Military will pay the price for silly moneys death saying it marks a new phase in the history of the middle east have the latest from tehran with asad back shortly as well as reaction from washington with john hendren but 1st to some a binge of aid in baghdad so the summer that tell us more about those rocket attacks lauren in the last hour or so weve heard at least 3 explosions here close to the outskirts of the fortified green zone Iraqi Security forces saying there were 6 in number and landed in around the green zone in baghdad central area where the u. S. Embassy and other important buildings are located we were there throughout the day with the Iraqi Parliament when the proceedings were happening now this attack comes. Second night in a row where these projectiles are being fired so far we havent heard about any casualties although there are reports unconfirmed reports at the moment that some of these rockets landed in a residential area and some civilians might have been injured but this is significant because this is the 1st incident after the warning has been lied to his beloved brigades a group which said to iraqi forces and warned them to distance themselves for a 1000 meters away from any u. S. Bases or military installations in indicating that there might be attacks from sunday evening on birds and this is the 1st incident of its kind order no one has claimed responsibility so far worth noting that has been our brigade is the group which is designated as a terrorist organization which was targeted by u. S. Forces on the iraq syria border and was spearheading the protests which surrounded the u. S. Embassy an attack that last week and tell us more about that important vote in parliament. So this was essentially a mirroring of the sentiment since friday where people have been out on the streets here in baghdad calling for revenge saying this is a violation of how the u. S. Conducted an airstrike as by some silly money and other to the left the Baghdad International airport and Iraqs Parliament convened after completion of the quorum the Prime Minister said that his 1st option is that now the presence of foreign troops in iraq is no longer needed eisel has been defeated and these troops are having to protect themselves and after what has happened to us until the money and it will matter in this they will not be able to provide security to anyone else and Iraqi Security forces wont be able to protect them as well that was something that was got the support of the parliament and a nonbinding declaration was passed and in the last hour you heard from the iraqi Prime Minister saying that now the Legal Framework to make sure that this declaration is implemented is going to be set in motion it is worth noting that this is a government which is an interim government it is on its way out hes the outgoing Prime Minister also there is the whole of iraq is not standing behind this resolution we saw Kurdish Militia members of parliament not attending this session most of the sunni members of parliament were not there and weve heard protesters from bus ride to baghdad saying that they do not want any foreign presence be it american or indian and they do not want americans to leave especially in the sunni and kurdish circles american and other Coalition Troops are seen as guarantors of iraqs unity and protection against many groups which are backed militarily by iran and are seen as a threat by other communities so a bit of a thank you very much and now for more on the news on the nuclear deal i said joins us from tehran so iran has announced its 5th and final step in reducing its commitments to the nuclear deal whats the significance of that. Well the significance is that looks like the deal is pretty much dead now iran says that there are no limits to his Nuclear Activities including uranium enrichment percentage the number of centrifuges it uses the stockpile of uranium and also research and development has said that these steps are reversible but thats only if the other signatories to this agreement come back to the deal and now the United States pulled out of this deal under donald trump in 2008900 put sanctions on iran now iran has been turning to the European Countries and asking them to stick to their commitments and find a way around these sanctions so iran can trade or that its Banking Sector can operate put iran has been slowly through a phased step back reducing its commitments but now its saying that its not going to have any limits set upon it by this 2015 nuclear deal has said that it will still cooperate to the International Atomic Energy Agency but. If iran is not sticking to the deal and they consider the signature is not sticking to the deal then whats left and the important question here is has iran taken a tougher stance because of the assassination of course and for the money now the foreign minister Spokes Person around in the day said that the word would be an important meeting that the 5th phase had been discussed had been decided but had been overshadowed by the assassination and it looks like iran has taken a tougher stance on this nuclear deal because of the assassination now the European Countries will be looking to the United States in the sense of the saying that this assassination has triggered triggered the end of this deal and this will be making a lot of people in the region and around the world very nervous and we got some live pictures now of the moneys already arriving in tehran times a bit about the the mourning period in the funeral and whats going to happen. Well the body came to iran it went to the city of the holy city of mush out of hundreds of thousands of people lined the streets now the funeral will take place in iran tomorrow the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini is expected to need that and we are expecting millions from around the country to be mourning at this funeral now the feelings of the motions have been very high here in iran just remember back in november there were antigovernment protests now this government and the political establishment here has unprecedented support because of this assassination it seems to have unified the different political factions in this country from the reformists the conservatives and the hardliners everyone here is mourning and asking for revenge and. For the monies daughter has turned to the president Hassan Rouhani and the leader of lebanons his beloved rule of asking them to avenge her father now people are upset and even those that oppose the government and oppose the religious establishment have recognized the money as a patriot and someone that 4th isis and protected the iranian borders from isis so the feelings are high emotions are high and there is a call from the streets from the streets of iran asking for revenge i said take for the time being thank you very much indeed lets bring in john hendren whos in washington d. C. And john within the last hour or so the u. S. President to take to twitter as usual what he had to say. Thats right the president may speak in the next hour or so hes going to leave the mara lago golf resort where he has been staying over the holidays but meanwhile he issued this tweet threatening to strike iran if there is any retaliation saying these media posts will serve as a notification to the u. S. Congress that shooter on strike any u. S. Person or target the United States will quickly and fully strike back and perhaps in a disproportionate men or i dont think the wars power act or powers act of 1973 ever anticipated the president notifying congress of an impending military strike on another country via tweet but thats just what the president has done we also know from his secretary of state that the administration is putting out its own version of events here mike pompei was on all of the major u. S. Sunday talk shows he did not detail what the information was that the u. S. Got that the intelligence that prompted the u. S. To initiate this is as a nation however he went on to say that that information was definitely it required a military strike as a result the administration has given some of the information that the intelligence that it says prompted the strike to the u. S. Congress but it did so in an entirely classified format that means members of congress cant talk about it and democrats are not happy with what theyve seen Chuck Schumer the democratic leader of the senate said that he found that information unsatisfying and then other democrats like nancy pelosi the speaker of the house also a democrat is called the assassination provocative escalatory and disproportionate so youve got 2 different arguments here one largely from republicans saying that this strike was justified and another from democrats and others saying that this threat. To get the us into the kind of conflict that donald trump promised he would get us all out of when he was elected and john in the meantime the the u. S. Led coalition against iceland said it suspending operations so perhaps already an example of the kind of fallout from from the assassination thats right the u. S. Central command has issued a statement saying that its now going to focus not on targeting eisel but on protecting the americans at its bases this is after a number of rocket attacks that killed an American Military contractor among other things but it also means that the primary mission of the u. S. The reason the agreement between the u. S. And iraq specifically says that the u. S. Is there largely to defeat i so in that territory now we wont be performing that function and then youve got the Iraqi Parliament issuing this nonbinding vote urging urging the country to jack to the United States there so the u. S. Is not making any extra friends there john 100 thank you very much indeed lebanons has been a leader Hassan Nasrallah says responding to the death of soleimani is not only irans responsibility but the responsibility of its allies to send holder has more from beirut. His images were put up across beiruts southern suburbs. Is being mourned in hezbollah stronghold for the iranian backed group and its mainly shia are supporters the late head of the elite could this force the revolutionary guards external wing was their commander the public face symbol and architect of the islamic republics influence across the region was killed in a u. S. Drone strike in baghdad on friday since then iran and its regional allies have been promising revenge. Ill be clear there are sponsors 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. Many was not only irans concern but the entire socalled axis of resistance a term used to refer to groups in iraq syria lebanon yemen and the palestinian territories he said it was up to those groups to decide if and how they would retaliate but the hezbollah leader hinted lebanon will not necessarily be an arena. Lebanon is not a front line of americas and irans rivalry there is a us embassy in a few soldiers who trained on me by hezbollah has a presence in the region i can take part in any outside the country. It now seems clear with the retaliation may involve Iranian Military commanders made the same threat and irans allies in iraq have already singled out u. S. Bases as targets and the u. S. Presence in the region is in the words fair punishment for a lot has repeatedly threatened the regional war if iran is attacked by the United States iran will not stand alone is what hes promised it is an expected statement of support from an ally which has grown into a Regional Force photos are emerging of many who the hezbollah leader called a brother he confirmed the late military commander was. In lebanon before heading to baghdad via damascus while hezbollah doesnt hide its links with iran it is the strongest political player in lebanon its careful to protect that power at a time of increasing pressure is the condition for success for retaliation out of there because of the Economic Situation because there are not cannot sustain what sort of are. Likeable to 2006. Assassination a turning point and a new phase the message here may be one of defiance but in reality the u. S. Maximum Pressure Campaign on iran and its allies seems to be already in a new phase. The route. Joining me live is a Research Fellow at the london think tank Chatham House thanks very much for being with us so weve heard weve seen some of the responses already in iraq and rockets fired and so on but what about iran itself do you expect them to target u. S. Military installations and so what kind of targets you think will go full well i mean from what theyre saying from one of the Senior Iranian leadership are saying is that theyre looking for retaliation equal to that of the killing of us liam and its us nation as they see it and if that is the case then they would need to i mean he was the 2nd most powerful man in iran and you know military general in the region so there would need to be a military response do you expect that to be directly from the iranians or broke through their proxies so until now the iranian model is to use proxies iran i mean this is something that their money and others help built this idea to create the selfsustaining proxies around the region that can do your work for you but as an ally and so its hard to tell i mean the response will be multi if you know there will be a types of Cyber Attacks perhaps military attacks at the moment were all weve seen is that it will be through the proxies whether iran goes towards the conventional kind of warfare i dont. Inside iran if that would be sort of needed if that would be wanted and also keep in mind that iran is overstretched i mean iran has because of consonance their money. As a war theater in lebanon syria yemen iraq and there is a sort of a school of thought that would say that iran might not be able to do that right now so on that basis who will be making that the decision to the top new leadership of the it could create what was the kind of dissonance its interesting because the other day after after this attack there was the Iranian Security council and you know the Supreme Leader hamann a joint and people are saying this is quite rare that hes joining so it seems like the response they sort of orchestration of how to retaliate in the different theaters is coming straight from the top and we had a tweet this evening from President Trump saying that hes he would have United States will quickly strike back quote perhaps in a disproportionate manner if iran strikes any American Fashion or target so the expectation is that this isnt this isnt ratcheting down which will remember his intent in terms of rhetoric yeah and youve seen his mixed messages you know trump president secretary pump air have said this is not us collation we are now deescalating but at the same time the rhetoric is still up there its this maximum Pressure Type of language that theyre still using and so if u. S. Bases are attacked u. S. Have bases in iraq and elsewhere in the region if u. S. Sort of personnel u. S. Citizens are attacked they will respond and thats the risk and just an issue of iraq i mean the vote in parliament clearly its nonbinding and what do you expect in the end you think that the u. S. Troops will be pushed out and in that case does is this a miscalculation by the transition to done this because it would in effect mean that irans influence in iraq gets stronger rather than weaker yeah and i would say the biggest outcome so far of this attack has been this growing anti american ism in iraq. Also as part of the iraqi political establishment. So there was always a group of iraqi politicians who wanted the u. S. Out but there was a bigger group that said its not a good idea a
