most powerful and well-equipped military anywhere in the world by far. rob: he will be speaking at some point to address the situation in iran and iraq, a lot of new information about what happened overnight. jillian: "fox and friends" starts with special coverage. >> overnight iran retaliates with 15 ballistic missiles into iraq. the us military and coalition forces through no us casualties, no us service members were hurt. the attacks come days after us airstrikes killed iran's top leader qasem soleimani. donald trump will address the nation at some point on tuesday morning. jillian: we are live, team coverage this morning, lucas tomlinson is live at the pentagon with us response, griff

jenkins live in washington with reaction from lawmakers but we start with rick leventhal live in the middle east with the latest on these attacks. >> good morning. this is attack was not a surprise to those who have already taken defensive actions and there are no reported us casualties but iran's supreme leader saying he slapped america in the face and the ball is in donald trump's court. ballistic missiles filed by iran at two bases, one hit a base, four missiles failed in flight and the other ten struck al-assad, facility north of baghdad. video out of iran shows people in the streets waving flags and celebrating the attacks and we have seen images of shrapnel from failed missiles that landed in a field 30 miles outside of

erbil. the iranian foreign minister said iran took and concluded proportionate measures in self-defense on article 51 of the un charter targeting basis from which cowardly armed attack against our senior citizen or senior officials relaunched. we do not seek escalation for war but will defend ourselves against any aggression. iran says if the us retaliates they will strike more targets possibly here in israel where benjamin netanyahu just spoke saying, quote, he who shall strike at us will face a deadly blow. iran dealing with a issues including a deadly plane crash that killed 200 people in tehran and multiple earthquakes, one of them near a nuclear facility. brian: rick leventhal live with the latest. the ayatollah says iran tell the united states a slap in the face.

he says and comment elections against the united states not enough. the united states must leave the region and that is one reason they did that but at the same time iran says we don't want war. we tried to kill as many of your people, we don't want war. ainsley: the president is meeting with his officials for how they are going to respond. what about casualties? does that change how we respond? brian: remarks within our show, setting the tone from here on in. my sense is both countries are not looking for major war. here is the president yesterday before we had the retribution will strike last night. >> if iran does anything they shouldn't be doing they will suffer the consequences and very strongly, we are prepared and likewise we are prepared to attack if we have to as retribution. >> when the president says we

are prepared, when all those missiles rain down on those two bases the united states knew it was going to come. so we had hunkered down, our coalition partners hunkered down. by the grace of god nobody was killed. one report, one of the missiles may have hit an airplane but we were ready and what goes forward from here, how will iran react as well? was that it? are they done now? ainsley: they are making a town like that was it. there are reports on "fox and friends first," general tata said they intentionally missed individuals, didn't want to kill americans and their people believed they got revenge because he said iran state tv is reporting individuals were killed, americans were killed, their people are watching

propaganda. they say revenge for our leader who was killed, let's move forward and hoping the us doesn't respond. >> iran never hits directly and takes credit. the la times reporting this is the first time they said here are the rockets, they are coming from us. guess who we are aiming for, lieutenant colonel oliver north who i would argue has been there more than anybody in this country talked about things that have to be done going forward. >> there are three things that take place in the next few hours or days. target not just the oil but the launch sites that file those 15 missiles. number 2, make sure at the back end of this that we are not putting americans at risk. we have got them aboard b-52s. the six that were sent fire cruise missiles and h bonds.

number 3 speak softly and use your big stick. ainsley: there were 15 lodges, the majority hit the al-assad airbase. this is where the president was over christmas, the past two years the vice president and the president made unexpected visits to this base. this is where americans are, a massive base and the us often launches our own drones from this base possibly the drone that killed soleimani. >> the new york times is there have been 22 missiles launched. the wall street journal says there were ten. and the kurds go wait a second, that is our base. lucas tomlinson is in the pentagon with the message from the pentagon at this hour and where they stand. that would be your introduction.

>> top iranian officials expect iran to retaliate, launching 15 missiles, no us troops were hurt. 15 missiles were launched from iran in an attack against american forces, ten of those missiles struck the al-assad airbase, one hit in kurdish help northern iraq. us officials tell me american troops did not try to shoot those missiles, defense secretary mark esper anticipated the retaliation for killing soleimani. >> the united states is not seeking war with iran but we are prepared to finish one. we are seeking a diplomatic solution but first this will require iran to de-escalate, we are prepared for any contingency and we will respond appropriately. >> reporter: iran's foreign minister said those two iraqi bases were chosen because that is where special operations forces were based that carried

out strike against soleimani. donald trump said, quote, all is well, missile launch from iran and two very bases in iraq, the damage is taking place now, so far so good, the most powerful and well-equipped military in the world by far. the president will make a statement later this morning. rob: are we equipped with our own mini iron dome system around the bases where we had american troops, to shoot something down or do we duck and cover? >> reporter: there are anti-air defense system scattered throughout the middle east. it is not clear if any of those batteries were inside iraq or the al-assad base that they are defense's systems in place but the us military did not try to intercept any of those missiles. it is not clear they had that capability. brian: when you look and the

united states says there were no american casualties involved here, how do you explain how they fired 15 missiles and nobody was killed? are they really bad shots? did we hunkered down? what are people saying at the pentagon? >> iran has the ability to law short and medium-range missiles that can travel hundreds of miles from inside iran and hit a target in iraq. they did not hit downtown baghdad. clearly they were in the vicinity. as you point out no american troops were hurt. it is not clear that is because they were in a safe area or -- a sprawling airbase in western iraq, it is not clear missiles hit sand or facilities but we know no american troops were hurt and struck buildings hit by iranian missiles. rob: the damage assessment was away from the pentagon. >> later this morning we expect

to hear from officials. the assessment is still ongoing. it is daylight now, eight hours ahead inside iraq. so far have not seen any official damage assessment. expect that later this morning. the pentagon is waiting for the president to speak before putting out any information. >> they have to thousand ballistic missiles and are allowed to have them under the nuclear agreement. we have 22 perhaps. they have thousands. >> with this intentionally, did they intentionally miss americans to send a message, propaganda message to their people? our men and women have been hiding, lindsey graham was on the show last night talking about how this is an act of war. a list here on back down they are out of the oil business and the fight against iran and radical islam. >> the president is very the follicle in his thinking, the best national security teams i have seen but never lose sight.

we are dealing -- a wall between us and radical islam. we can build a wall on the southern border to protect us there but you can't build a wall between us and radical islam. some of our people are working with others to keep these pastors at bay. what the president understands about the iranian's is they are never going to change until you make them change. they have been wreaking havoc on the world and you have a new sheriff in town. >> we told you the united states decided that the foreign minister for iran would not be allowed in the country, being denied a visa for security council meeting at the un tomorrow. one of the national security people says it is not a good time to have somebody like that in the country. speaking of propaganda here is the iranian ambassador to the

united states talking about why iran had to do what they did in phase i or was that the whole enchilada? >> we have to take revenge. when that would happen or how that would happen remains to be seen in the future. >> those are his comments, some type of retribution. in the middle east more than any place in the world it is about face-saving and looking like you are strong and not we can having retribution. it is going to be interesting to see the president's speech today or what is included in it, is it going to be this is their best shot, bring it on or we brought each other to the brink and it is clear we don't want war, where do we go from here? >> we won't fight back or do we do is there some way we can't

fight back without starting a war, without taking lives? >> we will find out, the president will be speaking later on, could be during our show. i mention the foreign minister, he tweet this out after they launched 15 missiles. iran concluded proportionate measures in self-defense under article 51 at the united nations charter, glad they are following the rules. for which currently armed attack against our citizens and senior officials were launched, we do not seek escalation or war but will defend ourselves against any aggression. they don't want war. if they are going to shoot at us we will fire back but we don't wanted to go further. senator marco rubio had this observation about putting money in the pockets of those missiles. >> the obama administration entered a terrible deal in regards to iran and nuclear weapons and allow them to continue to build ballistic missiles, these are not rockets, these are missiles with

increased range and the development, with the money they got from iranian's, to sponsor terrorism and would have allowed them to build a nuclear weapon down the road. the trump administration took us out of that bed deal. the iranian this decided to respond economic sanctions with violence and used these other groups, don't want to do it themselves so they use shia groups to attack the region and soleimani was behind it. donald trump made clear months ago you guys keep doing this, if you kill americans, if you kill a single american there will be a response. >> maybe without a strong response except for words last weekend they will show their response last night. 14 after the hour. iran threatening to strike israel and our allies. last night our next guest for israel special ops, he says iran has to be put on notice.

>> iran reportedly threatening to unleash attacks on israel and other key allies if the united states retaliates for missiles fired at us forces in iraq. our next guest says this means war and the united states must strike back. he served in his relapse counterterror unit, i am sure israel said they did not provide intelligence they got soleimani but they could pay the price for that or be in the crosshairs. are you surprised they weren't yet? >> i'm not surprised but it doesn't mean there may not be retaliatory strikes against

israel but keep in mind israel has been eyeing iran is enemy number one for the past 25 years. iran has been trying to build a weapon to fire at israeli civilians. is real is prepared for iran and to handle whatever intelligence, very long detailed list of intelligence has been collecting to essentially hand over to the us as needed because we are such close allies. israel's watching closely. israeli civilians are prepared and quite frankly - moving forward. >> they yelled death to america and want to wipe israel off the map. you are leading manufacturer of product to this kind of thing for terrorism readiness. what products you create, how do you do that last night? >> it is more for an active

shooter attack. if iran didn't have any sleeper cells they might be lying low to get into the united states. mexico successfully managed to penetrate into america or the us and the types of products for concealed carry and off duty or plainclothes officers to act as force multipliers praising hezbollah homage he heidi decided to open fire so those are the products. everybody here is watching closely, it israel knows that and was effective similar to iran. >> in that strike a few days ago. straight ahead the world cannot afford war. we are live in washington with

reaction about the democrats reaction on the present. which menu am i looking at here? start with "ta-paz." -oh, it's tapas. -tapas. get out of town. it's like eating dinner with your parents. sandra, are you in school? yes, i'm in art school. oh, wow. so have you thought about how you're gonna make money? at least we're learning some new things. we bundled our home and auto with progressive, saved a bunch. oh, we got a wobbler. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. that's what the extra menu's for.

rob: donald trump will address the nation this morning after iran launched 15 missiles at american troops and coalition forces in the kurdish section. >> some democrats slamming the president claiming, quote, the world cannot afford war. ainsley: the president plans his next move. >> reporter: we will see what he has to say. he will address the nation at some point. he will give americans an update on the latest development and what it means to the country and our allies and he will have a message for iran's supreme leader as well as reaction on

capitol hill has been swift and harshly critical from democratic leaders. nancy pelosi tweeting out a statement we must ensure the safety of our servicemembers including indian needless provocations from the administration and demanding -- the world cannot afford war. democrats warning of a widening war pointing the blame at the president. >> mister president, you have to explain your decision and strategy to the american people. that is your job as president, mister president. >> this is a reminder why we need to de-escalate tension in the middle east. the american people do not want a war with iran. >> reporter: there was an ominous warning from the only

candidate who has seen combat in iraq. >> it would make the iraq war look like a picnic compared to the devastation and destruction that would because by going to war with iran. >> reporter: republicans strongly rallying behind the president. kevin mccarthy had this to say. >> the president sent a clear message with one missile going through taking out the individual that has killed more than 600 service men and women who serve us in iraq. >> reporter: one thing to watch, it is unclear nancy pelosi will push for the vote on the war powers resolution. we thought that would come but today she has a photo op at 11:00 a.m.. they have regularly scheduled wednesday press conference is at 10:00 a.m. and the president who is scheduled to speak last night, we thought he would address the nation but he held off and we will hear from him today. rob: thank you very much. we have that later.

>> one thing i could say, democrats keep talking like we are not responding to iran's provocations, the president said i don't want to be aggressive against iran today. four ships off the coast sabotaged, two takers attacked in the strait of hormuz, iranian's shootdown a us drone, rocket into saudi arabia unprovoked into an oil facility, then two oil tankers seized. these are all iranian acts. if we don't act that says something. when we do act they have a problem with it. you can't have it both ways. >> they killed an american. the red line drawn earlier, naturalized american still alive. >> we have a guest to speak to, democrats in the media wasting no time, fired missiles at the united states in iraq.

>> what it shows is a national security process that is dysfunctional, the president making decisions by the seat of his pants. >> this is a reminder why we need to de-escalate tension in the middle east. the american people do not want a war with iran. >> a dangerous night at the casino for donald trump. ainsley: here is iraq war veteran don braemar. democrats blaming republican saying we don't want a war with iran. i don't think anybody wants a war with iran but republicans like ted cruz blaming the obama administration for sending money to iran saying it was used for that missile attack yesterday. what do you think? >> one of the first things is a few months ago the democrat-controlled congress has

the national defense authorization act, 377-48, two important things to note in that act, democrats were moved. one was to say congress must approve any funding for a war with iran. the other was authorization of force to kill terrorists in events with 9/11. removing them for lack of a better word gave the president the authority to do what he did. this falls back on congress. they gave him the authority by removing those two. >> there is going to be an election in november of 2020. everything in the town is political. >> absolutely but the bottom line is the american people have seen what brian said a few minutes ago. we had our ships attacked, our

sailors held hostage at gunpoint by the iranian's. >> after the agreement was signed. >> absolutely. america wants a president who is not going to take their, they want a tough president. when they shot down the drone the president did not act and i respect that because there was no loss of life. however we have to look at what does the country want? a good economy and a strong country and that is what we have with this president. >> you see the obama administration put aside their role in getting us to this point. >> many things the administration did in getting us here. the iranian deal unreleased billions of dollars that were supposed to go to the iranian people to help their economy. if you look at the economy of iran they had to ask their citizens to donate to a bounty they put on the president because their pockets are full of cash and had proxy wars across the globe. >> out of the president

response? >> the biggest thing he to do is assess the intelligence received last night and this morning. the good thing was to hold off, assess the damage, there were different versions of the story from iran. the al-assad airbases 25 square miles, that is a lot of land. less than a dozen, they didn't hit anything. good show of propaganda for the iranian's but no loss of life, no casualties. that may be what they need to control the country that is spiraling out of hand and let's de-escalate if we can. >> it was symbolic to the iranian's. thank you very much. jillian: as we continue to wait

to hear from the president later this morning our next guest says iran did the bare minimum possible. this could be a major opening for our president. medicines, zicam is clinically proven to shorten colds. i am a zifan for zicam! oral or nasal. ♪ robin hood and little john runnin' through the forest ♪ ♪ laughin' back and forth at what the other'ne has to say ♪ there's a booking for every resolution. book yours at booking.com there's a booking for every resolution.

..

>> it is 5:35 and we start with fox news alert, iran fires a dozen missiles at us forces in iraq in a massive show of revenge for the death of general soleimani. >> all eyes are on donald trump and how he will respond when he addresses the nation, probably up already. what should our next move be? jim hansen joins us to weigh in for the nation's capital. look at the 15 missiles that iran shot at the two bases in iraq and nobody was killed, thank god. doesn't seem like much, does it?

>> it was a risky move by iran because their missiles are not very accurate and we both dodged a bullet. this was more a face-saving measure for them. they couldn't allow us to kill one of their top leaders and not do something but if they had hit americans they could have opened a giant can of danger for themselves and we should take a look at how disrespectful this is to iraq that they launched these things into iraqi territory and iraqi bases, more likely killed iraqis than americans with no care for their supposedly allies. that may be a problem for them as well. >> especially the kurds in the area that was hit. you choose the word honor culture. having said that is it important not to say is that all you got and important to say okay, use it as an offramp without addressing it so the iranian this can spin it, don't put it

in their face? >> that is a great point. the problem is they had to do something and we dodged a bullet by nobody being killed and immediately their guys put out a tweet saying we had to do this, please don't turn our coastline into smoking wreckage. a pretty straightforward thing, we have concluded our retaliation and more or less request the president to say at this point donald trump can be the bigger man and say okay, we will you get away with this, the next one won't be free. >> general tata think they intentionally did not kill americans so they could tell their people, their state run media could tell your people they did tell americans and this could be a fireworks display, we colbert queen, they have to fight back, looks like they fight back and he said who cares

if that is what the iranian's thing, i don't want them to think they got revenge on america. what do you think? >> that is what happened and the next steps are important, donald trump will speak this morning and remind everyone iran has been a malign influence and aggressor and we have shown tremendous restraint and that won't always be the case. iran is doing internal management and propaganda to their people and the folks who need to hear they haven't soleimani but no one is buying that even inside their country. we can afford to de-escalate. donald trump does not want war, iran doesn't want war, they will come out on the worst end of this. >> we heard behind-the-scenes it is very clear.

we do not want a war, we will not blow up your oil and stuff like that and let end it right here. >> that is a great thing to do. it was risky to lob the ballistic missiles in. only scorpions are paying the price right now. maybe we will never be friends but we don't have an open conflict. i would rather see this play out on twitter. >> nikki haley said they were shaking in their boots. by launching these missiles to prove they were strong when there were no casualties. >> they look at what is going on and kick the big talk. that is not something they get away with all the time. we could take out their entire navy which if we get provoked again that would be to me, don't

hit infrastructure that could bring hardship on the iranian people. let's take up a navy which is a tool to harass shipping and they are doing a lot of damage with that. let's hope we don't have to. let's hope they are not as suicidal. >> let's hope we don't need your expertise every moment we have. thanks so much. 20 minutes before 6:00 a.m. and jillian joins us. >> let's begin, no survivors after a ukrainian plane crashes in tehran hours after iran launched missiles into iraq. ukraine and sympathy blamed engine failure and not terrorism. breaking moments ago they were

not hand over the planes, the boeing 737 left the iranian capital on its way to ukraine with 176 on board when it burst into flames was the estranged husband of a missing connecticut mom charged with murder.fotis u dulos and his lawyer will be arraigned on new charges today. jennifer disappeared months ago during a better child custody battle. her body was never found a resource so police found bloodstains in her home and car in her dna was found on zip ties used incapacitate her. nancy pelosi digging in on plans to withhold sending articles of impeachment, and demanding details what a trial will look like. he wants mitch mcconnell to release a resolution outlining the parameters including whether witnesses will be called.

>> meanwhile iran says the missile attacks are vengeance for killing general soleimani. and a deep misunderstanding of donald trump.

>> a fox news alert, the president is going to address the nation, following the strikes against us forces in iraq. the attack so the deep misunderstanding of donald trump and american resolve. the director of the foundation in iran, joins us from jacksonville, florida. what do you mean they don't

understand our resolve? >> the iranian regime think donald trump is a remake of barack obama, that americans are going to continue to negotiate the way john kerry did the nuclear deal. three times the iranian's said -- john kerry went back and gave them more. that is not the way donald trump negotiates and they don't understand that. >> if you listen to the democrats they don't think the president understands what he got himself into. leon panetta says stumbling into another war, this is a deepening crisis brought on by us. >> they have no sense of history. iran declared war 40 years ago, taking our embassy hostage and diplomats hostage in 1979, that is one of the problems. i was in beirut in april of 1983, the first time after the embassy take over.

we saw lack of reaction to the united states, lack of reaction after killing 241 marines again and again. they don't understand an american president who draws a red line and sticks to it. >> are we able to do that because we don't depend on them for oil anymore? >> that is a huge plus, the united states is an export, to close the strait of hormuz for five minutes. >> the gang of 8, what the intel was regarding the hit on general soleimani because what we have seen, had to do it right then but we caught him. he was in baghdad clearly coordinating, wreak havoc across the area. he finally got caught. >> what was he doing? what he always does, planning to kill americans.

the wizard of oz of iranian terror. he has his fingers in every terror plot around the world. the specific plot he was working on we don't know yet, not in the public domain but i guarantee it involved killing americans and spreading terror around the world. >> that is why his losses so much more than symbolic, he cannot be replaced. he was a tactician, he did have relationships with all those terror groups. he was not easy to replace like other leaders. thanks so much. straight ahead, time magazine unveiling a guide for parents to explain salome any's death to their children. what they don't mention, he was a terrorist. >> that is not the only thing they left out, growing outrage on that article next.

>> there is restraint by the ayatollah. they don't want this to go too far. >> a president who is impulsive and doesn't think the implications of his actions. this was a dangerous night at the casino for donald trump. >> it is inconceivable that his only written statements, only words tonight were all is well. >> he said more than that, critics wasting no time taking aim at donald trump and the coverage of the attack against us forces in iraq. like they are pro-iranian. >> thank you, doctor, for being with us. what do you make of what the media is doing in their

messaging? >> they fail to identify our response to iran's attack at the embassy endangering our military, our diplomats and allies, iraqi kurds in particular. this is minimizing with the islamist regime is, weakening terror across the region for decades, controlling syria, controlling lebanon, controlling yemen. it is built missile installations inside iraq to launch at us interests. rob: speaking of things we saw on television, on ms in dc, trump wagged a dog, now the dog is wagging trump. >> iran has been provoking the region and the united states.

in the last year, it was targeting an american drone, targeting ships in the strait of hormuz. in the past iran mind the person or iranian golf, to sink oil tankers, launched the largest attacks on saudi arabian petrochemical facilities in years. soleimani was behind the attempted assassination of an ambassador in dc and planning to target the saudi embassy and israeli embassy in washington dc. >> amazing they didn't take out someone who was a washington spy who they thought was a mexican cartel member coming off in washington. listen to what time magazine didn't get your head around this. how to talk to your kids about the situation with iran. who was qasem soleimani, a top military leader, and except for this portion, country in the middle east. seems like a nice guy, why did

we kill him? >> a warmonger, leading she am islamist, mastermind of the region, executed and -- the leader of lebanon who put the country -- >> 500 bombs. >> the movement he was leading cost 241 american lives in barracks in beirut in 1983, 19 american airmen killed in saudi arabia in 1996, this guy was a warmonger targeting america and american allies, much more -- >> why won't the military technology is a terrorist? >> our military does, the media. certain element in the media, upset with portraying our president is irrational or dangerous for our country, forgiving america's greatest nemesis. iran calls us the great satan

and they forget that and have no understanding of islamism coming from iran or sunni -- >> time magazine does something about how to talk to your children about what is going on because so many people say it could be world war iii, just be truthful and tell the whole story. >> i have confidence, american parents know how to talk to their children and don't need this mindlessness guiding them the wrong way. >> you just got back from iraq, you were just there. thanks so much. >> special coverage continues, carson and iraq war veteran coming up next. it replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works.
