a popular hero and close ally of the country's supreme leader. the his assassination was considered a declaration of war by many iranians. in the parliament cries of death to america it was supposed to show the 7 faction of the u.s. president is considered a military act of terrorism. the only thing you want to know the disadvantage will have painful consequences for you push within the ripple effects are being felt already the parliament in neighboring iraq has voted to end the u.s. military presence in the country some $5000.00 u.s. troops are stationed there on the streets of baghdad fears that instability will only get worse. as the savvy livid at the market is a horrific act miss fear they want us to live in chaos worse than what we live in now there will be more killings and the fight will move to iraq.

and in lebanon the around backed hezbollah militia threaten to hit american forces in the region a lot of the last kellyanne emily kiya american army bases battleships and every american soldier in a region countries and in our lands i mean the american army killed kassim solo money and the others and it is the americans who will pay the price is that they're not all that well let me say a tall sum and there's been no backing down on the american side in washington u.s. president donald trump threaten to hit tehran hard and fast if iran strikes he tweeted we have targeted 52 iranian sites representing the 52 american hostages taken by iran many years ago. that's a reference to the hospital crisis at the american embassy the fall of the 1979 iranian revolution a key event in the long running conflict between washington and tehran. the latest

developments have inspired protests in several american cities. it's a provocation toward dangerous and anybody who wants peace. but the widespread outrage in iran over solomon his assassination may leave the leadership little room to maneuver putting the country on a collision course with the u.s. . and for more insight on this we're joined now in the studio by middle east analyst daniel thanks for being here a lot of tough talk a lot of saber rattling how worried do we really need to be. i think we need to we need to be very worried this is a very difficult and a very dramatic situation though the americans say they don't want to enter into a direct into a hot war with iran and of course the iranians say they want to take revenge but

they don't want war war can very easily happen now at the moment if we look at the language that they use the rhetoric that's been used nobody no side wants to back down and at the moment i think the iranians have though they they are very tough and they're talking have somehow accumulated a lot of sympathy in the region also because what happened there happened in iraq and it's was a violation of iraqi sovereignty and the reunions were not very popular of quite recently in iraq but this act this violation of iraq of iraqi sovereignty by the u.s. has somehow closed the ranks between iranians and iraq and i think in the long term it's given iraq iran more leverage and more power over iraq and that is something maybe the white house didn't consider before that strike the american secretary of state make pump a i said that the strike is part of an overall strategy of peace and stability in the middle east and as you know better than i strategies are usually put forth in white papers and so on do you see any signs of an actual strategy here no i don't i see political goals the military goals which is to try to curtail iranian influence

wherever it is in the region but i don't consider that a strategy no i think this the problem here is that this administration doesn't really care about details doesn't really care about what's going on in the region they have put their money on a few horses they say our interest is defending israel our interest is defending saudi arabia the united arab emirates trade but that's it but they don't stay they refuse to deal with the complexity of the region and most importantly with the opinions and narratives of the other sides that they're in conflict with notably iran and that is part of the problem but i think they have they have openly admitted that they couldn't care less about it and that is i think part of the problem and i think the europeans and others have to deal with that if we could just look at what the iraqi parliament did voting to expel. all the american troops understand that's largely a symbolic gesture the government needs to do it in the prime minister's as an interim prime minister but surely that has consequences absolutely and i don't think it's a symbolic gesture i think it is a very important gesture and it's

a very consequential thing to do remember a few years ago the americans were instrumental along side with the iranians by the way to defeat isis it took a long time for them to deliver weapons to the iraqis to the kurds notably but also to the iraqi army it took a long time for them to intervene with the air force and that gave that gave the so-called islamic state a lot of opportunities to hold their ground and now it's going to be much more difficult to engage the if if i research is much more difficult for the alliance to be to be forged with the united states and i think in particular the kurds in the north very worried about the situation those as this is where many of them abstained from the vote today in the parliament i think it's a very very important move but the americans left no choice of the iraqi parliament but who in such a situation in such a violation of iraqi sovereignty would vote differently from what they actually did there was no chance of nato said it was going to suspend its training of iraqi

soldiers in the fight against isis is that going to hurt. i think so i think it's definitely a wrong move but of course the priority is the safety of the soldiers and not the political stability of iraq but i think it is a move that doesn't make things better in the region ok our middle east expert thanks for that thank you. we turn to venezuela now where a session of the national assembly has been held to try to elect a new leader replacing one why don't you for the past year of water use that position to declare himself venezuela's interim president in place of the incumbent nicolas maduro but on sunday why those rival luis parra declared himself the new leader of the national assembly the announcement was immediately disputed by some opposition lawmakers who called it a parliamentary kuku they said there were not enough part of an terence present for the vote to have any effect many had been prevented from participating in the session by police blocking access to the building and bill himself was one of them . and for more on this developing story we're joined by correspondent oscar

schlender in caracas oscar the national assembly it now has a new president it would seem what can you tell us about. well what is happening inside our own now it's all very confusing because the only information available is that state new names but we know we now know it was 3 forces were blocking the abscessed parliament and it was to have the excuse of lack of warmth in order to work and release data as the new president of the national assembly although we started up in mons to an opposition party he was accused a few weeks ago of being involved in a corruption scheme late to chop the small government from this isn't so since then he has fallen from grace from the opposition and is being investigated by the national assembly he then became a critic of one way though as one the fish are of legal rights under us government one might go and its allies are calling this a fake director and i set up

a new session outside the legislative palace in order to realize that a new director for the national assembly. why don't you just to remind ourselves from clane himself in term president on the basis of his leadership of the national assembly so where does today's vote lead him in his movement while this election it would have the power won by the one reaffirmed as the leader of a united opposition we have seen in the past. the regions attacks against the opposition and its leaders in congress or divides them as we have seen with these corrections channels today's actions are clear attack against one way to go if you manages to overcome these obstacles and regain power over the national assembly you could weigh popularity but also it could earn him work or situation for the region as we have seen in the past and what effect will all these developments have on the

long suffering venezuelan population. well it's it's more of the same conflict of powers we have already seen anything that we think can escalate even more but there is always room for a political process you're in business where the problem is that while there are more political discussions there is less government governance to deal with the food and medicine crisis the economic crisis migration human rights legislation black and water shortages and many other social problems that are reckoned havoc in venezuela and worsening the humanitarian crisis over its people ok you don't like her in caracas thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world exit polls suggest former prime ministers are on the line of edge has won croatia's presidential runoff election social democrat is projected to have unseated the incumbent kalinda grow barkha terabit from the conservative party
