00:00Israel has launched fresh attacks in the last few hours as the war with Iran and its supporters shows no
00:06signs of letting up.
00:07Several people are reported to have been killed in Lebanon on Wednesday as Israel targets the offices of Hezbollah in
00:13Beirut.
00:14The organization is a key ally of Tehran and has sent rockets into Israel.
00:19Israel has also launched new strikes on Iran itself.
00:22The Israel Defense Forces say one of its fighter planes has shot down Iranian Air Force jet over Tehran,
00:28a U.S.-based human rights agency, says the civilian death toll in Iran has now passed 1,000.
00:35Qatar has been targeted by two Iranian missiles.
00:38One was intercepted and the other struck a U.S. air base.
00:42The U.K. has chartered a commercial flight out of Oman's capital to bring stranded nationals home late on Wednesday.
00:49France has made similar plans.
00:51Meanwhile, stock markets across Asia are having a tough time,
00:55with exchanges in South Korea and Thailand being temporarily suspended.
01:00Now, as we have mentioned, Beirut has been rocked by explosions on Wednesday morning.
01:05Israel says it is targeting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah military group.
01:09Several other blasts have been reported across the Lebanese capital in the last couple of hours.
01:14Hezbollah has itself been launching missiles at Israel.
01:19And these are the latest pictures from Tehran.
01:21You can see plumes of smoke over the city after strikes which the Israel Defense Forces claim are targeting military
01:29bases.
01:33Signs of another night of strikes in Iran as smoke billows above Tehran.
01:38The Iranian Red Crescent says more than 700 people have died in the U.S.-Israel offensive since Saturday.
01:46And in Lebanon, more scenes of destruction as Israel continues to target Iran-backed Hezbollah compounds.
01:55The U.S. says that more than 2,000 targets have been hit in Iran so far,
02:01with more than 50,000 troops taking part in this joint operation.
02:06Last night, the American military named the first four of its troops to be killed.
02:12U.S. Central Command said six died when an unmanned aircraft system struck a tactical operations centre in Kuwait on
02:20Sunday.
02:21It says that its action will only intensify.
02:25You're going to really begin to perceive a change in the scope and in the intensity of these attacks
02:29as, frankly, the two most powerful air forces in the world take apart this terroristic regime
02:35and defang it and take away its ability to threaten its neighbours
02:38or hide behind a zone of immunity that allows them to develop their nuclear ambitions.
02:43But Iran is striking back.
02:46Warnings issued in Israel last night.
02:49Israeli forces intercepting Iranian fire.
02:54People flee in Dubai as plumes of smoke rise high from an attack on a car park next to the
03:00U.S. consulate.
03:01And the sky above Erbil in northern Iraq is lit up as Iranian drones are fired at.
03:07Iran is standing firm in its retaliation.
03:13What we are doing is targeting the places where attacks against Iran are instigated.
03:18This conforms to the international law.
03:20We are subjected to military aggression.
03:23We have the right and duty to defend.
03:25When military actions is being taken against us from the bases in regional countries,
03:30what are we supposed to do other than defending ourselves?
03:34The U.K. has begun what it calls defensive operations.
03:38A fighter jet from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus shoots down an Iranian missile over Jordan
03:44in this footage from the Ministry of Defence.
03:47The Prime Minister says other resources, like these helicopters,
03:51will be sent to the region along with the air defence destroyer HMS Dragon.
03:56But criticism that this may be too little too late came from the U.S. president yesterday.
04:02The U.K. has been very, very uncooperative.
04:05So we are very surprised.
04:06This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with.
04:10The strain on the so-called special relationship not echoed by the U.K. government.
04:16Look, words will be said, but we've got to look at the actions.
04:19And the Prime Minister is working closely with the Americans.
04:23He's been clear that the American military are able to make use of U.K. bases
04:29if they are going to do defensive action that will take out missiles.
04:32Missiles that could end up causing harm to British civilians in the Middle East or to others.
04:39A rescue in Iran after a strike.
04:43The regime here remains in place whilst the attacks continue,
04:47with no clear indication from the U.S. of what will lead to the end of this war.
04:53Alison Freeman, BBC News.
04:57Let's talk now to our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Nell, who's in Jerusalem.
05:01Yolande, just bring us up to date on the latest in regards to what Israel is doing against Iran and
05:06Lebanon.
05:08So, the Israeli military said this morning that it was carrying out what it called broad-scale attacks on Tehran
05:15on government sites there.
05:17Then we had this news a short time ago.
05:19They'd actually shot down an Iranian fighter jet in the skies over the Iranian capital with one of their F
05:26-35 warplanes.
05:28The first time they say that that has happened.
05:31Otherwise, overnight, the Israelis saying that they have gone after what they call military command sites,
05:38the headquarters of the Iranian internal security.
05:43And, you know, the U.S. figures that came out last night really underscoring, I think,
05:50the intensity of the firepower that is being used by the U.S. and Israel in this joint operation against
05:57Iran,
05:58with the Americans saying that close to 2,000 targets had been hit since Saturday
06:05and that Iran had fired some 500 missiles and about 2,000 drones.
06:13We've certainly seen more Iranian missiles incoming overnight.
06:18The Israeli air defences intercepted some missiles over Jerusalem.
06:24The thuds of those could be heard after warning sirens went off for people here early this morning.
06:31Israeli air defences also being used in the north of the country against incoming fire from the Lebanese armed group
06:38Hezbollah.
06:40And we've also had attacks, the Israeli military saying, going on in the southern suburbs of Beirut,
06:49in the east of Lebanon, and also now they've told more villages in the south of Lebanon, told people there
06:55to leave their homes.
06:56It's now about 80 villages that have been told they have to evacuate.
07:01And already a day ago, the Israeli military said it sent additional ground forces across the border that was taking
07:07additional areas there.
07:09You keep getting these comments from Israeli military leaders basically saying that it was a huge mistake by Hezbollah,
07:18the Lebanese armed group backed by Iran, to enter into this war.
07:24Yolande, am I right in saying that the majority of Israelis are behind its government in terms of what they're
07:30doing in Iran?
07:31Are you sensing any sort of conflict in public opinion there at all?
07:37I mean, really, it may be surprising to people outside that given the fact that people here are living with
07:43so many warning sirens,
07:45incoming missile fire, you've got schools closed, most businesses closed, really normal life on hold once again
07:53for people in Israel after two years of the Gaza war, that nevertheless there is strong support here for Israel's
08:02military action in Iran.
08:04And I think that has actually increased since the war started, despite the fact that you have had at least
08:1010 Israeli civilian casualties
08:13as a result of incoming Iranian missile fire.
08:17That is really because most Jewish Israelis describe Iran as being a real and immediate threat to them.
08:25And they see that there have been military successes so far.
08:29They're encouraged, too, by the close coordination that's going on between Israel and the U.S.
08:34Thank you, Yolande. That's Yolande now speaking to us in Jerusalem.
08:39Let's go now to Lina Sinjab in Beirut and Barbara Plett Asher in Doha.
08:44First to you, Lina, what is the latest on what's happening in Lebanon, the impact of Israeli strikes there?
08:53Well, as we heard from Yolande, more and more strikes here in south of Beirut, but also in southern Lebanon.
09:02Some of these strikes came without warning against residential areas, including a hotel.
09:08Well, in some areas that are outside the south of Lebanon, not Hezbollah's stronghold,
09:15in areas where IDPs or the people who are targeted in southern Beirut have fled to.
09:23So Israeli airstrikes are even following those who are fleeing the conflict,
09:29suspecting Hezbollah members to be among them.
09:32That was certainly the case in a hotel that was targeted this morning.
09:37And, you know, the families who were in the hotel, the hotel owner,
09:41all are saying they were surprised with this attack on them because they were all civilians there.
09:48Israel is giving more and more warnings to different locations.
09:52But the panic among people is spreading wide.
09:59You know, people are worried about what's going to happen next.
10:02They don't know where to go.
10:03Thousands have fled their homes now seeking shelters at schools, in the streets, in the open air.
10:10But also some people are joining family members across the country to seek safety.
10:16This is something that they've lived 15 months ago and they are yet living again today.
10:21And the worry is that no idea how long this is going to take and when it's going to end.
10:29If you stay with us, Lina, I'm going to bring Barbara in as well from Doha.
10:34Barbara, I read your article this morning on the BBC website about how all red lines have been crossed.
10:39This is how the Gulf states are reacting.
10:41Can you give us a sense, you know, how united are they in viewing this war?
10:46Are they speaking with one voice or are there splits?
10:52No, they are speaking with one voice, Namia.
10:55I mean, there's a pretty strong feeling here that the Arab countries did not want this war.
11:00They tried to stop it with mediation between the United States and Iran.
11:04And they're not participating in it.
11:06They've told the Americans, you cannot use your military bases.
11:08You cannot use our soil, our airspace to hit Iran.
11:13And yet the Iranians have unleashed this volley of hundreds of missiles and drones on them
11:17that are not only targeting the U.S. military bases, but also civilian infrastructure
11:22and severely disrupting the economy.
11:25So they have issued a joint statement by the Gulf Cooperation Council on Sunday.
11:30And independently, they also issue statements pretty much saying the same things,
11:34telling Iran that it's making a mistake, that these are treacherous attacks,
11:39that it's miscalculated, it's going to become more isolated,
11:42that there will just be more escalation, they should stop attacking their neighbors,
11:46we are not the enemy, but also saying we are going to defend,
11:51do everything we can to defend our territory and our citizens,
11:55and we reserve the right to respond if that becomes necessary.
11:59And at the moment, they're very much focusing on defense.
12:03The other day, the Qataris shot down two Iranian fighter jets in quite a dramatic development.
12:11But they said, again, we are going to do everything we can to prevent external threats.
12:17Whether they move on to the offensive is an open question,
12:20and what it would look like is another open question.
12:23But I think the longer this goes on, and if it continues in this way and doesn't die down,
12:29the more that might be considered.
12:31What the Iranians seem to be doing is trying to create as much pain in the Gulf as they can,
12:37which they can because it's such a crucial economic hub for oil and gas,
12:41and they can disrupt that, which they have as well,
12:44hoping that the Arab countries will put pressure on the U.S. to stop the war.
12:49But it could very well backfire with these countries instead,
12:55maybe being drawn more into the U.S. orbit on this war,
12:59and perhaps even coordinating more on it.
13:01At the moment, as I said, they're very much focused on defense.
13:05We don't know when the end is in sight, but if I can come back to you, Lina,
13:09and then I'll come back to Barbara and ask the same question.
13:12But if this does escalate, what is the biggest risk or fear that people feel?
13:19If I can come to you, Lina, on that in Lebanon.
13:26Well, you know, this is a small country with weak economy and no defense power.
13:32This is not a country that wants to be dragged into war
13:35and have no power to, you know, resist or fight back,
13:40especially that as a government, as leadership,
13:42they haven't taken the decision to be dragged into this war.
13:46In fact, they were trying to make efforts over the past year
13:49to negotiate, to find solutions, to force Hezbollah,
13:54to abide by the ceasefire agreement, disarm Hezbollah.
13:58But this is a group that's been armed, trained, and funded by Iran since the 80s
14:04that is really seen by the majority of Lebanese
14:07and certainly by the government as acting on behalf of Iran
14:11and for the Iranian interest and in dragging the country into an unnecessary war.
14:16The Lebanese people, the economy, the country really cannot afford being dragged into this war.
14:22They've made it clear officially they banned Hezbollah's military and security, you know, activities.
14:30However, the group is still acting solely for their own decisions
14:35and, you know, dragging the country into a further conflict.
14:40Now, there are lots of mediation going on, lots of, you know, messages, diplomatic messages going on
14:45to have this as contained as possible
14:49and not to drag it into a longer war like what the country witnessed in 2024
14:54when Israel almost eliminated all the leadership of Hezbollah
14:58and crippled its power and targeted areas.
15:04And if I can come to you on that, Barbara,
15:05what is the biggest risk or fear that the Gulf states face if this escalates?
15:11I think at the moment a huge concern is whether this is going to,
15:14the actual war strikes will drag on for quite a long time
15:18and really inflict a serious blow on the economy,
15:21that this is not going to be a short-term issue.
15:24This is very much against the brand of the Arab Gulf,
15:28which is stable, secure, welcoming to visitors, to travelers,
15:31ease of transit, ease of financial transactions,
15:36and, of course, the oil and gas industry,
15:38which is at the core of how this region runs.
15:42More broadly, there's a big question about what will happen when the attacks stop.
15:48What will Iran look like?
15:50President Trump the other day said,
15:52the people that we thought we wanted to lead Iran are all dead.
15:56Well, that's kind of alarming, I think,
15:58for people living next to Iran wondering who will take over
16:02or will it become chaotic and create long-term instability.
16:07These are some of the serious concerns here.
16:10Good to get your insights, both of you.
16:12Thank you so much.
16:13Lina Sinjab there in Beirut and Barbara Plett-Usher in Doha.
