you talk about iran reining these groups in. how much influence, how much capability does it have to do that, do you think? it depends which groups we're talking about. these are different relationships here. some of them are very well armed, on their own accord like hezbollah. some of them are probably a little bit more independent of iranian direction, like the houthis. and the iraqi militias are also a fairly diverse number of groups, they're under the umbrella category of the resistance movement in iraq. but, you know, they've been stocked up by iran. they have missiles. these are not, in many cases, terribly sophisticated attacks. they can fire rockets towards american bases on their own steam. however, i think they probably do depend on iran in some cases for intelligence and targeting information. and i think iran probably does also have a fairly substantial degree of political influence over what they do. so whilst there's an arm's length relationship, iran does nonetheless wield considerable influence over their actions

hard to believe, but iran's islamic revolution is 45 years old. after the shah left, ayatollah khomeini flew to tehran from exile in paris on 1st february, 1979. his support wasn'tjust based on radical religious activists. far—left—wing revolutionaries had supported him too, and soon the factions fell out and started fighting. then, the following year, 1980, iran's neighbour, saddam hussein of iraq, invaded, kicking off a war that lasted eight long years. iran only survived by mobilising genuine and patriotic support, and by repression. i often visited iran in the �*80s and �*90s and though the rule of the ayatollahs felt stable, it never seemed permanent. and yet it's overcome several popular uprisings from 2009 onwards. its leadership apart, iran is remarkably sophisticated and quite wealthy, and a lot of middle class people are strongly influenced by western ideas. the only way the regime can carry on is by a pretty crude use of force. and yet, urban women, in particular, challenge the rules of the regime on a daily basis. despite this

trump did retaliate and killed the head of the iran revolutionary guard in iran. so many people are seeing that as a template that biden could follow. instead of hitting directly inside iran, to make sure that iran is held accountable aim, to hit iranian commanders on the ground in iraq and syria, may be an iranian ship. i think that is what we will see from biden and i think trump administration would handle it similarly. administration would handle it similarl . ., ~ administration would handle it similarl. ., ,, , administration would handle it similarl . ., ,, , . administration would handle it similarl . ., ~ , . ., similarly. thank you very much for 'oinin: similarly. thank you very much for joining us- — similarly. thank you very much for joining us. let's _ similarly. thank you very much for joining us. let's take _ similarly. thank you very much for joining us. let's take a _ similarly. thank you very much for joining us. let's take a look- similarly. thank you very much for joining us. let's take a look at - similarly. thank you very much for joining u

let's talk about iran first of all let's talk about iran, first of all, because, you know, what is new today is that our colleagues at cbs news reporting that the approval has been given for strikes over a series of days and crucially, on iranian personnel and facilities, but not inside iran itself. now, i think there's two things behind this, the fact that this information is now coming out, because what we heard from lloyd austin, as they all say, they're not going to sort that's the very sort of public from the podium line. but this information is now coming out obviously, from elsewhere in the administration, because i think what they want to do is to show to the iran hawks here in washington that they are going to respond decisively. it is coming, but they're kind of keeping things in a holding pattern because people will be asking the question, well, why haven't there been any military strikes already since these three soldiers were killed at the weekend? so, i think there's one thing to say about the targeting, and that is it's very notable that this does not mention iran itself
