I know everyone from greece, rizzo, danny, enchie, sandy. Torme more get very far this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota, lets go places. We all need a laugh but now is not the time. Breaking news overnight you may be waking up this morning wondering whats going on. Thats where we begin. Irans Supreme Leader said his countrys revenge against the u. S. Is not over after irans First Military retaliation for the killing of general Qassem Soleimani. But the countrys foreign minister said iran does not seek escalation. Iranian tv says this video shows Ballistic Missiles fired at u. S. Locations in iraq last night. More than a dozen missiles were fired at bases last night. President trump tweeted last night all is well after the attacks and boasted we have the most powerful and wellequipped military anywhere in the world by far. Add together tension, a ukraine passenger jet crashed outside irans capital killing all 176 passengers on board. There were canadians on board but no americans. No word this crash is related to the missile attacks. We have a team of correspondents covering the crisis in the middle east. We begin with holly williams. Was anyone hurt in the Iranian Missile strikes, holly . Reporter good morning, well it is now day time here in iraq. Time to assess the damage done by this barrage of Iranian Missiles. Iraqs military says that it suffered no casualties and remember, they work very closely with american troops here, but so far theres been no official word from the u. S. Side. The missiles streaked across the night sky, shattering the peace at around 2 00 a. M. Local time. Iran making good on its threat of revenge. The main target al asaad base covers 20 square miles and is home to around 1,500 u. S. And coalition troops. President trump visited the base in 2018 with this message for iran. And to protect u. S. Interests and also to always watch very closely over any potential reformation of isis and also to watch over iran. Well be watching. Reporter to the north, the air base has been important in the fight against isis. We visited several times. Its home to u. S. Personnel and aircraft. This is apparently one on of the missiles that iran launched but it landed in a town 30 miles away from the air base. Local reports say there were no casualties. The roughly 5,000 troops here in iraq were already on high alert. They paused their operations against isis, fearing retaliation after President Trump ordered the assassination on a Baghdad Street of iranian general Qassem Soleimani. Just hours before the missile attack we met with general abdul kareem halif, military spokesman for iraqs Prime Minister. He told us he was fearful that his country would become a battlefield for iran and the United States. Today that frightening prospect looks one step closer. In a part of the world that is unstable and ravaged by wars, the question now is how the u. S. Will respond. Tony. Holly williams for us in baghdad. Thank you very much. To find out how the United States could react to the missile strikes lets go to david martin at the pentagon for us. David, good morning. What actions can we expect the u. S. To possibly take . Reporter there are basically two courses of action here that the president could take. One is military retaliation, and the u. S. Has more than enough fire power in the area to do that. It would be b52s in the region, it has an aircraft carrier, it has scores of war planes at bases in the per shan gulf and it has ships armed with cruise missiles. But the other course of action is to basically call this a one and done. The u. S. Launched a drone strike which killed irans general, Qassem Soleimani. Iran retaliated and most of the missiles struck the base from which those drones that killed soleimani took off. So you can call it even. Although, if you do that, President Trump would have to flip the script on many of the threats hes made that if iran tried anything, he would pay a very big price. Yesterday officials said what happens next is up to iran. Today, what happens next is up to the u. S. David, thank you. Its all very unsettling. Thank you so much. President trump plans to address the nation this morning. Paula reed is at the white house with more on that. Have you heard what time he expects to address us and what do we expect to hear from the reporter we do not have a time, gayle, but this is significant because this will be the president s first public response to the retaliatory strikes. Though last night he tweeted reassuring americans that, quote, all is well. But hours before the strikes the president issued a warning to tehran to stand down. He told reporters if iran did anything they shouldnt be doing they would suffer the consequences and strongly, but its unclear what that would entail. Cbs learned last night the president was here at the white house with his National Security teaman including Vice President mike pence and secretary of state mike pompeo and mark esper and robert obrien. Pompeo has been the main voice in the defense of the strike that killed soleimani. He has long advocated for aggressive action in the region and championed the strongest maximum Pressure Campaign in history against iran. But as the president addresses the nation today hes walking a fine line with his base. He campaigned on a promise to pull the u. S. Out of these socalled forever wars. And so far he has not shared the evidence that prompted this escalation with iran. The president plans to speak at 8 00 pacific time. Well bring it to you live, of course, in a cbs news special report. Iran launched the missiles shortly after general soleimani was buried in his hometown. Elizabeth palmer is in tehran for us. What do we expect next from iran . Reporter good morning. The clear message coming from the leadership is that theyre done, at least for now. And that the missile strikes were a specific retaliation for Qassem Soleimanis death. A news agency close to the revolutionary guards is claiming that 80 u. S. Military personnel were killed and 200 wounded, although they provide no evidence. Irans Supreme Leader described the strikes as a slap in the face of america. Now theyre waiting. The ball is firmly in the u. S. s court. After a meeting of irans cabinet this morning i sked irans foreign minister about moving to reduce the tension. What would it take to get deescalation going . It is up to the United States to now come to its senses and stop its adventurism in this region. Reporter inevitably some hard liners led crowds in chants of death to america as soleimani was laid to rest this morning. But iranians ive spoken to are very worried. Theyve been suffering badly from sanctions and really dread a war. One thing were seeing clearly today is the iranians larger strategic play. They would love to have u. S. Forces out of the iraq so they can expand their influence across the region and they do believe this is the moment they may actually achieve that. Anthony. Thank you, liz. Cbs news senior National Security contributor michael morale was acting and Deputy Director of the cia. Thank you for being here. Yorgood morning. Were getting conflicting information on the attack, saying its over, but the foreign minister saying they took conclusive measures. Theres also question of how effective the attack has been. What do you think . I think we have to divide this into the overt war between the two of us. Our killing of Qassem Soleimani, their response last night, and the covert war. I think the overt war from the iranian perspective is over. I think direct attacks from iran on American Forces is over for now, depending on what the president does. I think whats not over is the covert war. And i still think that down the road we will see an iranian terrorist attack against a senior official. So i think you can parse their language into those two buckets, overt covert. Michael, conflicting information too about the casualties. U. S. Officials say no casualti s casualties. Elizabeth said in iran theyre reporting 80 were killed, two injuries. Who do we believe . Im sure there were no casualties, because wed be hearing from the u. S. Military if there were casualties. I think what we see in iran is them saying, we hit back and we hit hard, and there were casualties. And that allows them to deescalate. So i think theyre sending us a message here that, in terms of direct attacks, this is done for now. But still, as david martin pointed out, it depends on what we do next and what the president decides to do in response. On that question, michael, over the weekend the president tweeted if iran attacks an american base or any American Well send our brand new beautiful equipment there, it appears he means missiles, without hesitation. This was a base with americans in it. Does it rise to the level of attack that the president spelled out would yield a response . It does. It fits his red line, but his tweet last night was suggestive that maybe he wants to deescalate here. Well see this morning, you know, what he has to say this morning will be incredibly important as to the next steps. We do have an opportunity to deescalate. We have an opportunity for the president to say, they threw their best punch at us and, you know, we took it without any casualties. So theres an opportunity here for both sides to deescalate. Theres reports of a dozen missiles being fired to a layperson that sounds like a lot is it . No, theres not. And the casualties, where they directed them. The small number of missiles is important to me, they have thousands of missiles. The fact they did a dozen was they wanted to be proportional here, they wanted to send a message they dont want to escalate. In terms of the precision of missiles, iran has all sorts of michigans, some a missiles, some are precise, some arent. Until we know what kind of missiles they shot, i dont think we can answer the question whether they deliberately tried to miss buildings and housing sites, et cetera. As was pointed out by david martin, we attacked soleimani, they attacked the base that launched the attack on soleimani, you can call it even at this point. What advice do you think the cabinet is giving President Trump at this moment . I hope theyre giving the advice this is the opportunity to step back from the precipice of war. Lets not retaliate. Lets call it even and lets actually look for an opportunity, through an intermediary, to say to the iranians, look, we came close to war here, maybe its time to sit down and negotiate what our future relationship is going to look like. Thats what i would try to do. Thank you very much. I know well be talking to you in the days to come. We are following new developments in the investigation into the overnight plane crash in iran. Officials say there were no survivors there. Unverified video from iranian tv appears to show the Ukraine International Airlines Flight on fire before it went down in a field just after takeoff on the citys outskirts. 176 people were on board. Chris vancleave is following this story. What have you learned so far, chris . Good morning. Good morning. A lot of Unanswered Questions here. The boeing 737 was less than three years old it was not a 737 max. The airlines said the plane was in good working order and flown by one of the most experienced crews. Take this with the skepticism but iranian officials are indicating a mechanical issue, possibly an engine fire may have brought down flight 752. It happened hours after iran attacked two u. S. Military bases in iraq. Most on board were iranian and two canadians. What happened happened fast. Video shows flames and debris scattered across a field. Crews have reportedly found the black boxes but iran will not give boeing access to them. The route is popular with iranian students the boeing 737 generally has a strong safety record. This morning boeing calls it a tragic event saying our thoughts are with the crews family. Given the tensions with iran, this will not be a normal investigation. Just prior to the crash the faa restricted u. S. Flights from using airspace over iraq, iran and areas in the middle east, several airlines including air canada are also now avoiding that airspace. Republicans and democrats are digging in ahead of the impeachment trial, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said hes ready and has the votes to begin but that cant happen until Speaker Nancy Pelosi passes over the articles of impeachment. She said she wont do that until mcconnell accomplishes a resolution explaining the rules of the trial. President trump was impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of congress. Hes accused of using his office to pressure ukraine to investigate joe biden. Multiple witnesses backed up those charges with testimony.
