00:00International news now. Hezbollah says it's still searching for the body of a top commander killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.
00:07A Lebanese militant group's first comments follow the attack that has many worried about a wider conflict in the Middle East.
00:15Only a few hours after the strike in Lebanon, Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by an airstrike in Tehran.
00:24Hamas and Iran have blamed Israel for the airstrike that killed the head of the group's political bureau.
00:32Retired U.S. colonel and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council Rich Utzon commented on what this means for a potential broader escalation in the Middle East.
00:41I think the whole logic of the Iranian campaign regionally against Israel rests on avoiding an escalation into conventional warfare.
00:50And in fact, Iran does not possess very strong conventional capabilities, say the ability to launch airstrikes with manned aircraft or a ground invasion.
00:59So it's a little bit limited in what they can do. We saw back in April that they can launch UAVs and rockets and missiles that as of yet are not particularly effective.
