10:01 am
soleimani. iran, where he's from to retaliate as soleimani's body returned to the country. we are hearing and feeling the reverberations throughout the middle east, hi, benjamin. >> good evening, leland, the headline today iraqi parliament to expel u.s. troops from iraq, the caveat as you pointed out that it is nonbinding vote and now turned over to government to decide, so suddenly nothing going to happen immediately. also important to point out that the sunnis and the kurds did not take part of the vote, they on stained, iraqi prime minister iranian ally sided with the iranian parliament that it's time for the u.s. to go, all the training that continues to prop up the country, meanwhile they too funeral move to iran amid continued calls to avenge his death, body will be taken all
10:02 am
around the country before being buried on tuesday, the iranian response to his death would be for sure military and against u.s. military sites, they have identified 35 targets to which president trump yesterday responded the u.s. had identified 52, qassem soleimani is being held as hero in iran, video showed young men showing images of him, foreign aggression at a time when people in iran have very little and few more details emerging of attack which killed him, he had flown on baghdad in commercial airline as way to being targeted midair and it was a very small window of opportunity, about 2 minutes in which to take the shot, it is perhaps poetic justice that he died on the same road where iranian ied's have killed countless americans, so, yes, very important to member large
10:03 am
scales of iranian demonstrations in iraq, not everybody is help with iranian influence and big demonstrations against the regime in tehran, both of those things will be taken in consideration by iranians when they consider thousand retaliate, leland. leland: benjamin hall, we can imagine security has been stepped up as it has around the region, benjamin, thank you. gillian. gillian: well, president trump responding to the iranian regime's threats warning of a quick and horror military response should the country try and retaliate, kevin corke in west palm beach, florida where the president has been this weekend with the latest on his thinking, kevin, what do you have? >> good afternoon, gillian, i want to make sure that people understand that when they hear about the iraqi parliament's vote it is, in fact, nonbinding, now it will go to the government after which point if they do decide that the u.s. military needs to leave the country, the u.s. would then have to figure out what a timeline might look
10:04 am
like and whether or not there are any cutouts to consider, all coming after the drone strike which took out iranian general, soleimani in iraqi soil, the white house in particular they seem unfazed by the vote and unmoved by the threats. >> the prime minister is the resigned prime minister, he's the acting prime minister, he's under enormous threats from the very iranian leadership that it is that we are pushing back against, we are confident that the iraqi people want the united states to continue to be there to fight the counter terror campaign and will continue to do all the things we need to do to keep america safe. >> democratic lawmakers meanwhile are expressing great skepticism about the strike and what some say appear to be increasing drum beats of war >> i think we learned the hard way, chris, in iraq, in the iraq war that administrations sometimes manipulate and cherry cherry-pick intelligence to
10:05 am
further political goals, that's what got us in the iraq war, there was no wmd. chris: are you saying it's happening now? >> i'm saying they have an obligation to present the evidence. >> chris, van holland on fox news sunday, iran massive demonstrations in honor of general soleimani and threats of retaliation against u.s. interests. the president responding on threats, the united states spent $1 trillion, best in the world, if iran attacks american base or any american, we will be sending some of that brand-new beautiful equipment their way and without hesitation. the president vacation wraps up as he makers his way back to washington, d.c., he'll be keep an eye of domestic major news what could be eventually senate trial on impeachment. back to you. >> kevin, thanks for that
10:06 am
outstanding reporting as always, we look forward to seeing you back in dc. leland. leland: all right, little more insight on the republican virginia congressman and former u.s. air force intelligence officer who served a long time in this region, what do you make of the rhetoric going back and forth between the president and the iranians? it's the first time we had a u.s. leader speak in the language that they seem to understand or that they use? >> it does, i worked this mission in 2006, 2007, i was the counterid operation's and i saw what the kurds force were going and as far as ied resupply and i have seen this, did not sleep any sleep over it. this is all iran understands, i have been doing this for 2 decades, this is all they understand, right now a lot of other leaders on shiite militia groups walking around, that's all they really understand. leland: to that point that
10:07 am
soleimani moved throughout the middle east, there was not a lot of operational security, the shiite militia members were targeting u.s. forces in iraq, they too moved around and they viewed themselves sort of above u.s. strikes, what about the iranian leadership itself today, are they moving around, you think with, a lot more fear than they were before? >> absolutely. it's great, this is what i did, i guess you could call locating services, that's the best i could say right now. yeah, they are worried, there are a lot more worried about us than we are about them right now and i think when you saw the president talking about the 52 targets, there's a lot more than that, we have a mission that's looking at high-value targets. leland: it always remarkable as we watch the videos out of iran of pictures of soleimani haven't spent a lot of time in arab capitals as you did, hard to find taxi with air-conditioning but if you want 10,000 posters of a guy they appeared immediately. how much is government organized
10:08 am
versus genuine anger? >> we talked about groups that iran has done under forces and a lot of this is just coordinated, we know this, that's why it's so funny to see news reports, i shake my head because i've done this for so long, we know it's coordinated, they can put up posters in pretty quick time frame and being in the intelligence business you shake your head, this isn't a surprise, this really isn't that much of a escalation, whether they will respond to us or not, leland, they have been doing this for decades. leland: they will kill some americans going forward, they've already killed hundreds if not thousands of u.s. soldiers in iraq and marines at lebanon. >> are you saying that this strike was a violation of law?
10:09 am
>> look, it was a targeted attack on a government official, high-ranking military official for the government of iran and what it's done has moved this country closer to war. leland: she has an interesting point; this is a different playbook than the u.s. used when you were overseas, this is much of an israeli playbook that we are to take out command figures that the u.s. didn't all the way through the bush administration and the obama administration. how does that change the dynamic and the calculus for the iranians? >> it's interesting, that's what angers me about people that say things that might not know about, if you have an individual like in iraq, you're a combatant and target, i don't want to take the thunder of a good person, soleimani was coward in uniform, that's what we have to look at this, this guy was a mission
10:10 am
planner, he was looking to do harm. they just don't have the context to make a military decision because they haven't been in it. leland: your enemy has a say on how the war is prosecuted, is this sort of the natural extension of the idea that while we may not view ourselves as at war with iran, iran views itself at war with the united states and has for if not 40 plus years certainly during the time in iraq when they were killing u.s. soldiers. >> they have been used state-sponsored terrorist since 1980, right, we look at what they're doing at israel, lebanon, syria, i've been on the borders, we know what they do. to say that this is brand new, we crossed some rubicon is bs; i think when i see political leaders trying to paint that one way or the other without realizing what soleimani was and who he was meeting with -- leland: is this the idea, natural extension that iran
10:11 am
essentially was viewing themselves already at war. >> they were. you have tens of thousands, they have grown exponentially, they have seen themselves at war, you can see how they are executing things used state-sponsored terrorism methodology, that's what we are against that and soleimani was at the head of that. leland: appreciate you being here, thank you. little bit more on this after this show, secretary of state mike pompeo fox news sunday is coming up at 2:00 p.m. eastern, chris wallace dig into a number of these issues. gillian: well, the top military adviser to iran's supreme leader is now speaking out about that country's plans to retaliate against the united states, he told cn, in this morning, quote, the response for sure will be military and against military cites, garrett tenney has more on what exactly tehran's military capabilities are today and what threats the trump
10:12 am
administration is now laser focused on, garrett. >> iran's military relies on 3 core capabilities, ballistic missiles, its navy and broader unconventional capability, the islamic republic make up for lack of modern air force with the largest and most diverse ballistic arsenal in the middle east, including 2,000 missiles capable of reaching targets anywhere in the region and i emphasize reaching because iran has not developed the accuracy and reliability for those missiles to be much of a decisive threat, maybe though a proven threat to the world's oil supply as recent attacks on oil tankers in the strait of hormuz have shown and captured navy vessel and 10 sailors on board, in terms of unconventional capabilities, tehran have no shortage with proxy forces
10:13 am
across the region easily in range of u.s. dozen assets and those of allies. >> iran will try to prepare its response in a way that it makes the enemy regret what it did while keeping iranian nation from getting involved in a war to the extent possible. >> iran growing capabilities and cyber warfare are another big part of unconventional capabilities, iranian hackers have probed critical infrastructure here in the u.s. and in the last year alone they carried out at least 14 cyber operations according to center of strategic and international studies, apart from those capabilities, iran's military also has sheer numbers with more than half a million soldiers and forces so no shortage of threats to u.s. officials are preparing for in trying to defend against, gillian. gillian: garrett, thanks for the reporting, joining us now with unique perspective on iran's military strategy and counter intelligence strategy, former
10:14 am
intel officer, now a senior fellow at hudson institute out michael, michael afters previously served as intelligence adviser and ideal guest to share perspective. >> thanks for having me, appreciate it. gillian: first question for you is really, so chris van holland said on air this morning that the trump administration has an obligation to release publicly the underlying threat intelligence about whatever attack general soleimani was preparing, is that right, do they have an obligation to release that, classified? >> i think certain members should see it inside of congress, inside the security apparatus. gillian: gang of 8. >> gang of 8, absolutely, but i know absolutely several democrats in gang of 8 who are happy about this but are saying different things politically. it's the political climate in dc, unfortunately. gillian: meaning no matter what president trump is doing, no
10:15 am
what military action he takes they have political obligation to speak out against it? >> two senators, menendez and schumer that are happy about qassem soleimani's death. we all know soleimani in the intelligence community and americans had friends killed in iraq, qassem soleimani is a uniformed osama bin laden. gillian: sorry to interrupt you, michael, i want to dig in this with you a little bit. >> absolutely. gillian: you say he's different from al-baghdadi. he was the number 2 or number 3 guy government official in the entire government apparatus,
10:16 am
he's had two roles in that sense, right? >> let's carve out the federal government that he was a part of, islamic revolutionary guard corp. supporting terrorist organizations and he commanded the force, jerusalem force, the mission to destabilize iraq, syria, lebanon in order to take back jerusalem. what i mean destabilize, make it theirs, part of the revolution and that's who qassem soleimani was. he was as if america had a clandestine general that spent time out of the country overthrowing governments and assassinating people and more importantly pushing iraqi prime minister and telling his generals and militia members, this is how we do it in iran,
10:17 am
that's what they did to protestors in nazaria, najef and bazra. gillian: what happens now for countermission? >> target rich environment, all of the individuals that have been working -- gillian: what does that mean for us? >> the two strongest men who were in charge of everything are no longer with us. gillian: right. >> designated terrorist, and qassem soleimani. the militia remembers retaining, these names to americans don't mean anything, they are not as strong without him, they are scared, they are running around, they've all moved to chinese -- gillian: easier?
10:18 am
>> we hit every one of the groups since soleimani's strike. if it wasn't us it was our allies in the area, iraqi allies, special operation's forces and everybody is worried. if you look iraqi parliament, it's half empty and the only people present are the militias leaders that were tied to qassem soleimani. gillian: does this mean mission accomplished? >> absolutely not. this means it's a dangerous time, but two most capable guys to make it more dangerous are dead. gillian: good news for now? >> great news for americans in intel community and special operation's community and the american military in iraq and afghanistan, great news, less effective commanders are now in charge, they're going to do something but iran will fight to the last arab, they're not using
10:19 am
their own people, they are using arab militias and time for arabs to push back. gillian: thanks for sharing expertise, we learned from you. >> thanks for having me, always an honor. gillian: you bet, leland. leland: and a fox news alert as we are learning a little bit more, minute by minute how the iranians are trying to respond as they are burying soleimani. iran's nuclear program no longer faces any operational constraints, read that to mean that the iranian government they will no longer abide by the iran nuclear deal, president trump removed the united states from the nuclear deal with iran, the europeans were still in it and there was this limbo phase that we were going through but iran has now said the islamic republic's nuclear program will not face any constraints in terms of enrichment capacity, percentage of enrichment and
10:20 am
research and development and will subsequently go ahead with iranian's nuclear program solely on its technical requirements, that breaking now sunday night in iran, we will follow the developments and what that probably means for the u.s. and u.s. intelligence services on the other side of this break. gillian. gillian: well, looks like mother nature finally offers some help to dozens of firefighters in australia, winds appear to be dying down somewhat and scorching temperatures have been dropping overnight, jeff paul on the ground, jeff. >> yeah, gillian, the temperatures out here have cooled off and we are even getting rain and there's more in the forecast, why fire officials say that might not help efforts after the break made of the flexibility to handle whatever monday has in store and tackle four things at once.

gillian: iran announcing today it will go ahead with nuclear program and will not be abiding the limits, separately the u.s. and its allies bracing for possible retaliatory attacks out of iran, rick levanthal in middle east bureau with all of the developments, rick, what are you hearing? >> well, gillian, israel understandably on edge tonight a long time ally of the u.s., the leaders here have tried for years to convince u.s. leaders to help take out iranian military leaders and target, so the editorials here in israel have been mostly positive and supportive of the president's actions this morning, a strategic miracle, another said it was far more impactful of killing of osama bin laden,
10:35 am
soleimani was actively operating across the middle east with tragic consequences arming and enabling enemies of america to kill u.s. troops and our allies including thousands of arabs, with tensions rising in the region british defense secretary ordered two war ships to return to strait of hormuz. >> looking to deescalate and stabilize the situation, that's something that we talked about with our european and american friends. the u.s. with make operation judgment call. >> here in jerusalem israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke before cabinet meeting praising the president's call saying that israel stands along side the u.s. in its struggle with security and peace. in iraq, u.s.-led coalition
10:36 am
shifted from supporting iraqi supports and the fight against isis to protect u.s. personnel and bases against possible attacks while nato says its suspending training activities in iraq and scheduled a meeting in brussels tomorrow with 29 ambassadors to discuss the iraq situation, we have heard from turkey, member of nato which says its deeply worried about escalating tensions asking all parties to, quote, act with restraint and discretion, gillian. gillian: great reminder there, rick, as all of the tensions ratchet up with u.s. and iran, the counterterrorism mission remains, thanks so much, rick. leland. leland: to discuss part of that and how people here at home are dealing with the possibility of of attacks, kevin carol, good to see you, sir, we will start with rick left off, perhaps missing from all of that israeli reaction is thank you, they have been thinking about doing for if
10:37 am
a decade and decided not to because of potential costs. >> thanks for having me on. strategic boon to them, it'll be extremely blowback likely because of the situation. leland: israelis have been the ones who sounded the alarm about iran nuclear program, we remember his address to congress, we remember address to un with diagram of a bomb, this should be the redline, et cetera, now we are at this point where iranians say we will not abide by the nuclear deal anyway, thanks for telling us that you're cheating on something that you've been cheating on? >> it's good that that's out in the open, they have been cheating on the deal for quite some time and the question now is how close are they to nuclear breakout, how much juice did we get from iran nuclear deal. leland: how good is our intelligence right now inside of iran, inside the shiite militias, inside hezbollah in lebanon? >> so iran has been a hard target since 1979, we don't have
10:38 am
embassy there and relations, we had a lot of good intelligence inside of iraq, i would imagine with really violent demonstrations packing the streets as shown on the show earlier it would make it difficult for the cia to operate there. not impossible, colleagues are skilled and dedicated, certain things that you'll be able to do and not able to do if that's the situation on the street in baghdad. leland: as we are watching demonstrations out of tehran and some of the other cities, listen to what the iranian leadership says or watch what they do which so far hasn't been much? >> both, i think both sides are unfortunately painting themselves into corners by saying what they're going hard to back down or deescalate and, of course, we have to see what they're doing, i think we have to keep known and suspected iranian officers and hezbollah officers in the united states
10:39 am
under the strictest surveillance right now and what they are doing and not doing is probably going to be the best we have as to what might become. leland: you think about all the places that iran has proxies or direct actors as you pointed out, irgc and and diplomats, et cetera, one place they have significant operations is inside of lebanon and this is the head of lebanon, they have been distracted of their main enemy, israel in helping bashar al-assad in syria. this is what he had to say, listen. >> this is an american start in the region, we did not attack them, new war of new type in the region. leland: new war of a new type or we started playing they bier rules? >> it's definitely an escalation, the u.s. has real scar tissue in lebanon, we lost embassy there, cia chief kidnapped and tortured there, as
10:40 am
a veteran i'm happy that qassem soleimani is dead and killing second ranking official in iranian government is not taking things to a new level at least in their eyes. leland: at the same time the militias that you fight against with and worked inside of iraq, the leadership of these groups that once thought of themselves as untouchable as did soleimani who flew around in the middle east in private jet, they have to be thinking to themselves i have been careful these days. >> absolutely, i would imagine as previous guest say there's change in communication patterns, they are changing locations. leland: making harder to plan attacks when you're worried about your own security? >> absolutely. al-qaeda is very worried that getting eliminated by a drone rather than planning, but in the long run it really does change the call louis and these militias that have had hon and off relationships of peace and war against the united states,
10:41 am
over longer period of time be looking very much as an enemy. >> as you pointed out still looking in terms of what the cyber potentials are for iran to do something in they they don't need assets, kevin, great conversation, appreciate it. >> thanks, leland. leland: gillian. gillian: harvey weinstein heading back to court this week, criminal charges he's now facing and what his accusers are saying ahead of long delay trial is coming up next. .. my friend recommended safelite autoglass. >> tech: hi, i'm adrian. >> man: thanks for coming. >> tech: oh, no problem. >> tech: check it out. >> man: yeah. they came right to me, with expert service where i needed it. that's service i can trust... no matter what i'm hauling. right, girl?
