security and it is in my view iran or iran-backed proxy group that fired a rocket into the baghdad green zoneoxie group that did so last september. the administration is taking the right approach and seems like president trump is marrying his tough sanctions with his tough rhetoric. he is caught between a rock and hard place. domestically there is no appetite for war. a war is in no one's best interests but iran needs to understand he means business. charles: by the same token if these are proxies of leaders of iran and if it happens again, president trump drew a line in the sand what would be our way to reeight? >> the u.s. would have multiple ways to retaliate. the u.s. drew a similar down in september of 2018 and close ad complex in basra and when they were both struck with mortars and rockets in december of 2018. iran and america have interests in not letting this cycle of violence escalate and spiral out of control but america needs to find some kind of a way, aggressive repositioning in the middle east through the carrier strike group is one, tough sanctions is another, escalating sanct
