from iran? >> first of all i have no plans rightav now that working us in seven or 14,000 additional troops to the middle east. but what i've said consistently to congress isn't to others is sit on a weekly basis, a daily basis, we monitor it's happening in the persian gulf. we watch what ironic doing so we understand what they are their intentions are. what i am trying to do is number one assure our allies such as riese saudis and others in the region. number two freedom of the seas, number three hold up the international rules -based order. so what i am trying to do from the defense department is to deter iranian bad behavior. if you'll recall several months ago, they were going after ships in the street, they shot down one of our drones. we reached a.where we deterred further iranian bad behavior. but as we see bad behavior and intentions changing, i will change our posture for that deterrence. >> he said there are certain things they aren't doing.
