if the islamic state was able to do this -- the reality is the islamic state is the islamic state as a minor player in afghanistan. it is the taliban and its allies were the primary threat. the islamic state is a tertiary threat. they do have the capability to do this and this one's firefighters throughout the world. alix: i'm asking you to speculate, but based on your knowledge of what is going on the ground, what would -- who was the target of the two bombs we saw and in that case where else can we be worried? bill: i think the target of this attack is to disrupt -- this is the islamic state. they want to kill as many americans and foreigners as possible. if it is another group, if it is the taliban or allied to the taliban, i think the purpose of that attack is to -- i think this entire effort, the chaos in kabul is orchestrated by the taliban to maximize the chaos and humiliation for the u.s. and western allies. if it was conducted by elements within the taliban this would be part of that to make things were difficult to conduct the evacuation. alix: we appreciate your perspectiv

it really did take on islamic state. that was a real concern. that is, the logic state was being pounded in parts of the middle east. it was being shrunk in syria and iraq, that it was a sending fighters, or it was starting to lay down roots in afghanistan, and in particular, in eastern afghanistan at around 20182019 the, the, the government, the government kind of stand supported by us forces and in particular, us power really did target them and really pounded them in the strongholds in the east of the country. and it was thought at one point that they pretty much been defeated islamic state apart from a few pockets of resistance. but you know, that was at a time where you had a stronger, more confidence afghan government backed up. of course, by far more americans, american military might. all of that has now gone. you have a, a taliban that is feeling its way into this government that it suddenly found itself inheriting. it has a country to run. it has married problems of job, just a governing the country. regardless of trying to maintain se

state attacks — afghanistan's branch of the islamic state group — and they are looking at alternative routes to get evacuees to the airport. so it seems to be in flux at the moment. the white house did say that president biden had discussed with his national security team the potential of the is threat, amongst other things, earlier today. and i should say that the islamic state group itself has not publicly threatened attacks in kabul — although recently it did make a statement calling the taliban "us stooges", saying it was preparing for a new phase of resistance — jihad. possibly important to remind viewers possibly important to remind viewe ., �* , possibly important to remind viewe . �* , , ., , viewers that there's tensions between the _ viewers that there's tensions between the two _ viewers that there's tensions between the two groups, - viewers that there's tensions between the two groups, no| viewers that there's tensions - between the two groups, no love lost between the taliban and the self—styled islamic state. no, that's correct, the taliban and islamic state i

tonight, the islamic state will likely release its weekly newsletter. we will find out more, especially what they are going to say, but the taliban forces have been fighting each other since 2015, when is first announced its presence. continuous efforts to suppress operations in afghanistan. is still has its efficiencies. an example in the last few days, is actually attacks the tablian the day before kabul fell. during one of the tablian's prison breaks, they executed a former leader. you could see that even while the tablian has been doing these prison breaks, they tend to cycle between those who may be actual operatives of the tablian or al qaeda versus those who might be with the islamic state. in terms of known unknowns, they include the status of those released from the prison itself by the tablian and the potential operatives amongst them. this outflow of jihadi veterans will likely helps jumpstart aq's efforts to build infrastructure. it is hard to know who these individuals are and what they have previously done. some insight will hopefully be g

>> the islamic state province, it's an element of the islamic state's global network. it has several thousand fighters inside afghanistan, and it is a dangerous organization, as we saw it yesterday, but the threat from afghanistan by isk is more localized, and look, to me the real threat in afghanistan is the taliban, and the taliban because of its relationship with al qaeda. the taliban al qaeda relationship has endured it is not diminished, as president biden has stated. this has been a talking point for three successive administrations for well over a decade now. they have sent this in order to justify the withdraw from afghanistan, after all you can't leave afghanistan if al qaeda is still strong there. but then again, i'm not discounting the threat from the islamic state out of afghanistan, but i just want to reiterate that threat that the taliban controls a state now they did this with the help of al qaeda and that is the real threat that we should be concerned about that we should focus on and one more point quickly on the islamic state, there's credible reporti

we are in the islamic state overran iraq. it was a perception, very deeply felt inside iran, that they were coming to iran next, not just the holy cities, but iran itself was a threat. that certainly was exacerbated by the attack in july 2017. one day, the islamic state attacked both the building in tehran and also the tomb in tehran, killing 17 people. there is this perception that the islamic state was coming to take on iran. therefore, iran became hostile to them. it is unclear if that is what will happen here as well. but so far, we see no indication of that at all. let me close by offering a couple of comments about lessons this offers to the u.s. one is that the iranian regime places great priority on hostility toward the united states and is prepared to swallow a lot in order to cooperate with those who are hostile to the u.s. it is futile to think the u.s. will be able to reach an agreement with iran about matters like missiles or iran's regional activities. iran might agree to something but go about the same objectiv
