Lawmakers designating the u. S. Military a terrorist organization in response to the killing of top iranian general Qassem Soleimani. There are now reports the Trump Administration is denying irans foreign minister a visa to travel to new york ahid of a Security Council meeting on thursday. Cnn has not been able to confirm this. Huge crowds pack into his hometown for his burial this morning. President trump is standing by his decision to order the strike that killed soleimani. He should have been taken out a long time ago, and we had a shot at it, and we took him out. And were a lot safer now because of it. But questions persist over u. S. Claims that intel showed soleimani was planning an imminent attack on u. S. Interests. Joint chiefs chairman mark milly says very, very few people saw that intelligence adding it was imminent and it was very, very clear in scale and scope. A source tells cnn tough congressional leaders, the socalled gang of 8 are set to receive an iran briefing this afternoon. In iran we have our Senior International correspondent fred pleitgen. Hes in tehran, and he just spoke with the foreign minister javad zarif. What did he say, what did he tell you . Reporter he was till very much enraged at the killing of Qassem Soleimani who was pretty much the biggest general here in iran. And his burial as it took place this morning in his hometown and the latest reports were getting is apparently there was a stampede at that burial because there were so many people that were there and that a number of people apparently have been killed. Were going to continue to monitor that as well. I did speak to zarif earlier today as well, and he was ripping into President Trump, the Trump Administration and saying because of President Trumps action that people in the middle east are enraged at americas actions. Heres what he said. He is showing to the International Community he has no respect for international power, hes prepared to commit war crimes because attacking cultural sites is a war crime. A disproportionate response is a war crime, but he doesnt care about International Law. But has he made u. S. More secure . Do americans feel more secure . Thats the price for arrogance, for ignorance, for lack of respect. Their days in our region are numbered. Not because anyone will take any action against him but because they are not welcome. This is state terrorism. This is an act of aggression against iraq. And it amounts to an armed attack against iran and we will respond. The United States has to wake up to the reality that the people of this region are enraged, that the people of this region want the United States out. The United States has been in this region for many years and has not brought itself or the region any security. We leave it at that. One of the other things he also said, christine, was at this point in time he does not believe its even worthwhile speaking to President Trump and the Trump Administration under these current circumstances. And you heard it there he believes this is essentially the beginning of the end of americas presence in the middle east. But once again that vow by the foreign minister like so many other iranian leaders that iran is going to strike back at the u. S. , christine. Fred pleitgen for us in tehran. Excellent reporting, fred. Thank you. Defense secretary mark esper contradicting President Trump insisting the u. S. Will not target cultural sites in iran. The president has threatened do so twice now but secretary esper tells cnn we will follow the laws of armed conflict. Its a war crime to deliberately target cultural sites in a military operation, and the pentagon has a longstanding rule to avoid striking areas of cultural importance. The white house readying action against iraq if it expels u. S. Troops. The Washington Post reports u. S. Officials have started drafting possible sanctions on iraq which President Trump threatened over the weekend, adding to the uncertainty the top u. S. General says a letter suggesting america would withdraw troops from iraq was released by mistake but, quote, thats not whats happening. Live from baghdad, jumana . A lot of confusion when that letter began circulating late in the evening on iraqi media. You had u. S. Officials here in baghdad and also washington, d. C. Scrambling to try and explain this letter that was being portrayed in the media as the United States beginning its withdrawal from iraq. U. S. Officials saying that is not what the letter was saying although it does indicate the language in that letter does mention a withdrawal, does mention abiding by the decision of the iraqi parliament. What they said was they were notifying the iraqis there will be movement of troops, this is just repositioning of troops, that they will remain in the country, but theyre letting them know there will be some sort of activity, that this is standard procedure of letting them know. But there was really no explanation other than hearing from the joint chiefs of staff, general mark milly saying that this was an honest mistake, it was a poorly worded letter and it shouldnt have been released. But really they didnt explain why that language was used, why it would indicate any sort of withdrawal if that is not happening from the secretary of defense and yeneral milly saying there are no plans for withdrawal despite the fact the iraqis, the iraqi government, the Prime Minister seemed to be moving ahead with plans, drawing up plans to try and talk to Coalition Countries about leaving the country. And also the concern here is when the United States comes out so definitively saying they will not be withdraw sg the threat from iranian backed groups here if they do not leave the country. And all the questions about the chain of custody of that letter. How could this royal so much of this situation and just be released like that, this draft. So many questions. Thank you.

More than 3,000 Service Members many of them from fort bragg are heading overseas following the u. S. Air strike that killed general soleimani. Family members are understandably nervous.

Iran has been accused of shutting down Bank Websites and attacking american casinos in the past resulting in the loss of credit card information and Social Security numbers.

And did your boss i mean ambassador bolton tell you that giuliani was, quote, a hand grenade . Boltons willingness to testify gives Congressional Democrats a big potential boost but also ups the pressure on Senate Majority leader mcconnell to allow witnesses at the impeachment trial of President Trump. The senate has a unanimous bipartisan precedent for when to handle midtrial questions such as witnesses in the middle of the trial. If any Senate Republican poses issue s subpoenas to the four witnesses and documents weve requested, they would make it absolutely clear theyre participating in a coverup. At the same time a handful of key republican senators dodged questions on monday about whether theyd back a subpoena for bolton.
