From irans capital killing more than 170 people and this sounds former chief makes his 1st public appearance since skipping bail in japan ahead of his trial on on the allegations of financial misconducts out in sport saudi armaan a has been named africas footballer of the year the liverpool forward becoming just the 2nd senegalese player so when the continental price. Whether iran has struck back at the u. S. For the assassination of its Top Commander soleimani and its making clear what happens next depends on donald trump there on far more than a dozen missiles from its territory into a base hosting u. S. Forces in iraq the. Base so. In Anbar Province there and the same time missiles also hit a base up in erbil iran says iraq rather says 22. 00 missiles were fired its also and there were no iraqi casualties now the u. S. President donald trump has only responded to the attacks on twitter saying all is well we are expecting a statement from him in the coming hours and iran strikes are in retaliation for the killing of solomon e n a u. S. Airstrike last friday he was buried in his hometown of kerman just hours after the strikes by iran on wetten say that we have a team of correspondents across this story simona fold scene is in iraqs capital a White House Correspondent kimberly how cats will have more on president trumps reaction and dorsetshire bari will have all the latest from the iranian capital but we begin our coverage with what matheson and this reports. This is irans promised response to the u. S. Assassination of top iranian general Hossam SoleimaniBallistic Missiles soaring into the night sky there target an Iraqi Military base housing thousands of u. S. Soldiers the iranians are taking the core of the 2 hit. Directly they wouldnt even leave their proxies to deliver the message that the americans. Kind of saving face were for them because killing soleimani. Is an insult from the americans to iranian establishment to Iranian State all and therefore i think youre ronnie and has to retaliate on twitter this was us president Donald Trumps response all is well hes added casualties and damage are being assessed and said so far so good hes also said the u. S. Has the most powerful and well equipped military anywhere in the world. By far the question is whether that military will be used to retaliate against these attacks u. S. Troops are based at the alena sadir base in iraq one of 2 talking its hit by missiles ever since president scuttled the there has been a steady. Escalation and that either side can afford to give in because the look weak the leaders of both sides have committed to this escalation and its hard to see how it how it gets you know where they are i dont want the u. S. Says its killing of qassam so monny in an airstrike was in response to an attack in iraq in which a u. S. Contractor died and for which the u. S. Blames iran and iran huge crowds have been in mourning. And demanding revenge for so moneys death an immediate diplomatic solution to the crisis seems unlikely. Both sides have to be really through engage in diplomacy and right now i fear that i do not see that i do not see either side the iranian or the american willing to do the things necessary to engage in diplomacy. Iran wants u. S. Forces to permanently leave the gulf region and it says there will be a harsh response to any further u. S. Retaliation rob matheson al jazeera. Irans president says revenge that would see the u. S. For states over the middle east. Thats soleimani as ease him on all. The. Money juice all his revered had been his body had videos and pictures the revenge for vets is to force america out of this region the real revenge of the ultimate response by regional nations as we america is expelled from this region and its head of aggression is counsel for eva. Marie is live from tehran or so its been a busy day in iran just give us a sense of the political reaction 1st. Well weve had a number of ministers who have spoken following that weekly Cabinet Meeting that president rouhani was just speaking at right to we heard from the defense minister the foreign minister a number of advisors to the president to all expressed essentially the same sentiment that this was within irans right to carry out these strikes on the u. S. Airbase in iraq we also just recently in the past few minutes heard from the reigning foreign minister Mohammad Javad zarif who was this it ing the Iraqi Embassy here in tehran he spoke to reporters and he said that the rain ians gave the Iraqi Government and military warning advanced warning that they were going to carry out these airstrikes on or these missile attacks on the u. S. Airbase in iraq he said that this was a within the they were iranians understanding to respect iraqi sovereignty and short while ago the foreign minister also spoke at the care following the weekly Cabinet Meeting lets hear of some of what he had to say there. People said very clearly that if the United States takes any of that action it on viewed respond accordingly and we would respond in a very harsh way but proportionately very we did not start this process of escalation the United States raged an economic war against iran the United States has to come to its senses the presence of iranian people in the streets of many cities unprecedented in the history europe can play a useful role by informing the United States of the serious error in their analysis that they should stop listening to clowns that they should base their policy based on realities and not some evolutions of some clowns who have ambitions of strength. And also the Supreme Leader has also igs addressed his followers and notable really because he was very cool seeing someone money well what does he have to say. Yes the Supreme Leader was speaking at a scheduled event in the capital and he spoke on the occasion of a the uprising in the holy city of call just prior to the revolution in 1979 and he used this opportunity to reference the latest events that have unfolded he said that the general was more than just a figure who is much more important than people realize he said this is just the beginning to avenge his death the that the missile strikes on the u. S. Air base in iraq are just a slap in the face this is just an indication of whats to come and that there is much more military action on the way from iran is so we get a sense that this is really the 1st step in a long term effort or a Long Term Plan by the iranians serous spawn to the death of us im sorry monte because this is assassination is being has been viewed as really a personal attack not only on the establishment but on the entire nation this is the sense that weve had on here over the past few days a nation still in mourning very much even though he was laid to rest early hours of morning also to note that the missiles were launched around the same time overnight that some southern money was hit by an airstrike in baghdad so all these measures are being taken symbolically as well to commemorate this man and his efforts for this country and we have heard from many analysts who say that how the United States responds in the next 24 hours we very very critical in this ongoing conflicts ok. Life for us in the iranian capital thank you. Well lets head to our White House Correspondent. Is standing by spring has all the reaction from the u. S. Kimberly were hearing that the u. S. Has been slapped according to its own harmony the ball is now in americas courts will sort of reaction are we expecting from president trump. Well were expecting of course that message that the president promised that he would make in the morning but its not clear what time in the morning it is morning now here in the United States and so were watching very carefully for any indications from the white house of when this address might come down from the president the latest word im hearing is that all the reporters here really have not had any information so far so a big question mark on that but what we do know the challenge will be for the u. S. President is to explain why exactly he has done what hes done with regard to the killing of general solo money and also what this means moving forward because up until now this president has been a president s been embroiled in domestic controversies impeachment and hes very good at combating with his domestic adversaries but the foreign adversary is a skill set that he is not fully mastered take for example some of the conflicting messages that have come out of this administration with respect to the relationship with iran in recent days initially this white house saying that there was a need to kill general solomonic because of the threat to imminent threat to americans but in recent days they have been saying that this was more an act because there was this need for retribution for decades of malign activity in the broader middle east and also towards americans so a foggy message coming from this president one that he will need to make some clarity on for the American People because you remember that in all of this americans have an enormous amount of war fatigue they have seen soldiers coming back injured and even killed for now a generation this is a president that made a Campaign Promise that he would end what he called the forever wars and now hes sending troops to the middle east that will come believe we have been hearing from the defense secretary secretary of states theyre claiming that theyve taken the sanction against somani but they want to escalation its not a message thats being broadly repeats its among those who are advising the president. Well certainly those advice and the president have been using that message but the u. S. President himself less than 24 hours ago was threatening iran with very strong action and this is part of that conflicting message coming out of the trumpet ministration his advisors looking for room for negotiation but the president not so much now the u. S. Congress is expected to be briefed on all of this because they are also trying to make sense of the conflicting messages in fact we know that some of the top Democratic Senators have sent a letter to the department of defense saying in fact that theres deep concern over the lack of information from the department of defense we know those briefings will take place but today but in the midst of all of that there are supporters on capitol hill of the president s namely senator Lindsey Graham who has been speaking out saying that the president s actions have been justified because of the aggression by iran. The missiles were launched from iran targets inside of iraq housing u. S. Military personnel the president has all the Authority Needs under article 2 degrees spawn and how our response is yet to be determined but he has the authority to respond it was an act of war by a regime for the last 40 years spin a cancer in the mideast when they say they want to destroy israel theyre not kidding theyre the largest state sponsor of terrorism. So the challenge now for us President Donald Trump as he is now essentially a wartime leader is to communicate his actions his explanations to the American People again watching very carefully for when that will come down that time still not has has still not been released ok for now. Kimberly hawk is live for us at the white house and i thank you very much indeed for the view from the u. S. Weve heard from iran of course caught in the mid so is iraq where we travel now to some one of 14 is live in baghdad smaller. The iraqi Prime Minister has been speaking after those airstrikes by iran what more could. Indeed the Prime Ministers Office Released a statement earlier today explaining the course of events saying that they had received a call from iran just minutes before the attacks began or just as they were unfolding in fact informing them that iran would be striking targets on iraqi soil at the same time they also received calls from american officials here informing them that they were already being hit so it appears that iraq did not know in advance about these vitaly atory attacks the Prime Minister also went on to condemn the strikes he said that all parties should respect iraqi sovereignty and that he would continue his efforts to try to deescalate this. Now of course many people will be comparing his comments now to his reaction in the wake of the u. S. Strikes that killed so in money on iraqi soil as well as. This who is the 2nd in charge of the Iraqi PopularMobilization Forces his statement at that time was much stronger he called it an aggression on the iraqi state he called on the basically the withdrawal of foreign troops subsequently from iraq so it remains to be seen whether there will be further condemnation of the will there will be further action but weve already heard for example some sunni parliamentarians condemn the governments stance saying that it is a weak position and that the government has done has not done enough to protect iraqi sovereignty and to take a strong stance in this crisis and some or not has become something of a battleground as an order in the fight between the u. S. And iran are ordinary iraqis reacting to this how worried are these because lets not forget in the months and weeks running up to this they have been protesting. That is true and we have seen a growing amount of concern from the side of iraq since this crisis began escalating with 1st the u. S. Strikes on the hezbollah brigade positions that killed 27 fighters then we had the attack of the Popular Mobilization forces on the American Embassy and subsequently we had the u. S. Strikes that killed soleimani and now were having iran targeting iraqi bases where u. S. Personnel are stationed so there is a feeling on the street that these tit for tat attacks are escalating and that it is just a matter of time until there will be iraqis losing their lives until they will be caught up in this and essentially become called out are all damaged in this this is a country that has been caught up in the wars for much of the past 4 decades people were hoping following the defeat of iceland 2017 that they could finally look to the future that they could finally try to build the country and come out of this war and now it appears again that they will once again be caught up in a conflict that they did not choose some wonderful to live in the iraqi capital thank you. Well given the on saracens say some airlines have canceled their flights to to home while others have regretted their planes so avoid it raining airspace u. S. Federal Aviation Authority has banned American Airlines for flying in the airspace above iraq iran and the gulf of a man says there is a potential for miscalculation or misidentification. Israels Prime Minister has warned that anyone who tries to attack his country will be hit hard Binyamin Netanyahu emphasized that he fully supports the United States actions. Acting swiftly boldly and resolute against this. Was the architect. Of. The middle east and throughout the world. Is very. Still completely. Well the European Union has called for restraint its head of Foreign Policy had this to say on their Current Situation but today is their 1st full day. And also has implications for the work of the polish. Relations rocket attack on air bases in iraq used by u. S. And Equality Forces among them utopian forces yet another example of a scale ation and increased confrontation. Well lets break this down there with marwan bashar he is of course aljazeera senior political analyst and joins me now on set marwan whats the reaction from all corners of the region when we heard from a company he was talking about a slap on the face of the United States do you think that attack on those air bases which the iraqi Prime Minister said he was warned about it in advance was that a slap in the face or a slap on the rest is. Probably more of the its a great way of putting it was more like a slap on the wrist especially that they did to the iraqis and by that telling the americans and thats why the americans ducked in the you know underground as it were but when the iranians can sell it or the iranian t. V. Can sell it as 80 americans were killed in the strike when the americans are saying 0 people were killed in the strike. You can also look at it as if you can escalate rhetorical e. You know why escalate on the ground because if the iranian people now hear raney and state television say look we stop them in the face with killed 80 percent of them 8080 of them for each one of us because carson saleman he will kill 80 i think thats probably good enough for a lot of people thats why i think that the bluster and rhetoric and the slap in the face and that we will do this on the other thing is the moment were living in when it comes to action i think its going to be far more decaffeinated than anyone expect so teeth in terms of a reaction because like you say i mean they might try and say this was 80 waiting on figures coming f
