Dixon and im Ellie Costello, and this is breakfast on gb news. So we start with breaking news in the last hour or so, and israel has reportedly launched an attack on iran overnight in a retaliatory strike, with reports of explosions near a military base in isfahan and thats according to us officials. Yes. Iranian state media have been quick to downplay the situation, claiming their air Defence Systems were able to destroy three drones in the centre of the country. Now yet to get any official statement from israel on the attack. Well, meanwhile, the Australian Government has urged its citizens to leave israel over fears of a revenge attack by iran. Lets talk to our security editor , mark white, who joins us editor, mark white, who joins us now. Morning, mark. What do we know at this stage . Morning well, we are still waiting on any official word from israel as to what this attack was, whether, of course, it was israel. We suspect it was, as israel. We suspect it was, as its being widely
I very much welcome the tone of the foreign secretarys remarks. This now opens the way for iran to play a constructive role in regional shares and noting that we have a profound common interest in defeating dinesh and the reactions from reality. Will we do not use the opportunity to employ the full british diplomacy to force intelligent, effect incorporation between riyadh and tehran towards a common strategy to defeat daish appeared he is quite right it is to achieve a measure reconciliation between saudi arabia and constructive engagement between those two important regional powers in addressing many challenges facing the region. That will not happen overnight. Hes absolutely right the measured tone of the response we heard from saudi arabia in stark contrast to the last measured response was heard from elsewhere in the region and is promising and i spoke last night we will maintain our engagement doing two things. Encouraging allies in the arab countries around the goals to be willi
Is the incremental additional money that theyve got to try to destabilize the region or send to their proxies, is that more important than preventing iran from getting a Nuclear Weapon . No. So i think again, this is a matter of us making a determination of what is our priority. The other problem with the argument that folks have been making about, oh, this is a windfall and suddenly iran is flushed with cash, and theyre going to take over the world. And i say that not tongueincheek, because if you look at some of the statements by some of our critics, you would think that iran is, in fact, going to take over the world as a consequence of this deal which i think would be news to the iranians. That argument is also premised on the notion that if there is no deal, if Congress Votes down this deal, that were able to keep sanctions in place with the same vigor and effectiveness as we have right now. And that, i can promise you, is not true. That is absolutely not true. I want to repeat wer
The deal we have negotiated achieves that goal. It make sure that iran does not get a Nuclear Weapon we have always recognized that even if iran does not get a Nuclear Weapon it still poses challenges to our interest and our values in the region and around the world. When this deal gets implemented, we know that we will have dismantled the immediate concerns around Irans Nuclear program. We will have brought the stockpile down to 98 . We will have reduce the number of centrifuges they operate. We will have installed an unprecedented inspections regime. That will remain in place not just for 10 years, but for the stockpile 15 years. Iran will have pledged to the International Community that it will not develop a Nuclear Weapon that will be subject to Additional Protocols. We will have disabled a facility like iraq the iraq facility from allowing iran to develop plutonium they could be used for a bomb. We will have greatly reduced the stockpile of uranium that is enriched, and we will ha
