S. Strike in iraq on friday he laid to rest in his own town but in response to the killing Irans Parliament has designated the u. S.

Dont mean you dont the iranian nation and Freedom Fighters are mourning this great loss the United States by assassinating a Senior Iranian general i started a new chapter that will cause them problems the beginning of the end of americas presence in the region has started they do not respect International Law they are attacking iranian history which is a shared heritage to the whole world. Well hours earlier the u. S. Secretary of defense was forced to clarify it was not pulling troops out of iraq thats not the leak of a draft letter from a general outlining his drool plans the pentagon said it was circulated a mistake well well be speaking to Gabriel Elizondo about the u. S. Troops in iraq in a moment but 1st lets go live to our said big in tehran said so thousands of iranians have turned out in sort of hometown to pay their final respects tell us whats been happening in the feeling right now across the country well today is the 3rd and final day of mourning because some so the monies body set to be buried in kind of mine in his home city that was his request to be buried in the graveyard alongside those people that died fighting during the iran iraq war and yesterday was the funeral here in iran where the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini led those female prison he saw the streets filled with people but emotions are still high this image is of course some of the money across the country on billboards over highways and even on the screens of a. T. M. Some of those show him in his military fatigues others show him being embrace by the Supreme Leader and some show him being welcomed into heaven but theres one word thats been chanted across the country we heard it yesterday in iran is being chanted. By crowds there and that is thats the farsi word for revenge and this is what the head of this revolutionary guard had to say to the crowds that were chanting for revenge. And. Our revenge will be harsh in tough be certain because we are telling the enemy we will avenge him if you respond to our revenge will burn the police in love and they themselves know where it is. Now the parliament has passed a motion that designates the pentagon and the u. S. Military forces as terrorists now thats an amendment to a previous motion that was passed last year in april that designated u. S. Centcom military forces in the middle middle east and afghanistan as terrorists but also the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council has been speaking today and he said that they have discussed the possible scenarios for retaliation to the United States he said that the United States have 9000 bases in the middle east in this region and iran can target all of them and they have information on all of them he also said that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has said that all the forces of the resistance front will be involved in the retaliation now this latest news about targeting miller possible targeting military bases will make regional countries very nervous as they do have states forces and bases are. In tehran as a thank you well for desired he is professor of world studies at the university of tehran he believes others will Carry Forward some amount is military action. One of the goals that he had was to end the us hegemony in the middle east and as you have seen in the last number of days the iraq a parliament has voted for the American Forces to get out of iraq and this is going to be of anti american policies he was like many iranians did not have any problem with the American People but they did have problem with the Us Government in the middle east policies of the Us Government the support that they give to israelis and the support that they give to the dictators that cause difficulties for the people of this region and i think the legacy is going to be with the idea that you can serve your country you can protect the borders you can be independent and you may get killed in this manner but the ideas are going to be present for many years to come the people. Have been a kind of pressure and a segment of society may feel pressured enough to come to the city its a small segment as we saw in a couple of months ago but people are realizing that there are economic difficulties. Important but what is more important is the security of the country and when you hit a general thats his main job was to protect the borders theyre going to get upset the assassination was ordered by President Trump who had his own ideas of nationalism for him not to realize that this is going to cause iranians to unite and this is going to cause iraqis to unite and its going to cause iranian people and iraqi people to iraq to unite because they have a common enemy now it is very for the shuffle. Well for more of the confusion about the future of u. S. Troops in iraq lets talk to Gabriel Elizondo who joins us live from washington d. C. Gave it all to believe that a letter of such importance was leaked mistakenly and officials have not been scrambling ever not to limit the fallout and theres been a pretty bad week for the pentagon. It really has a pentagon was in damage control on multiple levels on monday to really understand and really get the full impact of this letter and why it was so damaging is that to remember over the weekend it was the Iraqi Parliament that decided to voted for this nonbinding. Voted this nonbinding to remove u. S. Troops from iraq and then President Trump tweeted afterwards saying american troops are going nowhere were going to stay in iraq so thats when we come to monday and this letter was leaked it was a letter thats on department of defense letterhead it signed or it wasnt signed but it was written by a general based in iraq an American General and it was a letter purportedly to his iraqi colleagues or is iraqi counterparts the military in iraq and listen to the 1st sentence of this all read it says duty in due deference to the sovereignty of the republic of iraq and as requested by the Iraqi Parliament and the Prime Minister combined a joint task force will be repositioning forces over the course of the coming days and weeks to prepare for Onward Movement and then theres a couple other sentences and then it ends with we respect your sovereignty decision we respect your sovereign decision to order our departure so its pretty clear there that that is a letter that by all indications you just heard it is informing iraq that the u. S. Plans to move their troops out of iraq when this letter was leaked of course all journalists including ourselves call the pentagon we try to get more information in the pentagon was saying wait what we know nothing about this long story short there is that ultimately the pentagon immediately saw the letter went into damage control and then called in journalists and it went all the way up to the secretary of defense and joints chief of staff who met with journalists off camera and said nope that letter was just a draft it does. Not mean what it says there we are not pulling our troops out of iraq or does repositioning them within iraq and that that letter should not have gone out publicly or been leaked and still a lot of more questions than answers but thats the word of the pentagon said well why would this letter even be written in this way and they just said listen if it was a draft it doesnt mean what it was said clearly though a big big mistake by the pentagon or its a gable end is on the in washington d. C. Again thank you made on iraq has pushed members of the United Nations Security Council to condemn somalis assassination the killing has led to debate and division at the u. N. The secretary general of the new content is says hes worried about the growing food ive been following the recent rise in global tensions with great concern i mean Constant Contact with leading officials around the rules and my message is simple and clear stop escalation exercise maximum restraint restart dialogue re new International Cooperation let us not forget the terrible human suffering caused by walk my kind of has more now from the u. N. Iraq has sent a letter to the president of the Security Council and the secretary general asking for the Security Council to issue a statement condemning the United States for its action iraq says in the letter it stresses that any military operation on iraqi soil without the consent of the Iraqi Government and without prior coordination is considered as a provocative hostile act that violates the charter of the United Nations so iraq wanting at the very least a statement from the u. N. Security council but this isnt very likely the council and as on so many other issues deeply divided on this matter the Chinese Ambassador is saying that he is consulting with other members of the council when asked whether he will call for an urgent meeting the Russian Ambassador being even more blunt asked whether there was a likelihood of a joint statement from the Security Council he simply said no so clearly the issue of the Security Council and dealing with this crisis at the moment very very difficult where the council remains totally disunited. The nato chief has warned iran against further violence and provocations off an emergency meeting in belgium stoltenberg says a new conflict is in no ones interest nato montagne a 500 person strong Training Mission in iraq for the fight against eisel but it suspended that after somalis death.
