there is some uncertainty in the global community about who did conduct those attacks. you did not see a lot of signatory to the iran nuclear deal besides the uk pointing the finger at iran the way that the united states did. now the question is how is president donald trump going to respond? he has exhausted a lot of his nonmilitary options and imposed a very strict sanctions regime on iran and designated the irgc as a terrorist group, so he is running out of options here and this, of course, is coming at a time when his national security team has been 24ithinned out ane does not have a national perm security adviser or a national director of intelligence so difficult for a policy situation that president donald trump finds himself in. >> sarah westwood, thank you. bob mcnally, you worked to protect the facility while president bush's national security council. did you see something like this coming?
