at natanz nuclear site in iran, a mysterious explosion this year. satellite imagery reveals construction of new facilities near mountains. secretary pompeo. president trump withdrew from the nuclear agreement created during the obama administration. since then, the iranians stockpiling 12 times more uranium. >> for retaliation. >> reporter: he says so far they see no indication of secret uranium activity. how can we be confident that you're being told the truth? >> you can be confident that we are constantly pushing and getting all the access we need. >> reporter: based on the evidence you are seeing, now is not the time for a military attack on targets in iran? >> i would hope there would never be a time for a military attack. >> reporter: this week the u.s. imposing strict new sanctions on iran while today the uk, france and germany publishing a statement, urging iran to reverse its nuclear buildup. and the u.n. watchdog demanding answers about uranium found at a site there. that same watchdog speaking to us, urging the trump administration not to

previously, we also have strong suspicions that the israelis were behind the explosions at the natanz nuclear facility in iran. this past july, again we had intelligence officials, both in the united states and in israel. background in the press about this. so based on the those cut those, those background briefings to the press. there is, there is strong reason to, to suspect both israeli, and possibly even u.s. involvement. given the very public pronouncements of u.s. officials that they will use this time between the end of the trunk administration in the beginning and about in ministration to do whatever they can to to punish iran and to set. 'd iran's progress in the nuclear field and other fields as well. ok. what do we know the status of the iran's nuclear capabilities? since that will trump abound in the nuclear agreement in 2015? and what will factors are these deaths due to change those missions? well, i think 1st and foremost fact is that his death will not do anything to change those ambitions, unfortunately, and may spur the iranians to move further and faster and more in

were to conduct a strike on someplace like natanz, that iran would respond with ballistic miss missilesne official i spoke to earlier said, and they would keep going. >> and remember what defense secretary mark esper said on his way out to "military times," he was worried if he wasn't there, donald trump would just install a yes man. thank you for joining us on such short notice. we appreciate it. >>> it's only tuesday and it has already been a very tough week for trump campaign lawyers. >>> right now inside a pennsylvania courthouse, his lawyers are trying to convince a federal judge, rudy giuliani is actually, to block officials from certifying the vote. on sunday trump's team dropped their central argument in that case, the claim that nearly 700,000 ballots were processed without republican poll watchers. last night three trump campaign lawyers asked to withdraw from the case entirely. a shakeup on the eve of oral arguments. also yesterday the team dropped cases filed in michigan, pennsylvania, georgia and wisconsin. all of that and now claims from georgia's republican secretary of s

targets iran's scientist or infrastructure that would be nuclear facilities or place at natanz, for example. >> rick: what impact might this have taking out their top nuclear scientists, reportedly. what impact would this have on their nuclear program? >> this would have a significant impact. he was reportedly responsible for the nuclear program and when you eliminate him, that can have an impact on how well they are going to be able to continue to develop their nuclear program. we still have to worry about their ballistic missile program and obviously there is a lot of other nuclear scientists in iran to be concerned about. but, make no mistake, that this is going to increase the leverage for the united states in terms of our effort to induce iran to go back into compliance with the jcpoa. and the last thing i would think this administration would want to do and i don't think the biden administration will be able to do this either is to give iran what they are demanding. which is that all the sanctions be lifted and that they be paid for in compensation for the sanctions that we mounted ag

advisors about going after either with cyber strike or a missile strike iran's main nuclear site in natanz. reports he was talked out of that. iran's stockpile is 12 times stronger than it was under the iran deal. report u.s. troops coming out of iraq and afghanistan. senator mitch mcconnell, congressman adam kinzinger, they don't like that. reaction to these stories? >> donald trump has been working on this nearly four years as the president. i'm sure with his cabinet and senior advisors like robert o'brien they will continue to do the right thing. our waffled is much safer place under donald trump's leadership. i'm proud of what he has done for this nation. i do hope he makes the proper adjustments and sets the world in the right direction because joe biden through his decades of service has gotten just about every single foreign policy issue wrong. that came from the former secretary of defense for barack obama. so you know, i got to tell you, it doesn't give me a lot of confidence if joe biden is going to do something. i like what donald trump has actually done. i hope he continues to

but what is interesting about this at that very natanz plant at a outside facility, there was a fire we were told in early june, then we were told by officials that it was an explosion. and some admitted that had been sabotage. but iran had said that it could have caused term delays in terms of development and production of advanced machinery, but they would compensate for that by increasing capacity. now it seems like they've done that in terms of the stockpile. well, 2 months ago it was 10 times the limit, and it only follows logic in november. now that it's going to be around 12 times. and so that's something that iran hasn't really done, but they enrich uranium is low enriched uranium, is that 4.5 percent and the nuclear allows for 3.6 percent as it should we be reading anything into the timing of this report? what does it mean for the new well, the timing is also interesting. it comes right after a us presidential elections where we have 2 individuals who have different approaches to iran. we have donald trump, who pulled the united states of the out of that nuclear deal. and sa

two of them, one is a missile production facility and another is a uranium enrichment facility at natanzd on the facts that are there, i don't want see anything -- i don't see anything taking place. but here's what i think is really happening. i'm just speculating. when president trump took over if president obama, he was handed a mess with north korea, and obama told him this is my biggest problem. but as the team looked at it, they said, well, we're not doing anything about it. i mean, i don't think president trump wants to pass to his successor, president biden if that's who is going to succeed him, a problem that he has not worked on and has some answers and solutions and a pathway to. i think that's also the understated thing that's taken place here. pete: you free to speculate anytime, informed speculation, and we really appreciate your insights. general jack keane, happy thanksgiving. thank you, sir. >> happy thanksgiving to you and the fox friends there. pete: coming up, while you sat down for thanksgiving dinner, "the washington post" claims the rest of the world watched in drea
