war correspondent.
>> He called what happened
tonight extraordinary.
>> Everybody had been
expecting. Cali a shunt through
surrogates to proxy groups,
something that Iran is to say
well we didn’t really do it.
Some kind of retaliation that
would give them plausible
deniability this is exactly the
opposite. The Iranians
themselves in now that they
launched the
missiles against bases in Iraq.
The US troops
and equipment us forces
us asset. What we’re all
waiting to see is whether the
US casualties. Now
that that is really going to be
the big determining factor to
what I believe president Trump
to.
>> And terror and says that he
does not expect any direct
military confrontation between
