Rebuffed these claims. they have refused the exact coordinates. its come up and said it intended to hit the drone. it wasnt an accident. there was a manned aircraft that it chose not to hit. why is iran responding the way it is. >> i think the iranians are frustrated with the economic pressure on them. they realize that washingtons very comfortable applying pressure on iran. irans economy is now in shambles. the united states wants to reduce irans oil to zero, wants to bankrupt the economy, crus...

Tehran and find out ourselves. senior national correspondent fred pleitgen. hi there, fred. a lot of this has to do with the coordinates of where this drone was shot down. first, any reaction from the iranians when the-- about these strikes being planned and called off. >> reporter: early this morning so far there hasnt been any specific reactions to the "new york times" article possibly calling off their airstrikes after president trump approved the airstrikes. you have to keep in mind, today i...

Saying about what president trump said about this possibly being an accident is not their line. theyre saying it was shot down deliberately because it was in their air space. they tweeted out the coordinates. we checked those out. those would be nine miles off the iranian coast. that would put it within iranian territorial waters. the u.s., of course, has a very different take on that saying it was about 20 miles off the iranian coast which would put it in international air space. that is still ...

Happen? what would have had to have happened in the afternoon? >> well, the timeline to get prepared is short because theres so many in the region already. we have aircraft there. i would guess that those ships and those aircraft were told to be ready by about, id say, early afternoon yesterday. early to mid to late afternoon. somewhere in that time frame. somewhere between 2:00 and 5:00 would be my guess. im just guessing. it only takes a matter of a few hours to get that spun up. because its n...

President trump, the lead in, where he says this could have been some sort of rogue commander, someone making a mistake. the iranians are unequivocally saying this is not a mistake. they are saying they shot down the drone because it went into their air space. the u.s. says the drone was shot down outside of iranian air space about 20 miles off the iranian coast. however, irans foreign minister came out with a tweet and he even put coordinates in the tweet. we checked those out. those would put ...

Then circled around. it had its transponder off. it violated iranian air space and gave coordinates for where he said the drone was shot down. we looked up those coordinates. that would put it about 9 miles off the iranian coast. again, the u.s. has a very different view of where that drone was shot down. the iranians for their part, however -- this is coming from the military, the revolutionary guard which is the unit that shot that drone down -- theyre saying this is definitely a clear message...

Pretty much all of them seem to be in sync. irans foreign minister is getting involved in this. he pretty much tweeted a play-by-play how he saw this unfold. he said it had its transponder off and then he said it violated irans airspace and even gave coordinates where he said the drone was shot down. that would put it about nine miles off the iranian coast. again, the u.s., of course, has a very different view of where that drone was shot down. the iranians, for their part, however, are saying, ...

Saying according to this reuters story no, we are not going to talk to you. brian: why would we talk to them. blowing up tankers of our allies and blow up our drone and then we will talk to them. makes us look so weak. ainsley: we have already hit them in sanctions. brian: sanctions in place. they have had unresponded, unresponded military attacks on us and our allies. ainsley: you know the president. something is happening behind the scenes. there is a reason he hunkered down. some reason for t...

And talk show hosts. you really have to get the experts in the room to tell you whats going on and what the potentially repercussions are. i havent heard a lot of talk about advice from the chairman of the joint chiefs, who has the war plans and contingency operations and what might be done. all ive heard about so far on air is about the competing demands of the war hawks versus the peace-niks within the administration, thats not the way to do a process to develop a strategy for iran. >> robin, ...

This proves that -- some of the evidence that they have released proves that the global hawk drone, which flies at a very high altitude, flying over international waters. not over iran at the time. as hard for us to tell from the evidence that the u.s. military has presented, if, in fact, that was the case. you would want to know where the debris landed, and its hard to know the coordinates, but from what the u.s. military is saying, that drone was in international waters about 20 miles from the...
