Well we have correspondents standing by in washington and in new york at the United Nations 1st though lets go to a solid engine of aid in baghdad and iraqs Prime Minister has been meeting with the u. S. Ambassador to iran to iraq what he said about that meeting. Security stability and sovereignty thats what the iraqi Prime Ministers office says the relationship between iraq and the United States needs to be based upon in this meeting between the Prime Minister and the u. S. Ambassador according to the p. M. s office the issues that were discussed most importantly was of the both sides working together for the draw of foreign troops in iraq something that the iraqi Prime Minister have been emphasizing in the last 24 hours this being the 1st working day of the week hes received hes been receiving phone calls from World Leaders from all over the globe he spoke to the country and really he spoke to the 4 british chancellor sorry german chancellor Angela Merkel the british Prime Minister the Chinese Ambassador and others so the message underlying message here seems to be that of deescalation that out of solidarity with iraq because iraq says that it has been a victim of proxy wars being fought on its soil iraq says that the action that was taken on friday by the United States is an infringement of its sovereignty and the rules of engagement that it has agreed upon with the United States so the iraqi Prime Minister making it clear to World Leaders that where it stands and also to the United States saying that a mechanism will be formulated so that the video all of foreign troops from european soil can begin i mean clearly theres a great deal of concern about inside iraq about the the terms of the u. S. Military presence inside the country by that vote in the parliament was not a final vote and of course it was boy cost said by many iraqi lawmakers. It was a display area of the divisions that plague iraq the sectarian and ethnic divisions between sunnis shias and kurds as many other parties besides this year lawmakers boy courted this Parliament Session we heard from the Parliament Saying that it wants an immediate withdrawal and then we heard from sunni lawmaker saying that no decisions should be taken in haste or based on emotions are you also heard from the other side that almost nobody seems to be content with what the parliament with came up with and you heard from the leader of one of the largest blocs in the iraqi Parliament Saying that it is a weak decision by the parliament he called for a boycott of u. S. Products shutting down of u. S. Embassy formation of battalions for all groups inside and outside iraq for the days and weeks ahead you heard from the Hezbollah Group saying that they will not spare the United States even it draws voluntarily and similar incendiary statements from various groups which are out for revenge on the other hand there is a lot of concern by other groups such as the kurdish the northern kurdish parts of iraq the sudanese in the north and the northwest where did they feel that maybe it will not be the right decision for all the foreign troops to leave iraq there needs to be a level of trust not just with the Iraqi Security forces but all of these forces which are aligned and backed by iran as well because the as the events unfolded after the defeat of iceland there has been a lot of accusations flying about how iraq has been governed by state and nonstate actors and again it is going to be a major challenge for the Iraqi Government even if its if it overcomes all of these differences and decides to push foreign troops out because it is not just the current the 14 agreement with the United States and other world powers to defeat iceland there are individual agreements which will take months and months and that is the kind of time that groups which are out for revenge in iraq do not want to give foreign troops thanks very much for the latest from baghdad a solid bench of a. Cross when it can really help now and we have had a tone of defiance from president trying today reiterating his threat to bomb cultural sites in iran. Yeah the president is not backing down in terms of defiance in fact many would potentially call it hubris given the fact that the president continues his tough talk will not acknowledging the full range of retaliatory options available to iran should it choose to strike back in some capacity the latest tweet from the u. S. President in all caps iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon. Referring to the efforts in the maximum Pressure Campaign that some would say has has dangerously escalated now by the United States with the u. S. Killing of generals now the u. S. President for its part and for his part rather is not backing down from the start of the threat to iran where he as you referenced to said he would be willing to target militarily a number of targets 52. 00 in fact that would include cultural sites something that many have argued would be a violation of International Law at this 52 being significant because this is the number of diplomats that were detained back in 1979 by iran by the latest statements coming from the white house that they believe that this is within the law for the United States to target those sites should the iran choose to retaliate against the United States however its not clear whos law the United States would be following. Meanwhile were also hearing continuing concerns being voiced by democrats as to the timing circumstances the justification for this strike what weve been hearing from House Speaker nancy pelosi today. Well theres a real effort to try and limit the president s power because as you point out theres concern that congress wasnt consulted now the white house says that it did of course notify on saturday the u. S. Congress of the drone strike that took place but at the same time many feel that there was a lot more briefing that needed to take place in fact there is a constitutional requirement for oversight by the u. S. Congress with respect to military action so this is an effort to kind of reassert that oversight the introduction of the war powers resolution to try and prevent this white house this president from acting militarily but its unlikely to pass the u. S. Senate or at least there are questions about that it would pass in the house of representatives but essentially what this is is an effort to not only limit the president s power but get more information we know there will be a briefing by the Administration Officials on wednesday now were hearing that will be the defense secretary the department of state representative mike pump pale as well as the cia director but again some tough questions coming from congress with regard to whether or not the president did enough to notify congress in advance of this military action thank you very much from the white house can believe it of course has been continuing International Reaction to all of this is while the head of nato has warned iran against further violence and provocations. Meeting took place in brussels the alliance has put on hold an anti eisel Training Mission in iraq since so the moneys death. Nato is prepared to continue our training and Capacity Building when the situation permits we remain strongly committed to the fight against international terrorism. After the meeting today the United States also briefed on the regional situation following recent attacks on Coalition Forces in iraq on the strike against generals for the moment. For years all our allies have expressed concern about 2 wrongs do you stay abroad singer 2 it is in the why the middle east region. We agreed iran must never require a Nuclear Weapon we shared concern about irans missile tests. And also the United Nations has been reacting calling for maximum restraint from wild leaders without naming any countries specifically the sector general antonio the terrorists at the tensions were at the highest level in a century ive been following the recent rise in global tensions with great concern i mean Constant Contact with living officials around the world 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 war on my counter as a United Nations and joins us now its not fair of course or what the u. N. Can do but certainly some very strong remarks being made there by attorney of the terrace is that being. What are the reaction has there been from the u. N. Well you notice that the secretary general was very careful not to name names or point fingers speaking about to generic chaos and threats that exist worldwide that Statement Last a day less than a minute he came in made the statement walked out wouldnt take any questions but no such holding back from the Chinese Ambassador for example the Chinese Ambassador to the u. N. Saying that the United States says in his words violated basic norms of International Relations he too called for deescalation of this ongoing crisis he did confirm that a letter had been received from iran asking for the Security Council to focus on this entire crisis but he would not be drawn into whether china was going to call for such a meeting saying instead that china was consulting with other members of the Security Council these are similar sentiments expressed by the Russian Ambassador who was our star rickly whether russia would call for such a meeting he said no he was asked whether there would be a statement he said bluntly there will be no chance of a statement this just reflects the Division Within the Security Council the division between the 5 permanent members that at this particular stage the Security Council let alone holding a session on the crisis cannot even come together to issue a statement on it all right thank you very much Neal Mike Hanna with all the latest on how the u. N. Is reacting. Well Global Oil Prices a surge more than 5 percent since the assassination of carson selling money now at 70. 00 a barrel the price of crude is the highest since september and drones were used to attack oil pricing facilities in saudi arabia the u.
