With all the baseball its over and for the reigning super bowl champions as the new England Patriots lose in the playoffs. Thank you very much for joining us its been a day of fast moving developments in the middle east says the u. S. Assassination of Senior Iranian commander kasim cinnamon he causes major reverberations iraqs spawn amende has passed a resolution urging the government to expel all for. Foreign troops from the country but influential shia politician says that doesnt go far enough he wants security agreements with the u. S. To be cancelled and its embassy to be shut caretaker Prime Minister ayad abdul mahdi address on it. The logic. No foreign troops are to do military actions in iraq 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 meanwhile in lebanon hezbollahs leader Hassan Nasrallah is warning the u. S. Army will pay the price for killing silliman e his warn that u. S. Troops military bases and ships in the region will be targeted and hundreds of thousands of people have been flooding the streets across iran to walk alongside the casket carrying ceremonies remains his body will be taken to his hometown of care mon for burial on tuesday while we have 3 reporters standing by to cover all angles of this story. Is in washington d. C. June is in the lebanese capital beirut we begin in baghdad where we have osama been javid osama the last 3 hours have been extraordinary in the Iraqi Parliament vote to expel foreign troops from iraq tell us about the reactions. Well folly the parliament has he did the call by its Prime Ministers saying that it is time for them to review and send the troops that are on the rocky soil back to their homes this is a resolution that was passed by a predominantly the shia majority of the parliament it is interesting that now that they have asked the foreign troops to leave the country it is in the governments court now to decide what it wants to do with this decision because it is not legally binding and the Parliament Session was boycotted by most of the sunni m. P. s as well as kurdish members of parliament it is something that not every iraqi stands behind but it is. A nation has rallied all of the political factions saying that there needs to be a review of how the u. S. Behaves in iraq and whether all of these forces should go home as a reaction we heard from one of the leaders of the leading blocs here in iraq saying that he thinks this reaction by the parliament is weak hes been calling for a formulation of battalions and legions to get ready for what is to come is asking for the u. S. Embassy to be shut down and that seems to be resonating amongst many of the supporters of iran by groups including those belonging to the Popular Mobilization forces or hush to xabi and that again is something that weve seen play out in the last 48 hours but weve also seen opposition to such statements opposition to the complete withdrawal of u. S. Troops from iraq because many dont completely trust all of the forces in iraq to provide them security or cover when they are or many of them are backed by iran. And weve seen over the last few months in iraq. Have you know not Just Announced the present self foreign troops of u. S. Troops but also of influence from iran what whats likely to be the reaction from the streets and as you say is iraq in a position todays defend its sovereignty if these foreign troops were to leave. But you have to remember that it was only 2014 when a few 1000 fighters came in and took iraqs 2nd largest city now Iraqi Forces Say theyre battle hardened there theyre much more prepared and they can defeat any threats such as eisel but that is something which has been coming up from various political circles especially the sunnis in northern parts of iraq saying and the kurds as well saying that if the u. S. Coalition leaves if the iraqi forces lose all of that cover that is provided by the coalition would they be able to defend themselves and that is something that the Iraqi Government will have to grapple with as it forward its a proper strategy to deal with this situation and then like you said the Iraqi Government is also enter into enormous pressure from the streets here in baghdad and other cities as well where they many of these protesters have been calling on iranian influence to be removed from iraqi politics many protesters into how do you square who you saw celebrating after us until a money of death have been saying that it is iranian meddling which is the cause of many of the problems here and there also it is a divisive issue it is going to be a difficult one for this interim government to take on because as you remember this is a government which is waiting for a proper government after it was forced to resign after months of protest here in iraq thank you for that osama bin javid in baghdad lets get the reaction now from washington d. C. Patty call heinous there for us patty again an important vote in the Iraqi Parliament to expound foreign troops including u. S. Troops what have been the reaction so far in washington. So far very little reaction but i should put it in context is that most of the important players are simply not in town the president is in florida when hes at his golf course we can assume hes possibly golfing so keep an eye on twitter in the next couple of minutes because its about 3 hours and so he might take to twitter in a minute we did hear from the secretary of state mike pompei oh he did several interviews and he sort of brushed it off because the vote was happening at the time so he said look we dont know whats going to happen but this Prime Minister is leaving office hes facing a lot of pressure from iran insisting the average iraqis wanted the americans to stay so this is going to come down to how the president frames that hes talking to 2 very different audiences so one of the things hes likely to do when it comes to his base is hes going to say this is a strategic defeat as he said before he pulled troops out of syria he says that isis been defeated even though his own pentagon says it has not but hes going to say for likely cast this as well i told you i was going to bring the troops home from overseas or spend that money here at home so this is a good thing the 2nd audience that has much more sway over his immediate fate is the members of the u. S. Senate this is not going to sit well with democrats or republicans alike they believe that the defeat of eisel is still very much an ongoing fight and it needs to be a priority so well have to wait and see exactly when theyre all back in town tomorrow how they phrase this but it is going to raise a lot of concern among the power brokers here in washington thank you patty for that patty kahane in washington d. C. Now over in lebanon meanwhile as well as leader Hassan Nasrallah said the killing of iranian Major General has some sort of money box a new face in the history of the middle east and is in beirut for his talk a so have his message mohamed they were a direct threat to the u. S. Thats right funny mr nasr began his remarks by saying that the killing of him so the money marked the beginning of a new era across the entire region he also said that what the u. S. Had done by killing him so that money was starting a new war of a different type he called the killing of qassam so they mani an open and brazen crime and laid blame for the killing of innocent money squarely at the feet of u. S. President donald trump he then went through a long list of what he called the failings of donald trump since he became president of the United States in 2016 and he was talking about what he considered to be mr trumps failings across this region and now then it was when mr wade into the main theme of his speech which was saying that the u. S. Military and all its assets in this region were now going to be targeted that they were now a target for retaliation and lets take a listen to a bit more of what mission a satellite had to say specifically on that point b. Sheffield was ill be clear their response is to target them merican military presence in the region now American Military bases their vessels and every american officer and soldier in our region and our countries on our soul the American Army is the one who killed these people and theyre the ones who will be paying the price. Follett mr nasr then went on to draw a clear distinction in saying that United States citizens that american citizens in this region should not be targeted that that would be the wrong thing to do and that if they were targeted or harmed they would only play into the hands of u. S. President donald trump i should mention one more thing fully is that mr nasr there really surprised a lot of people who were expecting him to speak quite a bit more about what role precisely lebannon may play in any type of retaliatory action and he really did not do that and that was a surprise because since the killing of thousands of the money many people here have been quite concerned about what it would mean for the formation of a government this country is without a government at this time what it would mean when it comes to perhaps for long in the economic crisis here this is a country thats on the verge of bankruptcy and many lebanese are quite concerned about what hizbullah may do next they dont want to see lebanon dragged into another war they want to see a government here focusing on the needs of the lebanese people so the fact that mr nasr lead did not specifically mention what retaliatory steps lebannon may actually take left a lot of people here quite surprised but some of them relieved because of the omission folly thank you very much for that Mohammed John john reporting live from beirut. Take a look at the Bigger Picture now and for more analysis bring in. Senior political analysts here in the studio with us some very big and important developments of the last hour starting with the one in iraq upon him and voting to expel foreign troops including american troops but already there are divisions in iraq whats the way forward for the government one of the options right now because the ball is clearly now in macau after this absolutely and you know regardless of that the comic out of there is whether its a law its the beginning of basic law if its implementable not enforceable or not and how and when in terms of the government implementing it or whether the United States will actually abide by it all of us inside the time is shifting in iraq in favor of iran against the United States at least in terms of the Iraqi Parliament their rocky start. The general sense is you cannot depend on the americans anymore we thought that they got to come and defend us and they might have done in the past against the actions of so forth by the looks like at this point in time we are the ones that have to defend them because of their continue its continuous follies and and so on so forth in the country but be that as it may i think this might actually fall in trumps lap in the sense that he campaigned on and he presided on the idea that america has launched all these wars that it cannot and its time to bring the troops home as it were and hence perhaps the American Forces need to redeploy out of the hotspots of the middle east into more safe zones in order to act more freely against americas i guess theyre not going to just pack up and levi they i mean even if thats what the iraqis want theyre there ready 3500 troops coming into the region absolutely no how will they be used for anything redeploy to what interest i mean in what would be the objective look i mean if you look you know if we just kind of look back and open the the zoom a bit wider and look at whats happening in terms of Historic Context what we have now are the 2 forces of the cult of war on the one on the one side and the cult of death on the other side you know confronting in the middle east with iran saying the blood will win over the sword and the United States saying the same the United States is already involved in a war in afghanistan is saying look you know we will start attacking we will attack heavily we would attack big glee if you dare confront us what attack us anyway so the same the United States that is more than ready and even trigger happy at times to go to war against a force in the region iran and its allies that keep celebrating death and thats what we heard from his honest. You know today the more we die the stronger we become so you have this cult of death against the cost of war gathering momentum in the region and that does not bode well and hence if the americans think of redeploying out of the hotspots into what ever safe zones they might have in order to act d they will have this in mind meaning their region is in tora morio and whatever they do whether they stay and increase the forces or they leave trouble is going to follow them speaking of trouble over the last few days since the assassination of presence in the money the talk has been iran will retaliate they would have to take action debbie Something Big coming from iran what is likely to be in response to the regime seems to have been emboldened in a way you know weve seen hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of tehran and other cities welcoming home the body of customs and the money. The regime in a way has to respond doesnt it absolutely but how and when will it respond i think its going to respond on 3 levels level number one is domestically and thats happening already populist nationalist even religious. A pivotal if you will coalescing around the regime the regime strengthening its base. Certainly drowning whatever opposition it has or had and trying to gather as much. Support and lets all remember there are elections coming up in iran and certainly if you just judge from whats happening today is that the conservative more radical wing in iran will be winning big time in that country then again cousins the money was no angel i mean he he wasnt exactly. Even among iranians the he was you know he wasnt seen as absolutely right he was the cut he was the shadow commander who is responsible for the death of so many in syria and iraq and so on so forth but he was not a renegade terrorist like say a bucket about that the he was a general acting at the service desire of support the Supreme Leader ali khamenei he was a general in the regime and that regime has always built its popularity against the big satan the United States of america and in that sense present from peres just giving them a Big Group Big gift to buy the killing of city money that allow them now to. You know incites if you will against the United States drowning whatever opposition there but on the 2nd level it is the level of working with their allies in iraq in syria and lebanon and yemen other places again to incite for the possibility of confronting american interests or american our allies in the nation that is their 2nd possibility is the 3rd possibility which i think is is the least. Possible probable at this point in time is an all out war simply because the iranians have learned the lessons from iraq when it went up against the nazis 2003 and it ended up with the destruction of the regime and the country and its occupation iran of course is bigger than iraq its stronger than iraq but it will probably face the same fate why because the. Might of the United States is not something to reckon with in the end of the in the end of the day in fact america doesnt need a lot of soldiers to win a war against iran with enough drones enough tomahawk missiles enough air force and so on so forth it will be able to destroy much much of the country in fact so the an all out war i think is not a scenario but we could enter into a Mission Creep in the rhetoric and reality that will escalate a need which could be a lot more drawn to and that could have serious consequences absolutely and that could not be contained anywhere in the sense that if that said the United States does attack those 52. 00. Targets iran is not simply going to go to the United NationsSecurity Council complain its going to start attacking right left and center and its allies will start attacking letters that will start in the gulf that will start chipping that will start with all all possible areas including all american interests and diplomatic. Rows and so so forth in the region and beyond and hence we enter into a new logic whereby if the force and the 3rd is theres a war the United States would be forced to use even more force why because when maximum pressure through economic sanctions did not work the units assisted not then rely on diplomacy it relied on force and thats been the logic Mission Creep when force doesnt work you would deploy more force that is an unfortunate thing for everyone involved indeed thank you very much my one for that bashara senior political analyst here. I plenty more ahead on this on jazeera news hour including indon
