u. s retaliation after a drone attack killed an american contractor and wounded five u. s service members in syria. this video appears to show the aftermath of that strike. the pentagon believes the drone that hit a base housing u. s personnel. they believe that drone was iranian. it made u. s forces quickly struck back targeting facilities used by iran's revolutionary guard, so, says u s officials say u. s officials this morning cnn got reaction from the white house. we don't seek a war with iran. we're not looking for an armed conflict with that country or another war in the region. we do seek to protect our mission in syria. all of this is unfolding as president biden is set to meet with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. we are alive in ottawa. we're waiting to hear from the president himself. on this attack in syria. also just a few minutes ago. you can see him there in the back of him. that is trump attorney evan corcoran, arriving at a washington dc courthouse. he just entered the building. he is going to testify today before a grand jury in the mara lago classifie

u. s believes these iranian proxy groups were using for munitions and for intelligence, and we should note that all of those u. s service members apart from the u. s contractor of course, who was killed are currently in stable condition. john alright, natasha. bertrand, keep us posted. thank you so much. with me now is retired u s air force colonel cedric leighton. colonel great to have you here. i want to take this in parts if i can. first this one way drone strike from iranian proxies. what does that tell you about their intentions and capabilities? well, john. good morning. first of all, their intentions are definitely to at least harass us forces into let their presence be known. they want to make sure that the u. s and allied forces don't forget that they're there , and they also want to make sure that they can, in essence control certain parts of syria on behalf of the syrian government, now, as far as their capabilities are concerned, they're pretty considerable. you know, it's general carrillo mentioned in his testimony. the iranians have a very large the arsenal of u a. b s and rockets and missiles. a lot of th

u. s forces, which again wounded at least one u. s service member. how concerned are you about the possibility of escalation? very concerned, alex. look the situation is very, very dangerous, largely because the united states and iran have the worst relations they have had in decades. and you know that's saying something because they've never had particularly good relations. but let me give you remind us all of a little bit of historical context. if you go back just six or seven years and say, you know, the last years of the obama administration, even the first year of the trump administration. iran was actually helping the united states defeat isis in iraq, iran was sending its militias to do that it was adhering to the nuclear deal. it was observing the limits and the u. s was in dialogue with it. then trump pulls out of the deal. iran now she's itself in a box. its economy is squeezed. it is desperate and it is searching for ways. to in a sense show that it has some capacity, and that capacity is largely for trouble making it is unleashing more of

u. s troops are there. the u. s service members are there based on the authorization for use of military force from the war in iraq or from the war in afghanistan, or which is it? you know, i wish i could recall exactly what authorities there used. it could be under the president's article two authority. i just don't recall jake, which authorities it is used under, but i know that's being considered in the senate. that and maybe in the in the house as well, but that is an authority that needs to be extended. if we want to continue to conduct this mitch mission, which i think we should do you think this is the kind of thing that theoretically the u. s congress should vote on. i mean, if we have almost 1000 troops stationed in syria. they've been there for years now. obviously there are risks inherent should the u. s. congress have some skin in the game here and vote on whether or not they approve of this well, one can certainly make the case since congress has authority to declare war. now this is clearly not a case of war.

u. s. responded in the way that it did not only was an american killed but five u. s service members as well as another u. s contractor were injured natasha last thursday, the head of central command warned congress about iran's arsenal drones and missiles. what exactly are they capable of? yes commander gorilla. he did caution congress, saying that the iran really possesses right now the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the middle east. and, of course, tensions between the us and iran have only risen in recent months as iran has gotten closer to russia, and that military defense partnership has grown. here's what gorilla told congress last week. today i ran his exponentially more capable than they were just five years ago. today iran possesses the largest and most diverse missile arsenal in the middle east. thousands of ballistic and cruise missiles, many capable of striking anywhere in the middle east. iran also maintains the largest and most capable force in the region. so as long as iran keeps attacking u. s military personnel in syria expect to see the biden a

u. s contractor, injuring five u. s serviceembers and another american in response to us carried out this precision airstrike in eastern syria. that is a according to the pentagon. so joining us right now, democratic congresswoman mikey cheryl. she's on the armed services committee and is a former navy helicopter pilot was so happy to have her this morning. uh good morning to you. thank you very much. first of all, what is your reaction to these airstrikes? well i sit down as you said the house armed services committee, and we just heard testimony yesterday from centcom about the iranian threat. so to see these drone strikes, um you know was really concerning given what we've seen iran doing with their drones across the world, not just in syria, but certainly supplying russia and the ukraine war. um, and so i think what we saw with the response by the united states as promised from the president and the secretary of defense, it was measured. it was not meant to be escalatory, but certainly you cannot attack us service members a

cnn's oren liebermann is at the pentagon or what more do we know about these injured u s service members? pamela we know this is a result of a series of attacks we saw against basis with u. s. troops in syria four or five attacks within a span of about 36 hours. so let's break this down, how we get the six because it comes from two different sites in syria with us forces, the first attack that we saw and essentially that started. what we saw in this chain of events was on thursday, early morning, syria time when a number of suicide drones were launched at the hassakeh facility, which houses u. s troops in far north east syria. that attack and this we learned almost immediately afterwards resulted in the deaths of one u. s contractor as well as the injuries of five u. s service members and another contractor, but in subsequent screening for traumatic brain injuries we learned earlier today that four service members at that site hasakah site suffered traumatic brain injuries, according to the pentagon. they're in stable condition were treated at the site and with the latest update remain a

u. s contractor dead and six u. s personnel injured. five of those are u s service members. they're in stable condition at this point. then later on in the evening, there were 10 rockets fired at a green village site in central or eastern syria, right about that part that led to note. injuries but when the u. s retaliated, we saw two more attacks over the course of the past several hours a rocket attack at nearby kanako field again in central or eastern syria. that left one u. s service member injured in stable condition and another drone attack, two of which were intercepted. two of those drones intercepted one got through and damaged facility there, john. it's been a long time since we've seen attacks of this nature and how quickly these have come in syria. you mentioned the u. s. retaliation described that and just the one attack at this point or as the u. s. talked about another retaliation. so far, we've only seen the us responded that first attack the drone attack that left the u. s contractor dead that targeting facilities used by groups with links to iran's islamic r

u. s service members and an additional u. s contractor were wounded in this strike, and the united states is taking action. cnn pentagon correspondent oren liebermann joins us on the phone now or in what do we know? listen. this all played out thursday afternoon syria time earlier today, so this would have been early this morning here us time, and according to the pentagon, a one way essentially a suicide drone attack the position with us forces and u s contractors early this morning our time in that attack, according to the pentagon, one u. s contractor was killed five u. s service members. and another contractor were wounded in the drone strike . two of those service members were treated on site while the others that is the other three service members in the u. s contractor were medically evacuated to medical facilities in iraq. so fairly serious injuries at least there and, of course, the one u. s contractor killed, according to the pentagon, in response to us carried out what it called a precision strike against iranian is

u. s. service members and another u. s contractor. why wasn't there a contingency to shoot down the drone if it was coming into the base? again look, we take a variety of measures to safeguard our people. but again, it's an inherently dangerous place and again, we'll look into the details of the actual type. another iranian proxy attack targeting a separate us based early friday morning resulted in no injuries to personnel, but it did strike a civilian house, causing significant damage and injuries to two women and two children, the pentagon said. but the skirmishes are just the latest in a series of dozens of attacks that iranian proxy forces have carried out against u. s personnel since early 22. 91 that's according to the commander of central command general eric gorilla, who spoke to lawmakers on thursday. feel for how often you're being attacked. there has been a number since one january, 2021. the number is about 78 times that we have been attacked. the us maintains about 900 troops in syria as part of the anti isis coalition, b

right now to our breaking news tonight, the pentagon says today u s contractor was killed in syria after a drone strike five u. s service members and an additional u. s contractor were wounded. in this strike, the united states is now taking action. cnn pentagon correspondent oren liebermann joins us on the phone. okay, so we're or and give us an update now. this all played out thursday afternoon syria time, which would be early thursday morning, when the pentagon says a drone one way, which is another term for a suicide drone attack the us position near hasakah series and it's far northeast syria in that drone attack. as you pointed out, one u. s contractor was killed, according to the pentagon, five u. s. service members and another contractor were also wounded in that attack in terms of how they're doing at this point, the pentagon says two of those service members were treated on site. well three and the u. s contractor had to be evacuated the medical facilities in iraq for treatment, so those injuries it's possible, maybe substantial. at this point. the pentagon says the drone is of iranian origin, which which sugg

u. s. forces in syria have come under rocketrone attacks by militants in the u. s that they believe are proxies for an. american troops weretargeten there as or and green village, one u. s service member was reported wounded the day before an american contractor was killed by a drone strike in hasakah. the u. s retaliated with airstrikes that reportedly killed more than a dozen militants. here's what president biden had to say afterward. to make no mistake. the united states does not does not emphasis seek conflict with iran but be prepared for us tracked forcefully protect our people. that's exactly what happened last night. cnn's oren liebermann is at the pentagon and has our report. late night strike in northeast syria. ambulances rushing to the scene as fire burns in the distance us striking what officials say we're ammunition depots and intelligence sites used by militias linked to iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. the us called the strike carried out by two f 15 fighters proportionate and deliberate action after a one way drone attack killed an american contractor earlier thursday near hasakah in syria, five u. s service members and another contractor were wounded

u. s servicemen and another u. s service contract to their this retaliatory strike is being called proportionate. it's designed to avoid read escalation. it's intended to avoid casualties, it appears or perhaps if the location is on buildings in a rural area, but if it follows the pattern of what the united states has done when it's responded to this type of attack on its troops by iranian process in syria and in iraq before what it tends to do is strike ammunition stores. and sort of collections of equipment used to sort of use if you will, to sort of sustain these these property groups on the ground military equipment, so this is perhaps what the target is this time. it isn't clear. but what lloyd austin, the us secretary of defense has said very clearly and this isn't this is an ongoing and very clear united states position, he said. we take all measures to defend our people and will always respond. bond at a time and place of our choosing. no group will strike our troops with impunity, so it has been a very quick respons

um confirm that the secret service the u. s marshals having conversations to continuing conversations with all of law enforcement to try to coordinate this because this is unprecedented. so what do you think they're most concerned about? is that unrest or what they're most concerned about tuesday. if you're going to bring donald trump and to be booked on criminal charges, they're not worried about how to get him in and get him. about as much as they're worried about. what kind of crowd could be generated? so what are they looking at? they're looking at social media platforms. they're looking carefully at statements from donald trump and supporters about rallying people, but the new york city police department is unique in this regard and that you've got 35,000 police officers. it's not like what we saw in washington, d. c. where there are finite limits to that. i mean when they thought he was going to be indicted tuesday, the week before last, their first effort at that was 10 mobile field forces on monday, 14 on tuesday that c
