we don't know where the rockets came from. we don't know who is responsible but what are you hear frg ting the iranians? >> reporter: well, so far as far as that attack is concerned, we haven't heard anything from the iranians yet. it is an interesting development that's going on there. the iranians since that targeted killing of qassem soleimani took place, they are certain signs that the iranians have been giving and telling us. senior adviser to the supreme leader was saying there would be a response by the iranians. a military response and that response could be against military targets. obviously, as you mentioned the air base is one of the largest military targets with u.s. troops there in all of iraq. to a certain extent that would fit the bill. the iranians also were quite keen to show that despite the fact that qassem soleimani was this towering figure for their military specifically for the revolutionary guards, the foreign operation wing and generally someone who was almost a legendary figure among the iranian milit

fire, at least six rockets but other news agencies reporting possibly more rockets.n western iraqi used by us forces alongside iraqi used by us forces alongside iraqi forces. several news agencies in iran are saying that the iranian revolutionary guard corps are taking responsibility. this comes hot on the heels of the americans targeting qasem soleimani on friday. and we saw the iranian foreign minister saying only a couple of hours ago that iran would respond this looks like it might be part as well of a wider series of attacks, the united states believe that there are potentially multiple locations. iranian television saying that tehran has launched this. we have to be careful with that because we are not 100% sure but that is what we are thinking? that is what it looks like at the moment, we know from the white house that donald trump is being briefed and is monitoring the situation and the pentagon and white house now will be trying hard to ascertain who is behind this copy we know that iran and especially the revolutionary guard corps have proxies operating in

earlier we saw five rockets land in baghdad's green zone.rge explosion and sirens blairing in coming, indicating there was an attack to the green zone. this paints a larger picture if what the region is dealing with. it's important to differentiate between the rockets tonight and last night. last night they were ballistic missiles fired from iran into iraqi territory. the rockets tonight are not missiles. they are fired by militias. it's a smaller type of an attack but still an attack that could threaten u.s. forces in baghdad and the surrounding region. >> neil: do we know where the iranians indicated what they did last night was it for the time being? >> well, what we saw last night appeared to be finished for now. the large response by the iranians avenging the death of their top general soleimani killed outside of baghdad's international airport last week after the president made that decision to order a drone strike. the issue of the militias in the area they received direction funding from the iranian regime. sometimes you will see aya

injured 6 people there were also other rockets fired in towards. balad which also hosts a military base with both iraqi and u.s. soldiers so it seems like we're starting to see the reactions that were promised for the death of the money. do you think it's reasonable to assume that this is part of the revenge that around process i think i mean it's i think it's reasonable you know we don't know as of yet who exactly was behind the attacks that we you know that it was the targets were so what it is that this is part of the possible escalation that people have been fearing i would suppose. i mean it is at the same time you know we should keep in mind that this isn't the 1st time the rockets fired at you know american interests and american or even the green zone you know running back militias have been firing rockets fairly regularly over the past few months but you know we'll see how things develop and if the the amount of rockets not the modifier aren't easy towards american targets is it fair to say that the fault line in this conflict in the unite

general, what do you make of the rocket attacks? we're getting a sense of the number of rockets involved. >> i don't think this is the real effort. i think is this spoken taken just demonstration of sympathy by iranian sympathizers in and around baghdad. but this is not what iran is going to do. this is just is incidental. >> and is this a way of them y triangulating if you will let's throw the flashy object out there to see what the united states forces might do? what are their capabilities? >> that is possible that they could be doing that. it is possible that couple of these rockets were just fired to calibrate ranges. but it is more likely in my view that these are individual organizations that are showing their stuff. is this this is a chance to prove your loyalty to the cause so to speak and that is what they are doing while they are waiting for a strike on the united states elements to be organized. that's how i would read it. >> and bobby, how would you read it? >> well, it is consistent with a pattern that we've seen for we

embassy building has been hit by these rockets as you being we've been reporting and with these rocket attacks have become old to point to the assassination month of fuss and sudden money and number 3 and mohammed and this is the 1st time that we have off actual damage to the u.s. embassy compound by the rocket attacks last sign when these rockets hit the book a shrine a nearby neighborhood. and by the security forces but more of them have stake in responsibility for any of these attacks but they have increased in piquancy. all right thank you very much from baghdad as i have enjoyed bring us all the latest on that attack 3 rockets landing inside the u.s. embassy compound in the green zone no reports of any casualties well now to our headline story a deadly new virus that's killed dozens of people and for infected thousands fears it is getting more contagious health authorities around the world all racing to prevent a pandemic after the corona virus strain which originated in central china spread to other countries china's health ministry saying the virus can spread between people befo

embassy in baghdad has been struck by rockets the 1st direct hit after months of near misses 3 rockets landed inside the compound in the heavily fortified green zone one struck a dining area during meal time 3 people were hurt iran has more from baghdad's. where it landed is actually busy quite close to the had seat area which is effectively in the middle of the area next to the residential area so this is going to be. the americans because it really is the 1st time the rockets have landed that close now we have been hearing from iraq officials who have said that they are trying to look into all of this to see who is responsible the americans have reacted what they've said is up to the iraqis to make sure that the embassy compound is secure. to try to clear anti-government protesters from their camp in the capital killing one person the crackdown began. to. hit out at his former national security adviser who appears to be undercutting the u.s. president's impeachment defense the new york times has obtained a draft copy of a book by john bolton he reportedly wrote that trump told him to

hearing reports of at least one rocket if not more rockets landing in baghdad. at least one of them has landed in that heavily fortified green zone. not far from the u.s. embassy, and kendis, this fits the m.o. of the iranian-backed militias that operate in that area, something they have been doing for months if not years now, and kendis, this is important to remember it was a series of rocket attacks about 17 of them in the space of about 3 weeks that sparked this crisis that we are in right now. it was because of those rocket attacks that the u.s. had launched various attacks on hezbollah, khateeb hezbollah. we entered a more dangerous cycle than we had been in before. how far this will escalate remains to be seen. so far only damage, no lives taken. it shows exactly how high tensions are in this region and they're showing no signs of settling down with these attacks happening almost daily. as you mentioned in your setup, there is a sense of revenge being planned here in iran for the death of qasem soleimani. there has been all sorts of messages coming out of

embassy in baghdad has been targeted by rockets the 1st direct hit after months of near misses 3 rockets landed inside the compound one struck near a dining area during meal time the embassy is located inside the heavily fortified green zone in central baghdad previous attacks have landed near the facility the u.s. state department described the situation as tense and says its forces remain vigilant it's called on iraq to ensure its diplomatic facilities are protected meanwhile iraqi security forces have used tear gas to try to clear anti-government protesters from vera camp in the capital a crackdown began after the influential cleric. withdrew his support for the demonstrators let's bring in for any updates he's joining us from baghdad so what more are you learning about the rocket attacks on the u.s. embassy in iraq the government's reaction. well we're not hearing too much from the iraqi government itself has said that it will investigate the incident and it will produce those results in the coming days however the us have blamed iranian backed militias and iran for these attacks tho

according to what we understand, tens of rockets. we are trying to get the details and the information. and according to the white house at this moment, the president has been briefed on this counterstrike. we have a team of r standingy from around the world. we are live in baghdad in tehran, the pentagon, and the white house. we are going to be going to our reporters for the latest here as this news is literally developing moment by moment. i want to start with arwa damon, she's near the air base. what are you learning on the ground? >> well, at this stage, all we are really able to confirm, and this is from a member of paramilitary force that is based not too far away from al-assad itself is that ten rockets did hit the base. we don't know if any casualties were caused just yet, but given the heightened tensions that exist here, there is a lot of speculation as to whether or not this is just a warning to the u.s. who you'll remember at this stage has not yet said that they will be withdrawing despite the fact that the iraqi governm

rockets flying -- i know the layout there well, the parade ground. so many rockets have been fired at this in the past. the neighborhood where it was also fired. there is a sense of we've seen this movie before with u.s. troops coming and rockets firing toward the embassy complex and other u.s. bases and another u.s. base here. >> very concerning on so many fronts. richard engel there on that rooftop in erbil, iraq. thanks very much. let's go to iran where the leaders have promised to retaliate against the united states for the assassination of general soleimani. nbc's tehran bureau chief and correspondent ali arouzi is joining me once again. ali, do you have a sense of the kind of retaliation the u.s. should be preparing for? >> reporter: hi, alex. that's right. well, i don't think it's going to be conventional retaliation in terms of a conventional war from iran, because the iranian military is no match for the u.s. military. but we can expect iran to deploy its militias that qasem soleimani had so effectively built up in this region and that were

from the rocket attacks against u.s. military bases in iraq. new information about casualty assessments and the scope of the attack and perhaps what may be an american response. the national security correspondent light from the pentagon. >> good evening, shannon, it is significant no u.s. lives were lost and the impression i have at the pentagon is that both sides will be looking for a steep off-ramp in the near future. the official told us earlier tonight as reported that iran launched 15 ballistic missiles, ten hit al-assad bays, one hit erbil and another four failed. iranians have about 2,000 ballistic missiles and iran foreign minister tweeted the iranian response concluded describing it as proportionate. u.s. officials tell me there are no u.s. casualties as a result of the two missile strikes. it is quiet in iraq right now i am told. the two waves were over in about an hour's time. we were the first to report u.s. military base came under attack from short range ballistic missiles were cruise missiles fired from inside iran not rockets a

at least 8 rockets have hit and walk a military base that houses u.s. and coalition forces the rockets reportedly fell on the runway of balad air base north of baghdad 4 iraqi soldiers including 2 officers were injured in the attack. and government sources told us just 0 that the death toll from thursday's attack on an army base has risen to at least $89.00 it happened close to the border with mali no one has claimed responsibility. haiti's paying tribute to the victims of the devastating 2010 earthquake that killed at least 300000 people president governor moyes attended the official memorial service at the site of a mass grave for victims he left the ceremony after a small group of protesters arrived a decade after the quake there has been little progress in rebuilding and there are ongoing protests over food shortages and governments corruption to raise about was at the memorial service and saying christophe and brings us the latest. there is a very sad mood here when you talk to people and they remember what happened in this country 10 years ago her

at least no rockets are thought to have hit this iraqi airbase and we understand that the white house attack on us facilities. more news coming in on that. let's turn to brexit. a eu morning overwrites for citizens over brexit and this is of course in the context that boris johnson and this is of course in the context that borisjohnson as well as attending the house of commons he will meet the european commission president and they will be talking tough presumably. that is the classic spent. nobody ever says i am going to talk week, i am going to give it everything. a classic piece of posturing. underlying the new commission president is a figure that will be far harder both within the eu and out of the eu to slide off in the way that people use to do withjean—claude off in the way that people use to do with jean—claude juncker. she has got that sort of bit like christine lagarde, formally running the imf, she has that gravitas about it so it will be hard but on the issue, johnson, get brexit done mantra was very clever during the general election and clearly surveyed a lot of people

rockets were landed in the iraqi air base. that was answered by the rockets that the u.s. launched on the iraqi-syrian border. it could be then again or any number of different militia groups backed by the iranians or not in iraq. there are several of them. many of them have representatives within the iraqi government with which the united states is allied. it's all a very awkward bed fellow situation in iraq. a lot of moving parts and awkward players having to spare shas and political goals. it's not surprising this has happened. it happened in the last couple days and could very well happen again. i don't think this represents the full thrust of some kind of iranian retaliation against the u.s. >> what do we know about the base that was involved here and the extent of the american presence there? >> we were told that there are no american troops at balad air base. there used to be u.s. troops there. it seems as though it only injured four iraqis. two of them were officers. of those eight rockets, that's not much damage and goes to show if anything either the iranians are

their fast boats, rockets, units.hat goes, we're really into high intensity warfare with the iranians. >> general mccaffrey, thanks to you. msnbc will have much more on this breaking story right now with chris matthews on "ha "hardball." >>> major breaking news at this hour. iran says it has launched a decisive response to the killing of its top general by the united ates last week. launching missiles at multiple locations today including an american airbase in western iraq. this comes just hours after the funeral for that military leader, general soleimani. in a moment we're going to go to nbc's richard engel who's in irbil over in iraq. in a moment i want to bring in jeremy bashaw. he's at the defense department. the ayatollah khamenei right after the attack and the killing t

when we look at this general, the eight rockets, matt bradley saying the type of rockets, are we going to keep on seeing this happen repeatedly, whether hezbollah in iraq or iran itself in terms of the military action that seems to be increasing at least as of today. >> sure. that's where it started. two months ago as isis disappeared as a viable fighting force, the cooperation between the shia militia, the iranian quds force and the u.s. sort-of-de facto collective tax disappears as a valid factor. the iranians have said categorically they want us out of iraq, they want us out of the middle east. so they had dialed up attacks on u.s. bases. they have 5,000 troops spread out. they are vulnerable. fortunately they are dug in. they have bunkers. i've been under a lot of rocket and artillery and mortar attacks. if you're underground you're okay unless it lands on you. we're in a very threatening position with isolated u.s. military units exacerbated by the president of the united states saying, hey, we're not leaving. we're going to sanction you if you try and get us out of there. so sudd

i think a rocket probably hit it.her fact, most likely explanation is a rocket of some sort hit an engine, took it down. the fact there was no mayday, no other explanations. the iranians came out very quickly and said look, it's technical. how would they know? and the fact they're not turning the black box over tells me they're probably guilty. >> so, explain to me what you think how in the world this could have happened. it was hours after the initial missile attack. you're saying iran was responsible. i know you used the word "rocket." but what's your theory? >> well, what happens after this is the iranians are expecting to be hit, including tehran airport. they had surface air missile sites, got blips on the radar. it's coming up. they see all this stuff in the sky. there were american airplanes in the sky. somebody made a mistake. i don't think they did it on purpose. but in the middle of a combat sequence like this, this is what happens. >> oh, awful. bob baer thank you very much. a lot of questions and it is unc

the wit's one of the rockets preferred by these groups.ssible that was a one-off or a beginning of some retaliation. but the fact is, here in israel, most people are expecting that if a retaliation comes, it could come from hezbollah. it's more likely to come in iraq, where the fighting has started, fighting has continued and where destabilization and a friendly government to the iranians means retaliation is actually something on the table. whereas hezbollah here, north of israel, it would be a very expensive, very protracted and very, very violent conflict if they decided to attack the israelis. >> matt bradley, lots of fronts to keep an eye on. thanks from tel aviv. >>> joining me, david cicilline, democratic member of the foreign affairs and judiciary committees. welcome, good to see you, sir. let's get right into this, because you are among the democratic lawmakers that are concerned that this strike that killed general soleimani was done without congressional authority. in response, you've had the president's national security advise
