Our revenge will be harsh and tough be certain because we are telling the enemy bench him if you respond to our revenge well burn the police in love and they themselves know where it is. Well this is happening as the future of the American Military in iraq remains uncertain the u. S. Secretary of defense was forced to clarify that there has been no decision to pull troops that comes after a draft last it was leaked indicates it will withdraw but the top general said it was circulated by mistake what will be speaking. About the u. S. Troops in iraq in just a moment some a binge of aid to standing by for us in baghdad to tell us about the funeral of the Deputy Commander of the iranian backed militia who was also killed in fridays airstrike but 1st lets go to dorset to barry in toronto get more on that stampede. What more can what more can you tell us about the stampede. Well weve heard from the head of the countrys Emergency Services who says that there has indeed been 40 deaths so far reported and the stampede which occurred just a few hours ago in care month city in the central care mon province we also know that over 200 people have been injured so far and because of that the burial ceremonies have been actually postponed we dont know when thats going to happen we believe that the authorities are now trying to clear the areas in the city to try and make sure that everybody is safe and then have some kind of a Burial Service and quietly and privately later on possibly in the evening now care man city is quite a small city its home to about 820000 people and its about a 1000 kilometers away from the capital tehran and this is really not the kind of sea. He that was equipped to handle this kind of crowd weve heard that some of the victims have come all the way from ban that boss in the south of the country so this ceremony was not just limited to people who lived in the area iranians from all across the country came out to attend the Burial Services for the assassinated general hossam so the money so its still. A situation thats ongoing in the authorities are trying to get a handle on it and meanwhile there are so there have been other developments in iran noticeably in the parliaments and also some controversy around the foreign minister. Just because up to date with the Political Developments in iran if you. Well the parliament has now designated 200000000 euros from the National Budget to go towards. Cuts force that is the branch of the revolutionary guards that deals with the foreign and Clandestine Operations that was headed by the late general us him so the money so it got a huge boost financially to beef up its defense. Capabilities that was the one thing the parliament was adamant about since the assassination we also have now heard from the foreign minister devout serif who spoke to me just a short while ago at a conference he was hosting in toronto where he does talk about the latest developments about the u. S. Governments decision not to issue him a visa to attend the United NationsSecurity Council meeting which he was invited to on thursday lets hear what else he had to say. Secretary pompei or caused the secretary general of the United Nations yesterday and said they didnt have time to. Consider my request and therefore they will not issue a research. That is a violation of the United States commitments the i mean if the us if it takes. 25 days for the u. S. Bureaucracy to issue a visa for the foreign minister was visited the United States many times in the past 35 years then. Thats the word asian of the u. N. Charter headquarters agreement wide ocean of u. S. Obligations but for a country that commits war crimes and crimes against humanity committing a technical violation of a u. N. Headquarters agreement is not important the question is what are they afraid of what do they think would happen if i go to new york. That thats a question that they need to answer potentially think again theyre mistaken as secretary pump your thought that people were dancing in the streets of tehran and baghdad for their measure of generosity money and now he sees the sea of humanity turning out they think that i cannot communicate with the American People without coming to the United States where i can communicate with the American People sitting at my home iran will respond to because there was an act toward an act of war combined with an act of terrorism against a senior official of the stomach republic of iran and a citizen of iran and we are bound to protect our citizens and our military officials was an act that has to be. Reciprocated by you by iran even make the necessary deliberations and it will be an act that we will do not in a hurry not in a hasty man and but after necessary deliberation however the act by the United States had other elements and it enraged to feelings of. Many people outside of europe so you know that will have consequences for the United States and i believe the most important consequence is that the days of the United States in this region of numbering. The foreign minister also told me that since the assassination he has lost not only a great friend but a great confidant and that nothing can replace general us and so the money for the foreign minister is a sentiment thats being shared across the country now as we move forward the question now is what will happen between the United States and iran everybody is asking that very question in the iranians are saying theyve decided what theyre going to do but theyre taking their time to act on it so in the days and weeks ahead well find out what will happen next ok Dorsett Jabari live for us in tehran thank you. For it is the is a professor of world studies at the university of tehran he believes others will Carry Forward solmonese military agenda. 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 Iraqi Parliament has voted for the American Forces to get out of iraq and this is going to be very 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 u. S. Government in the middle east policies of the u. S. 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 streets 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. Were just getting word into was that the death toll in kirmani where that funeral for a general sort of money was taking place the death toll has now risen to 50 were going to keep across that story and bring you all the latest as it comes in but for now lets shift our focus to iraq and iraqis and bastra have held a funeral procession for paramilitary leader abu matty our mohandas he was killed alongside so money in fridays airstrike mindless was the Deputy Commander of the arena and backed Popular Mobilization forces whose faces were involved in the siege on the u. S. Embassy in baghdad last week a binge of aids is in baghdad for some of the hospital lot of focus on the funerals for the money but up on the hands of his funeral is also taking place but what can you tell us about that funeral and how is his death being viewed in iraq. Well weve heard from the Prime Minister of iraq who held a funeral ceremony rather mourning ceremony at the Prime Ministers Office Yesterday where people came and can do or not for just the death. But also for the killing of the mad hundreds who was the 2nd in command of the Popular Mobilization forces now that has after some d. N. A. Tests and his body being blessed at religious ritual religious science in iran his body have arrived in basra where there was a funeral and the body will now travel to niger for its final resting place i would imagine wonders has now been replaced by how the. Commander whos also been quite efficient in the fight against somebody was very close to iran as well and how the lumber used to lead the budget of militia weve also seen the impact of this from his blood because there was a lot of influence of that particular group and the United States going after that group signaled that there was some sort of intelligence that the u. S. Had about that group blamed the group for attack and. Carried out strikes against that group on the iraq Syrian Border and this is a group that was headed by a mad the 100. 00 who was taken out with customs and then money so he was a significant figure he was seen as somebody who was bringing together the various factions because of it in the Popular Mobilization forces there is a number of smaller groups with various interests and ideologies some extreme some not that much of and then he was the kind of figure who could rally them all together under the umbrella of the popular will a vision forces cross into the money being instrumental in giving them the guidance to become a coherent force against isis and that is by seeing a lot of calls of revenge from many of these groups under the umbrella of the Popular Mobilization forces some groups saying that the blood that has been. Build will not go in vain has been lost 8 men just 24 hours ago saying that the United States even if it pulls out voluntarily will not be spared of the revenge so a lot of incendiary statements coming from these groups but so far they have exercise restraint apparently theyre under orders that no action is to be taken on iraqi soil but iraq is bracing itself for some sort of reaction that will come from iran which iran says will be of its time and place of choosing macare some adventure of aides are reporting from baghdad thank you for the trumpet ministration is expected to brief congress about the drone strike that killed car sums of money and. 100 s. For more than their White House CorrespondentKimberly Hauck its in washington d. C. Kimberly air we are expecting congress to be brief not before time many in the Democratic Party would argue. Yeah there is a lot going on in washington on the story its fast moving the latest news that we have reported that in just about 2 an hours time or less we will be hearing from the u. S. Secretary of state pale in the state Department Briefing room we expect that he is going to be answering some questions for reporters we know that he made the sunday rounds on the chat shows where he continued to make the argument that the attacks the killing that brought the death of general solo money that in fact that this was justified in the eyes of the trumpet ministration expect that there will be questions on that also questions on the other story that were porting the fact that the Iranian Foreign minister not being granted a visa to attend those meetings at the u. N. Secor Security Council that are taking place on thursday the last time he was here with the u. N. General assembly back in september but now in the context of the events taking place the u. S. Not granting that visas so watching very closely as that happens but as you point out there are real questions not just from reporters but also from members of congress about the timing of this killing of general given the fact that the u. S. President is facing impeachment proceedings in the u. S. Congress that moving now to the u. S. Senate many members of Congress Asking was the senate attempt to kind of divert from that problematic domestic headline that is taking place so these are some of the questions that will be brought up in the briefing as well as also what is the administrations strategy we have been talking here on aljazeera that in fact the House Speaker nancy pelosi introducing measures to limit the president s ability to respond militarily moving forward against iran but at the same time were also seeing another resolution circulating in the Republican Controlled Senate to praise the president for his actions so a lot of conflicting information a lot of confusion trying to sort it out will be watching very carefully at 15 g. M. T. When. The u. S. Secretary of state speaks to reporters. Were looking for clarity on the subject there is certainly a lot of confusion among the military strategy in the way forward particularly after a letter was released claiming that the u. S. Defense secretary was going to troops out of iraq and that has not been. Wolf you know in washington whats happening with the yeah. Well thats what were all asking it was a bit of a confusing couple of hours when suddenly we saw at the pentagon this impromptu q. And a session question and answer session taking place late monday afternoon local time where we saw the defense secretary mark asked for coming out the army general mark milley coming out and answering questions about a letter that had been circulating they say it was a draft letter but this letter essentially was sort of laying out the plan for withdrawal something that the pentagon to since walked back its left many in congress and around the world asking what is the u. S. Strategy in all of this this is something that the president may address himself or watching that carefully as well he is expected to later on in the day be welcoming the Prime Minister of greece there is always the potential that he could be talking about that we do know that the military has been readying for some sort of retaliatory attack by iran adding to the 10s of thousands of troops already in the region with thousands more for his part u. S. President on top so far off and tweets early in the morning here in washington been a bit quiet so far only read tweeting tweets from one of his supporters in the u. S. Senate senator Lindsey Graham essentially saying that once again saying that this was a justified mission that this killing of general solomonic was to avert attacks on americans to foil plots against americans and that he can only blame himself for his own death very strong words being rich waited from the u. S. President will see follows that up when he appears perhaps alongside the Prime Minister of greece later in the coming hours ok kember we hope thank you very much.
