CNN's Christiane Amanpour speaks to former MI6 chief John Sawers, who worked alongside Mossad and Shin Bet officials, about the wider war nobody wants. #CNN #News
@@MTAB-bs3xr They literally telegraphed everything three days before it happened ,and announced that they would retaliate two weeks beforehand, and during their attack they used missiles and technolgy that was old and disposable . It was never meant to be a serious threat. Iran does have hypersonic missiles that could penetrate iron dome .
Iran is not as reckless as the Zionists. Their response was calculated and not meant to create maximum damage but to show Zionists it as if it could hit anywhere in Israel. And teach the Zionists the rules of engagement. Unlike the Zionists the attack by Hamas made them lose their minds and go on a rampage, killing women and children and destroying civilian buildings, churches, mosques, hospitals etc
You mean vote out the supporters of the Muslim brotherhood in Congress. They are far FAR more disruptive and dangerous to the American way of life than the AIPAC/ISRAEL.
RU-vid already removing my comments that are anti Zionist or anti supporting Israel. This is absolutely ridiculous. Freedom of speech is dead in America.
His job before was professional liar. I doubt he's started telling the truth now. Listen to any of his speeches .. it's like he's living in a fantasy world
@@household6098he was a spy. How is that even remotely related to geopolitics or military strategy? CNN just brought him because spy sounds cool, but in reality it is as good as inviting a farmer and asking him about geopolitical conflicts.
@@zaurukraus9296 He was the head of MI6. That has everything to do with geopolitics and military strategy. He will know more than any politician on this subject. BUT - his job was lying. He is a liar. That's what he spent his career doing to the public.
🤣🤣🤣🤣So it's called a strategic misjudgment? The only misjudgment we all can see is a people thinking they can live peacefully by taking people's land all around the world.
These imperialist are very good at using the media to manipulate the facts to fool their naive public and give them the illusion that their endless wars of aggression around the world is to defend freedom n democracy
Lol😂😂😂 Now Iran has mapped all of the secret air defenses of the whole coalition. Russian awacs mapped all the radar signatures of the f35is from all angles and networking capabilities, Iran only used its cheap and old scrap to do this. Then Iran used only 9 of their advanced missles, with counter measures, to hit their 3 actual targets. The f35 airbase, which was used to attack the Iranian embassy, the air base in Ramone and rhe mossad 8200 intelligence base in the Golan. All of these advance missles with countermeasures got through and proved that all of israhell is vulnerable. It took 6 countries with 3 days notice to prepare and another 5 hr notice with the slow drones and still 🇮🇷 hit all their intended military targets. Lastly, by taking such a huge step from Iran proper, telegraphs that possibly Iran's nuclear capabilities are now ready and they can no longer be threatened. The nuclear monopoly of Israhell in the Middle East is now over. So a 1000% win for Iran 🇮🇷 😅😅😅😅 All of this fake ZNN news is now just trying to save face for israhells defeat.
The Iranians sent a swarm of drones to confuse the radar systems of the Iron Dome, and apparently 5 of the 7 ballistic missiles that they sent to strike the air force base that launched the attack in Syria struck their target. I'd say that was a resounding success considering that the place hit was supposedly the most heavily guarded place in the world against missile attacks.
and yet the US has voted against recognizing Palestine and Palestinians into the UN family..... US is totally complicite in this genocide, nothing less
This narrative about Iran failing is false, Iran knew it had to overload the iron dome, but they didnt want to hurt anyone. So it was actually a success because it made alot of noise but did not kill anyone
I agree. I would have thought that the commentator was parroting a talking point that the Iranian strike was a failure. They struck all 3 military targets that they wanted, and the drones and cruise missiles were fodder.
@ashleybasson5664 They struck partially the runway of the base where the aircraft that bombed the consulate took off from. Do you think if Isreal has been struck and there are civilian casualties, we know what will happen exactly. Isreal just proved that they can infiltrate the Iranian airspace when the need be and the Iranians knows that.
The Iranian regime is responsible for this war. Israel can't just lie down and die. Some background if you dare challenge your opinion: ru-vid.comF92flymXf5c?feature=shared
Failure right? Continue to take the world for idiots. We have eyes and ears and understanding to comprehend what is actually happening. You people underestimate the intelligence of the wider society. Shame
The only misjudgment here is the absence of realising that the Occupation is the Problem. Everything else is secondary.. until the Occupation ends, there’ll be No Peace nor any Security for Anyone.
It was such a failure that everybody that has allowed Isreal to level Gaza wouldn't let Netanyahu touch the Iranians. "I'm not the one..." came across loud and clear.
@@spidgeb3292 Thats not what he said, you should re-read. The argument is ''The iranian Response was a failure''. Not in terms of cost-efficiency, $100m offense vs $1.5 billion defence. How many rounds can the Iron Dome go for in this ring? Not many hense de-escalations and calls of quits from the west (bar the crazed Israeli government)
If the Iranian intention was to cause mass casualties why did they give advance notice just before the attack and use their cheapest & loudest drones. Clearly with good intentions, these officials are coming on to say Iran's response was a massive failure just to make netyahoo feel good about himself and de-escalate
You might be right. But they sent about 30 ballistic missiles. Pretty risky if you don't want to do damage. Were they really sure they would all be stopped?
As long as the Israeli western allies and genocide funders keep covering up Israelis aggression on Palestinians, you never condemned their actions a single time, you have no moral authority to come on media and talk about your concern for human rights and lives.
@@robinmattheussen2395 Not a fan of Democrats.. but Blinky is obviously doing his best.. his biggest problem is every time Biden says "don't", the enemy does.
It is hard to understand why any country would side with war criminals amid the destruction, ethnic cleansing and genocide being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza. Truly immoral and disturbing.
Jeffrey Sachs has given an excellent analysis of how the "West" has destroyed Ukraine while "Protecting Democracy" & this $61 billion will pretty much destroy what little is left. They have lost 100000s fighting men & unlike Russia can't replace them.
If u notice …not just scott ritter but many of retired USA/UK intelligence said the same thing…i guess since they are retired they no longer speak on behalf of the governments hence their analysis are more thruthful..

How did this guy forget to mention how Israel miscalculated and thought they could live alongside Europeans until 1940s when they realized they could not ?
Mind Begs the Question: - Hitler demonized the Vulnerable - To justify Evil Laws,Actions necessitate - For Security reasons - If a PM/Govt repeat same strategy - Democratic or Nazi?
For a spymaster, he certainly is very dim. Iran's drones were old, slow moving drones intended as a distraction. They were obviously meant to swarm and overwhelm Israel's air defenses so that the real missiles could get through - which they did on their three or four military targets. They probably caused considerable damage considering how much Israel restricted the press and only showed a hole that had been dug up with the pile of dirt from it nearby. Iran's retaliation cost Israel $1.2 billion in one night, cost Iran less than $70 million, gave Iran a great deal of information on Israeli defenses which Hezbollah took advantage of a couple of days later, and hit the targets Iran intended. This spymaster can only repeat the mainstream media propaganda and is incapable of thinking for himself.
Ukraine should have taken the Istanbul deal, but Boris Johnson convinced Mr. Z that he could become very wealthy if he goes ahead with the war with Russia. Mr. Z chose personal wealth over the lives of 500,000 young Ukrainian boys. NATO can never beat Russia in a ground war.
@@Perceptions-2.0 hopefully Johnson has the decency to never run for parliament again. But there's nothing decent about him so I have little doubt we'll see him again.
Dahhh, only a tiny got through? They gave them 72hr heads up then told they had lunched there attach 5min after they lunched, if you can’t stop incoming aerial attack with that kinda heads up, the most advanced air defence system in the world, and allied air support, then you might as well give up
Exactly! They sent some ancient stuff then gave em 72hrs and it took the efforts of u.s, u.k, israel, Jordan and saudi and spent 1.3 billion. Tehran spent 35 million.
Ms. Amanpour is Iranian, so I'm sure she'll agree with you. Similarly, Israel's response to that was in the heart of Iran. You don't think they couldn't have taken out Iran's nuclear facilities if they wanted?
@@robjohnston366 They could easily, however, Iran just gave warning of a missile attack on the single most missile defended place on Earth, which had support from 5 other countries AM systems, they used cheap drones, obsolete cruise, 2 obsolete ICBMs and 1 of their better systems, and penetrated. Every missile warfare specialist on the planet got the message. Lay people and politicians not so much.
i'm a liberal american and i challenge u to name ONE offensive american international behavior or action!? You slander the only powerful nation that has actively, for the most part, used strict ethics and moral/social codes and law enforcement of same, in its international war actions. Both the USSR and RU have never done that, EVER. And Ru in Chechnya commited the first notorious barbaric atrocities of the past many many decades. The Ru troops would tie one limb to one vehicle and another limb to another car, and drive apart and rip the person apart, i believe it's legs, so it really opens the person up. THAT is russia. THAT is sadistic psychopathic UNPUNISHED savagery and it's what ACTUAL colonialism is all about. Wake up to the reality of who's been whom in the past forty years. The US has improved and the East /south has done the exact opposite and grown into barbarism.
Not a failure at all, it was a very clever response. For every $10,000 Iranian Drone shot down. it cost Iarael $1 Million.. The total cost to Israel is estimated to be at Least 1.2 to 1.4 Billion Dollars for stopping $30 million worth of old expired drones. Not only is this cost prohibitive for Israel, Iran also gained enormous Military Intelligence eg. the exact location of all Israels defences, the exact response time and type of response. Who exactly will support Israel and who will not. It showed Iran the weaknesses of Israels defences also Iran didn't use it's Hypersonic Missiles. Israel cannot withstand more attacks from Iran both financially & Militarily.
Remember that France, Jordan, the UK, and the US participated in Israel's defense. Maybe they can absorb more than you think. Israel also has a defense budget 2.5 times larger than Iran's.
Just 5 missiles got through a military base with two of the top anti air systems in the world. Ah they only launched 7 missiles to this base, that was the real message
@@spidgeb3292 so you're doubting someone's opinion about a video that you didn't even watch? What's the point of even writing your comment when you literally don't know what you're talking about.

@@naushad5139 Israel did let its guard down at the Gazan border. But how did the Israelis miscalculate the Iranian response? Israel's response this latter showed that Israel could strike the heart of Iran anytime it wanted. The Iranians might publicly shrug it off, but they should be quaking in their boots, because Israel might have to actually attempt to hit it's nuclear facilities.
The sad point is the simple reason why Israel attacked the Iranian embassy: Within Israel's system, no intelligence officer or analyst, no one in their chain of command up to the Chief of Staff, nor the Defense Minister at the top, was aware of the term "extraterritorial" and the fact that an embassy is considered a territory of the country it represents. For all of them, this was just yet another Hezbollah target, not different than any other target which was attacked in Lebanon and Syria.
The embassy was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, up till now Iran never directly responded to Israeli aggressions,it was a dumb move by Netanyahu if you ask me and a war crime but of course they’ve been committing war crimes openly for the last 6 months
@@Jupiter-td4kw The Lebanon campaign was started by Hezbollah, actively backed by Iranian military. There are no allegations of war crimes, as civilians were evacuated on both sides. The Iranians who were killed were military officers sent to wage war in a foreign land. What did they expect?
@@amos083the Iranians have been in Syria ever since the war against Isis began,they are there by the request of the Syrian government, the Israelis attacking Syria by itself is unlawful let alone targeting an Iranian embassy is Syria.if every goes then the Iranians can also target Israeli embassies around world no?
@@amos083btw Israel invaded Lebanon twice before Hezbollah even existed, the very reason why Hezbollah was created was because of the Israeli aggression against Lebanon,same goes with Hamas,the Israeli behavior is propping up these militias around it, Iran never attacked Israel directly until the April 14th,by attacking Iran’s embassy they got attacked directly,this action worked against them and this is why you see high ranking Israeli intelligence officers “resigning” ,intelligence failure one after another
The Brits woll have you believe that Irans retaliatory strike was a failure when they , the Americans and the Israelis were informed 13 days prior to prepare. What a joke.
Nothing he says seems even remotely wrong to me, although the discussion is relatively surface-level. You don't have to agree with him, but I'm not sure calling the former chief of MI6 "clueless" is necessary a great showing of your own judgement.
@@robinmattheussen2395 Just because someone is head of MI6 doesn't make them knowledgeable; MI6 employ some very competent people, but they rarely get to the top - it's the political bum sucks who rise.

It is best to use your own judgement, unless you want to unquestioningly believe what those in power wish to offer?

and just covering his bullshit uk. it was boris war criminal johnson that just 2 weeks into russia/ukriane told uktriane RIP IT UP NEVER SURRENDER. when russia tried to get a peacedeal all ukraine had to to was remain neutral and stay out of nato. something both sweden and finland did with zero issues and acautlly made there countries more safe. notice too the neutral countires of ww2 ie sweden ie switlerand it also severed them well too safteywise. like WTF is the west even in ukraine and gave billions of tax payers money to a non nato coutnry ukriane that was zero percent of there business. there are plenty of non nato coutnries around the world htat never get even 1 usd in some conflict guess why cuase liars west this was nothing to do wiht ukraine but all to go after russia.
This man is talking NONSENSE. It was never in the interest of Irael to live with the Palestinians but to remove them (even by force causing total destruction) so that they can create a state of their own.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Are we to assume the US and the UK would not make response if one of their consulates was attacked? Would we expect either country would simply lay down under the bus the attacking bus?
I think if the US/UK is using their consulate buildings as their military command centre they really ought not to be surprised if it's targeted. Common sense really
The point of being allied is to be there for each other, what would happen if the US gets assaulted, can its allies just say umm , we are staying out of it?
It was not the embassy building nor is it Israel that has instigated any of this. Israel had peace with Iran before Khamenei. ru-vid.comF92flymXf5c?feature=shared
@@ZangariRC Because of course all Israelis to this day are responsible for something that was most likely an error, definitely not sanctioned by the government, not to mention the public.
Right... because Pakistan *accepted the partition plan*. The Arab league AND Palestinians REJECTED the two state solution, and chose annihilation of Israel, people and all. They failed, Guess what: when you lose a war, you lose EVERYTHING. That is how it has always worked, that is how it worked in the year 70 AD when the Israelite kingdoms were destroyed by Rome.
Is it working, Pakistan and India!!(?) If the Taliban gain a functional foothold in Pakistan, and they are working at it, We would have a bona fide lunatic nuclear armed theocracy next to India, which itself has strong Hindu leanings now....that just frightens me. It may look like it is working, until it isn't..
fight alone means iran have all the control of the middle east and US can say bye bye to this part of the world/oil/control and dollar - and all this go to russia china and iran and after that US is the next and they gonna forget that american dream with everybody watching them go down after not being involved in Ukraine war and israel war nobody stay with them cuz they're weak
How is it a failure .... with four countries' support, and one week, 3day, one day, and 5 hour prior warning, missiles and drones still managed to get through.... imagine if it was a surprise attack.
Because they want Iran to know that we didn’t sanction Israel’s retaliatory response, so that the regional conflict will not escalate. Whether Iran buys it is another issue.
So John Sawers says Russia is run by a powerful figure. I say at least the Russians know who the leader in their country unlike the US & UK both controlled by foreign lobbies.
You're not a military analyst & stop babbling that it was a failure. The success was to puncture the overestimated iron dome. Also, remember attacking an embassy is illegal regardless how many goofs of your military members are in there. UK US & others have always had their bldy military members in their embassies; so what??
Hmmm? No, I don't think you understand what that phrase mean. You're being taxed, and you're being represented by a rep in the US government who you got to vote on. That rep, in representing the people, then voted to approve the aid package, funded partially by your tax dollars. It's precisely the opposite of what you claim.
@@robinmattheussen2395 I know that’s what that means. I meant that our tax dollars are being allocated to these countries which most of us don’t agree with. Our representatives are not representing us but their special interests. Our money isn’t serving our country or our interests.
No it's in the interest of US National security because American prosperity and influence depends on global trade and stability. kaputin would like US citizens to believe that isolation is best because that allows him to operate a terrorist state to rebuild the ruzzian empire. It's standard FSB misinformation that is more cost effective than a fighting war that he knows he would not win. Much easier to fund a compromised political actor who will try to take USA out of NATO. The only country to invoke Article 5 was USA so clearly against US national interest to leave NATO.
@@rettro6578 i hope so. Bc it seems most media here is painting Iran to be the terrorist. Israel is causing mass havoc i don’t understand the power the country holds that allows them to still control the narrative.
That was a tiny attack easily ignored, which means Israel was strongly restrained by the USA because Israel wanted to make a huge attack and start an all out war.
@@lubna.candid well you figure it out ... iran did threaten them if they attacked. Is isreal calling the bluff or sending them a warning? Just like gaza? Sending a warning? To all proxies and anyone who wants to hide proxies within community?
@@lubna.candid because Israel needed to appease their hardliners, just like Iran needed to appease their hardliners. The difference is, despite Iran being run by religious fanatics, those fanatics are not as out of control as the Israeli fanatics. Of course, with so many fanatics on both sides, hard to tell whether the slightly more sane of those fanatics can keep the less sane of those fanatics from escalating things right up into regional nuclear war, which is exactly what the most extreme Zionist supremacists want.
It turns out that Israel sees what it wants to see, speaks as it suits them, and acts because the political interests of America are behind it. Hooligan in the political arena. Thei forgot history.
Poor american parents will watch their children brutally killed in war against iran while protecting netanyahu n israeil...while netanyahus son parties in usa...😂😂😂
2:06 How was the Iranian response a failure when it penetrated the zionist settler state air defense as Hezbollah got many strikes in as it was busy with the Iran retaliation
Israel has made several strategic misjudgements of late, not least being the remarkably stupid idea that Hamas could be bludgeoned into oblivion after October 7th
so they wont be bludgeoned. they wont get any weapon supply through gaza tunnels when we take over rafah . they can fight with slingshots. and the gazan population cant say anymore "we dont support hamas" when they never demanded them to sit and have peace talks with israel(they did protest covid restrictions)
the stock market tanked the day before the attack, Hamas bascially works for the isrealli intelligence. there was extreme short selling the day before the attack, theres articles on sky news on the matter. the Isreallis already know of the attck, thats why the positions were ungaurded yo let them in. Iron Dome which can shoot missles out of the sky but cant shoot slow moving paragliders, whole thing was fixed to try and steal some more land of the poor palastinians before a final deal with saudi arabia is reached

It can be assumed that they did this because they felt pressured to respond to Israel's strike, to not political weakness in Iran internally, but also not wanting to cause a direct conflict for which neither side was prepared. UK, French, US and Israeli forces were on standby to intercept any incoming attack. Even Jordan was ready to take down a couple of targets. Nobody doubted that this was coming.
You Brits are amazing, take care of your country and Russia will do the rest. You are living in a clown world, get your head straight before you loose it.
Iran's military has been gradually improving. When you've reached a poiint where your military industrial complex is making weapons and selling them to Russia, you should be taken seriously; that where Iran is. What's most impressive about Iran is that their response has been measured. Meaning that they are picking when and where to respond. You should worry about an opponent who doesn't respond emotionally. The Iranians are being strategic... and they're thinking long term.

Iran is de-escalating. And in the end, theyre far behind others in terms of weapons, and many of them so far are only for propaganda (no proof they actually work, do what they say)
A news report stated that if there is a permanent cease fire the military wing of Hamas would be abolished and the political arm would work on creating an enduring peace. Major statement if this still exists.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. But instead of empowering potential victims, democrat politicians in blue states, the White House, and democrats Barry/Joe are actively pushing regressive gun control policies that are disarming women and emboldening violent criminals in the process. Let’s start with New York, the state that saw their onerous concealed carry permitting scheme slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Within months, democrat state lawmakers and democrat Governor Hochul passed a new and even more restrictive law, in direct defiance of the High Court and the Second Amendment. Today in New York, virtually all private property is classified as a gun free zone, many public locations are deemed too “sensitive” for carry, and all public transportation is off limits for those just looking to stay safe on their commute to and from work. If you’re a woman in NYC, you’ve been disarmed and left defenseless in every practical sense. In the nation’s capital, Barry/Joe and democrat anti-gun lawmakers have instituted de facto waiting periods for adults under 21 trying to buy a gun, banned millions of pistol-braced weapons, and now are pushing for background checks on virtually every gun sold in America. One can bet the college student with a known stalker isn’t thrilled that she’ll now have to wait weeks to buy a gun, or the single mom who just had a home break-in is terrified since she can no longer easily acquire a gun from her friend or neighbor for fear of being prosecuted for not undergoing a background check. Here are the sobering facts the Left doesn’t want the public to see - women are buying guns, and they’re doing so at a rate higher than ever before in history. Data from Harvard’s School of Public Health confirmed that nearly 50% of new gun owners in 2021 were women, and polling confirms that the leading reason women own guns is self-defense. Members of Congress are being carjacked blocks from the U.S. Capitol, when a young woman is murdered in Georgia by an illegal alien while simply on a run, and when gun free zones in places like NYC and across the USA are doing nothing to stop violent individuals from using guns to harm the innocent, people will see through the facade and demand change. Women are increasingly seeing through these lies about crime and gun control, and pro-gun organizations are stepping up in response. This past March on the weekend of International Women’s Day, Gun Owners of America and Empowered 2A hosted their latest firearms safety and gun rights advocacy event, a women’s only range event in Texas with over 300 attendees. Gun rights are women's rights, and no this isn’t just some theoretical slogan, the data confirms that women are arming themselves. Just last summer, one researcher identified over a dozen confirmed instances in a mere two week stretch where women used a firearm to protect themselves, often from intimate partners or exes. Women want to see real action on preventing violence, like weaponizing U.S. Attorneys offices in major cities against the countless criminals who use firearms in the commission of crime, but later get let off by democrat local prosecutors.
All of those people have lost their damn minds. We're just extremely fortunate that the Arab and Islamic states and even the Russians actually care about silly things like, consequences, particularly so when they're catastrophic consequences and do their best to avoid imposing them because they'd rather not kill a bunch of innocent people if it can be avoided. The US will legit get us all killed if something doesn't give.
It's just because these titles are centuries old, think of others like Master of Ships etc. to the King. Alot of British names are a mix of old and new as some titles are from centuries ago and others weren't created until centuries after. Another example is here in the States we call it the Defense Department where they call it the Ministry of Defense.
