The crisis in the Middle East is escalating. Iran and Hamas are accusing Israel of assassinating Hamas's top political leader, Ismael Haniyeh. They say Wednesday's airstrike in the Iranian capital Tehran will not go unpunished. Hardline protesters took to the streets, vowing revenge and denouncing Israel and the US.

For the latest, we talk to our correspondent Tania Krämer in Jerusalem.

We also speak with Alex Vatanka, director of the Iran Program at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC.

And we talk to Laura Blumenfeld. She is a Middle East analyst, a best-selling author and she served in the US State Department as senior policy advisor for the Middle East Peace Process.

    I have lost the count of how many vows Iran has taken till date without any follow-up actions!
  • @grvc44
    Why do Iran act like they are a Victim all the time?
  • @bryanv.635
    Iran don't like it when it gets rockets, Iran is firing many rockets in Israel! Is there a double standard here?

    First he had a meeting with the new President Then he had a meeting with the old President
  • @SeeLasSee
    A man like this is justGross, living wealthily in Qatar off stolen funds.
  • @KS-zq7zy

  • @kanthlk
    Iran just covered itself with a burqa out of shame
  • @basiladnan1557
    Not humiliation, but this event shows how inefficient and careless the Mullahs' regime of Iran is.
  • @rorytribbet6424
    How many times have you played videos of Netanyahu laughing and smiling among Allies or partners on this channel? Zero. It’s gross that you’re doing postmortem PR for one of Hamas’ terrorist masterminds like this. Just gross.
  • Yesterday day Haniyeh went to meet the new Iranian president Today he is with the former president
  • @TizBaz5
    While the Hydra will doubtless grow a new head, I very much disagree with her characterization of Haniyeh as just a messenger.
  • @avieus
    The guest’s hairdo is the real atrocity
  • @ramlanmzm1644
    Careless & inability & big misteks of Iranian poor intelligence & security sectors 😢😢😢
  • @tunpru1422
    Where were UN and scam HR brokers while Iranian rockets killed innocent children in golan heights?
  • @Bonjour-World
    Iran's hardline clerics were dissatisfied with Ismail Haniyeh recent performance. The missile went through his bedroom Window as he went to bed. That targeting information had to be coordinated in real time by someone inside the Iranian Security Forces.
  • @Apple-bee
    Imagine trying to sleep with fear if your a hamas leader
  • @ExConDon2
    Those protesters are looking so reluctant and lack of energy
