00:00How vulnerable do you think the leadership in Iran actually is right now?
00:04I mean, given that some major figures have been assassinated in the last 24 hours,
00:09I mean, do you think there could even be an appetite on Israel's part to go for the people at the very, very top?
00:17Well, that isn't something which Israel appears to have done so far.
00:20It's focused on military leaders and nuclear scientists, clearly to make any Iranian retaliation more complex,
00:30because you've effectively taken out two or three of the top military officers in the country,
00:37but also to create in Iran a sense of vulnerability.
00:41I think that's true.
00:42I don't believe, though, at the moment that Israel has taken action,
00:46which is very clearly designed to try to topple the Iranian regime or anything of that sort,
00:52I think this is firmly based on Iran's nuclear and military capability.
