Drone strike killed the countrys top general and an Iraqi Militia leader and baghdad on sunday large crowds in iran mourned the death of Kassam Soleimani at a funeral procession. Grief and outrage as tens of thousands in the iranian city of mashad a company in the body of general cause some sort of money to a shrine a popular hero and close ally of the countrys supreme leader. Or. His assassination is considered a declaration of war by many iranians. In the parliament cries of death to america in support of his rational the 7 action that the us president is considered a military active terrorist. Group only you watch you know the disadvantage will have painful consequences for you which minimal ripple effects are being felt already the parliament in neighboring iraq has voted to end the u. S. Military presence in the country some 5000 u. S. Troops are stationed there on the streets of baghdad fears that instability will only get worse. It is a horrific act miss fear they want us to live in chaos worse than what we live in now there will be more killings and the fight will move to iraq. And in lebanon be around back hezbollah militia threaten to hit American Forces in the region a lot of the last kellyanne i mean American Army bases battleships and every american soldier in our region countries and in our lands i mean the American Army killed him solo money and the others and it is the americans who will pay the price or be it that theyre not going. Well i love you so you know paul simon. Theres been no backing down on the american side in washington u. S. President donald trump threatened to hit tehran hard if iran strikes tweeting we have targeted 52 iranian sites representing the 52 american hostages taken by iran many years ago a reference to the hostage crisis at the American Embassy the fall of the 1979 iranian revolution a key event in the long running conflict between washington and tehran the wrongs announcement on sunday that it would no longer abide by the 2050 nuclear deal raises the stakes further but the widespread outrage on the street puts pressure on the government in tehran to show its standing up to the u. S. And to get a u. S. Perspective on the still evolving situation were joined now by carla bleicher from our Washington Bureau carla the latest development is that the iran is essentially tearing of the nuclear deal it would seem which trump donald trump himself was keen to scrap as soon as he took office any reaction from the u. S. Administration. Yes u. S. Secretary of states mike pump ale has said that these this recent steps of action that the u. S. Government has taken are more of a course correction against the what he calls peace moment of iran under the Obama Administration and he is saying that people should remember what happened under this treaty namely what he refers to as the hundreds of thousands of deaths of people across the middle easts and has washington said anything about the significant decision of the Iraqi Parliament voting for u. S. Troops to leave the country. Well pump ale pointed out that he believes that the iraqi Prime Minister who has called the parliament to action and was asked for them to institute a timetable for this pull out its that he according to pump was pressured by iran and continue to say that he believes that the iraqi people one thing United States to continue to stay in the country. Just turning back to iran which you mentioned donald trump has been warning hes ready to use his words head around fast and hard saying you know be over 50 targets is there any indication what those targets might involve of course details are being kept under wraps but President Trump has said that among the 52. 00 targets on the u. S. List are also targets importance to rain and culture iran has 24. 00 sites on the u. S. School World Heritage list but it is important to remember that targeting cultural sides is considered a war crime according to international conventions. And if you could just tell us weve been talking about the you know the governments actions and reactions and so on like to hear a little bit about what the American People in congress are are thinking about things. Any any comment from congress serve them but the public that are worth under money. Yes yes critics of the trumpet ministration are are worried its of what they are seeing is the president pushing the country to the brink of war with iran and Chuck Schumer the minority leader so the democratic minority leader in the u. S. Senate has said that trumps erratic Decision Making is risking the safety of americans at home and abroad and another thing that they have been criticizing is the process. Of trump not not informing congress of the steps that he has taken. The president has tweeted as his media posts so his tweets work work as a way of informing congress. You know if iran attacks that the u. S. Will strike back but as critics have pointed out that does not work that its not legally sanctioned i dont think thats actually in the constitution ok carl a blogger reporting for us from washington d.
