here's cecilia now. >> reporter: today, we asked president trump about that "new york times" report, claiming his administration is weighing a plan to send 120,000 troops to the middle east if iran strikes u.s. forces or resumes its nuclear program. mr. president, are you planning to send 120,000 troops to the middle east in response to iran? >> i think it's fake news, okay? now, would i do that? absolutely. but we have not planned for that. hopefully we're not going to have to plan for that. and if we did that, we'd send a hell of a lot more troops than that. >> reporter: 120,000 troops would rival the number of americans sent to invade iraq. today, a senior iranian official reportedly accused the u.s. of playing a "very dangerous game" and attempting to "drag iran into an unnecessary war." the boiling point comes one year after the president pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and amid increasing flareups. on sunday in the persian gulf, four oil tankers, including two from saudi arabia, were attacked at the entrance to the world's most important oil trading route. and american offi

in one incident on cecilia avenue, a victim informed us her garage was broken into when her family of four was sleeping upstairs. two bikes and travel supplies were stolen, but what was scary to the mother, was that her entire family was upstairs, including her 11 and 12-year-old children. in addition, many in the chinese community believe they're being disproportionately targeted as victims of these residential property crimes. anecdotal incident data can compiled by my office supports this concern. porch piracy has become prevalent with the rapid growth of online shopping. since our office began outreach, we've communicated with over 30 victims in our district alone. one victim said she had over seven separate incidents of package theft alone and was losing count. in several incidents, neighbors have actually followed or confronted package thieves to support the apprehension of suspects. some are concerned this is leading to a vigilante in our neighborhood and city around a crime that still hasn't been adequately tracked and addressed. the purpose of this hear is to gain a better un
