Another cars dash cam. Plus, stunning discovery. A man missing in the grand. Setting the stage for tvs big night. What to expect from the Golden Globes and why the show is going meatless. And the waitress ringing in 2020 with a massive tip and the famous face behind it. Good friday morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us. We begin with breaking news from baghdad where the pentagon launched a deadly air strike killing one of irans most powerful generals. The pentagon says Qasem Soleimani is responsible for hundreds of u. S. Deaths, and he was, quote, actively developing plans to attack american diplomats and Service Members in the middle east. Abcs ines de la cuetara joins us with the new details. Good morning. Reporter good morning, janai and kenneth. This represents a major escalation in tensions between the u. S. And iran. Qasem soleimani was a senior and popular iranian commander and overnight irans ayatollah is warning the u. S. Can expect severe retaliation. Tensions between the u. S. And iran reaching a boiling point. The department of defense confirming in a statement, at the direction of the president , the u. S. Military has taken decisive defensive action to protect u. S. Personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani. Abc news learning soleimani was killed by a drone strike conducted by u. S. Joint special operations that hit a convoy carrying soleimani as he was leaving baghdads airport. Mr. Soleimani is not just a general. He is something almost a demigod within the eyes of the iranian people. Hes been a hero of the iranian people for a long time. Reporter the pentagon argues soleimani was actively developing plans to attack american diplomats and Service Members throughout the region and says it was soleimani who was behind the recent attacks on u. S. Led coalition bases in iraq and the strike that recently killed an american contractor. The u. S. Then retaliating by taking out 25 members of an iranianbacked militia, a move that kicked off two days of chaotic protest outside the American Embassy in baghdad. Nsfedecrsee with a warning on msnbc on thursday. You know, enough is enough. We have all the capabilities inherent in the United States military to either respond to further attacks or to take preemptive action if additional attacks are being prepared. Reporter the president responding to the attack by tweeting out the image of an American Flag but just days ago insisting he did not want to go to war. I want to have peace. I like peace. Reporter and reaction from congress has been swift and polarized. Republicans are praising the president s actions while democrats warn of war and question whether the president needed congressional approval. Kenneth. And, ines, as you said, this is getting a lot of reaction on both sides of the aisle. What are some of the democratic president ial candidates saying . Reporter yeah, so the Democratic Candidates have long been critical of the president s knowledge of foreign policy. Former Vice President joe biden released a statement saying that President Trump had just tossed a stick of dynamite into a tinderbox and that he owes the American People an explanation and Bernie Sanders saying trumps dangerous escalation brings us closer to another disastrous war in the middle east that could cost countless lives and trillions more dollars. Janai. All right, ines there thank you, we appreciate it. While the u. S. Has considered soleimani a dangerous enemy iranians call him a hero in, quote, the International Face of resistance. Abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz spoke about him earlier on nightline. When isis winak t ovg towns in iraq, soleimani wo often be seen in iraq traveling back and forth between iran and iraq to help lead the fight, these iranianbacked militias against isis. He was a very strong but very mysterious presence in iraq. He was not high profile by any means, but i will also say that his presence was felt throughout the world there because he was responsible for the deaths of many americans. I think its almost certain iran will have some sort of response. Even given what weve heard from them this evening in tweets and that the United States in some way will pay for this. I think the important thing here to look at in any kind of iranian response is whether they take credit for it. Remember, with the attacks earlier this year on the Saudi Oil Fields and the drone attacks, they talked about the drone, but they did not talk about the Saudi Oil Fields. They did not take responsibility for those attacks, and so i think if iran had some sort of response to the killing of soleimani and they take credit for it, they are looking for a larger conflict. If they dont, i think they want to tamp this down. And a thanks to our chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz there. In the wake of that strike, were hearing from Police Departments at home including new york and los angeles. The lapd saying it is monitoring the situation, and new yorks mayor says the department is discussing steps to protect key locations from any retaliation by iran.
