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. 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 tear on has already promised that it will no longer abide by the 2015 nuclear deal raising the stakes even further. let's get some perspective now i'm joined here in the studio by our own analysts cornelius out of bar he is with the german council on foreign relations welcome to the program thank you the stakes

are high iran valen revenge what do you think happens next well that's that's part of the speculation that is going on now iran will not be able to leave this an answer that's much of a fact there is pressure also internally there is pressure from the iraqis to find a response possibly a military response to this and it's after all a high ranking general national i can which has been killed by the americans in this attack so there will be something we have seen a period of mourning so far so people can expect some kind of response from tomorrow on what's iran has in the past been careful to calculate this response so i do you think that might mean it could be probably confined to the region maybe hitting american all u.s. ally targets in the region again probably using proxies so that it kind of maybe be traced directly to iran so there is this this vagueness around previous attacks

which we have seen this wouldn't lead the u.s. president probably to to some different conclusion than from what he's done so far but iran is able to play or is looking to play a long game and they know that they are there in the region they will stay in the region for ever that's the country in iran how do you see the state of diplomacy right now i mean let's talk about you know what's actually going on in the back rooms the nuclear deal for example is there any chance that this might be saved. it's quite no longer life these days i would have to say the nuclear deal with what iran. yesterday although this is not a direct response to the attacks iran had been saying that they wanted to pull step by step pull out of the nuclear deal so far as the europeans the russians and the chinese cannot live up to their side of the deal so this is not very unexpected to the country i would say that the reaction on the nuclear deal could have been

harsher if it were a response to the attack on the general celeb money so the iranians are saying we are still open for this we just want the deal to work for the u.n. the u.n. backed nuclear deal on one side and the regional situation on the others the europeans have to take both sides into account now how do you see the situation playing out for iraq because we know that this is where the attack took place we have the parliament now calling for foreign troops to leave u.s. president on trying threatening from from his side if that action is indeed taken what happens for iraq next well it's a most unfortunate situation i mean just just remember that a couple of weeks and months ago people were taking to the streets in iraq protesting against the government and against iranian influence on the government they were being shot for that and now with this out poor and also of indignation on the iraqi side against the violation of sovereignty there is a realignment of sorts with iran because they are suffering they're both suffering it wasn't just the iranian general who got killed but also iraqi militia leaders so

there is a of rallying around the flag also in iraq and they are the ones who are suffering most of them with they could be the potential staging ground for this confrontation between the u.s. and iran so they are in a very unfortunate situation quinn is at a bar from the german council on foreign relations thank you thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world forces under libyan strong men. say that they have entered and taken control of large parts of sirte the coastal city is located midway between the capital tripoli and they have to help and ghazi if confirmed it would be an important game in his offensive against the u.n. backed government in tripoli islamic militants stormed an army base used by u.s. anti terror forces in kenya's long new county on sunday killing 3 americans this footage from ports to show the fiery aftermath authorities say that 5 attackers
