commander. the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei visibly moved as he led funeral prayers for his former close ally. hundreds of thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects to general kasem sulaimani killed in a u.s. drone strike in iraq on friday. i mean if you have bombed on a couch than a piece his assassination is considered a tickle aeration of war by many iranians. speaking at her father's funeral the general's own daughter has promised were prizes positive margin high in 5 other i'd already quite that i don't know the families of american soldiers in western asia have witnessed america's humiliation in syria iraq on in lebanon afghanistan yemen and palestine not yet they will spend their days waiting for the death of the children. and the anger is spreading

across borders in lebanon the iran backed hezbollah militia has threatened to hit american forces in the region here. meanwhile the iraqi parliament has voted to end the u.s. military presence in the country some 5000 u.s. troops are there officially to help defeat so-called islamic state u.s. president donald trump has already warned that it could be hit by tough sanctions if it follows through with his threat. but it's iran's promise of revenge that's focusing minds karen has already promised that it will no longer abide by the trying to 50 nuclear deal raising the stakes even further. and earlier i spoke with amir have vassie of a correspondent for the french news agency a.f.p. in tehran i began by asking him if he was surprised to see such big crowds morning . but really honestly because this situation is very similar to what happened back

in 2002 if i remember correctly after president george bush's speech that branded iran was a part of the axis of evil and in the 22nd of batman great there was surprisingly a little bit after labs in terms of time saying you can see enthusiasm but it was seen by the people of iran and that is because of one wrong take it as a whole iran as a whole is threatened or if we actually consider right now to its player president paul truong that has threatened to hit iran's culture so is don't get a sense of how people are feeling about all this that people feel that an icon a symbol of the country has been attacked and or has an issue that is in fact has united. people around us lacks all that is not or tickle these surprising and as i

talked in protest there's today as is all the talk to the demonstrators today that people who turned out for the. funeral wrong a lot of people were really calling generals for money as their she wrote they were saying that he is like and somehow to heroes in the ancient epics of people in the national army or people who defend iran or its ballers so it's not something that people will be divided over. and in the meantime we know that the country itself that iran has vowed revenge what kind of revenge could we be looking at here. just today we had an interesting little remark by one of. a revolutionary guards commander is the irresponsible manner exactly to say that and i paraphrase that. during trauma or in and killing at the secretary of defense of the us will not be price and not traced the actual price will be for the u.s.

to withdraw from the region and so i think the revenge as we've seen as we've heard in recent remarks by iranian decisions makers is mostly that the u.s. will withdraw from the region not necessarily a military conflict or not necessarily it is for tat or exactly proportionate response that would be an attack on us on us or similar rock so i don't think we exact the get the sentiment here that they do want to escalate this into a military conflict and i think the situation as it is going to if the u.s. does will draw from iraq as a starter on the eve that will be when the last for iraq come out as a little bit more about you know the enrichment aspect of this because trump has just tweeted that iran will never have a nuclear weapon and walk us through how tehran has ever sponsored to that.

well i don't think exact response right now was needed so even this is not considering the legal response which is against nuclear weapons if you believe that you do not believe that that is locked but dissing is that iran has always said that is not seeking a nuclear weapon and its program has not been geared since that is no way as based on these technical aspects or to produce a nuclear weapon or right now the situation with its nuclear slippers and more well this is still not an exit wound. that is simply. getting rid of the limitation on the operational capacity as they are saying themselves. still there and this ifs that a lot of people actually will consume to be a lot harsher to be a lot more severe constrain generals who among his assassination is was actually

pretty new to it you could say and a very shrewd response situation because it both allows you to. actually follow pressure on the road to continuous commitments to actually get back on this from the get commitments rewarding did you see the same thing he's you're on last the 20. 2 months limitations it forward. so i don't think that is will the world. amir have assy a.f.p. correspondent in tehran thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world islamic militants stormed an army base used by u.s. anti terror forces in kenya islamic county on sunday killing 3 americans this footage purports to show the fiery aftermath authorities say that 5 attackers were also killed in the 1st assault by the al shabaab group on u.s. forces in kenya. forces under libyan strongman. say that they
