Tune? >> it's so interesting jonathan, and kristen welker as well, in watching this president, completely different tone both on twitter and in the oval office q&a from what we've heard previously when he's talking about tehran and talking about other aggression around the world. it just seems that he is relying on mike pompeo and other advisers -- pompeo having said at centcom earlier this week unless a u.s. soldier -- he said if a u.s. soldier is engaged, then we will respond immediately. we now know that pompeo when he was in bagdad last month was sending signals to iran to back off. they d...

Changed from iran. that's, in part, because he's been tough on iran. this is certainly at the forefront of foreign policy crises here. at the white house, andrea, they're navigating all this without an actual defense secretary in place. >> i understand acting defense secretary now withdrawn. shanahan was seen leaving. maybe he's there because the handoff was not supposed to be there until monday. gina haspel from the cia leaving. one of the actions they used before, well, we would not know because it's covert, they've used cyber. they have damaged the iranian nuclear computers and the centrifu...
