forcefully against the trump administration saying their ties to iran are legitimate and don't believe the u.s. should be infringing on the ties. meanwhile the iranians roadway main in defiance and flexing their military muscles. one things they did at the drills is test a new sur false to air missile system. which has a range of 100 miles and new and advanced radar. as cnn is reporting apparently the pentagon turned down a request by central command to beef up military resources of the united states in the persian gulf region. believing that possibly there could be a reaction by the iranians to the sanctions. there's no evidence of that happening at this point. one of the things the iranians threatened in the past and close the vital strait. to which 20% of the world oil is exported. so far no sign of that happening. something the u.s. feared could happen in the past. >> major impact.
