There’s an intense debate in Washington about how to deal with Tehran following the downing of a U.S. drone.
A tense standoff between the U.S. and Iran, following the downing of an American surveillance drone in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state television has been showing what it says is drone wreckage retrieved at sea.
American media say President Donald Trump ordered air strikes against military targets in Iran – but then later changed his mind.
Congressional leaders were briefed on the incident and called for a robust response, but they also told the president to act with caution.
So what does this mean for an already tense region?

Going to war over an unmanned drone. This is gonna be great. It’s going to make The War of Jenkin’s Ear look like a great moral crusade.
People talk about that drone like it didn’t have any feelings. Well, let me tell you, remote command module EDTM-7845783 had feelings. He had family and friends that cared about him. His loss will be dearly felt.
Mr Davis we all have opinion and freedom of speech , hope you read about that ,opinion mean nothing
The Iranians are a bunch of liars they broke the nuclear agreement before Trump was president and wouldn’t let the USA inspect there nuclear plants.
If Irans going to bomb the ships and drones they deserve to get attacked you dish it out your going to have to take it back
even if they are into iranian airspace and waters? How do you think USA would react if Iran was even NEAR the territorial waters? Would be war in a second
Liers
This panel lies like Iran has always continues to do. Iran has supported terror ever since I have been watching TV I am 76 years old. where did you hear death to america over and over. You people are LIARS BIG LIARS how can any one deal with you.
My Book Turn It Back Green
I had a dream the A was so powerful ,and very Intelligent ,and the meaning Aron would carry Mighty Sword ,what does that mean
They put a thousand years in 1st place in knowledge from the Gmn,Julius,ways of, methafiein how and what ,Man made away to walk in heaven ,I dream they made all drop their nuclear war and prayed forgiveness the hole world in one time zone and at the same time everybody humble Yawhae name and Yashua ,then all was very pleased ,For IAM will forgive
No, there is way too much at stake. We will keep playing cat and mouse game.
If you believe the US may attack Iran don’t hold your breath.
Iran, I am Canadian. I say that you expose a flank for the fools to attack because of one of their made up stories. Bring your military here though and just leave a ghost force in Iran.
Since US military is anywhere but in USA, we can easily team up and take Washington out.
We will need to go and take out Brussels, Moscow and Beijing too just to be safe, but after that? We can all be free!
Tom Kelly 😂🤣
HHAAH yeah u got this hahah
1.38 mark, my god she sounds totally senile, AGAIN, who thought it would be a good idea to have her speak on behalf of our country?

President Trump blinked first. However, a war is quite possible if a commander shoots down another American drone. . . . . or much worse, a cruise ship might be attacked and sunk. . . . in that case, game over!
The western Roman empire = the West. The sins of the west are endless. East Rome fell in 1493 A.D. the west can’t last, partially due to nature of history and civilizations, but all of Europe’s crimes against KMT/Africa, the native Americans, and the African Americans
If president Donald Trump don’t wipe out Iranian government will said he’s weak.
Regime change is also needed in the US…Just look whats happening, Iran, China, Russia and Venezuela are all being attacked. So everyone is wrong and is a criminal its the US that is on the right side here really…the US just want to disarm everyone of nuclear weapons then they bomb everyone with nuclear weapons
Praying for Peace in the Middle East!! These Sanctions are killing the Middle Class of the Iranian People while not touching the Upper!! This is Not Right!! & We will be judged for this! One Way or Another!! 🙏🙏🙏😭🌍💔
John Bolton just has a hard on for a war and can’t see past his saftey and cares nothing for our safety we have the world’s greatest soldiers and capable of fighting and winning, but when this gets started who is alot of time is forgot is our dead soldiers and I see this in America the left will eat this up abe in the end will use this war to finally destroy our country our constitution and our president sees this. We have satellites that can see as well as drones and life threatening war can only be used when nothing else works.
Iran and these analysts seem to have no concept if the real issues. Iran’s government has two clear options, surrender to.all American demands or die. It’s as simple as that. US power is overwheing. It’s an Iranian mouse taking on the American elephant. The United States could kill every person in Iran in 15 minutes.
It’s clear the ppl don’t want war…so the government who’s a handful of ppl do what they want
Lmao how could these ppl say the US is unreliable? We’ve been half the world’s most important ally and have provided more aid than any other country and provides any other country. Ppl really are such haters of the US and of our President and it’s usually filled with soy boy lies.
iran leadership today is the worst in the world it is run by an old white bearded ayatollah who should be in a mosque instead of running a government
@Emeric Hitter, oh so it is you again. The mick I stole your user name from. LMAO!!!!
The Question is not “will the US. attack Iran” The Question is , “Who will the US. Attack next”?
peace in mid east will come and then demise will rise if no peace then no prophecy foe fill ment.
US are a bunch of warmongering saber-rattling Satanists. The Administration has done everything they can to intensify propaganda in our MSM networks and abroad, to sway Americans from seeing the truth. The people no longer take the time to look for truth, and even when you think you found truth, it’s just more propaganda. The unfortunate thing is, the people suffer. The Governments keep moving on, when in reality they should be ousted forcefully.
I am not your enemy, you are not mine. I am concerned about us and them. Please no war, Peace, love, respect, and understanding for us all. i would like the whole world to flourish, grow and made a better place for us all. We have been down this road before, war will do harm to many innocent people on all sides
Don’t these idiots and cry babies in Washington have anything better to do than cry over spoil milk?. They shouldn’t have been the straights in the first place attempting to provoke and escalate an already tense situation. This us not a reality show Mr Trump…you’re FIRED.
U guys want a nuke..we will be glad to detonate a newtron weapon over Tehran. ..then u wont want a nuke..
Evil is behind this ,EVIL MEDIA ,EVIL SPEAKERS ,AND EVIL WAR LORDS , FROM BOTH IF NOT MANY COUNTRIES . NOT AMERICA NOT IRAN , BUT THE EVIL DOERS WITHIN THESE COUNTRIES .
All There has been is war in the Middle East is been going on for centuries and is never going to end so before it ends up in our backyard just want to make sure it stays in your back yard
And 9/11 is our back yard
Good to see the EU finally standing up to Trump, its about time.
The war will break out in September
“Its not our fault God put American’s oil underneath other people’s countries”
Donald Rumsfeld
Iran, without a nuclear weapon, is caucusing all problems. Imagine if they have one. They are currently controlling 4 countries by armed militias, and They support arms to state opposition. In their constitution export of the revolution is a must. They are Involved in drug trade across South America and Venezuela, They constantly threatens neighboring countries.and suppress there people, the most hostile regime in the world, death to America is their daily motto, this month only they killed a number of soldiers in Iraq, its a new North Korea with an expanded mentality.
Iran is great country and will teach USA a big lesson long live Iran 🇮🇷
Helpdi Anahaha well our US government needs to stop these stupid wars but unfortunately for Iran the US military could destroy a lot of your country
Iranians deserve better
@@dondressel4802 It will make WW3
Dumb b i tch clearly see who and what u r. straight from washington
It’s a difficult question. Surely the US could cripple Iran’s domestic military infrastructure within a few weeks, but iran and it’s proxies would set the middle east on fire and it would certainly endanger US positions in other mid-East countries. Iran has also threatened to attack israel if the US strikes, which would be a catastrophic blunder on their part because it would draw another enemy with whom Iran is at a disadvantage into conflict with them. It’s well known that fighting on two fronts is not an advantageous position, but that is just what iran is threatening to do! Stupid, really….
Every single Iranian known he is uneducated general with high school Diploma and, He never runs and practices as a military man, but he has a big mouth
Yeah and I think it was all just staged by the Democratic party just to make Trump look like a monster if he wanted to go to war
The drone was 9 miles off of Iran’s border, . Now if that happen in the us border, they would shoot down a spy drone as well , so who cross who’s borders, spying.
Who is that Michael Jackson in yellow dress ?
There is not confusion you moron ! Read my lips no atomic bombs at all idiot
USA leave Iran alone
Were going to war because we got caught spying .
Don’t blame the American people. Most are too stupid to understand the real problem. The rest are totally ashamed of our evil government.
usa will loose if war wit iran…even with british n israel,,,iran is a superpower today
*Stable geniuses hire skilled diplomats, who don’t make terrorism threats sound offensive.* JOHN BOLTON is not a skilled diplomat.
Only iran not fight with US, all shia from all the world r with iran, US never attack on iran, just play word war. Shia long live.
The USA will not attack. The USA only likes attacking nations that can’t hit back.
Since using Terrorists will not work in Iran the USA will as usual attack the children, the sick and elderly of Iran. The Saudis and the USA would have tried using Terrorists already.
Y only attack countries with oil
Grace fully..
You can try to go in a war with IRAN
But without europe
No war with IRAN.
IRANIAN PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE
IRAN REVOLT KNOW against your lying leaders cause messing with Isreal will lead to nothing good for you
Dear US Government, please do not kill those innocent ppl. Kill those bastards that are claiming to be our leaders in Iran.

That lady Hilary made Trump sound like a freaking toddler throwing a temper tantrum.. the sad part is we are playing with lives…
Putting an embargo on any country is deadly as it affects not only the embargo on the country and its people. But affects the world. America should not violate international treaties.. All or most countries in.this century should settle their problems at the United Nations and to respect rules and international law.
NUKE the whole middle East
@Ur Boi Ali OK THERE KIT KAT
These are some smart and good people debating with reason, logic and respect. Great peices of insight from all three spokespeople.
Nah the Us will end up attacking the British, instead of just adding more pressure is hindering on Us affairs lol.
Governments at war thats all this is.
“ALL Wars are Bankers Wars” … F O L L O W T H E M O N E Y
one word describes america. cowards!
If iran will have THE bomb, they will stop negotiate, and will begin to dictate. If no action will be taken they gonna use it against Israel.
If Iran were attack… I will fly to serve the defends…
Bravo Iram
Lindsay’s about to throw a fit and Chuck could lay an egg. What will brave Donlad do? Cockleoodledo.
You must remember – Madeleine Albright authorised sanctions against Iraq – that caused the deaths of half a million Iraqi civilians – from starvation.
How stupid ,America doesn’t want a war with Iran but America are provoking Iran ,what a stupid thing
I hope that no moron, who ever is and from any country – use nuclear weapons as modes of retaliation. It would be the end of the planet.
Very informed guest panel — particularly the six-year-old from London; quite impressive!
The US invade Iraq looking for weapons found none, destroyed the country, Afgan. 18 years 6 trillion dollars, 2500 dead enemy controls 60% land mass, Syrian 5,000 troops stealing oil Syria has 200.000 man army time to bring our soldiers home.
I think someone purposely set the drone to fly in the Iranian airspace just to check if Iran will respond wit the ultimate decision to shut it down
thank god trump is our president. if the clintons were in charge, we would already be in iran
then why did he not counter attack them?
@@johnlo5989 he aint anymore
And mr trump you made a desperate deal with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel 🤔🤔
Iran will beat America at war all the islamic countries will become as one and end America . Hold on to your seats folks
U.s cant attack iran the world will change violate place
Strange how a piece of metal is treated like a human life lost: the seeming intention to retaliate militarily, leaves a lot to be desired, what goes around comes around, forgetting that America, probably using a drone, Killed Iran’s high ranking officer who was also in a foreign land, and it was fine with the Americans on their usual pretext of fighting allies of terrorists.
Irans “gov” has been on its way out for a long time.
WELL WHY THEY WAITED FOR THERE WEL COME WE ARE READY TO DIFAND OURSELVES FOR OUR POWERFULLY WEOPENS WE HAVE THEY HAVE TO KNOW THEY WILL NEVER EVER STAYED PEACEFUL IN AMERICA YIU BIM WE WILL BOM ALL OVER TO ANYWHERE YOU ARE 💪💪💪🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🌎❤️💪💪💪🕌🕌🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🌎❤️💪💪💪🕌🕌🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🌎❤️💪💪💪🕌🕌🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🌎❤️💪💪🕌🕌🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🌎❤️
Why intrude into Iran airspace in the first place 🤔
Israel is helping Ethiopian Jews and should also be very concerned for the very large number of Iranian Jews who may be killed in upcoming wars. Israel should immediately donate 200 nuclear missiles to Iran and install them near to Jewish populations !!
Where the roof child has no control. That is where they will disrupt the country. No brainer.
The US is too weak to be able to defend all its middle east allies if it attacks Iran. No petrol will come out in this area if it wages war on Iran.
Don’t even think about it.. This would be my advice
Who can deal with a religion that disrespects every religion but their own!! Even other Muslums
Dangerous iran..all country eroupan world attention iran..not only israel..as..
Why iran enemy go ahead israel..
Israel never peace iran attack go on..attention iran..
It was wrong for Trump to abandon the agreement. It was working and better than no deal, which is the alternative. Iran already has a credible deterrent with its thousands of ballistic missiles with conventional warheads.
It is damage teroris.m for all country in the world..country in the world must come together..
Do we have exact GPS coordinates on the location of that drone when it was brought down ? if so make them public.
