S. Embassy in iraq the pentagon says President Donald Trump ordered the attack to protect u. S. Personnel abroad well the u. S. Embassy in baghdad has now urged all americans to leave iraq immediately irans Supreme Leader has called for 3 days. National mourning ayatollah ali how many warned of harsher vengeance said the attack would double sounds result to resist the United States and iraqs Prime Minister says the strike will spark a devastating war and called lebanons lebanon rather has called for the country on the wider region to be spared any repercussions what will speak to our correspondents in the middle east as well as the us but 1st this report from the same bus ravi and on i go hard to break in the upper ranks of the Iranian Military at the official announcement of the death of Major General customs to the money the commander of irans could force the revolutionary guard unit responsible for foreign operations so the money was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in but dug. And anger at friday prayers in the iranian capital for the assassination of a man who led the charge against eisel in iraq and syria and whose death seems likely to lead to more conflict. Back to shake a man god willing it is now time to clear and cleanse the region of these devils it is now time to show the resistance to the americans and show our resistance with action to tell those yankees to get out of here get lost. In the early hours of friday morning shortly after arriving in Baghdad International airport u. S. Missiles killed so the money and his close ally of the old 100 s. Other members of the group were also killed in the attack a drone strike hit their convoy as they left the airport. For irans Supreme Leader ayatollah ali come in a slow money was a trusted confidant a member of his inner circle his killing in a targeted attack the most extreme escalation in tensions between tehran and washington in recent years how many warned there will be revenge. The cruelest people on earth assassinated the honorable commander who courageously fought for years against the evils and bandis of the world sulaimani is martyrdom will make iran more decisive to resist americas expansionism and to defend our islam values with no doubt iran and other freedom seeking countries in the region will take his revenge into her own Senior Leaders met in an emergency meeting of Irans National Security council many iranians see the u. S. Attack as an act of war across the region there will be implications anywhere where there is an American Military presence. American should should leave those countries immediately but if i was in the emirates i would leave now if i was an american in iraq i would leave now if i was an american any part in southwest asia i would leave immediately. The United Nations high commissioner for human rights described the killings as a likely violation of International Law the idea that iran is not going to respond is Wishful Thinking that will make the debacle of of invading iraq look like a walk in the park i do not think that President Trump really understands why hes gotten the United States into going up against iran i would argue that going to war with iran will be the most significant adversary that the United States has encountered since world war 2 u. S. Secretary of state michael impale tweeted a video showing iraqis celebrating the attack feared by his enemies inside iran so the money has for years been one of the most Popular National figures in the country the International Face of Iranian Resistance to american pressure he remained largely untouched by the waning popularity in recent years of the countrys government over economic issues. While there is talk of revenge many iranians dont want to see a war but. Im going to tell you mr trump unfortunately acted decisively saying that we wont go for war but push the issue toward the leaders must exercise restraint so that the tension in the region wouldnt increase further because this can have very serious consequences for the countries in the region their own. It will definitely increase violence but i fundamentally disagree with violence and conflict i believe people moving toward peace in negotiation to stick goals is much better. Only to call. The. Iranians looked on as someone who could protect them cut down at the height of his popularity by a u. S. Strike his death marks the lowest point in iran u. S. Relations in decades. Well we have correspondents covering this story from across the region and from the u. S. Store so the jabari is standing by in seron but 1st lets head to baghdads and some been. Some again just give us a sense of the Iraqi Governments reaction so money was it divisive figure in iraq what are the answer government protesters saying about this. Well hala as you said he was a divisive figure in iraq which is again inherently divided along sectarian and religious lines as well as tribal fronts so money was somebody whose death was celebrated into areas square in the early hours of the morning crowds who had been gathered there for months now and have forced Iraqi Government into becoming a. Government in waiting rather which is a government which has to be replaced by a proper government it is a government which it does not even have the power to approve the budget so it is being celebrated here in baghdad as well as being mourned to be heard. His death uniting the political spectrum in condemnation all political figures saying that calling this attack a flagrant violation of iraqi sovereignty saying that they will be to tally and telling their followers telling the various militias that they control telling fighters to stay put to exercise restraint and not take any matters into their own hands it is happening just 48 hours after those dramatic scenes out side of the u. S. Embassy in baghdad where members of the Popular Mobilization forces entered the exterior wall of the compound and laid siege to it so the money was a divisive figure here depending on which side you stand with which political view do you adhere to of many of the protesters accuse iran and their indirectly silly money for carrying out the killings in baghdad which resulted in the death of neary 500. 00 protesters as they demanded more Political Freedom more an end to corruption and more accountability for the political elite but it is the goal it goes beyond the region beyond iraq as well into the wider region silliman he was somebody who divided not just opinions in iraq but also in neighboring syria as well. He was instrumental in putting together the grass roots Roots Movement off various militia fighters turning them into a potent force which did or not only defeated eisel but what also stood against the the sunni villages the sunni fighting factions as well and has been credited for resurrecting the government of president Bashar Al Assad so yes a divisive figure but certainly if death has united iraqis in saying that this is an act which is against iraqi sovereignty in the United States does not have the right to do so in their country ok a summer binge of aids thank you very much indeed some of the brain has the update from iraq lets head to iran and speak with aljazeera as dorsett jabari also give us a sense of the reaction in iran right now just a popular walsall the money. Well he was one of the most popular among figures in the Islamic Republic despite peoples backgrounds or political leanings or whether or not they came from a religious upbringing or a certain societal class it did not matter the name us initially money was synonymous with a figure that was very nationalistic who was responsible for the security and stability of iran and many here believe that he was the reason why i still did not set foot inside iran he was tasked with securing irans borders with the police force of the revolutionary guards there are many many stories that circulate about the type of man he was he was very quiet and reserved he did not like a lot of attention he did not give any interviews during his entire career in their evolution regards the only interview he gave us in october of last year to talk about on the anniversary of the hezbollah war with israel and there are stories about him during the war time in between iran and iraq in the 1980 s. There are is a very famous story about how he was shot in the abdomen while he was fighting in the battlefield and he was taken to a hospital and he was operated on and before he was even allowed to leave he just discharged himself and went back into battle there is a lot of stories around that his bravery his commitment to the Islamic Revolution his cause and also we know that he was a very close friend and confidant of the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei just last year the Supreme Leader awarded him with the highest military ranking in the Islamic Republic for his service and dedication to the country so this death is being a very emotionally felt in iran many people we spoke to today say that they are still in shock people have been crying upon hearing the news this is all have to has to do with this cult status thats come about. Around the named awesome cell in miami because he was so private and close if he was always there were stories circulating about his time in syria on the battlefields in iraq his bravery in his fighting against i saw this was the image that was portrayed in iran and this was the image that iranians are familiar with when the name us until the money is uttered and so this attack the way he was killed outside of the battlefield without a uniform on is something iranians are now considering and at the ultimate insult at all levels of government have said that there will be revenge even dos until the money may be dead but the silly money in all arenas will live on that is according to the friday Prayer Service leader that the ideologies that he represents will live on in the iran in iranian nation really. Looking ahead. Do we know who is taking over from Major General custom so what more can you tell us about the. Yes the Deputy Commander of the courts force has been appointed by the Supreme Leader to take over this Brigadier General has been in that position since 1970 we dont know much about him but we do know that he was very close to us in chile money they travel together very often around the middle east but other than that there is very little known about him this is the general feeling of the revolutionary guard commanders as a whole as a policy theyre very very reclusive theyre not very open about the high ranking figures that are active within the ranks of the revolutionary guard especially the courts force who are tasked with Clandestine Operations outside the country so we are waiting to find out what iran will do in response but for the time being there has been an appointment the Deputy Commander has moved up to replace awesome so the money and the Supreme Leader in his order said that the policies the methods and the ideologies of us until the money and the force force will not change whatsoever they will continue on the same path as before and this will just move forward but that his death will certainly be avenged ok dosage of barbering is up to date from tehran thank you very much indeed most of them on his assassination has worsened the crisis between iran and the United States has raised concerns about the retaliation from iran as lengthly to follow President Donald Trump tweeted about the just over 2 hours ago the us president has been tweeting again he said general custom solar money has killed or badly wounds its size of americans over an extended period of time and was plotting to kill many more colds he was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people including the recent large number of protesters killed in iran itself. Now speaking to u. S. Media secretary of state might pay you said the strike was justified and legal under u. S. Law he said it prevented solem money from launching an imminent attack and says the killing saved us lives and that the risk of doing nothing was enormous and do our best to release everything that we know thats appropriate that we can that doesnt put anyone at risk what will do our best we want the world to understand that there was in fact an imminent attack taking place the American People should know that this was an intelligent telegin space and the traverse that weve got correspondents across the u. S. Covering the reaction there to this attack how the job castro is standing by for us on capitol hill 1st though lets go to the gallacher who is in palm beach florida thats near president trance mara lago resorts and he just talk us through some of that initial reaction from president on trial. Well we havent heard any public statements nor are we are expecting any were told he wont speak publicly for at least the next 3 to 4 hours you read his latest tweets which ended somebody should have taken him out years ago thats all weve heard from President Donald Trump at the moment but this afternoon in miami he will address a group of evangelicals they are hard core Trump Supporters that was a pretty shy jools event that he hasnt changed so perhaps well have to wait until he gets to that event to hear him publicly talking about this latest military operation this drone strike but one of the interesting reports were hearing here is that senator Lindsey Graham is a very close confidant of the president was actually playing golf with then over the last few days was seen very closely talking to the president so were not sure what Lindsey Grahams role in all this is whether he was advising the president to go ahead with this operation or not clearly theres going to be some political fallout it because youve got people like Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that the correct procedure wasnt carried out that the house wasnt informed but as i said were not going to directly here from president shop here at mar a lago but we will expect to hear from him perhaps talking about this operation when he does go to miami later on today to address those evangelicals evangelicals of course are part of his core base although hes had some trouble with them recently with editorials from various evangelical newspapers criticizing his moral conduct but on the whole this will be seen as very much an echo chamber for the president evangelicals will back the president for the most part i think so those are the 1st words i think we are expecting to hear about what happened in baghdad over the last few hours and that will be watched very closely indeed i think alec are there live for us in palm beach thank you very much indeed lets cross to heidi to accounts true and i live on capitol hill today we heard that the president had been playing. A few rounds of golf with Lindsey Graham still waiting to hear what. Will turn up but i was congress been reacting to this news this significance and consequential action that has been taken in iraq. Well certainly there is tension here in the halls of congress theres an acknowledgment that the next few hours and days will be critical as the u. S. Sees how iran responds to the military strike but as far as the Congress People themselves well there is again the Stark Division that weve seen time and time it can come out in stark relief here with democrats concerned about the legality and the fallout from this military strike and republicans applauding congratulating the president for his efforts we saw us house Speaker Nancy Pelosi saying that congress was not consulted prior to trump taking this military action in iraq she also issued a statement yesterday warning against disproportionate and provocative actions weve had other democrats say that without having consulted congress that this military strike may have been illegal and then you have the republicans who have been lining up one after the other to offer that congratulations to President Trump as andy said he was seen at his florida resort with some of his Top Republican allies which include senator Lind
