air strike that took out soleimani, the commander of the irgc, back in 2020. so obviously, we continue to watch this, but the former national security adviser, john bolton, did get secret service in the end of 2021. that is around the time that this plot to assassinate him was coming to the fore. >> kylie, how much do we know right now about this plot against former secretary of state pompeo? >> we are learning that just last week, the former secretary of state was informed directly by the department of justice that he was also a target of an iranian assassination plot. in these documents today from the department of justice, we learned that this iranian also had a second job for which he was willing to pay $1 million. and according to a source close to pompeo, it was the former secretary of state who was the target of that other job that this iranian was looking to carry out. we don't know the details of what he was planning on that one. >> i'm sure we'll be getting more details soon. this isn't the first time iran has attempted an assassination plot here on

but as we heard recently, on issues like the irgc or other points, i think iran has made a lot of, as of reasonable concessions, and that is reason the eu foreign policy chief has called iran's response reasonable. so at this moment, i think the statement was in important that he mentioned that it's up to the united states now to decide. because whatever the european side could do, i think they have already done. as was mentioned before, it's kind of a final offer, taking into account the basic positions on both sides. so that is now the situation. it's very much up to the united states to come up with a response. laura: it is generally excepted the ball is in the u.s.'s court, but is by installing? -- but is biden stalling? alex: there is a lot of politics around this issue in washington and tehran. in tehran, the president and his team want to give the public the idea that a deal is so much better than what would have been negotiated. this is part of iranian politics, the so-called reformers and hardliners, each wanting to be the national champions. they have been playing this game

from the state department terrorist list which is even more difficult after it was revealed the irgcormer secretary of state mike pompeo among others for their role in ordering the assassination of iranian general cass assume kasm soleimani. >> he will not lift the terrorist designation on the irgc. iran's demand we do so has been removed from the latest version of the text that we have seen and that's part of the reason why a deal is closer now than it was two weeks ago. >> national security adviser jake sullivan will meet with his israeli counterpart in washington tuesday the white house has pushed back on the idea it is making concessions to tee tehran. officials say a deal is closer than it was two weeks ago but gaps remain. bret? >> bret: jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. a body found in a northern california reservoir is believed to that be of 16-year-old kiely rodni who went missing weeks ago after attending a large party at the sierra nevada campground. volunteer divers with the sonar equipped group called adventures with purpose believe they found rodni on sunday

the last thing we should be doing is releasing billions in sanction relief right into the irgc. also, likely listing secondary sanctions on the irgc as a work around from not dropping them from the terrorism list. so that they can further finance their malign activity. it's the last thing we should be doing. but iran is pushing right now because they know they can get away with it. they know this administration is desperate for any kind of deal. and, by the way, it's the russians that using as intermediary, and if the reporting is correct, it will be the russians who determine if we are all in compliance to then release the uranium that they decide, a future administration isn't in compliance. so i think for all of those reasons, we have to go back to the maximum pressure campaign and bargain from a position of strength rather than the current position of weakness. >> bret: all right. let me -- >> -- the maximum pressure campaign has pushed iran to being as close to having a nuclear bomb as they have ever been. i just don't see why letting iran get a nuclear bomb puts us in a be

maybe even earlier, around the first year anniversary of the takedown of suleimani, the head of the irgcecurity protection has been offered to members of the prior administration, which is appropriate and necessary, and i commend the biden administration for focusing on this, and for showing, which i think is the case, that the justice department has excellent trade craft and knows how to do their job. >> jane, as you mentioned, this alleged plot comes as all the parties involved in the iran nuclear deal are looking at a draft proposal from the eu to resurrect that 2015 agreement. we've heard in recent months that iran has enough uranium to make one or more nuclear bombs already. so would restoring this agreement make much of a difference at this point? >> well, it's not clear what the terms of the new agreement would be, but things have changed, you're right. in 2015, the deal was very controversial. i suspected it because it contained iran's nuclear capacity. but that was then. now iran is much more advanced, as you say, jose. iran is at breakthrough. it has the know-how. it hasn't sho

according to the justice department, member of the irgc, who by the way is not in u.s.lready having been charged, he apparently contacted someone in the united states and at first said that he wanted a couple of photos of john bolton offering up the address of john bolton and then later said that he was offering up $300,000 for an assassination which turned out to be against john bolton. and he also said that he kind of wanted that to happen in the parking garage apparently above the residence where johnfrequen lot of traffic. but the person that this person was talking to was an informant with the fbi and the irgc member said later that he had $1 million for another assassination plot and the u.s. strongly believes that the person that was supposed to be assassinated was former secretary of state mike pompeo. so this obviously very troubling and we have heard from u.s. officials saying that of course both former and current u.s. officials that are in any way involved with iran have gotten additional security. do want to he thinks in the iranians have also called all of

he's at large and a former or current irgc member.t we learn side in these encrypted communications that he was talking to people here in the united states trying to hire them, they also said he -- he also said that there was a second job that he had in mind which was to pay up to a million dollars to carry out perhaps perhaps another assassination. so that's what the concern for the fbi. we heard it was not just the chinese and the russians that they were looking at, the iranians had a lot of concerns you were looking at. >> there are a lot of details. photographs of two plastic bags each appearing to contain bound stacks of u.s. currency and handwritten notes underneath. it's remarkable this detail coming out. much more to come, guy s. we'll continue to follow this breaking news. >>> still ahead, inflation slowing in july. reprieve for american consumers and what does it mean for the prices f from food to gas. we'll get the details in the live report. s childhood address for 70 years... and i found it in five minutes. ...that little

accomplished their mission of destroying several infrastructure facilities used by groups used by iran's irgc to protect u.s. personnel in syria, the targets of several recent attacks by several iranian backed militia groups including the most recent ones on august 15. our response was proportionate and precise, designed to minimize the risk of casualties. it responded to the nature of the attacks by iran backed militia groups. that being said, we cannot accept further attacks on our personnel. this operation is a demonstration that the u.s. will not hesitate to defend itself against iranian and iran backed aggression where it occurs. now, nazmi turned to the focus of today's briefing. let me join president biden and secretary austen in underscoring our continued support for the people of ukraine as we mark their 31st year of independence. we are now six months into russia's brutal, premeditated invasion of ukraine. it is an act of aggression into undermine independence. russia's efforts have not succeeded and will not succeed. as we have made clear at every level of the administration we are

. >> the head of irgc was an industrial terrorist and had the power of the state and the money of the state, the whole thing. bin laden was self-funded and zawahiri doesn't even know where all the accounts are and that's why al-qaida shrunk on the vine. kennedy: he won't get an iphone and he doesn't have apps so he can't use chase banking. thank you so much. i knew you'd be the man to talk to about this. thank you. all right, meanwhile threats from china have been coming for weeks all because nancy pelosi is heading to taiwan as soon as tomorrow reportedly. that's not sitting well with shinning because they screw -- bejing because they view the independent nation as chinese territory. >> it'll lead to very serious situation and consequences and we'd like to warn the u.s. we're fully prepared and solemnly waiting for the equal liberation army will never sit idly by and china will take measures to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity and as to what the measures will be, wait to see if the trip is taken. >> pelosi is on the continent of singapore today and first of many stops

worked through the irgc, by lifting secondary actions, american businesses cannot do business with irgcest of the world can and reportedly unconstitutional is that the iranians are worried a future administration likely either a trump administration or a republican administration will tear up the deal like president trump did, so they want to be compensated. they want to be compensated if it happens. you know what, if you want a deal to be permanent, it's called a treaty, you take it to congress and the constitution, and you craft a deal that two-thirds of the congress will agree with. so, you know, i don't think we should be negotiating at all. this is worse than the first iran deal and if you want it to be permanent you come to congress. and finally, john, a law on the books called inara, iran nuclear agreement review act, that says it has to come to congress for a 30-day review, and if congress does not agree you can't lift sanctions. so, as far as i'm concerned, they are in violation, the biden administration is in violation of that law right now if they go through with the deal. >>

prosecutors in the bolton plot say a man, a 45-year-old iranian national and irgc member, had attemptedan individual in the united states who ended up being an fbi confidential source. now that suspect has not been arrested. he remains at large. in the charging documents, prosecutors had made mention to a second, quote, additional job. a federal law enforcement source telling me that other target was mike pompeo. victor. >> josh campbell, thank you very much. >> a scary moment at a summer little league game turns into the sportsmanship moment of the year. up next, the story behind this hug. and her museum of perersonal computers. and you can find her, and millions of other talented pros, right now on upwork.com alright, limu, give me a socket wrench, pliers, and a phone open to libertymutual.com they customize yourar insurance, so you onlpay for what you need... and a blowtorch. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ hybrid work is here. it's there. it's everywhere. but for someone to be able to work from here, there has to be someone here making sure everyt

so the doj rolling out these criminal charges against this iranian who they say is a member of the irgcarry out this plot to kill the former national security adviser john bolton, and according to the information that came out from doj today, as you said, this person, this iranian was offering an individual in the united states, an fbi informant, $300,000 to carry out this murder, and some remarkable details with this iranian sending a map that showed john bolton's office on it, and in the image of that map, the screen shot of that map that doj was able to get its hands on, you could see that the location of bolton's office was about 10,000 kilometers from the location of where that screen shot was taken. that is about the same distance from tehran to washington, d.c. this individual also sent this fbi informant images of bags of money, apparently, of course, that would have been the money that he was willing to pay him if he carried out this assassination plot. now, we should note that john bolton today is thanking the fbi, doj, secret service, and he also said this in his statement sa

the plot was likely in retaliation the doj says for the january 2020 killing of iranian irgc commander qassem soleimani. this morning john bolton said the plot spotlights how iran is approaching its foreign policy. take a listen. >> this is a real window into what that government in tehran is like. and it is not just a window into how they behave with their terrorist activities, and sponsorship of terrorist groups, but how they conduct their foreign policy altogether. >> prosecutors are saying that the iranian shahram poursafi had a second job for $1 million. sources are telling cnn that was a reference to a plan to kill former secretary of state mike pompeo, who, of course, also worked in the trump administration. so for more, let's bring in former cia counterterrorism official phil mudd. thank you for being with us this morning. we have now also learned from sources that numerous current and former officials have protective details because of the iranian threats. the doj has now named somebody, but how significant do you think this threat is still in this country? >> i would say pret

came out yesterday, announcing these criminal charges against this iranian who was a member of the irgcd job that this iranian was looking to carry out for $1 million. as you said there were about $300,000 that this willing to pay for the john bolton assassination. $1 million he was willing to pay and the target of the second plot we're told was the former secretary of state. it is really interesting that we are learning a lot of details in these doj documents. this iranian had a place, where he wanted to carry out this murder, that is the office garage of john bolton here in washington, d.c. he allegedly had money that he was willing to actually give to this fbi informant, $300,000. he sent images of bags of that money to the informant. now, we should note this eiranin is still at large, still in iran and we're hearing fons rrespons the eiranians. the islamic public of iran strongly warns against any action against iranian citizens, under the pretext of these ridiculous accusations. and emphasizes that it reserves the right to take any action within the framework of international law t
