it is high altitude drone. it is not something from a shoulder fire. not some rogue unit that decided to fire. if so, then you would really question whether the regime is still in control of the military there. and i would say that what i am hearing him say is that perhaps the military options that he has been presented are such that he doesn t want to be cornered into having to respond in a serious military way. so he s going to give the iranian some wiggle room that maybe it was a rogue unit, and this is a way to get back to the negotiating table. harris: thank you, jennifer, very much. on this very matter, taking questions. we will watch and listen together. president trump: is the drone was in international waters, clearly. it s documented scientifically.
very successful man. we talked about electric currents today. i think nobody knows more about that subject in terms of common sense then roger penske. he will be receiving the presidential medal of freedom. do you still hold that opinion? president trump: oh, absolutely. when i came here, iran was in 14-18 different ways of conflict. they were screaming death to america. and i think probably iran made a mistake. i would imagine it was a general or somebody that made a mistake in shooting that drowned down. fortunately, it was unarmed. there was no man in it. over international waters. clearly, but we did not have a man or woman in the drone. would have made a big difference. i tell you what, would have made a big, big difference.

listen there, as we all work, the reporters were asking where they they not taking questions. they want to make the video feed available to everybody in the media. a central command apparently will handle whatever questions they have. i m not sure what the format will be. you see people pulling up. that was a lot to hear. flying in international airspace, not over iran, as some reports are coming through. iran does not have independent media. perhaps that is where this is coming from. what we are told from that lieutenant general is that it fell into international waters. of course, this is a picture of what the drone looks like. and the concern here is that it was at high altitude. there were a couple of points that were mentioned. unprovoked attack.
