fundament fundamentally reorganizing obamacare. the president has. come forward with a come prehinsive health care policy his bottom line is he ll do it after the republicans win back the house. that means going into this election, the president doesn t have a firm unified policy. this is around the margins and it s ideologically fitting with his party. chris? you talk about the three-pronged approach. would it be fair to say at least in this case, employers and insurers have been in faber of this par of it of what s been the reaction to this? i think that s fair to say. they want more access to consumers and individuals that can pay for it.
they may absolutely believe iran is behind this, but they re expression concern about hawkish rhetoric. they re calling for de-escalation. what are the implications here? i mean, look, this is not the only threat that the u.s. and the u.s. military has been talking about for weeks now. we ve seen the threat ebb and flow and the engs thees go up and down. we ve been traveling here in the region for about 12 days now, and during that, the general said the maritime threat had seemed to not necessarily completely go away but that it had de-escalated a bit. well now, of course, it s back to where it was in early may when we first heard the u.s. talking about these threat streams. as you know, chris, it s actually three differential threat streams they re talking about. one is the maritime one against civilian ships against these
tankers, one is a threat from the houthis in yemen. we saw that play out this week as well when a houthi missile hit a saudi airport in southern saudi arabia, saudi arabia craso a hallway and juinjure two doze people there. so these are these threat streams we ve been hearing about for some time but the tensions as the rhetoric on both sides and the actions are actually playing out, tensions continue to build, chris. so is there a diplomatic off ramp, i know the japanese prime minister, shinzu abe, earlier today delivered a letter from president trump to the iranian leader, where does that stand? reporter: well, president trump has said now over the last week or two, he s interested in talking to iran. it s clear from u.s. officials we ve spoken to that president trump is not looking for a war here. what s concerning, though, is that as these actions continue
