u.s. targeted a member of an iranian proxy group during a drone strike in baghdad. we will have much more on the tensions in the region. only 11 days until iowa, and tonight voters in the state will pose tough questions to two candidates in back-to-back cnn town halls. we will have a live preview for you. we are following these developing stories and more coming into cnn news central. ♪ ♪ ♪ right now, we are watching major developments in the middle east as fears of an all out war in the region continue to grow. the terror group, i.s.i.s., has now claimed responsibility for two deadly blasts in iran. these have been wednesday at a memorial for military commander qasem soleimani on the fourth anniversary of his death. the explosions killing more than 80 people and injuring nearly 300.

also today, miss roe's defense minister telling u.s. officials that time is running out for a diplomatic deal with as well on its northern border with lebanon. a senior hamas theater was buried today in lebanon. he was killed on tuesday in a suspected israeli strike in beirut. in the meantime in iraq, a drone strike today killing the commander of an iran-backed militia in baghdad. defense officials telling cnn that the member of an iranian proxy groups with, quote, u.s. blood on his hands, was the target. we are covering all these developments the way only cnn can. let's start with nick robertson on i.s.i.s. claiming responsibility for those twin blasts in iran. nick, what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, i.s.i.s. is saying they killed 300 people that they described as polly atheist. iran is a majority shia country. i.s.i.s. is a sunni organization, ultra extremist sunni organization, that targets shia muslims.

i.s.i.s. has a record of targeting iranians. why would they target the memorial for soleimani, because they saw soleimani as one of the architects of iran's efforts to go after, to be part of a coalition going after i.s.i.s.. so there is a rationale behind i.s.i.s.'s claims. they have also -- this also fits their m.o. of targeting large gatherings of civilians and killing and maiming lots of innocent civilians. so this fits there and oh. it does not fit the m.o. of israel's operations, where they have very specific and clear identify targets killed with a minimum of collateral thymic. -- collateral damage. where i.s.i.s.'s claim differentiate from what iran is saying, obviously the number is different, iran is saying the death toll is now at 84. it's not unusual prices to overestimate and overstate the debt claim at 300, but they are

also saying it was perpetrated by two suicide bombers. that is often the way i.s.i.s. perpetrates attacks, but just yesterday the iranian authorities were saying that the first of the two bombs was in a suitcase, and that it was remotely detonated. so far, ices has not put forward concrete evidence to support their claim, but the m.o. of the rationale, the style of attack, it all fits i.s.i.s.. it also fits their propaganda style to overstate their claims. >> nic robertson, thank you for that report. i want to bring in cnn's jeremy diamond live in tel aviv for us. jeremy, what more can you tell us about this morning from the israeli defense minister? that time is running out on diplomacy with hezbollah on its border with lebanon. >> reporter: an intense round of american diplomacy is currently underway. a special envoy for president biden meeting today with israel's defense minister, as well as israeli prime minister just yesterday. the lebanese foreign minister

meeting with national security council officials at the white house. so the effort here is to try and prevent this situation at the israel lebanon border, where we have seen exchanges of fire between the israeli military and hezbollah voices over the last couple of months. to try and prevent that from escalating into a wider conflict. there is also, beyond that, in effort underway to try and establish a longer term solution to this problem, and that was really the focus of what we heard from the israeli defense minister as he sat down with president biden on savoie. saying israel needs a new security reality and its northern border, where about 80,000 israelis have been displaced from their homes. the israeli government is very much under pressure from those civilians to allow them to return back to that area at the lebanese border. today, europe gallant, the defense minister, making very clear that while israel prefers a diplomatic solution to the problem, it ultimately cannot

tolerate these threats from hezbollah. they are pointing at the possibility of a military escalation if there is not a diplomatic resolution to this. he ultimately said that the window is closing for that diplomatic solution to indeed appear it materialize. certainly, there is this question right now of if there will be in escalation in the wake of the death of that top hamas official in a suburb of beirut, saleh al-arouri. for now at least it appears the situation is status quo as israel and hezbollah have continued to trade fire. so far, no signs of a broader escalation, but still a need for a broader diplomatic solution for this long term problem on both sides of the border. >> jeremy, that's a lot to read into from that message from the israeli defense minister. jeremy diamond from tel aviv. thank you so much. let's go to cnn's oren liebermann who's live for us at the pentagon. oren, talk to us about that drone strike in iraq that killed in iran-backed commander. >> reporter: it's worth

pointing out first that the fact we are talking about all of this together, what is happening in iran and in israel and in lebanon, and in iraq, shows how interconnected the region's. even as the u.s. and the prince secretary lloyd austin have tried to separate all these regions. frankly all of these conflicts as well. in light of all this, we are seeing the u.s. carried out a strike here, you can see the results here, in baghdad targeting a member of an iranian proxy that operates in iraq, but also in syria. the u.s. has not put out the name of who was targeted yet. they are waiting for a complete final battle damage assessment to see if there was anyone else killed in the attack, but the popular mobilization fund, an iranian-backed group that effectively speaks for a number of these organizations, said the commander of one of these organizations was killed. that the person the u.s. was targeting, -- one of their commanders was killed in the strike, as was his assistant.

what's interesting here is that this is the second time in just over a week that the u.s. has struck inside of iraq. the u.s. carried out strikes in iraq on december 25th, on christmas day, and it very much angered the iraq government when the following days said they would work to remove u.s. and coalition forces from the country. there's tremendous pressure on the iraqi government to do that. that is significant because iraq is part of where the u.s. has its anti ices efforts and only operate at the invitation of the iraqi government. if these attacks on iraqi forces in syria continue, they will take action. that is what we saw them do with this strike in baghdad. noteworthy that it is in the karate capital. we have not seen a response from iraq yet, but there is little doubt the iraqi government will be very angry about this, what they have called in the past a violation of iraqi sovereignty, as the united states has continued to say they are trying not to widen the conflict here, boris. >> oren liebermann live from

the pentagon. thank you so much. breonna? >> on top of this, the u.s. navy says early this morning iran-backed houthi rebels launched an unmanned surface drone against a shipping lane in the red sea. we talk more about this with retired air force colonel cedric leighton. today, of course, the united states killing the leader of a pro iranian militia in baghdad, cedric. what is the importance of this particular story? >> reporter: rihanna, this is very important because this pro arena proxy group was one of the major iranian groups that was actually fighting i.s.i.s., but also is postured to go after the u.s.. they are also controlling a large element of the iraqi government where they are hoping to hold it for political and military means. so these militias exercise a great deal of control over iraq, and this was a message for the u.s. not to attack u.s. forces in the country.

>> of course, that is where so many of the attacks are. you have seen so many on these shipping lanes, these commercial ships that the u.s. is fending off, hitting u.s. forces as well, responding to that. but so many of these strikes are really, as we take a look, centered in iraq here. >> reporter: they are. in fact, we have about three major bases in iraq right now and dozens of smaller bases, some of them forward operating base is. we also have some similar setup in syria. the big idea was to go after i.s.i.s. and to keep them under control. so the biden administration has continued that policy of trying to keep iceland wraps, in essence, but there's a lot of risk there because our presence then draws in these pro iranian militia groups to go after forces. >> according to u.s. officials, as we take a look at the strike in beirut, israel killed the senior hamas leader there in beirut, in lebanon, as we can

see the aftermath of course of the targeted strike here. it was rather targeted, we should say, so you have the u.s. and israel both killing militant leaders in the capital cities of sovereign nations in the region. what is the impact of this on regional tensions? >> this is a really big deal because normally you try to avoid attacking people in capital cities. but if those people are conducting operations or are planning operations against either the u.s. or israeli forces, they then become fair game. so when you look at the broader middle east right here, this is iraq right at the center of things. you have beirut and lebanon on, plus you have the attack that israel carried out near damascus earlier. so you have all of these things going on in these areas because these governments are not controlling these different militia groups. as a result of that, both the israelis and the americans feel like they have to go after

these groups in these areas, whether or not we are violating the sovereignty of any of these countries. >> we see the strike in iran right over there. i.s.i.s. now at this point in time claiming responsibility for the attack there. these bombings yesterday in iran. it was near the grave site up qasem soleimani. this was happening on the fourth anniversary of the trump administration killing that iranian military leaders. so we have prices of mostly shia proxies bombing iran. it's not directly connected to this israel-hamas war, or is it how you see it? >> it's basically true, it is not directly collected -- connected, however the enemy of my enemy is my friend. so they will go after these people. the u.s. and iran in a way or aligned against i.s.i.s. together, but the iranians are also against us because we support israel and they basically want israel to disappear from the face of the earth. so the iranians have a multi

facet effort going on here, at what they are trying to do is they are trying to project power throughout the arabian peninsula. and forces like i.s.i.s. are going to go after that because, first of all there's the religious aspect to it. i.s.i.s. is predominantly sunni. the iranians are predominantly shiite. that readjust -- religious schism between the groups has also affected the geopolitics of everything that we have in these areas right across the broader middle east. >> it has a different feel to it. right? as we are taken through this attack, you know, this attack, this attack, in different places. keeping track, even as we go through of who is doing what, it has a feel of an expansion. >> absolutely. it's kind of like over 100 years ago, when everyone was worried about the balkans, and it ended up being the tinderbox that set off world war i. this basically could be the same kind of thing. the middle east has done this

before. the big issue for the various regional powers, as well as the great global powers, is do you really want to fight a major conflict in these areas? you have a russian presence in iran, syria. you have american presence throughout these areas. plus, you have localized presents from iran, saudi arabia, the iraqis themselves of course. you have all these different forces and different alignments that are happening here can be very fleeting at times. we support a lot of these regimes in the areas. these regimes are on thin ice when it comes to popular support in the ability to control their operations, as well as their ability to handle the diplomatic efforts that need to go on in order to stop things like the war in gaza. >> it's alarming to look at the map. colonel, thank you so much taking us through these we appreciate it. boris?

terrifying return to school for a midwest community. a shooting in iowa involving multiple gunshot victims. according to a local sheriff. at this hour he is not saying if any of them have died or detailing the extent of anybody's injuries. the school is 40 miles from des moines. the sheriff of dallas county did confirm that the threat is now over. saying that authorities have also identified the gunman. law enforcement sources tell cnn that the shooter is in fact dead. one mother talked about how she learned of the danger. listen to this. >> it was a text message this morning from my daughter and it was after the [inaudible] [crying] one of the worst moments of my entire life. my best phone call was the one saying they were okay. >> aaron polish is live for us in iowa. ignorant, what do we know so far about what happened during the shooting? it started before classes had even started right?

>> that is right, boris. before classes started today. 7:37 am local time. law enforcement officers received word that the shooting incident was going on at paris high school, just behind me. they reported to the scene multiple law enforcement agencies from all around the state, from des moines, polk county, green county, county, reporting to the state as you mentioned. multiple gunshot victims here at the high school. the shooter has been -- it's been reported that the shooter has been killed. he is dead. we -- are affiliate kcci spoke with the stepmother of a student at paris high school who said that her stepson was grazed by a bullet during the shooting today. let's take a listen to that sound. >> what happened here?

>> i just know he got grazed by a bullet. that's all i know. i just found. out i didn't know. >> is this your son? >> it's my stepson, basically. did he show you the wound? >> he shouted. me i just saw it and it started bleeding again and i just want to get him checked out. >> okay, this is a nightmare, right? >> this is absolutely a nightmare. >> now, as for the scene here, it is pretty calm right now. a lot of law enforcement on the ground here. the scene is well under control. law enforcement are expecting brief media later today on any details that we may learn about what they said this morning. there is still many many questions to be asked about the perpetrator of this act, about the victims, the state of those victims. and we will bring those reports to you as we learn them. boris? >> we hope to get some answers from law enforcement later this

afternoon. erin polish live for us in paris, iowa. thank you so much. still to come on news central, and a report that china spent millions of dollars of trump properties while he was in office. that's raising some serious questions about possible efforts to influence the former president. >> it is just hours before back to back cnn town halls with governor, ron desantis, and former governor, nikki haley. the gloves are coming off here. plus, the jeffrey epstein docks are dropping and so are the names. what these unsealed papers are revealing so far as the next batch of documents could be coming out anytime. >> thehe cnn r republicann prpresidentialal town hallll, le toninight at cnnnn. >>

we have some new information showing the trump organization raked in millions of dollars from the chinese government when donald trump was president. the beijing government and several entities that, if controlled, spent more than five and a half million dollars at trump properties while he was in office. that is the largest some paid to trump's businesses by any single foreign country known to date. >> this is all according to financial documents obtained by democrats on the house oversight committee. we have to point out that trump had a chinese bank account during his first year in the white house. an account which we did not know existed until late into the 2020 campaign. cnn's zak cohen joins us now on

this. zak, walk us through what's in the documents. >> these are documents from the former accounting firm. they do show new details about who was paying trump's various properties for things like apartments and hotel rooms and rooms room service while he was in the white house. normally a president divests themselves once they are elected and they enter office. trump refused to do that for this reason -- one of the biggest payments we saw in these documents was there was 20 countries where they came from. the biggest total came from china where five point $5 million was paid to various trump properties in las vegas, washington d.c. and new york. within that china, group the biggest contributor of payments there was a state owned bank that was a tenant of trump's for several years in trump tower in new york. look, the reason this is concerning and the reason it's written in the constitution as something a president should do is because if you're right

about influence, foreign countries trying to influence foreign policy in the u.s. by buttering up presidents with gifts and money. house democrats raised that concern in this report. the trump administration, the organization says, look the former president didn't do anything wrong. actually he donated profits that were made from foreign countries. but a lot of uncertainty there. it's only a snapshot of the payments that were made to trump while he was president. >> what happens next? where does this go? >> it's a great question. we've been talking about this since trump was running for president. when he made it clear that he was not going to divest himself, congress has tried to get to the courts to enforce the clause of the constitution to try to figure out a way that he could hold him accountable and enforce these mechanisms where the president can't just take money from a foreign country, even through his businesses or directly. democrats are probably going to try to pass some legislation but that has failed pretty

consistently here in the past. so it's an open question. can they enforce it? can they address the issue? obviously donald trump is the -- republicans are accusing joe biden of something very similar without providing nearly the amount of documentation that democrats have related to trump. >> the distinction is, what house republicans provided about joe biden was when he wasn't in office. this is when he was in office that he was benefiting off of chinese companies. so in the meantime, the legal team is asking the federal judge in the election subversion case to sanction the special counsel jack smith. they argue that smith violated the judges stay order by continuing to submit files. >> cnn chief legal affairs correspondent, paula reid, here with us for this. paula, what more are you learning about the file? >> the trump team is not happy the jack smith had his staff working through the holidays, making filings. this is the federal election

subversion case. it is officially on hold. the judge, judge tanya chutkan, has paused all substantive proceedings. the trump team now has responded to this by filing their own motion, asking for the prosecutors to be, quote, substantially sanctioned here. jack smith? fully aware of what he's doing. he even said in his filings, look, i know this is on hold, but i want to bring this case to trial before the 2024 election. right now it's on pause while these larger constitutional questions about possible immunity are being litigated. he hopes that will eventually be resolved in his favor and then, if he has all his ducks in a row, maybe they can push forward with the trial sooner. that is not the way that the trump team sees it. he is arguing that he's trying to score cheap political points for these continued filings. they argue he's turning the docket. basically the place where the filings and up where they wait for the judge into the arm of the biden campaign. now it's up to judge tanya chutkan to figure out what to

do here. does she tell this pencil council to knock it off? does she let them continue filing? she's not making any decisions they are to sort of stacking up. they previously expressed a desire not to delay the case. it's something you rarely hear with federal judges. they usually say it's going to trial. i'm curious to see what she does. here obviously there's no love lost between the trump lawyers in the special counsel team, but filing a motion to argue about filing a motion, that is where we're at right now, guys. i don't know how it's going to resolve. >> it's like arguing about how to argue. >> arguing that it's all political. that is like the crux of the trump legitimate legal defense. it's that, you know, he's a target of political persecution. saying that the other side is being political, look, it's part for the course for these two. >> paula, thank you for that. before they take cnn stage tonight, they are taking some serious swings. it is underway. here's ron desantis and nikki haley lobbing attacks at each other 11 days before the first

big gop test in iowa. >> a violent scene inside a nevada courtroom. you have to see this video, a defendant leaping to attack a judge after she denies him parole. the latest on this case when we come back.

♪ ♪ in just 11, days the first 2024 primary ballots will be cast in iowa. donald trump's chief rivals, former governor, nikki haley of south carolina, are going to take questions directly from iowans. for as part of their aggressive final push to sway any remaining undecided caucus goers, things are getting a little heated. haley recently made comments that seemed to downplay her chances in iowa. she joked, in new hampshire, that voters there would correct i's results.

ron desantis is now seizing on that today. watch this. >> you know iowa starts, it you know that you corrected, you know that you continue to go [applause] >> it was incredibly disrespectful to iowans to say that somehow their votes need to be corrected. i think she's trying to provide an excuse for her not doing well. >> let's dig deeper on the final sprint, with veteran pollster, frank. let's bring, -- thanks to -- good to see a. these two are focused on each other than the actual front runner. in your mind, is it a foregone conclusion that donald trump is gonna win iowa? >> it's a foregone conclusion. there is no other way. no one ever says never. but in iowa, donald trump is absolutely going to win and i will be watching to see if he gets more or less 50% of the vote. frankly, the fact that ron desantis and nikki haley are

going at each other so brutally is bad news for both of them in new hampshire. iowa sends a message, new hampshire nominates candidates and elects presidents. in that point, tonight's discussion, town hall, whatever you want to call, it is very important but it's not going to change the outcome come next week. it is going to change the outcome of new hampshire, at least it has the potential to do so. >> that's fascinating. so you're going to be watching whether trump eclipses the 50% mark. what about nikki haley and ron desantis? where would you put their numbers for their campaigns to show promise going into new hampshire and then south carolina? >> the promises anything over 20% and promises the person who comes in second. by the, way it doesn't matter if they come in second for by half a percent or 10%. in the second place finisher, you get a little bit momentum,

not a lot. because the conversation, quite frankly, is going to be a puddle trump's vote and whether any of them can overcome him in new hampshire. >> part of our audience tonight for these back-to-back town halls consists of undecided voters. i wonder what your sense is about where those voters are in iowa right now. or other many left and where might they be leaning? >> i don't know how you found them. they are hard to locate. usually they are in witness protection programs because they are that important. the issue with undecided voters is there is two kinds, there are kinds that like between -- they can't decide between them,. or the kind that dislike the candidates and can't figure out who is the lesser of two evils. in iowa, the opinions are made. up in new hampshire it is much more open. you will see that you asked me a question about iowa and i'm giving you a new hampshire answer because iowa is a foregone conclusion. what is not clear is what is going to happen eight days later. >> you recently held a focus

group, looking forward to the general election, about a dozen 2020 biden and trump voters. what was your biggest take away from that conversation? did you see anything that would give you insight into the general? >> the most important factor is, who is the third party candidate? who is the candidate endorsed by -- some other third-party organization? what we keep hearing among the undecided voters is that they don't like donald trump's behavior. they don't like joe biden's age and so it is -- on both houses. their question is, can a third party candidate truly be viable? is it someone they can vote for that could win? or is it just a spoiler? there is a lot of animosity towards both political parties because it feels like 2020 all over again. >> to any of the third party

candidates right now, or even folks that have been -- west virginia senator, joe manchin, to any of them to you appear like anything other than a spoiler? >> i think they all appear viable. you've got 70% of americans saying that they would consider vote for a third party if they felt that person could win. that's higher than any time in my lifetime. and i worked for rosboro in 20 -- 1992. i know what it is to have a viable third party candidate. they are looking for someone with experience other than washington d.c.. number three, they want to be told the truth. for any third party candidates that want to hit those three attributes, they are certainly viable. >> frank, one last question. i want to get your thoughts on new reporting that we have in our air about donald trump and his businesses making million

dollars from chinese state entities and other foreign firms. while he was in office, i heard things similar about house republicans about joe biden. they didn't provide proof that he profited from foreign businesses well in office. with that influence trump supporters? >> i've come to see that nothing influences trump's supporters. i have never seen a candidate with the intensity of donald trump. it is chinese money that is making donald trump rich on the side that is something that would upset republican voters. in fact, it would upset all voters. china is not anomie number one but they are not well liked. -- third making money on the side doing business in china, that will not be received well at all. >> we have to leave the conversation there. i always appreciate your insight. >> it's a privilege, thank. you >> another reminder,

governor ron desantis and nikki haley are going to take questions directly from iowa voters and back to back events tonight. cnn republican town hall is moderated by kaitlan collins and erin burnett, it lives -- airs live nine eastern on cnn. a trove of documents connected to jeffrey epstein have been unsealed, painting several prominent people in business and politics. what might we learn --

today we are expecting to find out about the vip is connected to the serial sex offender, jeffrey epstein. court documents of 40 filings were released yesterday and they confirmed earlier public accounts of the elite circles that he belonged to. court records mentioned among others, former president bill clinton and donald trump, and

philanthropist multibillionaire, bill gates. none of them have been accused of wrongdoing in this case. cnn has more on what these documents reveal about the associates of jeffrey epstein who died by suicide for trial in 2019. long-awaited documents finally released. the first batch of sealed court filings pertaining to the late sex offender, jeffrey epstein, were made public wednesday. the documents stemmed from a civil defamation lawsuit brought in 2015 against epstein's former girlfriend, ghislaine maxwell, prominent figures included prince andrew and former president, bill clinton and donald trump. included in a 2016 deposition -- she said in the document that she and epstein had a conversation, and quote, he said one time that clinton likes them young, referring to girls. when asked if clinton was a friend of epstein's she said she understood epstein had,

quote, dealings with clinton. clinton has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing related to epstein. and has denied any kind of criminal activity. but in 2019, he admits to having flown on epstein's private plane but knew nothing of the financiers, quote, terrible crimes. he also recalled the time that she was with epstein on one of his planes. pilots said he needed to land in atlantic city. jeffrey said great, we will call up trump and we will go to, i don't recall the name of the casino, but we will go to the casino. she said in the deposition that she never gave a massage to trump. this is the first reference to donald trump, but he is not accused of any wrongdoing. >> right now the only person who has been prosecuted is a woman, ghislaine maxwell, who certainly should be behind bars. but it was interesting that in this network of all this men who have been trafficking young women for decades, the only

person who has been prosecuted is a woman. there are many many other people who -- as well. >> the documents also contain excerpts of depositions taken -- previously reaching an out of court settlement in her sexual abuse lawsuit against prince andrew. she alleged in her deposition that maxwell directed her to have sexual contact with people, including former new mexico governor, bill richardson. prince andrew and tech guru, marvin penske. the attorneys for ghislaine maxwell said in a statement on wednesday that she consistently and vehemently maintained her innocence. this is the first set of documents to be unsealed under december 18th court order with more expected in the coming weeks. the documents are expected to include 200, names including some of epstein's accusers. prominent business people and politicians. >> thank you for that. now to some of the other

headlines that we are watching this hour. new video out of japan showing the incredible moment a woman is pulled from the rubble three days after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the country's west coast. the survivor's family watching on as he has pulled from the collapsed house. the quake has killed more than 80 people with dozens still missing. thousands of troops have been dispatched to the region to assist in rescue operations. in the meantime, biden's -- over the handling of the israel-hamas war. he was a policy adviser in the department of education, in a letter to the education secretary, he accused the administration of turning a blind eye to the atrocities of innocent palestinians. he is the second administration -- josh paul stepped down in october as the u.s. accelerated

latest. mike, this is wild. it really strikes me that part of this was a probation hearing and right before the attack this person was talking about how much he had changed and how much it was a different person. then he lunges at her. he was asking for probation. the video is crazy town. it is the textbook definition of nuts. to dive into what exactly happened here, as you wonderfully described the scene, when this is a judge that is relatively well known. judge mary kay told us is handling the trump nevada fake elector scheme. she is a veteran prosecutor turned judge and is handling this case for a man who is asking for probation yesterday morning. a three time felon. as his defense counsel is saying, you know what? our clients has rethought his life. he's going back to school. the judge says, you know? i'm looking at criminal history. domestic violence, attempted robbery, home invasion, i think

his condition was in o.k. state at our last check. and something else that we did not anticipate was that he was supposed to answer for these charges earlier today. he was supposed to go back into court. he refused to leave his jail cell. his next court date has been pushed back to tuesday of next week, brie and boris. >> that is unbelievable to watch. mike valerio. thank you for that. multiple people injured after a shooting at a high school in iowa. we are live from t the scene n t on cnn newews central.l.
