to underwrite has the law -- hezbollah, interact it has become more costly within, with real sanctionsian activity. we have diminished their capacity to threats to people inflict all across the world. from my time, you remember, i opposed that jcpoa. could start their centrifuges the iranianscould start their centrifuges anytime they wanted to. you have seen it. as they now think they may have a president coming to office that will do a deal again. they will raise their level of activity to threaten, so the europeans and the u.s. will once again enter into a deal with them that presents them with enormous opportunity and america and gulf states with real risk. you need to look no further than the gulf states and the israelis people who live in close , proximity to the islamic state of iran to understand the approach that trump , administration has taken with respect to that was the right one and that we ought not go back. david: there was a concern on the first anniversary of suleimani's death that there would be an attack on some u.s. facilities somewhere. so far, that hasn't happened

they also have one to them there are many of them i'm sure you can notice that iran is dylan what hezbollah or the who with these they constitute like one group they know how to deal with it but in iraq the case is very different you have multiple groups and it's very difficult to control them and also keep in mind that would be assassination a process so there might be we have also the s.s.c. nation added $100.00 another important figure. that was iraq you figured that was allied with iran and believed in and its goals in iraq so but at the same thought we also also have to keep in mind that the us forces in a situation stroll in its influence will not get my eyes were. 'd killing of one leader especially since we have to keep in mind that iran strategy in iraq it's been in the making for decades so it definitely has an effect the killing of so lemon it definitely has an effect but it's not going to be an intellect in effect to a white party iran's influence in iraq thank you so much your analysis we really appreciate your time of see there an assistant professor at the critical security p

with iran but to do so to do so politically the latest examples in lebanon where iran and iran the hezbollah put up structures in general slim manning and for the one year anniversary of his assassination and this is creating great tension inside lebanon so i think this is a valid issue that has to be dealt with measured one outcome of the blockade is that it pushed qatar closer to turkey and iran going forward do you envision that qatar could play our mediating role perhaps between iran and turkey and g.c.c. countries. i think if asked to follow a need to differentiate a little bit we've got those relationships with iran and others relationship with turkey turkey talk about that it's a strategic ally we mean works with turkey on a lot of regional issues economically i'm very so fast partners but also regionally and geo politically they are in agreement over the many of the regional issues and conflicts and issues there that they're getting deals where. it comes to iran it's a different matter iran is our neighbor gets a big country geopolitically speaking you cannot. turn a blind eye to ira

money where we heard from a number of high ranking officials there's also some officials from the hezbollah group as well as palestinian islamic jihad there's also the deputy of the shabby forces in iraq who were present at the event on friday since then the head of iran's revolutionary guard major general salah me has been visiting one of the most important bases of the revolutionary guards which is i learned in near the strait of hormuz he's been visiting the facilities there and reiterating his position that iran will eventually money's death and they will not rest until all foreign enemies are expelled from this region there is a sense that iran is prepared there is a heightened sense of tension there's a lot of talk about what its side wants to see happen but there is really no appetite here for iran to engage in any kind of conflicts and there is a very important event coming up in the united states that is the inauguration of president elect joe biden the iranians are hopeful that with his administration there will be some kind of. between the 2 sides and that will see a deescalation

and in lebanon the iran bank hezbollah has called for revenge for saddam and he's killing their members paid tribute to sort of money while standing on a hill overlooking u.s. ally israel across the border tensions were running high between the u.s. and iran leading up to the anniversary with both sides threatening retaliation for any provocations all in a moment we will talk to should have returned see from with the view from washington d.c. but 1st here's charles stratford he was at those protests in iraq's capital. thousands of people gathered here in tahrir square in central baghdad a square that has seen so many protests over the last year the message though today very clear. these people are demanding the false withdrawal of all remaining u.s. military personnel from this country. and many of them still demanding revenge for the assassination of qassam still a money that happened close to the airport in that u.s. drone strike a year ago. many of them are very angry not only with the u.s. but they're angry with the leader of this country well i'm a club now you're. talking what i l

group as well as hezbollah and palestinian islamic jihad we heard from the head of the country's judiciary as well as the head of the revolutionary guards who said that his blood will be avenged this is the rhetoric that this kind of sentiment we've been hearing over the past few weeks leading up to the anniversary of saw him on his assassination and we also on saturday saw the head of the revolutionary guards major general visit it's a strategic island with a large base for the revolutionary guards at the eastern entrance of the strait of hormuz he did a walkabout to see the defensive powers that iran has in that island this was seen as a way to show the united states that iran is ready to respond to any kind of aggression we've also been hearing from the country's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif he had a warning for president trump late last night on twitter he said that they have intelligence from iraq indicating that the israelis are going to attempt and some kind of an attack against u.s. forces there and make it look like iran is to blame and that the u.s. president should not

the post forces as well as a number of delegations that came in to iran for the anniversary from hezbollah and palestinian islamic jihad as well as the deputy of the house to xabi forces from iraq the entire ceremony was quite somber and as a result of the pandemic but the message was very very clear that iran has not completely avenged solmonese assassination and that the will in the right time at the right time in the future there is a sense that things are very very critical at the moment and it all hinges on the fact that the incoming u.s. president joe biden could possibly return to the nuclear agreement so there is a sense that there isn't much appetite on the iranian part to start any kind of conflict to see whether or not they can get back in to that nuclear deal and reap some of the benefits they haven't seen since the u.s. withdrew in 2018 so that's the atmosphere at the moment although it is quite somber and tense there is really not much appetite for conflict here ok thank you for that that is still such a bari. in teheran we move now to. baghdad and with all the focus charles

was held at tehran university among the guests was also a series of high ranking officials from hezbollah as well as palestinian islamic jihad and also the deputy of xabi from iraq we also been hearing from the head of the revolutionary guard major general salim e. who has been today visiting the island of abu musaab this is one of the most strategically important military bases of the revolutionary guards near the strait of hormuz it's in the eastern part of the entrance of the strait of hormuz he chose today to visit this base to show the international community that iran is ready and able to defend itself when it comes to this rhetoric that we need been hearing over the past few days the iranians have said that they are not looking to for war they are not looking for conflict but they are going to be defending themselves if they are attacked meanwhile the assassination is now one year on but let's take a closer look of what actually happened to or ago today. in the early hours of january 3rd 2020 shortly after arriving at baghdad international airport major general. was killed in a u.s

has been lies and suspenders didn't get ha ha and it was that any effect on hezbollah out in iran iran has been 50 years under. some kind of locate even from the united states and they only want to serve the foreign policy but to be honest i don't get the help the saudis are not going to have effect in any way. here in sanaa because they have been under water for 6 years so this kind of this again actually will not pass a single and political old military if i still in them for saying let me ask you one final question i mean what do you think the humanitarian impact of this formentera designation will be i mean of course yemen has suffered for many years on this conflict thousands of has died or been displaced that's been color of there's been famine starvation what do you think the broader humanitarian effects of this designation will be. i think the major effect on the on the effect it would be in the humanitarian situation because the designation. of the important group in yemen or in the conflict in yemen as a terrorist organization this will undermine the peace process and that th

we've got some hostages held by hezbollah which we know has a relationship with iran.would they use their influence to see if they could free our hostages? this is what happened. and i oked the shipment, which is what i am legally entitled to do, not to the kidnappers, to these people. when people say it's gonna look like arms for hostages i said wait a minute, if your child was kidnapped and you can believe in paying a ransom, but there was an individual that you believed could get your child back you would -- that was the basis by which this is done. >> do you regret taking that decision? >> i regret one, thing some people in the cabinet when we talked about opposed it, they said if it ever becomes known it will be made to look like we had traded arms for hostages. they were right. that is exactly what has happened. the media has helped in that, and so have the opponents of our program. but i don't know. you can't sit by when you know that you have citizens of your country who are held in savage captivity by barbarians of that time, that would call to your attention.

if we do the thing with the weapons, we've got some hostages held by the hezbollah that we know has a relationship with iran and would they use their influence to see if they could free our hostages. this is what happened. and i okayed the shipment which was -- i'm legally entitled to do as president. not to the kidnappers, to these people. and when some of our people said, it's going to look like arms for hostages, i said, wait a minute, if your child was kidnapped and you didn't believe in paying ransom but you found there was an individual that you believed had the power to get your child back, you wouldn't mind becomes known, it will be made to look like we had traded arms for hostages. well, they were right. that's exactly what has happened and the media has helped in that and so have the opponents of our program. but i don't know, you can't sit by when you know that you've got citizens of your country who are held in savage captivity by bar barins of that type. and here was a plan and i would call your attention that before this thing was made public, two hostages had been relea

constantly calling trump voters or america first voters or maga voters terrorists, comparing them to hezbollahof rhetoric is this when we're supposed to be conforming, coming to unity, coming together, bringing our nation together? instead what we've seen from the democrats over the past few days is nothing buddy visiveness -- but divisiveness, calling people white supremacists, pitting people racially against one another and now impeaching the president of the united states. so we have to understand what's happening here. it's far beyond just hatred towards president trump. this is about feckless lawmakers and lawmakers who have ripped us off for decades protecting themselves, protecting their own pockets and protecting their position in washington d.c. and they do not want the american people to see that or know that, and that is what president trump exposed. lou: and the president-elect's inaugural theme, we are told, will be america united as his party charges ahead attacking the president and attacking, frankly, the 75 million americans who voted for donald j. trump. this is outrageous, a

you have iran supporting the houthis in yemen, hezbollah in lebanon, the assad regime in syria, the variousn iraq. in almost all of these places, they are in sort of a hostile confrontation with u.s.-backed regimes and governments and whatnot. so if you could remove some of the tension in the relationship, there could be a huge positive effect. for instance, here in lebanon where we are deep in a political, economic, and financial crisis, that crisis essentially began when mohammad bin salman kidnapped, held hostage, and forced to resign the prime minister and went on to become the prime minister again of lebanon. and that was all part of this ongoing hostility between iran's proxies in the region and american allies. if that hostility can be removed, then that would really make a huge difference in this part of the world. >> it is all interconnected. ben wedeman, great analysis as >>> you're watching "cnn newsroom." we'll be right back. new smartphone deal. well i'm an existing customer and i'd like your best new smartphone deal. oh do ya? actually it's for both new and existing customers.

what's been interesting is that we heard from the leader of this paramilitary group that's known as hezbollahup that a few days before the killing of suleimani last year tried to storm the u.s. embassy, angered over the killings of a number of its own members. they are saying that right now they are not going to be attempting to storm or overtake the u.s. embassy, nor are they going to be attempting to overthrow the iraqi government. this is significant especially amid the rising tensions between the u.s. and iran with america speculating as to whether or not iran actually poses a bigger threat now than it did a year ago, and of course as we unfortunately know only too well, the proxy battlefield between these two nations does end up being iraq. it is worth saying, though, that the vast majority of the iraqi government wants nothing to do with the united states or iran. they simply want to be left alone. >> arwa damon, appreciate the update. thank you. >> thank you. >>> so i know that these times have felt really challenging and negative. so with that, we don't want you to miss this next stor

hezbollah had a different objective then al qaeda or the taliban. it's so important from operation double how to make sure you're not killing people is the most important thing when you look at how you address it from ideological perspective for how you counter the narrative or how you bring this to the movement doesn't expand, if we don't understand the groupss themsels in their particular unit or group and we just wrap it all in one, i think we fail and really understanding how to deal with the problem. you had a question how we deal with ideological issues that we deal with similar to after 9/11. i hope we do a lot better because there was a complete lack of understanding across the board, especially the leadership of government and understanding what the problem truly was g. there were people in the organization that's certainly a higher level. you have the assistant director testifying in congress, saying he didn't know the difference between the museum. we need to understand this problem at a granular level if we deal with this more swiftly an

would want is to have a policy that ends up with yemen looking like the situation in lebanon with hezbollah being recreated in yemen with the support of the a and also i think you're particularly after the advancement with the saudi arabia in relation to date on what it's issued with arab states and they were disappointed so getting that gave it to that moment as if she will be very difficult to buy in and just simply just draw a line and the saudis so he must find a diplomatic solution that involves the saudis they have these and the government yemen and through that the designation will not help because to get to that stage to run her is required and contact of the how of these acquired and to the nation as it did as assess today will make it impossible or if there's a new normal challenge ahead the sudden market appreciate that thank you. protesters in the streets of tunis are again demanding social justice and jobs is one of several rallies held since the 10 year anniversary of the jasmine revolution on joining the 14th say the promises of the movements that kicked off the arab spring o

as paula had a very -- hezbollah had a very different objectives than al qaeda or the taliban. and that is so important not only from an operational level to make sure they are not killing people, but when you weren't looking at how do you address it from an ideological perspective, or how are you going to counter the narrative or frame this so that the movements and that expand. if we do not understand the groups themselves and their particular units or group and we just try to wrap it all and run -- in one we fail in dealing with the problem. you had a question about how we deal with the ideology issues that we deal with similar to what we did with after 9/11. i hope we do a lot better, because there was a complete lack of understanding across the board, especially leadership in the u.s. government of understanding what the problem truly was. there were people like javed and others who were in the organizations, but certainly at the higher levels. you had the assistant director of counterterrorism calling this islamic terrorism and saying she did not know the difference betwe
