let's get more now on president trump's comments that alan fischer joins us live now from the pentagon i'm so we heard the president say that the u.s. took action not to start a war but to stop a war does it sound to you like the president was trying to the escalator events. it sounds as if that is certainly the tone coming from the trumpet ministration movement might pompeo on the foreign turn number of world leaders a number of allies in the in the last few hours saying that look with the united states is very keen on deescalation donald trump said the thing this he's going to get criticism for is that this decision was made because of some compelling intelligence that had passed to him and of course he described the u.s. intelligence agencies as the best in the world these are the same intelligence agencies that donald trump himself has criticized particularly when it comes to them talking about russian interference in the 26000 election seems to all roads go back to there. it also appears that don't trump has been considering this sort of operation for some time he says that a numb

so i like not to alan fischer in washington and ireland as you say in their donald trump came not to talk about that the plane crash directly in his tweets but talking more about the protests going on in iran. it's unusual that he would tweet an english and in farsi clearly someone who runs a social media. that did that because we don't think donald trump speaks farsi certainly has never given a vacation of that in the past it's an interesting tweet his well to say that he stands by the people of iran when less than a week ago he was threatening to commit what is essentially a war crime by bombing cultural sites but it shows that he is perhaps trying to tamp down all possible question of escalating the tension between the united states and iran at the moment and that seems to be the message that is going across all government departments or at the 24 hours or so after iran acknowledged its military short don't a civilian aircraft that the americans have not tried to make any capital of it and of course you remember there are questions about the americans perhaps escalating tensions i
