Value your old life you will not threaten the lives of our people. This morning President Trump addressed the nation announcing new economic sanctions against iran this after the country launched more than a dozen Ballistic Missiles at 2 military bases in iraq, housing us military and Coalition Forces it happened last night the president also noted that United States is not looking to escalate the situation any further and wants to embrace peace political analyst tom double karl joins us now in the studio so. Tom does this mean that this back and forth with the attacks is over. Well actually i think it has peaked 3 important things the shots that iran took word at secondary basis, not direct american someone. Number 2. They their foreign minister said that this was a de escalation or made reference to Something Like that and importantly number 3 they declared victory in lied about how many lives they took declaring victory is an important thing usually declare victory at the end of something not during the middle of it. So i think this is going to de escalate and i think its going to move off the back pages and now its incumbent on the white house to go into overdrive with european allies and the rest he mention nato to begin to do back channel discussions and sort of bring this down further that doesnt mean iran is not going to try to destabilize the middle east and to all the rest of the stuff they do they will. But i think direct confrontation for the United States is through for now im thats the immediate indication except that there are also other rumblings that you know the revenge. May continue in less overt ways through yet, 5 are those kind of things has attacked a United States 12 times in the last 2 months or United States interests they want to drive the United States out of the middle east because its their goal to be the preeminent power within the middle east they already have operational control in some respects in iraq that the who tees in yemen, they have their presence in syria. So theres no question theyre not going to stop doing that the question is how we can have is the intense tension we had the 9th last 96 hours. Ronson going anywhere in the short run, and sadly probably not in the long run politically as just a plus or a minus for President Trump you have mike lee a republican who is very unhappy with the briefing that came out. Justifying the attack on soleimani yeah i i know mike i watched i watched that hes he said he supports the president didnt like the way they handled the briefing. The us an important question is this a plus for trump. Ask me in 6 months because the re the reality is if if it comes down then its going to be a big plus its a its a plus right now. But if it escalated next week. It could change wait and see im sorry i im less concerned about whether this is a plus for trump. Then it is is this a plus for the American People this process, a 100 so money is. Arguably the worst person in the last half century in the middle east. Because unlike Osama Bin Laden who was in a cave or safe house soleimani had an enormous least d state light. He was and i hate to use this word as talented to the evil guy as weve had in the last 40 years looking our committee placement is somebody whos been side by side under for the last 20 years and the debt really not much is going to change i can be side by side with a lebron james, and it wouldnt matter in the end no he was very intense like if you compare this what reagan did with gadhafi the if taking out of qaddafi change the behavior because they saw how dramatic it was a look. Theres no guarantee at all with this remember iran needs the United States as a bogeyman so that they can stay a dictatorship americas the problem not us and they say that throughout they put out these all these pictures of victory and Everything Else so that the middle east thinks americas the bad guys and in this attack play right into that narrative that they have in iran. Well. In the face of escalation of 11 straight attack elevens hacks into months sometimes you have to do Something Like reagan did with gadhafi yes in the short term it gives them telling their people that we did the right thing but in the long term, the curbs there it curbs their ability along with his sanctions.
