standing up to the iran challenge. it's a real crisis now with the iranians acting with impunity. that was a capital strike against the heart of the saudi oil industry last saturday. the iranians have been threatening shipment in the gulf. they shot down u.s. drones and the administration has to be careful. we don't want a wider war, but sanctions sanctions and sending a few hundred troops to saudi arabia is not going to be seen by our adversaries in the region, by the iranians, as tough minded or effective. and there are all sorts of other options here. whether it's cyber attacks or covert operations or the united states striking at iranian revolutionary guard core outside the territory of iran because they're in the gulf. we have to stand up to the challenge. you said look at the rhetoric the administration. the president said we were locked and loaded. the response it doesn't measure up and we look -- it looks like iran now is the controlling power in that part of the world
