Thank you for joining as the u. S. Assassination of Senior Iranian commander kasim cinema any is causing major reverberations across the region with every passing hour iraqs thought a moment has just passed a resolution telling the government to expel foreign troops early a rock scare take a Prime Minister action from parliament no no you do the allergic be. No foreign troops are to do military actions in iraq eisel has been defeated and now the government of iraq must make a timetable to schedule the withdrawal of foreign troops for the sake of our National Sovereignty as iraqi Prime Minister was speaking in baghdad in lebanon scampered obey route has the as leader was warning that the us military across the middle east is now a fair target for retaliation. Also said President Donald Trump committed a crime by assassinating cinema. And. Many are debating how the just punishment should be how can we avenge for the death of sulaimani and one is should we talk at a big figure as important as silly money like to us shiva staff the secretary of defense theres nobody as important as solo money and im 100 his shoe alone is worth trump and his tire capital. Field will all be clear their response is to target their merican military presence in the region their American Military bases their vessels every american officer and soldier in our region and our countries on our soul their merican army is the one who killed these people and theyre the ones who will be paying the price and in iran hundreds of thousands of mourners have gathered to wall come home the body of carson some imani his body is now in the city of mashad early a procession in a wise lets begin our coverage in baghdad where osama bin job it is standing by the iraqi Prime Minister taking a key aside osama he says has been a loss of trust between iraq and the u. S. And wants a withdrawal of foreign troops talk us through whats happened just a few minutes ago 1st in iraq apartments. Quickly now the emergency session of the parliament which was convened after the assassination of qassam silly money i will made the in one this and other leaders off the Popular Mobilization forces have ended it ended with a joint resolution saying that the assistance that the iraqis had required from the United States should and were waiting to hear because there is a News Conference that is currently underway at the parliament where details of this resolution are being laid out but it was a day where we saw parliamentarians coming in 1st holding a vigil sitting down in silence for the money and the rest of the people were killed and then fiery speeches from various lawmakers on the floor of the house as well as be even before the parliament can mean saying that this is a flagrant violation of iraqi sovereignty this is this cannot be allowed to happen in iraq the soil in iraq is not subservient to the United States and so on and so forth early in the day there wasnt enough corum interesting enough for the parliament to convene it was delayed by a few hours and then when it finally convened it was boycotted by most of the sunni members of parliament as well as kurds so it goes to show that there is this is not something that iraq you know mostly stands behind but it is what a majority of the law because freshly the shia not me because what is so are again the Iraqi Parliament voting to end the presence of foreign troops including u. S. Troops what consequences osama and what happens next. But it is going to be now that this decision has been taken by the parliament it is now going to be incumbent on the government to take this advice of the parliament and not you have to emphasize here that it has not annoyed is not legally binding for the government to take this decision it is an interim government government and the iraqi Prime Minister did say that he wants a new government to be formed as soon as possible so it can take these decisions with the support of the people behind it and that is something which has taken months now iraq is under an interim government so even if they did decide now that they want to say goodbye to American Forces tomorrow according to this special Framework Agreement they will need to give the United States at least a year before it completely concludes its mission and picks up everything that it has stablished over the so it is going not going to be a very quick process but it looks like that the process to begin the draw of u. S. Forces is certainly in motion at the Iraqi Parliament that is something what many people wanted on the streets and m. P. s have been saying that this could give our sense of the money the victory that he wanted in death to expel americans from iraq is for thank you for that osama bin javid live for us in baghdad less novel to the lebanese capital beirut bombing jam june is therefore as we heard as well as leader has son speaker earlier reacting to the death of custom selim mani talkers saw his message and we heard a threat from hezbollah to the americans. Thats right fully i mean the headline would have to be that has the north of allah had reiterated that all American Military assets across this region are now in danger that they are now targets this was a point that he made several times throughout his speech but he did draw an important distinction mr nasrallah went on to say i want to be very clear we do not mean american citizens or nationals there are Many Americans in our region we dont mean to attack them and it is wrong to harm them attacking us civilians anywhere serves trumps interests he also went on to say the americans will withdraw from our region humiliated in disgrace and he also believes he also went on to say the minute americans start seeing their sons in coffins the americans and President Trump will know they lost the war in the region i think one of the more fascinating and telling things about the speech by mr nasrallah which lasted well over an hour is the fact that he continued to speak about it up that really seemed to be one of the main themes when it came to his remarks and many of his remarks lined up quite a bit with what Prime Minister caretaker Prime Minister ive got in mind the was telling parliament his speech was happening at the same time as mr nasr you had both leaders of both of these men urging. The u. S. To withdraw from iraq and this really seemed to suggest a very coordinated effort from iran for perhaps both of these men to be relaying this same type of message. At the moment in lebanon you have another crisis going on its unclear how much exactly has both one sarette up tensions because hezbollah is is is involved in trying to form a government here this is a country thats on the verge of bankruptcy this is a country that has not had a government for quite a while now. And this is a very important time in lebanon where the Prime Minister designate is trying to put together a cabinet and he cannot do so unless he has his butler as a support as well because they are part of the Major Political bloc here so this speech by house and yes it did threaten americans but it did not go into details to civically about how exactly lebanon would play a role in the retaliation and because of that it focused much more on iraqs role in expelling american i was going to ask mohamed what what was unlikely heard of hezbollah retaliate for iran. Well thats the big question we had expected to hear much more specificity from mr nasr about what exactly might be happening in lebanon thats what a lot of analysts believe we might be hearing today many of the lebanese the last few days they have been worried that because of what happened to them so they money and because of iran strong ties and backing of hezbollah that perhaps retaliation could be seen against americans in lebanon that perhaps violence could be revisited upon lebanon and thats not something people want to see happen here but also you have to realize that hezbollah is a bit boxed in right now because of all the politics going on right now because of the fragile economy and hizbollah cannot really risk at this particular moment getting into a wider regional or International Conflict at least thats the conventional wisdom so many people here at this hour believe that is why mr nasr perhaps did not focus so much on what lebanon specific role might be in retaliation spoke more about the region spoke more about it off and iran and specifically spoke about the fact that it would not be u. S. Civilians targeted but it would be u. S. Military assets targeted Going Forward thank you for that mommy for a sane a vote. Now in an interview with a Hezbollah Television channel customs in amman his daughter said she has no doubt theyll be a retaliation for her fathers death. Before anything id like to send my greetings to the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei and also to the leader of the resistance uncle Hasan Nasrallah whom i know for sure will avenge my fathers blood the entire. Assassination will not break us and america must know that his blood is so precious and we heard earlier from a spokesman for Irans Foreign Ministry he says iran isnt pursuing war but is prepared for anything. The Islamic Republic of iran is not pursuing war but weve made it very clear that were ready for any kind of situation in the past decades the iranian nation has always been ready to defend itself the decision will always be made by the leadership and they will prepare their responses as to how its retaliate in the beast way in the meantime this is trying to avoid war. Now u. S. President donald trump has threatened to hit dozens of targets inside iran if it takes any retaliatory action in a series of tweets tom said iran would be hit quote very fast and very hard if attacks were launched against any americans or u. S. Assets irans foreign minister has responded saying targeting cultural sites would be a war crime. Is live for us in washington d. C. Patty lets start 1st with this iraq he votes in parliament calling for an end to u. S. Troops in the presence of foreign troops including u. S. Troops whats the reaction likely to be from washington. Well secretary of state might pompei has been making the rounds of the sunday political talk shows and he was pressed on that by several different of the anchors the host and he said well we hope that doesnt happen well deal with it if it does because this was all happening as the vote was taking place but he said that he believed the iraqi people really wanted the americans there this is going to go down in 2 separate ways the president s going to be talking to 2 very different audiences if in fact u. S. Troops are told to leave iraq immediately 1st its going to be his core base he will probably do what he tends to do in these situations is not say that this is a strategic setback for the United States in its fight against eisel but hell say look i promised to get u. S. Troops out of the middle east and here theyre coming home the other audience that he really has to be concerned about at this point are members of the u. S. Senate lets put this in the broader context this is a president facing impeachment hes already been impeached by the house of representatives we are probably just weeks away possibly from an impeachment trial in the senate u. S. Senators are going to realize the gravity of what this will do to the u. S. Effort to fight the Islamic State of iraq in the law but that is not going to go over well but at the same time there is growing concern in the senate in the house that the president is literally bringing the country to the brink of war with iran so that could also factor into the whole impeachment discussion in a way that perhaps the president doesnt want to do how do you present trump on saturday threatened to hit 52 iranian sides very hot and very fast he said if iran retaliate if and at the same time the u. S. Administration says it wants to negotiate and doesnt want regime change in iran you wonder what is a strategy the trump administrations strategy here. Well its secretary pumpin these shows that he was talking about he actually said that if any american facilities or personnel are hit that the u. S. Will respond by target in the arena and personnel that planned the attack so do theyre upping the threat even though theyre saying that they want to deescalate the situation right now the president that tweet talking about 52. 00 hits for the different all of the americans that were held hostage for decades and decades ago thats getting a reaction especially from democrats who agree with the Iranian Foreign minister and theyre calling that a potential war crime there has of course been discussion the u. S. Military does have to follow the orders of the commander in chief but in the military code if they feel any commander in order is unlawful it is their duty they are told to not carry it out so this could be just more bluster from President Donald Trump but there is growing concern especially among democrats that the intelligence that the white house is giving them just doesnt add up to basically what happened here an assassination of a foreign leader that the country is not technically at war with were going to see movement this week the house the senate we expect that theyre going to get full classified Intelligence Briefings if even some republicans start to come out and say theres not enough there there to take this dramatic of a step you could see movement on legislation because although u. S. President s of recent times they just take military action and they dont really consult with congress technically in the Constitution Congress has to declare war weve seen a democratic senator say used to try and put a resolution on the floor that says specifically the u. S. Cannot go to war with iraq now whether the Republican Leadership will actually let that on the floor remains to be seen but this is going to be a critical week because in this system its supposed to be equal branches of government so well see if Congress Wants to assert themselves and be a check on this president where they really havent for the last couple of decades when it comes to president s and Armed Conflicts betty weve heard the political reactions from the democrats to republicans but what about the wider American Public how much wary how much concern is saying that they could be a conflict with iraq. Well and this is the problem for this president he was elected in large part because hed said hes going to stop these wars hes going to spend that money here at home his base does not want him to see a conflict another conflict in the middle east that said these things can quickly escalate when you start doing tit for tat strikes i cant say that theres been a whole lot of polling a lot of that has to do with the calendar it is the weekend here all of this was happening over the Christmas Holiday and this tends to be a time if theres a 2 week period in time when americans tend to turn off the t. V. And stop reading the newspaper its right now so when Congress Comes back from their christmas break expect that were going to have a lot more talk about it theres going to be a lot more people tuning in then theyre going to start to see the American Public opinion polls in general though not about this specific issue the vast majority of the American Public in previous polls before this abscess said they have no desire to see other conflict in the middle east. Thank you for that political headline for us in washington d. C. Nets just remind you of president on this warning to iran threatening to hit dozens of targets inside the Islamic Republic if it retaliate for. Steph the u. S. President fired off a series of tweets saying iran is talking very boldly about targeting certain u. S. Assets as we venture are ridding the world of their terrorist leader let this serve as a warning he says that if iran strikes any americans or American Assets we have targeted 52. 00 iranian sites and those targets any iran itself will be hit very fast and very hard the u. S. Say it wants no more threats or less bring in our senior political analyst. Who is here in the studio with us shall we start with whats happening in Iraqi Parliament 1st and that votes in that emergency session calling for an end to the presence of foreign troops including u. S. Troops in iraq its not a done deal yet of course but whats the significance of it and what will be the consequences of u. S. Troops leaving iraq today. I think is the most important question of the day. The tone of the day was was set up for us twice today
