We certainly, as I said, spoke about the challenges that are in Iran. We talked about the CENTCOM decision that Secretary Shanahan and the president approved to move a thousand more Americans into theatre to make sure that we're in a position to do the right thing, which is to continue to work to convince the Islamic Republic of Iran that we are serious and to deter them from further aggression in the region. It's been our mission since the beginning of this administration to convince the Iranian regime not to move forward with their nuclear programme and not to continue to engage in development of the missiles and all the other activities - the malign activities - that they've been engaged in around the world.
I think the Iranian people are being woefully misserved by that leadership. But yes, we're engaged in... we have been engaged in many messages... even this moment right here... communicating to Iran that we are there to deter aggression. And President Trump does not want war. And we will continue to communicate that message while doing the things that are necessary to protect American interests in the region.
...if it makes a decision to go after an American or an American interest or to continue to proliferate its nuclear weapons programme. And so we talked about a broad range of issues here today across all of that spectrum. I know that the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines inside of CENTCOM, are ready to respond to any threat that the Islamic Republic of Iran should present to the United States. And we talked about each of those and how to make sure that we were in sync and how we would prepare those options for the president of the United States.
