task. what senator corker is trying to do is to find a way to, you know, avoid a complete rip rupture with the allies by finding a new formula that might find bipartisan support and satisfy the president at the same time. that s a big challenge. he s now not running for re-election. he s got everything he s got an opportunity ahead of him to make a last mark on this without watching the alliances that have been so important in the united states dissipate. senator corker and senator cotton who have been working to try to craft this compromise, but it doesn t help the president in the last two weeks has blamed senator corker for the iran deal itself, which is inaccurate because he opposed it initially. what he tried to do was craft this 90-day period so the white house would at least have to recertify every 90 days. he was not a supporter of the deal. he s just a supporter of trying keep things going. reporter: that s right.

something big has just happened. he s clearly sensing there s a big concern about this, a lot of anger about this in iran. as you were just saying, there s a lot of places in the middle east where u.s. and iranian forces bump into each other. that happens in iraq. that happens in syria. you have russians in the mix. you have hezbollah in the mix. there is also the issue of the waterways, the persian gulf. there have been several high profile, very tense moments where iranian have come close to american ships and american ships have considered firing on them and escalations have gone to not to the brink but quite close to the brink. now that it s clear that the trump administration wants its policy toward iran to be more hostile, more aggressive, get rid of the deal, decertify the deal with president trump saying at any time he could scrap the
