And its great to have you with us here on a thursday night. And we are monitoring this showdown between the u. S. And iran tonight, reaching a new flashpoint after the iranians shot down an american surveillance drone. Here are the pictures tonight from the pentagon. New u. S. Surveillance that they say shows that drone that was struck falling from the sky. They say the iranians used a surface to air missile to do this. To give you an idea of what this drone looks like, this is the type of surveillance drone, as wide as the wingspan of a 737. Iran says the u. S. Was in iranian airspace. The u. S. Says they were not. President trump suggesting today maybe the shootdown was a mistake, that it could have been someone, quote, loose and stupid. But tonight, news coming out of an Emergency Meeting in the Situation Room, and Martha Raddatz leads us off with new images tonight now from the iranians, seeming to declare this was no mistake. Reporter iran claims this is its surface to air Missile Streaking towards the u. S. Drone last night at 7 30 p. M. Eastern time, exploding on impact, a huge fireball filling the screen. The video is not verified. The u. S. Military also releasing its own video of the stricken aircraft plummeting into the water. Shortly after, iranian tv announces the shootdown, claiming it was in iranian airspace. Its Revolutionary Guard Corps stating, an enemy that violates our borders will not return and will be destroyed. The global hawk, one of americas most sophisticated unmanned surveillance aircraft, its wingspan as broad as a 737, took off from an airbase in the uae hours earlier, monitoring the gulf of oman, where recent attacks were carried out on oil tankers, and over the strait of hormuz, that vital oil shipping airway, if international airspace, says the u. S. When the drone was hit, the u. S. Navy surging its partner ships through seas to the debris field to recover what they could of the classified aircraft. At 10 15 a. M. , after President Trump is briefed, he tweets this stern warning, iran made a very big mistake just over an hour later, irans Foreign Minister Firing back on twitter, we dont seek war, but will zealously defend our skies, land and waters. At 12 15, the u. S. Military weighs in, pinpointing where the drone was hit, some 21 miles from the iranian coast, well away from the 12mile territorial limit, in sharp contrast to the iranian claim the drone went down over its territorial waters. This was an unprovoked attack on a u. S. Surveillance asset that had not violated iranian airspace at any time during its mission. Iranian reports that this aircraft was shot down over iran are categorically false. Reporter at 12 40 today, from the oval office, President Trump with further warnings. They made a very bad mistake. Reporter but then, a strange twist. The president seeming to question whether iran intended to shoot down the drone and even the significance of the attack. I would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drone down. I find it hard to believe it was intentional, if you want to know the truth. I think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it. And Martha Raddatz, who was on the air with me today, with us live tonight. And as this was unfolding, martha, tonight, the president even suggesting it could have been a mistake, but the iranians, as you reported there, are not backing off their claims of responsibility tonight. Reporter they arent, david. And as you know, miscalculation has always been a fear during this incredibly tense time with iran, but today, iranian officials themselves made it very clear, this Wasnt Some Rogue iranian officer accidentally firing a missile, iran shot that drone down on purpose, david. Martha raddatz leading us off tonight. Martha, thank you. There was an Emergency Meeting in the Situation Room late today at the white house. Leaders of both parties urgently headed to the white house. And mary bruce is there tonight. Reporter late today, President Trump summoning congressional leaders to the Situation Room for an Emergency Briefing on iran. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a warning. I dont think the president wants to go to war. Theres no appetite for going to war in our country. Reporter many republicans are also urging caution. Continue doing what were doing. Military restraint, maximum pressure otherwise. Reporter but some of trumps top allies are encouraging the president to do more. Senator Lindsey Graham says iran needs to get ready for some, quote, severe pain. All i can tell you, if youre not willing to stand up to aggression, youre going to get hurt. Heres what i believe about donald trump. Hes a dealmaker, hes trying to avoid conflict, but this is truly a defining moment for him. Reporter but the president says hes not being pressured into a conflict by his own team. Do you believe there are members of your administration who are trying to push you into conflict with iran . No, not at all. Not at all. In fact, in many cases, it is the opposite. But i will say, look, i said, i want to get out of these endless wars. I campaigned on that. Reporter trump also campaigned on ending the iran nuclear deal, which he did last year. Speaker pelosi says thats part of the problem. When we walked away from that, we lost some credibility with our allies. Reporter and tonight, former Vice President joe biden calls trumps iran strategy a selfinflicted disaster. Mary bruce with us live at the white house tonight. Mary, youre learning new details about the meeting in the Situation Room . Reporter well, david, coming out of that meeting, republican leader Mitch Mcconnell told reporters that the white house is engaged in measured responses. While democratic leader Chuck Schumer says hes worried that the president and his Administration May be, quote, bumbling into a war. David . All right, mary bruce and Martha Raddatz tonight. Thank you both. And our coverage of the u. S. And iran for now. If there are any new developments, we will bring them to you. In the meantime tonight, that bombshell that stunned a courtroom today. It happened in the War Crimes Trial of a former navy s. E. A. L. , accused of murdering a captured isis fighter. A fellow navy s. E. A. L. Taking the stand, saying he was the one who killed the prisoner. Prosecutors shouting, the courtroom shocked. And heres abcs will carr. Reporter decorated navy s. E. A. L. Edward gallagher was upbeat this morning, just before a bombshell exploded in his murder trial. One of his former team members took the stand and testified that he killed the wounded teenage isis fighter, seen in this iraqi tv video, not gallagher. Prosecutors have accused gallagher, a sniper and a medic, of war crimes, including the captured teens murder. Today, they called Special Operator First Class corey scott as a witness for their case. Scott told the court He Saw Gallagher take out his knife and plunge it into the wounded prisoner. But then scott, who is a medic, as well, and who has immunity in exchange for his testimony, said that he, not gallagher, killed the teen by plugging his airway, claiming he acted to save the prisoner from being tortured by iraqi forces. I knew he was going to die anyway, scott said. Caught offguard, the lead prosecutor raised his voice, and accused the prosecutions own witness of changing his story and lying to protect his fellow s. E. A. L. Scott later testified, gallaghers got a wife and family. I dont think he should be spending his life in prison. Gallaghers defense attorney pouncing. Today, for the first time, somebody went to one of these witnesses and actually asked the real question what is the cause of death . And what we learned, chief gallagher is not guilty of murder. So, lets get to will carr with us live tonight. Will, youve been tracking this case and you said there in your report that this navy s. E. A. L. Who testified today had been granted immunity. So, what does this mean after what he said today, does he face possible charges . Reporter david, it means he cannot be charged with murder, but could still face a perjury charge. Keep in mind that part of the s. E. A. L. s creed is, my word is my bond. Tonight, that s. E. A. L. Says hes the one who killed the teenager, not his boss, who is on trial. David .

The more than 5,000 posts going back at least eight years.
