Images to blame others for his own strategic blunders or maybe to evade the domestic crisis that facing his hash has been covering this security conference for us from munich you know it almost reminded me hashem of like a Un General Assembly situation where leaders get a chance they stand there they say what they want about other countries and carry on with the next speech. Indias come a great deal of saber rattling today in the munich conference where the israeli Prime Minister saying that his government wont allow iran to further expand in syria particularly the idea of this land corridor or the stretches from to have on all the way to the North Eastern part of syria on the mediterranean the israeli Prime Minister says hes concerned iran is trying to build Permanent Military bases inside syria and also a naval base on the coast which hes concerned could be used by hezbollah to launch attacks against israel something that has been dismissed by the Iranian Foreign minister. Who says basically that the problem there with the region has been facing over the last four decades is basically mis steps by the americans by the israelis and by the saudis are saying that these are the ones who have to be held accountable for the mess that you see in the region lets rattle one further saber then hashem and that is that saudi arabia how do they fit into the mix at least today in you know. Form is that religion was basically saying exactly reiterating of the same position of his country over the last two years which is basically the accuse iran of destabilizing the region spreading radical ideology and that they are using their influence in places like yemen like syria to further expand their influence but also to undermine sounds of arabia lets listen to what i village of a hard to say. We cannot afford to put up with the when the revolution penetrant supports the reasonableness sanction for terrorism is because it supports terrorism. We didnt mention them the International Community did the reason you promise to action for violating Ballistic Missiles accords is because it does and the reason they are going to sanction. On Human Rights Violations just because it does so there has to be a fundamental change in the Iranian Regime it would be for iran to be treated like a normal country. The song words actually say she is counter because they should have been here over the last few days here in security Conference Live the region in tatters the live on is defense minister said that if israel decides to attack his country lebanon is ready to respond and the United Nations envoy to syria Staffan De Mistura said that the regional into through interference in syria and across syria poses a serious threat to the region asking all the parties to come together negotiate an inclusive political settlement to the crisis in syria and saying that if that doesnt happen i still could go back come back. At the Munich Security Conference thank you hashem Andreas Krieg is with us in studio good friend of the grid an assistant professor at the Defense Studies Department at Kings College london so. I think hashem said saber rattling i said it earlier insecurity its giving off this feeling of insecurity do you think were getting any closer to you know a worse situation in the middle east based on what we hear iran and israel say if you look at the title of the conference it was about it to the brink and back i think were law closer to the brink here actually when you listen to that the specially the saudis the iranians and the israelis i think theres a lot of tension in the middle east and the tension now is not so much between israel and the arab world its more between those who support iran and those who are against iran and i think the saudis are now on the on the side of the israelis trying to somewhat gather is some support especially in d. C. For a potential pre neary attack or a precautionary attack if you will against iran and the question is whether the america road to do that now but wider than that circle that you talk about saudi arabia. The United States who else could potentially be in that circle supporting something against iran im trying to get an idea because its easy to point iran out as the bad guy here who else is on board there now i think this is a new conservative if you will not i wouldnt say a conspiracy you see but there are a great range of people who jump on the n. T. Iran narrative by saying iran is the biggest problem hiding behind the wall of saying its very easy to point fingers here in a very in a quite my situation the middle east is as in stable as it hasnt been for many many decades probably at its most unstable at this point and you know the border between israel and syria which for many years was relatively predict predictable and stable is now being somewhat the the ground zero for potential escalation of this proxy war between israel and its iranian proxies now there are a white range of different groups who are interested in trying to point the finger at iran by saying iran is supporting terrorism iran is supporting instability in the region and the iranians have a good point to say actually no its not only us were responding to something its a chicken and egg its not about whos actually starting you know this is a huge circus thats going on there in munich in reality all of them are to blame all of them have a role to play in what is a proxy war in syria all of them have a role to play in the arab spring where they have funded or supported opposite sides of the conflict you know it draws in turkey as well you know theyre part of this conflict as well draws in russia which is part of the conflict as well and all sides are blaming each other for something that theyve all kind of exacerbated tell me about saudi arabia in this puzzle as well saudi arabia traditionally obviously a very big power in the region but as you also pointed out closer to israel certainly on the iran issue where does it fit in with its as you can through the gulf crisis and terrorists for oil i mean its funny how the saudis are now opting to to stand with israel or against iran rather than standing with for example qatar a country which has always been somewhat in the middle on the fence on many of these issues saudi has tried also in the in the u. S. And in part of the gulf crisis was trying to win over. The new conservatives in washington and in london and in the west bring them around and say look we have one big problem that is iran we and its very easy for the saudis to do that because this for them its a way out of getting themselves out of this problem because they have been blamed as being the main sponsor for terrorism all along a lot of evidence has been provided that they have been in the past and now its easy for them to say actually no its not us its actually the iranians and now more recently they said its actually been the countrys since about putting the blame that was put upon them on other people and the israelis are now playing suit you know then right there following that kind of narrative and so do a lot of conservatives in washington who see the world in the middle east which is very complex as black and white good guys versus the bad guys and iran is just playing that role of being the bad guy while everybody is really to blame for where we are at the moment and what is needed is dialogue rather than confrontation i think its another day in the middle east the thing that i sometimes wonder is great pleasure to see you again thank you for your time so what do you get in touch with us on that story or any of the stories which were covering here come you can tell details on screen now hashtag a.
