Claims it wants to negotiate to ease tensions after the assassination of military come on and so the money to iran says it wont cooperate as long as sanctions are in place and in another development a Senior Iranian officer has warned of hausherr revenge after a missile strikes and u. S. Targets i was earlier President Donald Trump said iran appeared to be backing away from further military confrontation than just a moment well be speaking to dorset a body whos in tech run and Gabriel Elizondo in washington d. C. But 1st this report from our White House CorrespondentKimberly Hauck it. With the u. S. And iran edging dangerously close to war President Donald Trump proclaimed that tehran appears to be standing down truck gave no indication that the United States intends to strike back hours after running in missile attacks on 2 bases used by the u. S. Military in iraq we suffered no casualties all of our soldiers are safe and orderly minimal damage was sustained and our military bases it was a stark contrast to the president s threats of retaliation without hesitation that have dominated his twitter feed in recent days instead flanked by top advisers and generals trump laid a surprising suggestion that members of nato to become much more involved in the middle east process it was an astonishing claim from a president who once called nato obsolete he also encouraged u. S. Partners and allies to abandon the j c p a way an agreement put in place in 2050 and by world powers to live it Irans Nuclear program we must all Work Together toward making a deal with the rain that makes the world a safer and more Peaceful Place however truck didnt ounce new sanctions would be coming without giving specifics he also left open the possibility of diplomacy speaking directly to irans leaders he insisted the United States desires for iran a great future one that you deserve one of prosperity at home in harmony with the nations of the world the United States is ready to embrace peace. With all who seek it but missing from the president s speech evidence that the u. S. Killing of iranian general qassam solomonic was justified and necessary to prevent an imminent attack on americans its evidence opposition democrats are demanding from the trumpet ministration also absent a Clear Strategy something the administration has promised to provide in closed door briefings on wednesday to members of congress including Top Republicans iran didnt just take an off ramp it took a u. Turn because they know they have no capability to fight against america at least based on the presentation that was made. That it does not meet what i consider to be a threat but if President Trump chooses to respond by sending even more soldiers to the middle east he breaks a Major Campaign promise to pull the United States out of what he once called its for ever wars can really help at aljazeera the white house theyre a little window is joining us live from washington d. C. Gave them give us some indication of whats been happening in washington the hours after Donald Trumps speech. Nancy pelosi and many members of congress were absolutely furious that trump did not inform them before the strike that assassinated so little money and now what is happening is House Speaker nancy pelosi is going to do something about it she said that on thursday she is going to take a war powers resolution and put it on the floor of the house and have a vote on it what this essentially would do would limit trumps ability to take further military action against iran without the consent of congress most likely most likely will pass the house of representatives given that most democrats are on board with this and the democrats control the house of representatives but its important to note excuse me that after the house of representatives it would then have to go to the senate and its most likely going to fail in the senate given that the senate is controlled by republicans and most republicans have rallied around trump and probably will not want to see this go any further nevertheless its a very strong sign from pelosi and from Many Congress members of congress voicing their dissatisfaction of what they say was trumped taking somewhat of a rogue action by not informing congress in advance now on tuesday as well. As wednesday as well im sorry. Many both branches of congress were briefed behind closed doors by the administration on this socalled imminent threat that solo money post posed and many members including some republicans were very dissatisfied with what they heard from the administration behind those closed door meetings listen to what this republican congressman mike lee had to say. I had hoped and expected to receive more information outlining the legal factual and moral justification for the attack that was left somewhat unsatisfied on that front which i would add was probably the worst briefing ive seen at least on a military issue in the 9 years ive served in the United States senate. When i found so distressing about that briefing was that one of the messages we received from the briefers was do not debate do not discuss the issue of the appropriateness of further miller military intervention against iran and that if you do youll be emboldening iran gabriel i understand that the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Kenny cough has sent a letter to the u. N. Security council i believe tell us more about that. Yeah this letter was released late on wednesday and the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. As you mentioned sent it to the president of the Security Council this was sort of a formality because article 51 of the u. N. Charter states that any country that takes military action against another country. Because of quote selfdefense must inform the Security Council immediately so thats essentially what this letter was about. And it laid out the case of why the u. S. Did this strike killing so loni and in part the letter read over the past several months the United States has been the target of a series of escalating threats and armed attacks by the Islamic Republic of iran now thats interesting because in this letter which is about a page and a half long she spells out several different incidents dating back to last year where she says the u. S. Was attacked in the gulf region allegedly from iran or u. S. Interests but nowhere in the letter does it spell out any imminent threat that solar money posed or any imminent attack that solo money was planning against u. S. Interests and thats the main argument that trump has been making over the last 24 to 48 hours or so nowhere in this letter do you see that and theres another interesting part at the very end of the letter it also states that the u. S. Wishes to note as it has done repeatedly over the past years that we remain committed to a diplomatic resolution thats interesting because there the u. S. Is basically saying we want to pursue diplomacy and were committed to diplomacy with iran but on the other hand its important to note that irans top diplomat Mohamed Javid zarif was planning to come to the u. N. On thursday to attend a Security Council meeting but he cant because the u. S. Denied his visa thanks very much. I want to bring in dosage of body shes joining us now from his group who was sitting there in that letter to the u. N. To the u. S. Suggesting that it is open to some form of diplomacy whats been the reaction in to whats been happening in the last few hours. Well i think the lack of reaction is telling on its own and because there hasnt been any official response to the u. S. President s speech since late last night here the iranians have chosen not to me even comment about what u. S. President donald trump had said what we have been seeing though is that even though the official mourning period for the late general hossam solomon is come to an end then hes been buried in his hometown in care man his commemoration is the Memorial Services continue to go on not only in the capital where weve seen a ceremony take place with the Supreme Leader in attendance alongside the president Hassan Rouhani and the head of the force who was recently appointed alongside the head of the judiciary so all the high levels of government with the Supreme Leader. Memorial Service Mourning the loss of the late general these ceremonies have been going on across the country not just in tehran this is what weve been seeing scenes of people gathering in various cities across the country to commemorate the man they are calling one of the fathers of the country this is all happening at the same time that were been hearing from the irans ambassador to the United Nations the permanent ambassador to the u. N. Hes been speaking to aljazeera lets listen in to some of what he had to say. Hes not interested in war you dont hes not interested in escalation of tension. I mean. Shes in the tension not to be in the interest of so youre on. To. The 1st ingredients. Of of the force of American Forces from orange. Weve also been hearing some new reports that the canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau has decided to send a number of diplomats to tehran to try and deescalate the tensions that are ongoing as well as to discuss the number of canadians who were killed in that plane crash that took place just outside of amman khomeini airport on wednesday the diplomats. Being dispatched to speak to the foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif of course iran and canada have not had political or diplomatic relations since september of 2012 when the canadians decided to close their embassy and sever diplomatic ties so this is a 1st seen sign that weve seen of some kind of movement between the 2 sides and there is some discussion about whether or not canada can play a role in trying to deescalate the tensions that are ongoing at the moment those are things very much indeed dosage of our ally for us in turkey the ukrainian president has declared a national day of mourning after the Ukraine Airlines plane crashed in iran and killed all 176 passengers on board the boeing 707 went down shortly after takeoff.

Up to triple the full blast for 8 months or so mouse going to italy to meet with will tell you blood minister the call did fall a ceasefire the fact that the troops are on the glow of the moment is kind of counterbalance to the power of how it seems that ceasefire is much more likely to happen. The 1st one is the oil supply used to europe especially given whats happened in. And obviously it is all places my shut up in the next couple of weeks if that situation deteriorates in libya and too is the issue of. Immigrants because italy is just a few 100 kilometers away from libya and germany has been calling for a conference for a ceasefire and to stop. And hell be in libya because malta 50 percent of immigrants in europe and in germany and if i have to as i said before was not necessarily interested in any ceasefire because he fell on the globe and he could win the bottom eventually with the backing of those countries no i think the balance of power on the globe has changed both parties see dot they cannot win the situation especially after they cannot win the war using military means so the main thing is for a ceasefire.
