margaret? >> brennan: don dahler, thank you. new theory has emerged as to why kim jong-un's half-brother was murdered in a malaysian airport. here's david martin. >> reporter: the 2017 assassination of kim jong nam, the older half brother of north korea's leader kim jong-un, was recorded by security cameras. two women came up behind him, one at a time, and rubbed chemicals over his face which combined to make the deadly nerve agent v.x. at the time it was assumed north korea's ruthless leader had simply eliminated a potential rival, but now the plot surrounding kim jong nam has thickened. >> he seemed to be short on money in his final years, so he had been supplying information about north korea to the c.i.a. >> reporter: "washington post" beijing bureau chief anna fifield has written a new book about kim jong-un. in it, she suggests that kim jong nam, who spent most of his life living in exile outside north korea, might actually have been returning from a meeting with his c.i.a. handler when he was killed. >> on the day he was

margaret brennan, our chief foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "face the nation," joins us from our washington bureau. and, margaret, most immediately here, is the president still considering military action? >> well, a senior administration official that i spoke with today said the president maintains at all times the option of using military force. but the primary thing the administration is considering at this point is another round of sanctions to hit iran next week if it follows through on its threat to break through restrictions on its nuclear program. those had been set in place in 2015 in that agreement with the world powers. so i didn't get the sense that a military strike like the one considered last night is imminent. >> dubois: now, as far as last night, margaret, do we know in the end what made him pull back and shut the whole thing down? >> well, the president says it was that potential loss of life, but we do know he heard concerns from congressional leaders, european allies, and some u.s. military advisers that a military strike could be an escalation that h

margaret? >> brennan: in seoul. we go now to some analysis on this morning's events.e is director of the korea center at the wilson center and mike morales a former acting director of the cia and national security contributor. mike, we know the president's national security team was opposed to this. did the meeting strengthen or weaken the u.s. position? >> margaret, two different perspectives here i think. one is that a negotiated solution is the only solution to this problem. there isn't a military option. there's not a covert action option. so getting back to talks with the north koreans is important, and i think that g thing. the second perspective, though, is this comes at a very high cost. this gives kim jong-un a lot of legitimacy. this is gold for him politically at home and in the world. and secondly this is going to weaken sanctions enforcement against north korea because if you're another country, you're going to say to yourself, myed y a price. they're now getting along. you're going to step back a little bit. we're paying a price for this and it can't go

let's bring in margaret brennan, cbs news senior foreign affairs correspondent and moderator of "face nation." margaret, it sure sounded like the president was trying to downplay the significance of what happened. what did you make of that? >> well, by signaling this could be a mistake, the president seemed to be giving himself a little bit of wiggle room to decide on the type of response he wants to take. before this latest incident, the administration had warned iran that if there was any loss of u.s. life, it would provoke a military response. but anything short of that, it's really up to the president to decide what a proportional action would be. so he is surrounded by hawkish advisers. that's clear. but it is important to remember the president campaigned on ending costly wars. >> dubois: so is military action on the table here or off the table? >> well, the president has been given a range of options. the secretary of state has said as much. that does include potential use of force. but the white house believes it has the legal authority to carry out a strike or any kind of lim

senator lindsey graham met with "face the nation's" margaret brennan and says, shaking hands with the north korean leader is worth the effort. >> north korea continues to develop nuclear weapons. they didn't make a serious diplomatic offer when president trump last met with kim jong-un. should he be meeting with him again? >> there's no downside to keep trying. they haven't exploded a bomb. they haven't tested any i.c.b.m.s in quite a while. so, i would encourage the president to keep talking. but the point is to get irreversible, verifiable denuclearization of the onninsula. that's the goal. and if trump thinks he can do this by continue to engage kim jong-un, let's give it a try. >> strassman: and you can see more of margaret brennan's ewterview with senator graham .omorrow morning on "face the nation" right here on cbs. an oppressive heat wave has gripped millions of americans. it's wilting the country's mid- ngction, and stretches across more than six states. asd the northeast is staring at a line of severe thunderstorms. jeteorologist jeff berardelli's here with a look at the wee

brennan: cbs confirmed that the u.s. has conducted cyber operations to hit facilities in iran linked to missile and rocket launches. is this retaliation for shooting down the u.s. drone? >> margaret, as you know, we never comment on covert operations. >> brennan: has there been any retaliation for shooting down the u.s. drone? >> as i said, i can't speak to that. what i can tell you is that as of tomorrow, we expect the president to announce an additional round of sanctions in response to iran's downing of an american unmanned vehicle as well as in a very real sense in the wake of what was clearly iran's actioinki two tankers in the strait. but look, what the president did on thursday was listen to all of his advisers and at the end of the day, the president concluded that seeing the potential of 150 people killed in an american airstrike when an unmanned american vehicle had been downed in air space was not a proportional response. but iran should not -- iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. this president has made it clear, we're going to protect american forces in the region. we're going to protect american interests in the region. and the
