paula reed is at the white house. >> reporter: good morning, iran says it will remain in the deal. but u.s. will impose strict sanctions and even consider new penalties. >> united states no longer makes empty threats. >> reporter: president trump followed through on his long-held campaign promise to pull out of the accord, saying iran's pledge to cease development of a nuclear well was a lie. >> in just a short period of time, the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapon. >> reporter: the 2015 deal froze iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting punitive sanctions against iran. a memorandum signed by the president on tuesday would reinstate. >> any nation with nuclear weapons could also be strongly sanctioned. >> reporter: european companies will have between 90 and 180

days to wind down their operations in iran. the oil sanctions would require asian companies to reduce imports. ands will are for boeing and airbus with passenger jets to iran will be revoked. >> i think the decision that they make make war more likely, makes the uranium bomb more likely and united states unsafe. >> reporter: and he believes the trump administration is trying to destabilize the regime. >> what i'm worried about, the goal is some form of regime change. that's a reaction to an old playbook that we haven't seen work out so well. >> reporter: white house officials believe that aband abandoning the deal establishes a business of strength for the u.s. not just for iran, but for north korea, sending a message that the united states will not accept inadequate deals. john. the president's national

security adviser john bolton is with us from the white house. he's a former ambassador to the united nations. good morning, mr. ambassador. >> good morning, glad to be with you. >> u.s. allies say that the president withdrew from the iran deal and has no plan "b." what is plan "b" for achieving objective? >> well, i think plan "b" has been implemented when the president signed the medical dumb yesterday. he designed the progress to put very strict sanctions back in effect. that will have a significant ripple effect on iran's economy. and i think it demonstrates that we're determined we're not going to rely on paper promises. we're going to rely on real performance to stop iran from delivering nuclear weapons. and one threat that you didn't mention this morning was to increase spending on the ballistic missile program which was never covered by the iran nuclear deal. now, why do they want more ballistic missiles? i can assure you, it's not to

launch weather sat ielgellites, others this is what the deal is. >> and so they're crying uncle to give up their missile program in the middle east and their missile program, is that how this is supposed to work? >> that's a piece of it. the broader piece, as the president laid out in remarks yesterday and as we're discovering with european allies. we've begun, as soon as we're finishing here i'm going to get on a video call and finish the discussion with the british, the french and germans about going after iran's other other malign behaviors. one of the theories of president obama and secretary of state kerry, the nuclear deal by satisfying and releasing millions of dollars of resources would change iran over the

region. this has had the opposite effect. >> right now the u.s. does not have the support of the european allies on this, does that concern you? if not, why doesn't it concern you? >> well, we're going to start to work with the europeans. we have absolutely shared common objective. we have a disagreement over the efficacy of the iran deal. and that's the reason that president trump exited from it. just to give you an example, in short order, the president will be meeting with the leader of north korea to discuss denuclearizing the korean peninsula, as north korea committed to in 1992. which included not simply giving up nuclear weapons but giving up uranium enrichment and plutonium processing. this was the european position when iran started and it should have stayed that way. >> are you concerned ambassador, this could bring us closer to war with iran?

they're already chanting death to america over there? >> i don't think closer to war. but with belligerent activity with that's why we've seen recent israeli strikes. it's that aggressive militaristic behavior by iran on the ground in the region that's the real threat. >> all right, ambassador. thank you very much for joining us this morning. we appreciate your time. >> glad to be with you. >> thanks. president trump's nominee to lead the cia is facing senators right now in a confirmation hearing. gina haspel is testifying before the senate intelligence committee about her 33-year career at the spy agency. she has broad support from the intelligence community, but democrats have concerns about her connection to waterboarding after 9/11. in her prepared remarks, haspel says she will never restart that cia interrogation program. if confirmed, she would become the agency's first female director. police on hawaii's big island stepped up evacuations

♪ good morning to our viewers in the west. talking to you. it's wednesday, may 92018. welcome back to "cbs this morning." iran responds with anger after president trump walks away from its nuclear deal. we're on the ground in tehran and will talk to cia insider michael morell about the national security implications of of that. the auction being called the sale of the century. anthony mason shows us the most expensive private art collection ever sold. first, today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> secretary pompeo met with kim jong-un. it was after that meeting he was informed these americans were going to be released. avenatti questions why the payments were made but cohen misled banks and federal

officials in receiving them. iran will remain in the deal along with our european allies who have expressed regret over this announcement. what is plan b for achieving in this objective? >> when the president signed the memorandum yesterday he put very strict u.s. sanctions in effect. that will have a significant ripple effect on iran's economy. when many thought the volcanic activity subsided, these new fissures were a reminder these are as unpredictable as they are dangerous. instagram just announced their own new update. a new anti-bullying filter to weed out insulting comments. it's a great idea. and they should be applauded for this. but you know what would be more u useful? a brunch filter. as soon as someone posts a photo of their avocado toast, they are immediately removed from the site.

>> i'm john dickerson with gayle king and norah o'donnell. three american prisoners held in north korea have just been released and they are on their way home. kim dong-chul, kim hak-song and tony kim were being held. the president will greet them at andrews air force base tomorrow. the three wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting. they seem to be in good health. pompeo had a good meeting with kim jong-un and set a time and place for their upcoming sumsum. iran's parliament is calling for reciprocal action from the u.s. withdrawal from the deal. president trump declared the u.s. is leaving the deal. he said, quote, we cannot prevent an iranian nuclear bomb under the decaying and rotten structure of the current agreement.

>> a memo reinstates many sanctions lifted in 2015. the organization overseeing inspections inside iran confirmed this morning iran is still obeying the terms of the deal. elizabeth palmer is in tehran with more reaction. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. certainly for the people of iran and the government of president hassan rouhani, the u.s. pull out from the nuclear deal say devastating blow. and already we can see the hard liners maneuvering to take advantage of it. conservative lawmakers this morning burned a paper u.s. flag in the parliament and chanted the familiar "death to america." president rouhani who staked his reputation on the benefits of the deal told the world last night it is not dead. and he will continue to work with the other five countries still committed to saving the deal. but there's no question it's under huge strain. and so are the people who are already squeezed by a weak economy here. and everyone is worried about

the return of tough u.n. sanctions. ali khamenei said this morning that the president's speech had been silly and superficial and had contained ten lies. he ended by saying you have made a mistake, trump. norah? >> elizabeth palmer, thank you. israel and saudi arabia are among the few countries supporting the president's decision to abandon the nuclear deal. when we visited saudi arabia in march for "60 minutes" we asked muhammad bin salman about his country's feud with iran. >> at its heart, what is this rift about? is it a battle for islam? >> translator: iran is not a rival to saudi arabia. its army is not among the top five armies in the muslim world. the saudi economy is larger than the iranian economy. iran is far from being equal to saudi arabia. >> but i've seen that you called the ayatollah khamenei the new hitler of the middle east.

>> translator: absolutely. >> why? >> translator: because he wants to expand. he wants to create his own project in the middle east very much like hitler who wanted to expand at the time. many countries around the world and in europe did not realize how dangerous hitler was until what happened, happened. i don't want to see the same events happening in the middle east. >> does saudi arabia need nuclear weapons to counter iran? >> translator: saudi arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt if iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible. >> cbs news senior national security contributor michael morell was cia deputy director and acting director. he joins us from washington. good morning. >> morning. >> we placed that clip of my interview with the crown prince because of that last thing he said. if iran develops a nuclear weapon, would saudi arabia follow suit? and he suggested, yes. is that one of the deep concerns

about president trump withdrawing from this deal? >> yes. so if the iranians go back to developing a nuclear weapon and do so, there is no doubt in my mind that the saudis would follow suit. and it would be likely that the egyptions and the emerates would think about doing so well. >> let me ask you about this. we have everyone from the u.s. intelligence community to the iaea, all international and even some of the president's top advisers said iran was in compliance. they had abandoned much of their nuclear weapons program. how reckless is this decision, and do you expect that iran will move forward to restart their program? >> norah, the iranians have a decision to make. the ball is in their court. if they stick with the deal, then they can continue to get economic benefits from the rest of the world. and if they don't stick with the deal, if they go back to their program, then the rest of the

world will likely reimpose sanctions as well. one of the things that's important to remember here is when the u.s. first put sanctions on iran years ago, it wasn't enough to bring the iranians to the negotiating table. it took the rest of the world to do so. the europeans, the chinese, the japanese, the south koreans, everyone. so if it's just the u.s., i'm concerned there won't be enough pressure there. and the iranians will decide whether or not that happens. >> so, mike, we keep hearing all about the negative ramifications of this deal. do you see any up side of the president's decision? >> so the people saying there's no plan b here, gayle, are wrong. there's clearly a plan b, which is put enough pressure on the iranians, and we're going to need the europeans to do that. so bolton is going to have a conversation with them. put enough pressure on them to bring them back to the negotiating table and get a better deal. that's the plan.

the issue is that it is very, very risky to see whether or not that's going to happen. >> mike, you've been in the room when these difficult things are worked through. give us a sense of how complicated it is for an administration to manage the tricky situation that now is going to arise in iran and also manage the upcoming talks with north korea at the same time. >> so i think it's certainly possible to do both. one of the issues, john, that you hear is that this will be a negative for north korea, right? the north koreans aren't going to make a deal with the united states if they are afraid the next administration is going to abandon it. national security adviser that this puts more pressure on north korea to come up with a better deal than they would have come up with otherwise. so i agree with him on that. >> michael morell, thanks. art lovers lined up for what's being call the sale of the century. >> $68 million.

california's west side cancer center. good morning. i was already confused by all of this, which is why i said website. can you break this down for us? >> i'm going to try. so 29,000 people a year die of prostate cancer. the second most common cancer cause of death in men. and there's a test, a blood test called a psa test where it's elevated. can indicate prostate cancer but can also be inflammation or a normal large prostate. they did a trial where they said you get tested and do whatever you want. and it doesn't show a survival advantage because the do what you want arm, they got tested anyway. in europe they did the study and what they showed is that people lived longer. in 2012, the -- our government recommendation, u.s. preventative task force said people shouldn't get tested because there's not a major survival advantage. what's shown in that trial as it's gone longer is more and more people were saved. that being said, it's not a

perfect test but age 55 to 69 you should have a discussion with your doctor. they're not saying go get it but they're saying it's a value systems based decision and it really requires a talk with your doctor. >> what am i going to get in that talk that's going to make this less confusing to me? >> it's going to say that when you have this, your chances of false positives which means it can be elevated for a reason not because of cancer. and if there's a biopsy, not all prostate cancers need to be treated. if we treat the cancer there's side effects to treatment. it's understanding the ramifications of making the decision. i am tested. i believe in it. i see all the morbidity of cancer and people dying of cancer. and i'll do anything i can to prevent it. and i have to discuss it with my patients. most of my patients want the test. >> why does the panel recommend you don't get it over the age of 70? you touched on it briefly. >> they look at -- they say people with less than 10 to 15 years of survival which classically is age 70, they

shouldn't have the test because there's a delay between the diagnosis of cancer and when it will cause symptoms. if you're very healthy at 70 you probably should have it, although the panel doesn't say that. >> what puts an average man at higher risk for prostate cancer? >> african-americans, people with a family history and people with certain genetic disorders have a higher risk of prostate cancer. and the screening discussion in them is different. there are newer technologies. you can have an mri first. and that mri can look and visualize some of the cancers and guide the biopsies and reduce false positives. the tests are getting better also. >> dr. agus, thanks very much. the race to save ancient elephants has led to some monkey business at the smithsonian zoo in washington. they're trying to breed the elephants there under human care. chip reid is at the zoo with its big idea. >> there he is in all his glory.

spike, a 36-year-old, 7-ton casanova brought here to the national zoo for a very specific purpose. spike recently moved to washington from florida, and we were there as he was released from quarantine to meet three females he'd been admiring from the other side of the fence. there was some trumpeting. and some ear flapping. another sign of happiness. but with one maharani, rani for shirt there was some conoodling. >> they look like they're hitting it off. they do appear to be hitting it off. i'm no expert in elephant love, but that looks like something going on there. >> in fact, this is not their first meeting. and as they say, elephants never forget. spike and rani were an item at a zoo in canada in 2014.

rani became pregnant three times but none of the baby elephants lived past infancy. now the national zoo hopes they'll have better luck. >> how is this going so far? >> excellent. we really couldn't be happier. these guys have a great social history with one another. we're hoping they'd pick up where they left off and that seems to be what's happening. >> we returned yesterday and the good news got even better. rani was ready to mate earlier than expected. >> it was like a switch. he was immediately interested and laser focused on rani. she was also returning that interest more so than she had in the previous days. very glued to him and solicative of him. and that's continued throughout the day today. >> it's exactly what they had hoped for. >> we brought spike here hoping that he and maharani would breed and produce offspring. the first step we can check off. they've bred and we'll probably continue to throughout the next day or so and then we'll have to see what comes from that. we'll test in a few months to see if she's pregnant and then begin planning in earnest for a

baby if she is. >> now they will use blood tests and ultrasound to determine if rani is pregnant. but another good indicator is that spike will simply lose interest in her. if she does get pregnant, you may want to exercise patience because a pregnancy for an elephant lasts about 22 months. >> that would be no fun. good thing it only happens to elephants. >> you can tell they have chemistry. you see the trunk grab the tail? that's what boys do when they like you. they pull your hair. >> oh, dear. >> they knew each other in canada, too. it's like an elephant rom-com. >> i think it's going to work out. >> i've been to that elephant center at the national zoo. it's all redone. it is beautiful. it's an incredible facility to take your family to. michael c. hall is working with harlon coban in "safe."
