S. Says the strikes were a decisive response to threats by iranian backed forces against american personnel similar to fulton reports from Anbar Province. An unprecedented confrontation between the u. S. And iran on iraqi soil for the 1st time. Im u. S. Airstrikes targeting the bases of an iranian backed armed group killing and injuring dozens the operation in response to a series of rockets that struck military bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed a u. S. Contractor was killed in the most recent attack in care koch what we did was take a decisive response that makes clear what President Trump has said for months and months and months which is that we will not stand for this the republic of iran to take actions to put american men and women in jeopardy that type hezbollah is part of the Popular Mobilisation forces a Paramilitary Group set up to fight eisel its integrated into iraqs armed forces though the u. S. Has accused some factions in the pm of taking orders from to hand rather than baghdad until recently the us and the pm a fought side by side against isis following isis territorial defeat 2 years ago the us retained around 5000 troops in country to support Iraqi Security forces as they search for i saw sleeper cells hiding in deserts one of those clearing operations coincided with the u. S. Mission against the type that i know as an airbase here in western Anbar Province is an important launching pad for operations against beisel but recent rocket attacks against bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed including i know last an air base in early december could hamper operations raising fears of a proxy war between the u. S. And iran on iraqi soil in an unusual announcement following the i know acid attack the u. S. Publicly blamed the type hezbollah the Iraqi Government hasnt attribute it blame but has tightened security. Said the very increase security measures were. Cooperation with Coalition Forces there are surveillance patrols and additional troops to secure the outer perimeter of a search to protect the base investigations are continuing on to know but its not complete it. Promises of investigations have done little to reassure the u. S. None of the governments probes into any of the previous rocket attacks have been published the analysts say the details are well known and. I think that iraqi joint Operation Command in the iraqi intelligence has many details about the people who attacked the key wouldnt be cook Iraqi Government was confused because the pressure of could keep his blood is deeply entrenched in the Iraqi Parliament in the Iraqi Government and thats why they decided to keep in line with iran and the iranian Political Parties the Iraqi Government divided and weekend after 3 months of protests demanding sweeping political change has called on all sides to cease any unilateral actions neither the u. S. Nor the p. M. S. Appear to be listening both have to take action setting the stage for further escalation on a full Team Al Jazeera but that mike hanna is live for us in washington mike whats the latest reaction in the u. S. Senior Administration Official has briefed reporters saying that this has got to be categorized as a defensive action as he puts that however he says as well that its got to be seen in the context of raising the level of the terences reported against iranian proxies within iraq now the attacks were carried out on 3 bases in iraq 2 bases in syria this the Administration Says will command and control centers as well as weapons caches but also the Administration Officials say that this follows some 11 attacks by iranian proxies as they put it against bases on which they are u. S. Personnel the Administration Official says that President Trump has been very patient you says. This was a reaction to ongoing attacks against bases where there are u. S. Personnel. And might be if the iraqi National Security council says its going to rethink its relationship with the us led anti eisel coalition what if things go from here well thats a very serious indication indeed of full cream relations between the us and iraq which have not been too strong at all recently particularly with that power struggle going on within iraq and now there you heard from the iraqi National Security council now a Senior State Department official says that iraq had the opportunity to protect u. S. Personnel within the area as what he said were invited guests he insists that iraq has failed to do certain giving the indication that this attack was carried out because the iraqis were unable to guarantee the security of u. S. Forces who the state Department Official says were invited into iraq by the Iraqi Government but one must also note that reports from iraq indicate that the Iraqi Government was informed of the strikes short time before they happened the caretaker Prime Minister asked us not to carry out these strikes the u. S. Continued to do so so now raised into question the whole question of iraqi sovereignty there you heard from the iraqi National Security council the indication that this might have an impact on the relations of the government with that u. S. Led coalition operating in iraq mike hanna thank you very much.

Spain says it will expel 3 bolivian diplomats as part of a tit for tat move comes after bolivias interim president asked 2 new spanish diplomats and the mexican ambassador to leave the country joining aeneas has criticized mexico after it granted asylum to former bolivian president evo morales and some of his aides annulus has also accused spain of trying to help arrises allies. Dont hold an is live in mexico city whats happening right now in this diplomatic spat john. Well you just said about what spains done and they call that in a press release reaction to bolivia is sort of hostile intentions and expelling their diplomats its all a bit quieter in mexico they havent spoken about expelling any bolivian diplomats yet and that might be because president Lopez Obrador is taking a break of ois he probably would have spoken about this in his Morning Press Conference but let me tell you a bit about why all this began and its basically all revolving around the fact that there are 9 but libyans aides or allies to expresident ever morale is the hold up in the mexican.
