It became so close. i mean, some would call netanyahu a mini trump in terms of the bombast that we started seeing more and more of. here is just a little bit of what trump has touted about netanyahu. >> yeah, i was with bibi netanyahu, a man i have a lot of respect for. a man who has been extremely nice to me. >> bibi and i have known each other for a long time. hes been a great ally and hes a friend. it looked like a total win for netanyahu. hes a great guy. hes a great guy. >> so every chance ...

Hardline hawk on iran. now, hes not the same type of military interventionist that john bolton was, but make no mistake, over the last 16 months under john bolton, there wasnt an interagency process and at times like this which is basically a brewing crisis, previous national security advisers would have went out and convened the principals and the deputies and come up with a series of options and recommendations to the president about how he could respond to the iranian attack you dont have tha...

There to the presidents "locked and loaded" tweet? >> reporter: it only means one thing, frankly n th, in this pa the world and that is that someone is going to get hurt. around the time that tweet was made, they said something the reporters in d.c. can probably relate to, that he wrote that about 24 hours ago or so. its a difficult task to work out what the trump administration iran policy is. they had thought the hawk, chief adviser john bolton, were perhaps spelling a moment of people looking...

Note that, you know, the tweet that we saw from secretary pompeo over the weekend expli t explicitly and quite immediately called out iran for these attacks. that was before anyone else from the intelligence community was able to do so. we still havent seen any intelligence that explicitly says iran was to blame, so even though john bolton is gone and he was an iran hawk, there is still an iran hawk on the presidents national security team, and he is arguably one of the most vocal members of tha...

Is supposed to do and follow up on his campaign promise and protect the american people. tom, its been a great honor to meet you. politicians next on "fox news sunday." bill: im bill hemmer in for chris wallace. escalating tensions in the persian gulf as the u.s. blames iran for an unprecedented attack on the worlds energy supply. ♪ ♪ >> we hope that we can make a deal, and if we cant make a deal, thats fine too. bill: the president weighs his options on tehran, ends peace talks with the tal...

When hes appointed, its bemoaning the fact that he would make this appointment, somebody that is such a hawk, is and all of a sudden its become being fired by the president is somehow a hallmark that you have moved up your status or retiring or resigning, however this came out. but, you know, to me, its really non-story. the story here should be a story about the impact on our foreign policy and donald trumps approach to foreign policy and leading the nation. that should be the story, not the co...

Attack on the oilfield in saudi arabia over the weekend. the president resorting to his locked and loaded response. what do you make of that now also keeping in mind that youve got john bolton who is more of the hawk in the administration, hes no longer in the picture, but the president still using very much hawkish language? >> when i read that tweet it was very reminiscent of the tweet he sent earlier this year right before he called off a strike against iran oil or energy facilities this year...

Want to talk, good, otherwise you will have a bad economy for years. >> no prekrns? >> not as far as im concerned. those are the presidents words repeatedly, given the lack of consistency or honesty out of this white house, how will it impact his foreign policy towards iran and saudi arabia? >> that is a great question if is inexplicable to have the tweet that he said today saying the fake news is wrong about whether or not he would meet with ryan with no preconditions. you have all of that evid...

Effectively agreeing with bolton. anyway, with bolton gone, trump does have the opportunity to act on his instincts and get something, a new iran deal. lets face it, his reimposition of sanctions on iran has been surprisingly, brutally effective. but iran is a proud ancient civilization and a canny regional power. it will not simply surrender. it might agree to a new deal, one that achieves more than the obama accord, but for this to work, trump will have to overrule some of his most hawk issue ...

Maximum pressure, thats the phrase theyve used for the rash etting up of sanctions and withdrawal from nuclear deal. im paraphrasing tweet here. they were using maximum deceit suggesting miami pompeos tweet was a falsity. we are still waiting for the convincing detailed evidence to that effect, but showily it appears that the demand for that is making the u.s. administration release more information bit by bit, but i will tell you, were in very unchartered territory here because for months, tens...
