drone strike on friday killed the country's top general as well as an iraqi militia leader in baghdad on sunday large crowds in iraq and mourned the death of a money. grief and outrage as tens of thousands in the iranian city of mashad accompanying the body of general cause some saudi money to a shrine a popular hero and close ally of the country's supreme leader. of the his assassination is considered a declaration of war by many iranians. in the parliament cries of death to america in support of rational the 7th action of the us president is considered a military of terrorism. only if you want to know the dissent then sure will have painful consequences for you bush and the ripple effects are being felt already the

parliament in neighboring iraq has voted to end the us 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. and while. it is a horrific afghans 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 backs hezbollah militia threaten to hit american forces in the region i'll call what i did 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 or be it 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 threatened to hit tehran hard if iran strikes tweeting we have targeted 52 iranian sites representing the 52 american hostages taken by iran many years ago a reference to the. hostage crisis at the american embassy the fall of the 1979 iranian revolution a key event in the long running conflict between washington and tehran iran is announcement on sunday that it would no longer abide by the 2050 nuclear deal reasons the stakes further but the widespread outrage on the street puts pressure on the government in tehran to show its standing up to the u.s. . let's bring indeed of these teri schultz who joins us from brussels now terry little ambassadors are holding an urgent meeting there in brussels to discuss the situation in the middle east following the soul of money killing what position is nato taking in all this nato would be very happy if it didn't have to take

a position at all it doesn't like to get involved in matters like this but in fact it doesn't have a choice because nato has several 100 people on the ground in iraq in a training mission now this is a non-combat operation they are training and advising the iraqi ministry of defense and national security officials but those individuals were thought to be in danger now and nato came out the day after the silly money killing and said it was taking all necessary security precautions but at that point it was maintaining the training mission a day later it had to call it off and following that the coalition to defeat dice that to defeat isis also called off its training mission so it's clear that the situation on the ground there simply can't sustain several 100 personnel from international institutions it's not clear what will happen with that training mission now and nato ambassadors will discuss what to do next whether to pull all of their citizens out of iraq as many governments have advised their people to do.

before the soul of any killing terry europe was struggling to salvage the iran nuclear agreement what are the prospects of saving that deal now. your right to that deal was already on life support following the u.s. pullout from the deal and the reimposition of economic sanctions iran has threatened and has in fact gone through with pulling out several steps several of the limitations on its uranium enrichment program it has already breached now what iranian foreign minister javad 5 zarif came out and said was that it would only take steps that were reversible it said it was he said it was not pulling out of the iran nuclear agreement but in fact was going to be out of compliance with all 5 steps of it so europe is in a tough position right now it does not want to further alienate the iranian government at the same time it has no choice but to to make a very strong statements about iran coming back into the deal now britain france

and germany remain signatories to the agreement along with china and russia and the e.u. has long called on china and russia to put more pressure on iran to maintain the deal also to buy more iranian oil to to improve the iranian economy so that iran doesn't feel that it has to go out of the deal but in fact they're going to be in a very tough position and german foreign minister heikal mosse is calling for an urgent foreign ministers meeting so they can discuss this and see what there is to do if they can take any more steps to keep the deal from being declared finally dead gerri thank you so much to that was teri schultz in brussels. let's bring in tyson barker here he is a transatlantic analyst with the aspen institute here in berlin good to see you tyson i think so tell us is it any clearer now whether there's a coherent strategy behind the trump administration's decision to kill cus i'm

selling money i think everything that we're dealing with on the table is unclear right now both the decision to kill the money and the reaction to it what we have heard from reporting out of washington is that there were a range of options on the table in reaction to the attack on the u.s. embassy in baghdad and this was the most extreme and that was the one that was chosen to go with to the surprise of many in the national security community and the national security and intelligence apparatus in the u.s. government. now as the u.s. braces for retaliation from tehran and we're hearing that tehran is planning some form retaliation we just don't want it don't know what it is president trump is now threatening to strike iranian cultural sites which some say would be a war crime how does this reflect on america's image abroad what we're already starting to feel the range of instruments that iran has at its disposal in the

region 1st this vote in is in the rocky parliament the decision to withdraw from all of the conditions of the j.c.b. away and what's happening here in exactly the nuclear agreement and what's happening within the n.t.i. says coalitions who are already feeling the scramble that iran has at its disposal to kind of scramble the security situation in the region an acute attack specifically a security attack on a military installation that the u.s. has in the region or in the united states would would change the calculus and attack a counter attack on a cultural institute. would be a vile it would be a war crime and many have noted that also in the united states including in congress. iraq is also playing an element of his course the killings took place on iraqi soil iraq is now voted to expel all foreign troops including u.s.

troops from its country that are often ministrations says that if u.s. troops are expelled then the u.s. would retaliate with sanctions is this a further escalation we're seeing here. i mean clearly and the point is we're seeing a major shift in the relationship with the united states in iraq and the iran iraq relationship where it's tilting it's always been kind of push and pull between iran iraq and the united states in iraq where both are kind of the big players in iraq but we're talking more towards iran being more the let's say that iraq is more of a client state of iran and if the united states basically pushed out including the military presence in iraq that really changes the game for the united states there tyson thank you very much tyson barker from the aspen institute here in berlin thank you. but it's well it has seen fresh political chaos with

2 rival lawmakers both claiming to be parliamentary speaker following 2 separate votes on sunday opposition lawmakers have reelected leader one why though to the powers but that's after he was blocked from entering the national assembly legislature there the ruling socialists under nicolas maduro elected their own candidate luis parra. i was done as well as parliament on sunday amid extraordinary scenes will make a luis posada is sworn in as new parliamentary president. i one way though shall we one go i knew as we all did that he needed to be here no one stopped me from coming in and i usually didn't have enough votes that's why he decided to stay outside the parliamentary palace. he was. joe and his supporters could clearly not get in the man who calls himself into him president even tried to climb the

railings members of the national guard stopped them entering the building. because he didn't feel the constitution has to be respected today every member of parliament must have the right to vote but we're going to stay here until we get inside. he and his supporters outside were completely cut off from what was happening inside that they were sure any vote without them would not be valid and your know there was no way the necessary number of people were in there and they would have never had a majority but a lot of people who parliamentarians were held back by force that prevented the sitting even being properly opened. the position of parliamentary president is significant a year ago quite oh declared himself into him president of the country he cited doubts over the reelection of president nicolas maduro the constitution says where there was a power vacuum the parliamentary president should take over why does declared

mission to end the doers reign and hold new elections but he's failed to get the military's backing meet in a country with 2 supposed presidents and in chaos. madeira recently said that the opposition dominated parliament pushbacks quite oh had only damaged the country do you sell us some limits you know how much is being abused as a place where conspirators work to damage venezuela financially to create a coup and enable a foreign military invasion what's going on here i mean the thought of where now why don't is also talking about a coup against parliamentary democracy for you in the basically day that the rule of law was wrecked the republic was killed and that if only. the question of who is president is just the 1st of many that urgently needs an aunt. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in tripoli the 1st funerals have been held following saturday's deadly air strike on
