Unconvinced by the evidence presented so far to justify a conference where we saw mike pompei o the u. S. Secretary of state speaking alongside steve minutiae in the secretary of treasury and this comes just a week after the killing of irans top general qassam solomonic and as the press asked questions got particularly taps mike palm peo seemed a little bit uncomfortable trying to answer the questions of journalists who just dont seem to buy his claim that the killing of solomonic was necessary to protect american lives lets take a listen to some of what went on if you have specific information about the threat and didnt have anything to do with our coming to see if. We had specific emanation information on an imminent threat and those threats trim included attacks on u. S. Embassies what is your definition of it in that. This was going to be an american lives. Yes the Intelligence Community is not flawless we we get it wrong in this case the Intelligence Community got a fundamentally right there was an imminent. Body is that right now gone with sort of money gone threats are never going now it wasnt just the journalists who dont exactly buy pompei as claims but american lawmakers also have their doubts we just saw in the u. S. House of representatives the lower house of u. S. Legislative branch a resolution was passed attempting to restore it to the activities of the trumpet ministration and trying to prevent them from further escalating tensions with the Islamic Republic of iran however these doubts about whether it was the right thing in order to kill qassam solomonic go well beyond legislators and journalists they actually go to the us public itself we have new poll results that have been conducted and it shows that basically 2 thirds of the u. S. Public believes at this point that the country is less safe because of trumps decision to kill the top iranian general furthermore 69 percent of the u. S. Public believes that iran is more likely to attack the usa as a result of trumps decisions 52 percent describe trump killings qassam solomonic as reckless so a pretty solid opposition to tromso killing of qassam solomonic among American People themselves i think there is a lot of. American public. Concern about the assassination and the fact that it new polls are showing people think that it made americans less safe and so what was the point and i dont think people are buying the terms explanation that he gave that it was because of an imminent attack on the u. S. Embassy while at the press conference mike peo and steve minutia laid out basically what these new sanctions will include the new sanctions are targeting high level officials in iran basically preventing any biz. Transactions with them but when explaining these new sanctions a mike bomb peo used some rather interesting language to lay out what he argued was the ultimate end game of the United States when it comes to iran president said we dont want war we want iran to be able to mobilization the reason that secretary treasurer this morning is to continue this campaign our strategic effort to get to run to behave in a way that doesnt continue their 40 year long effort to terrorize the world if you hear those words he refers to saying that he wants iran to be a quote normal country so essentially it seems the United States is ask a lady threats and carrying out more sanctions with the goal of forcing the Islamic Republic to conduct itself in a manner that the United States considers to be normal not exactly clear what that means but until that happens there will be further activities and sanctions and threats and what not now many are hoping that the Current Situation is in a state of deescalation but at the same time people worry about what could happen next you know the sanctions still remain iran still has the capabilities we saw the recent strikes that took place so a lot of nervousness in the Global Community at the moment. The Prime Minister has demanded that the u. S. Begin preparations for a troop pullout and in a phone call the os the u. S. Secretary of state to send a delegation to iraq to work out with through a mechanism but the u. S. State department has responded to this by hailing americas military presence in the middle east as a force for good what it can see it has moved the type. Of us familiar with the situation you invite someone over to say a friend they stay and stay and stay you drop a hint you know its getting late comment todd but they just dont get it. America is a force for good in the middle east and a delegation sam to iraq would be dedicated to discussing how to be recommit to our Strategic Partnership not to discuss troop withdrawal what complicates things is that your unwelcome guest is heavily armed and has a tendency to how do you put this kill your other guests you call make this up americans kill an arabian general in iraq iran then shoots back a bunch of Ballistic Missiles in revenge out of iraq i mean these poor rocky guys theyve done nothing and everyones bombing them so you can understand if theyre a little sick of it all and point to the door we want to restart the civil war again among the shia we dont want this to happen were not a battlefield between the usa and around so whoever wants to hit the usa should do that outside of this country. That all of these troops must leave because they have turned iraq into a battlefield and its astonishing the americans are saying no we dont care that you voted for us to leave we wont and just in case that wasnt enough of a slap in the face actually going to call more of their friends over to iraq and nato played and then you have any middle east you know they told me i said what a beautiful name nato personnel in the region to know youre supposed to us to be honest with you because this is an international problem. Today and need to delegation is at the state department to discuss increasing natures role in the iraq situation is absurd it makes a joke a mockery of International Law and simple decency and as does anything absurd has the internet buzzing. America is a force for good in the middle is and will start to civil war to prove you need our protection given military forces the against the wishes of the people who live there its called occupation when we said we wanted to bring a democracy in we didnt mean you could use it to make your own decisions iraq asks u. S. Troops to leave the country but president pompei o refuses instead his state Department Issues a statement the 1st sentence reads america is a force for good in the middle east remember if you say i am so cool then youre not cool theres a lesson here i suppose you cant be friends with a superpower theyll call your friend al patch on the head but when push comes to shove you are just another poor bombed out nation thats going to do as youre told right or north out of body outlanders thing there are no real reasons for the us to stay in iraq. It takes theres you know well i think your eyes is in there are we dont want them to come back but this is completely fabricated excuses to be honest because this is that. It is it is that actually is they are accurate is that it really is it is all its you know simple. And very completely you know i dont believe that its actions of theirs i mean. Unless you have to wonder to come back and want to finance them this is the only the only way for those that say to come back. Im going to pull out. Here today actually im going to lose the lucian. Problems. Thank president Vladimir Putin ski has tweeted his gratitude for american support over wednesdays crash of passion jet in iran after he spoke to the u. S. Secretary of state by face. Had a phone call with secretary pompei are grateful for the condolences of the American People and valuable support of the u. S. In investigating the causes of the plane crash information obtained from the us will assist in the investigation. Earlier washington passed quote important data relating to the incident ukraines leader the u. S. Canada and the u. K. All do say now that they have evidence suggesting a rocket from iran itself brought down Ukrainian International airline a jet killing all a 176 people on board iran though denies any missile was involved and has invited International Experts to monitor its investigation. Does immediate family photos will allow the americans the french the canadians of the swedish to come here and see how we investigate this crash right specials board has some cameras in america that investigate crashes we trust those aboard its what we can say with absolute certainty is that no missile has had the spray these are the latest pictures from the crash site passengers belongings so we seen here the area reportedly is no longer cordoned off and investigators are no longer present either earlier iran said wreckage from the aircraft have now been collected and taken to a safe location ukraines foreign minister said that experts from his country had been given access to the flight recorders and fragments of the crashed jet but the planes black boxes recovered from the site have been shown by the Iranian State media turan says the claim the jet was downed by a missile are illogical and impossible although later begs to differ. We are no reason to. Believe reports we have seen from different a little odd couples have expressed concern about of. Information indicating that. The plane may have been downed by Iranian Air Defense systems. Are now looks at how the speculation has been mounting even before any probe has been carried out. Nothing instills confidence in International Leaders more than my love of precise language. We have intelligence from multiple sources including around lies and our own intelligence. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an array near the surface to air missile and it was flying in a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake some people say was be can it go i personally dont think thats. Even a question there is now a body of information that the fly was shot down by an iranian surface to air missile this may well have been an intentional were working closely with canada and our International Partners and they now need to be a full transparent investigation on specific intelligence unnamed allies multiple mysterious sources hardly the right one expects a at that level of diplomacy and b. When discussing the tragedy thats left 176 dead its on surprising that iran has batted off this latest slew of unfounded allegations about the crash of Ukrainian Airlines flight 75. 00 to a nudge for calm and not check to prevail scientifically it is impossible that a missile hit the ukrainian plane and such room is illogical its not an unreasonable request the investigation into the events of wednesday morning which saw the boeing 737 bound crash just minutes after takeoff has only just begun final report into aviation disasters take months if not years to be published they require coordination between numerous government organizations which is why iran has invited multiple investigators including from boeing to visit the crash site in the meantime all there is a series with nothing but unnamed sources to back it all up which is why amid all the confusion and contradictions the ukrainian president who lost 11 of his citizens that more. As they returned home also called for an end to all the chatter annoys. Everyone to refrain from speculation conspiracy theories hasty conclusions and unverified versions and its not a topic for hype but the spiraling tensions between tehran and washington especially in the past week have triggered an unprecedented level of scrutiny on the region and people dont seem willing to heed calls for calm especially when they feel the tide might be turning in a favored direction iraq could Strike Missile system is among the main working theories since there was information on the internet about elements of the Russian Missile being found near the site of the crash it didnt take long for the Mainstream Media to jump on that bandwagon c. N. N. Has never been one to turn down an unverified source especially when russia is involved pointed the finger at a bomb or missile new evidence indicates iran shot down ukrainian flight 75 to with 2 surface to air missiles made by russia an undeniable evidence they offered a photo from twitter posted on the count that was later suspended maybe it breached the companys fake news guidelines but nonetheless even all the way across the pond the hysteria continued for the 1st one is the possibility that that plane was hit by a Russian Missile just after takeoff independent also published an article citing something called the o. P. s group an independent organization which has little to recommend itself other than it provides information and aviation professionals and foxs thats according to its twitter page nevertheless it felt confident enough to recommend people just assume the plane was shot down until evidence to the contrary emerges guilty until proven innocent its a new name of the game in todays political land. Well its been claimed that a new video here does show a missile streaking into the night sky over to iran and exploding as it hits an object various Media Outlets are saying it was taken at the time ukraine was on its flight lets get some reaction to all of this with the political will be but as the joins us hes the director of the International DialogueFoundation Good evening to you should be a thanks for coming on as we just heard from sask is report there a lot of speculation in the media many people blaming iran already for this what extent do you think all this all this speculation actually interferes with the investigation. But look in so far as investigation is concerned you know we have the report quite rightly pointed out mysterious multiple sources the realities that when there were a situation like this a rise is if it doesnt concerned the western power is and then the blame game starts and all these you know are unknown source is intelligence figures appear on the horizon to blame a particularly nation who is you know fighting at many fronts with the us a and the washington consensus so you rand quite easily is sort of blamed that the plane was you know stuck struck by some missing and there is no evidence as to be can remember what couple of years ago when the nuff with chalk incident happened in u. K. Russia was blamed with lout investigation so continuously this happens every really its incredible its an laugh of bull it set times really is disingenious for us ca a nation or the only nation in history which down a passenger a plane into 1st gulf war that is the war that was taking place between iraq and iran between 108088 that passenger plane was downed by us and it wasnt by mistake it was done intentionally it was done very clearly visibly and you know no one blames us send till this day us it has not apologized so this or dash shias of miss to palm pill or and i dont know why was to trudeau really comes of the horizon saying that we have information how does mr true do have this information and the chief comment sunny so the whole narrative is being built in such a manner no really. Without really investigating it should be i suppose they would argue look our Intelligence Services have provided with this information although were not obliged to tell the public about it thats what they say but just on your point how helpful is it for someone like someone like nato and its secretary general to come out and say theres no reason not to believe that iran was to blame this is you know just barely the investigation got underway it could take months before its finished and yet straightaway someone in Authority Like him has said you know theres no reason not to believe it was around. Well look as far as intelligence reports are concerned and we all recall very well what happened with the w m d and you know iraq was going to attack us in 45 minutes and mr powell at the United Nations showing a small sort of bottle that this is the chemicals which are which are saddam would use so all of these intensely report but i think the key thing to remember for all the audience and i want to appeal to your viewers that mr palm piro this the secretary of state of us see quite proudly says that we lie cheat and beastie and not only we do that but we actually have the manual and we teach others how to do it so when the secretary of state of usa says that theyre lies they cheat and steal then i think the Global Community must really understand that each time anything that comes out of washington out of out of london out of paris is untruthful and really does not give information in a correct manner to the public to come to a rational and logical conclusion although in their defense i suppose if their information is correct it should be made pretty clear. Whether this missile if it was an right he missed all the hit the plane as the investigation progresses but what i was going to say she beer is its unfair to say everybodys reacted like this because there have been some pretty sort of course of course his remarks to you know to be from the president but also from the u. S. Foreign policy chief to lets just listen to what Joseph Burrell said. You know that. Question really this has been advance into possibility or. Not an accident but i dont know and it would be quite responsible for my side to influence news about such a sensitive scene we saw how we could create information. It is not the response that you would expect from. At this stage what are your thoughts well i agree look weve got to be cautious and as your report quite rightly pointed out that when and incidentally like this happens it takes not only weeks months perhaps
