Were in good hands. Glad to have you here. Iran said overnight it broke up a c. I. A. Spy ring and arrested 17 iranians recruited to collect information on the countrys nuclear and military sites. This morning secretary of state mike pompeo dismissed the claim and said iran has a history of lying. President trump tweeted the report of iran capturing c. I. A. Spies is totally false. This all comes as britain convened an emergency meeting over irans seizure of a british flagged oil tanker in the strait of hormuz. Iran accused the tankers crew of various legal infractions and the incidents come amid an escalating showdown between iran and the west as the landmark 2015 nuclear deal continues to unravel. Well go to the united arab emirates. What is iran saying this morning . Reporter good morning, guys. Yeah. The dramatic news coming from irans Intelligence Ministry, saying that they have arrested 17 suspects who they say, and i quote here, that theyve confessed to acting as spies for the c. I. A. Now, iran has made claims like this before in the past and theyre impossible to verify at this stage. But these claims follow dramatic turn of events here in the gulf in which a british flagged tanker was seized by iranian commandos andd is currently in iranian custody. Really ratcheting up tensions here. This video released by irans revolutionary guard apparently shows in real time the british flagged oil tanker forced into iranian territorial waters, radio recordings also capturing the moment a british warship warned the iranians not to interfere with the vessel. If you obey, you will be safe. Alter your course to 360 degrees immediately, over. This is british warship foxtrot two three four six. Please confirm that you are not intending to violate intenalaw by unlawfully attempting to board. Reporter minutes later iranian commandos took control of the vessel apprehending the International Crew and replacing the union jack with the flag of iran. This morning the Prime Minister theresa may is considering retaliation including freezing iranian assets. The seizure of the ship comes just two weeks after the uks Royal Marines helped seize an iranian tanker off the coast of gibraltar. It is believed the vessel was carrying oil to syria in breach of eu sanctions. Irans foreign minister had this to say about the seizure and economic sanctions from the west. This is economic terrorism pure and simple. We need to repeat this again and again. Reporter now the u. S. Is trying to pull together a sort of Maritime Coalition to protect the ships that travel through this region. A lot of ships traveling through this region. But theyve been struggling to get help particularly from the europeans who we understand are angry that President Trump withdrew from that bm era nuclear deal, a deal they say was crucial to preventing things like this from happening and is really behind the spiraling tensions here in the gulf. Tensions incredly high in the gulf. Thank you very much. Up to a million protesters are expected in the streets of puerto rico today to protest the governor, who says he is not stepping down. Governor Ricardo Rossello announced last night he will not seek reelection but stopped short of resigning.

Around san juan people were banging pots and pans in protest. Back in front of the Governors Mansion i think he just plaed it worse. Reporter protesters were nearly unanimous in their reaction to the governors decision to stay in office. I felt, frankly, insulted that he thought he could get away with just not running for governor in 2020, lilike what . This is we are not asking to compromise with you, sir. We want you out. Reporter they are furious after leaked chats showed the governor and associates using profane, homophobic language attacking critics and making fun of people who died during hurricane maria.

After a week of calling four democratic congresswomen of color antiamerican these are people that in my opinion hate our country. The hatefilled extremists.

What are democrats and also republicans then looking for from the hearing . Reporter you remember after this report came out the president insisted there was no collusion, no obstruction, even though mueller wrote he could not exonerate the president on the matter of obstruction. So i think theyre really going to dig in for him to explain why.
