A lot of fear and anxiety just worry about whats to come and why the death and the assassination of course until the money has caused fear for iranian American Communities in the u. S. Coming from the gulf everyones just past 7 am here in doha as it is in baghdad it is 7 30 am in teheran it is 11 pm in washington d. C. On come all santamaria continuing coverage of developments out of the region this weapons day the top line is that iran has launched more than a dozen Ballistic Missiles at u. S. Iraqi facilities in iraq this is at least 2 bases were talking about one is in erbil the other is the. Base in Anbar Province also irans revolutionary guard has issued a warning to other u. S. Allies in the region and that includes israel saying they will be attacked if their countries are used for strikes against terror rob also developments were seeing from the u. S. F a a the federal Aviation Authority which has now banned u. S. Airlines from flying over this region were talking about airspace in iraq to the west iran and the east the gulf of oman as well and then the waters between iran and saudi arabia and other words the gulf itself it is sizing quote the potential for miscalculation or mis identification. So lets go through some of the reaction so far and obviously the 1st person we wanted to hear from will waiting to hear from was the u. S. President donald trump he hopped on twitter and he said this all is well missiles launched from iran at 2 military bases located in iraq assessment of casualties and damage is taking place now so far so good we have the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world by far i will be making a statement tomorrow morning here are our correspondents covering developments harry falls that is in west jerusalem well be talking to him and a little bit about as you say the threat towards israel theres a summer binge of aid in baghdad then as i said beg in terror from and were starting with kimberly how could i White House Correspondent at 11 pm outside the white house and as donald trump saying kambli we have to wait till the morning to actually hear from him it would appear but take us through reaction in the meantime. Yeah our morning wednesday morning youve hit that we havent quite yet so we expect the president to sleep and then we presume that he will be making some sort of statement but when we got the official daily guidance as its called from the white house there was no mention of any address by the u. S. President so were left wondering when this sort of statement of clarity will happen what we should say is that we had been for many hours here in washington and it wasnt just reporters it was or very americans simply holding their breath feeling in a state of heightened security given the fact that the president just hours earlier had used very tough language towards iran saying that if it did strike on any u. S. Interest that in fact there would be an attack by the United States his exact words we have to as retribution so given the president has said that telegraphed essentially his next move when word came down out of those 2 strikes on bases that have a u. S. Military interest by iran it was almost as if we were expecting in the very next breath that there would be reports coming from the pentagon of some sort of retaliatory measure by the United States we have not have reports of that now in the region we know it is daylight typically in those type of attacks do not occur in daylight so it seems that there has been some sort of pas that has taken place despite the president s tough talk now this may have something to do with the consultation the president has been doing in the last few hours with partners and allies weve had readouts not just from the emir of qatar where we know that iran iraq was discussed but also the White House Press office releasing a statement saying that the president also consulted with the chancellor of germany angle of merkel so we do know that the president is perhaps awaiting his. Options his next options we also know the pentagon is conducting whats called a Battle Damage assessment but expect there wont be a lot of details in that come out because typically the United States will play down if there had been any significant damage to any of their military operations not wanting to have a p. R. Victory to the socalled enemy in this case iran does anyone talk about potential diplomacy kimberly pump a is technically the chief diplomat of the United States he is the secretary of state. But its his counterpart that would be mohamed jevons or if the Iranian Foreign minister kind of get into the u. S. At the moment. At 6 actually right im glad you asked that question because the exact words we heard from mike pompei as he gave a briefing about iran earlier on tuesday he said the United States seeks a diplomatic solution his exact words wanting to deescalate these tensions but at the same time looking for ways for iran to cease its socalled malign activities and youre right as the u. S. Seeks a diplomatic solution to the tensions in the back and forth between iran and the United States the United States is also in the same breath prevented the Iranian Foreign minister from attending the meetings that will take place at the United NationsSecurity Council on thursday the u. S. State department has the ability to issue this these officially theyre saying that there were some processing problems well we know very well that the United States couldnt do that the state department couldnt do that if they wanted to but right now not granting the visa for the Iranian Foreign minister to attend those very important meetings were negotiations and a diplomatic solution presumably could take place so while the United States is saying on the what have they want to diplomatic solution on the other hand weve seen very aggressive action and very tough talk from the trumpet ministration thank you kimberly how in washington at the white house this so lets go through the iranian reaction now starting with what the foreign minister said tweeting homage officer if he said iran took and concluded proportionate measures in selfdefense on the article 51. 00 of the u. N. Charter targeting base from which cowardly arms attack against citizens and senior officials were launched we do not seek escalation or war but will defend ourselves against any aggression on top of thats we have heard the advisor to irans president Hassan Rouhani tweeting quote any American Military action against iran will lead to a wide war in. All of the region and then as well we should remind you about these pictures from knaan in iran the burial ceremony for possums eliminate the Iranian Military chief who was killed in a u. S. Airstrike on friday his death of course is what has sparked this latest escalation in tension it is his death that the iranians say that these rocket attacks today are missile attacks are in retaliation for the funeral was supposed to conclude yesterday of course. But there was that terrible stampede which happened 40 people were killed right as our correspondent in teheran now the language that mohammed serif used in his tweet i thought was interesting aside it was very specific words donald trump saying hey all is well zarif is talking about specific articles of the u. N. Charter. He has devolved briefs a diplomat and whenever he talks he will his position and the ring in position is that theyre active within International Law that they are acting proportionately and that this is selfdefense as far as iran is concerned that this is a retaliation for that specific incident the assassination of course and so the money and not an excuse or a way for a wider conflict do you see the revolutionary guards have issued warnings of issued warnings. Issued warnings to regional countries saying that if state has u. S. Bases it should ensure that no attack is launched against iran from those bases otherwise they would become targets but before this before these missile strikes took place the language coming out from iran was that the United States had made the mistake that it was a miscalculation and that iran would avenge the general got some so the money now thats exactly whats happened the politicians the political establishment here were under immense pressure from the public because out in the streets hundreds of thousands of people came out for the funeral procession of course and so the money over those 3. 00 and 3. 00 or 4 days and people on the streets are asking for revenge the politicians are saying that they would eventually and even the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Khomeini said that he would be avenged and thats exactly what theyve done but as far as iran is concerned that this is one specific retaliation to a specific incident that is assassination of course and for the money and they do not want a why do they do not want to why the escalation that is now down to the United States and how they respond to these missile strikes ok assad begs thank you for that and from teheran we go to baghdad here is the son of binge of a design comes up in iraq and this we forget in all of this this attack has happened in iraq were all talking about the escalation between the United States and iran or retaliation or however it will be interpreted these attacks are happening in iraq it leaves the Iraqi Government in quite a position. Some of binge of i cant hear me thats unfortunate well try to reconnect with him in the meantime maybe harry can hear me our full sit in lester islam yes again you know how yes are you ok hi harry so irans revolutionary guard issuing a warning to israel take us through that. Yes the. I. R. G. C. According to Iranian News Agency linked to it is saying that if there is further escalation from the United States then u. S. Allies in the region including israel will feel the force of further iranian action and according to reports on the telegram account the port city northern port city of haifa was mentioned in specifics and so that is of course very much within the the general terms that israel has been operating under for some time according to the. Leaks that were put through to the israeli media on monday after a security Cabinet Meeting here there was an Intelligence Report given to the israeli Political Leadership saying that the assessment was that there would be no immediate attack on israel that this was for now a u. S. Iran issue but if there were of course a wider escalation then israel would very much run the risk of being drawn into that the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu reportedly telling his colleagues during that meeting that this was an attack carried out by the americans on iran and any response was likely to target u. S. Interests in the region rather than israel but the question of course remains what happens next and if there is further escalation than israel which has already been in some form of conflict with iran for several years now in terms of its strikes on your main interests inside syria and more recently inside iraq then there is the very high possibility of israel being drawn into a wider conflict here we keep hearing that we have potential wider conflict thank you harry for sits in west jerusalem. And now well try again with some a binge of aid in baghdad can you hear me osama yes come out like and. Take us through then developments as we say you know we just obviously focus so much on the escalation of the retaliation between the United States and iran but this is all happening in iraq. Let me just quickly run you through what happened in the early hours of the morning kemal more than a dozen missiles hit an illicit base a number of problems here in iraq multiple other missiles landed near u. S. Bases in erbil that was confirmed by the u. S. President as well as weve been following this story the i. R. G. C. In iran said that it is in retaliation to the killing of qassam silly money and they almost timed it to the time of death where the americans fired missiles at us im still in money since then weve been hearing reports of of damage material damage but no casualties as yet weve heard from some iraqi officials fearing that there might be some iraqi casualties but now as day breaks things are expected to become clear we also heard from the Prime Minister of the kurdish region Masoud Barzani who said that hes spoken to the u. S. Secretary of state and suggested some suggestion made some suggestions for deescalation after these attacks so this is what iraq had been anticipating what iraqis had been fearing and expecting and the Iraqi Government saying that it does not want to get bogged down it does not want to grab get dragged into this war between the United States and iran many iraqis who weve been speaking to were afraid of this and it seems to have happened it is interesting that we have heard from all sides weve heard from the iranians the americans the kurds but the government that we have not heard from if the Iraqi Government the last communication from the Iraqi Government has been the problems to spoke to the cabinet saying that the only way forward for iraq to go or get out of this crisis is if international and foreign troops leave iraq east or summer. In baghdad thank you for that update. Just before we take a break there is another development out of iran to tell you about this is a ukrainian airplane Ukranian InternationalAirlines Plane that has crashed near the airport in teheran a mom khomeini airport crashed after takeoff so says a spokesperson for irans civil Aviation Authority. 170 or ive seen other boats a 180 passengers and crew on board it is a boeing 737 plane not one of the max jets which weve seen in previous crashes of course this is i believe a 737800 which was perhaps 3 years old so very little detail at the moment but we know its a Ukrainian International games plane its a boeing 737 its crashed after taking off from tehran airport and there were up to 180. 00 people on board more on that and when we get it lets grab a break shall we so much more to come though Global Markets are reacting to the unrest in iraq Oil Prices Surging more than 3. 00 a barrel well be talking about that with our economics editor in just a minute.
