what we have advocated for inside the islamic republic is a change in the behavior of the regime, a change that permits people to engage in commerce, hard -- to engage in commerce take care of their , families, and have normal press freedoms. that has been the policy for the entire time of the trump administration. those reports remind me that our work is not complete. >> two questions. one on turkey. now that turkey is testing the 400, it looked to be on f-16s is , that cause for concern? will the u.s. take any action in response, possibly levying sanctions? do you believe the u.s. and ukraine should investigate the theory that it was ukraine, not russia, that hack to the dnc emails? secy. pompeo: anytime there is an indication that indicates any country has messed with american elections, we not only have a right but a duty to make sure we chase that down. i served as the cia director for the first year and a half of this administration. i can assure you there were many countries actively engaged in trying to undermine american democracy, our rule of law, and the fundamental understandin
