iran. the white house said this is not war. soleimani was a terrorist.was an act of self-defense which a commander in chief can always take. >> my point is, chris, we're now headed very close to the precipice of war. you just heard the president this morning talk about targeting iranian sites, including cultural sites which is in fact a war crime if the president was to carry that out. the point we're making, that the president is not entitled under the constitution to continue this escalation and take us to war without congressional action. that is what the constitution requires. look, i heard secretary pompeo talk about this. you asked him about the maximum pressure strategy. they have not accomplished any of their goals. they had very unrealistic goals. all they have done under maximum pressure is escalate the chance of war with iran. something president trump said he wanted to avoid but a lot of people around him like secretary pompeo have been urging a confrontation with iran for a very long time, including when he was with -- chris: i want to pick

the u.s. receiving from iran at this point? >> within hours of the strike, brianna, on tuesday night, messages began coming in to the white househrough intermediaries. i'm told there are at least three backchannels the iranians were using, including the switch. the messages were all the same. iran was trying to convey to the white house, look, we're done. we've done our retaliatory attack of qassem soleimani, this is all we're going to do. now essentially the ball is in your court. we're waiting to see what the u.s. will do. i'm told the u.s. responded saying, you say we're done, but we know you can still make attacks through proxies. apparently they tried to squeak out of it saying, hey, we're not responsible for what the proxies do, only hezbollah, but the u.s. made clear they're not buying it. >> barbara, at the pentagon, what's happening at this point? >> they had the messages from iranians but the u.s. military has its own plans when they were under attack, and that's what they believed they were under regardless of what the iranians said. so u.s. satellites had been keeping watch on these ballistic missile sites, anyway.

to back in this, what could bea rani the to back in this, what could be a tit—for—tat retaliatory strikes. —— in iran. american correspondence covering the white housereparing to address the nation at the moment but no confirmation from the moment but no confirmation from the white house itself stop we should expect a reply in the coming hours. thank you so much for the time being. you can imagine the white house, lots and lots of activity there as all of those various meetings are organised as the president is being briefed. somebody who knows a lot about this isa somebody who knows a lot about this is a former american intelligence officer and adviser to general david petraeus in iraq. i spoke to him and he shared his knowledge on what is happening. are there any us killed or us injured? because that changes everything. i would also argue that this attack in erbil on a base that we have used in the past to go after targets like bagdhadi and also isis targets is symbolic, in that both bases send a message, not only to the us but to our sunni allies and our kurdish allies in northern iraq, and the person whojust replaced qasem soleimani, his name is

iran or iranian officials. and senator sanders and others in the progressive caucus said we should not hand the pentagon $738 billion without a restriction on iran. now, the white house pushed back. and unfortunately, we didn't stand up strong enough. that hasn't been the history of congress. there was a senator, senator in 1969, who had amendments to stop the expansion of the war in vietnam, laos, cambodia, island, and he put in the national defense authorization that they won't have any funding, and the nixon administration pushed back, they tried to get rid of that amendment, but then, the congress didn't acquiesce, they actually passed the church amendment, to prohibit, to stop the war's expansion. and then in 1972, senator church again introduced an amendment, to stop any funding for vietnam and the war. and it's no coincidence that nixon winds down the war in 1973. and in 1976, congress stopped funding for the fight against angola. and the come nemunist regime th. my point is congress in the past has been willing to exercise the power of the purse. it is only in this century we have not. we should have frankly stopped the et calation in iraq. we should have sto
