Iran: the regional fallout

Available for over a year

After US-Israeli attacks on Iran, surrounding countries have quickly been drawn into the war following retaliatory strikes by Iran and Hezbollah. Pascale Harter introduces correspondents' analysis and reflection from Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Germany. Major cities across Iran have been hit - destroying civilian buildings in Tehran, as well as military sites in Natanz and Isfahan. Many Iranians are now trying to flee the ongoing attacks by crossing into neighbouring countries. James Waterhouse reports from the Turkey-Iran border. There's a sense of déjà vu for the people of Lebanon who are once again forced to shelter after the militia group Hezbollah launched missiles and drones into Israel to avenge the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei. Israel has hit back at Hezbollah's Lebanese strongholds. Wyre Davies has been in Beirut. Many of the missiles fired towards Israel failed to penetrate its Iron Dome defence system - but there have still been Israeli casualties. Nine people died after a synagogue in Beit Shemesh was hit, penetrating the bomb shelter beneath it. Hugo Bachega reports from Tel Aviv. And a renowned restaurant in Berlin which cast itself as a symbol of breaking bread across religious and political divides has just gone out of business. Lucy Ash pulled up a chair as one of its last diners, just as news of another conflict broke.
