pompeo, secretary of state pompeo on the other hand has had a more new answered approach. he's left the door open for negotiations and he seems to pivot quite easily to wherever president trump wants to go on iran. the appointment of mark esper is important in this regard. he was in the same west point graduating class as pompeo. they're really from the same ilk. they went to west point at the same time, they left west pint and pursued higher education at ivy league institutions. they're very much of the same ilk. esper like pompeo is conservative, he was at the heritage foundation here in washington, d.c.. he's much more open to a new answered approach, this gives secretary pompeo an ally potentially in a pivot with iran away from a purely militaristic overthrow the government approach that john bolton holds at the white house. and useful for pompeo. >> we're learning the president has been skeptical about that approach add well. going to war with iran. he was in a meeting with his national security team. and in an interview, the president called the tanker attacks very m

pompeo says the discussions will focus on deterring and defending against iranian aggression. >> the last 40 days we've seen a number of activities, not just these past two, but four other commercial ships which challenged the international norms of freedom of navigation. the united states is considering a full range of options. we've briefed the president a couple of times. we'll continue to keep him updated. we are confident that we can take a set of actions that can restore deterrence, which is our mission set. >> now over the weekend pompeo and the british as well as the saudis all blame attacks on iran. tehran denies it and actually suggests the u.s. may have ab bow t sabotaged the tankers. they are announcing they are scaling back their commitment to the nuclear deal. we are joined by cnn's fred pleitgen live with the latest in tehran. fred, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. yeah, as we speak right now, the iranians are making that announcement. they've already said some pretty significant things about their reduction in

chris, how much support will mike pompeo get from us allies in the middle east?t the moment, the real concern for the likes of the uk is to keep around sticking to the details, those agreements and rules, so important as far as they are concerned. it's difficult at the moment to kind of pin down what the us strategy is because of course, while president trump pulled back from those strikes, there were many in his administration including seniorfigures like mike pompeo and john bolton who are pushing for them to go ahead and we have the strange situation where mike pompeo is going to the middle east, offering the hand of friendship, saying he wants to have talks with iran. butjohn bolton and israel are threatening the people shouldn't take america's restraint as weakness. and there is still the chance of military action if, as president trump has said, iran behaves badly. attend has fallen down in the ngs straight of rajasthan. the religious ceremony that turned into tragedy. hundreds gathered around as rescue workers with heavy machinery tried to reach people tra

ray: the worst thing is if pompeo gives up on the pompeo parameters, the jcpoa is an agreement that disappears as you look at it. in 2022, 2023, you see installations of high velocity centrifuges, which is a stipulation of six or seven-year period of development that is now expiring. the series of nuclear crisis come about when iranians start installing centrifuges. this agreement is not just maintaining the jcpoa is maintaining the agreement that in a few years allows iran to allow to install high velocity centrifuges. whoever gets to the table, it's a very consent thus table, the trump or the successor. $7 billion on the jcpoa, here is your bill. let's talk about the billion. first you have to pay the check. there is an entry payment to coming back. lee: what makes you think that is their first move? ray: that is what they do. particularly, they're particularly good at picking on the weak and vulnerable. american negotiators -- lee: that's who you perceive as weak and vulnerable, american lawyers? ray: precisely. it's going to be a challenge, people say we have to maintain the ramparts of th

earlier this year, pompeo said that he had, quote, ruled out a run in 2020. of a future presidential run. associates they pompeo will continue to focus on his current responsibilities and will take his time in assessing whether a run in 2024 is a right move for him. let's get a check on weather with nbc's bill karins. hi, bill. it started last night. so warm and muggy. >> yeah, the humidity is all over the east coast. the humidity is the thing that makes it feel very uncomfortable. that has been the case in much of june throughout the southern half of the country now it's finally spreading to the north because the north actually hasn't had that warm of a month. here's how the month is setting up, typically, a quiet weather pattern. a warm weather pattern. you don't get the big storms like do you in the wintertime. and that's the case. a strong high pressure is in place, that's going to bring the warmth from the gulf northward. some of the worst in florida. tampa is 105, orlando, daytona beach, miami, very uncomfortable as of late. they were 98 two days ago. t

i think what pompeo said about assange could be applied to pompeo.ut it is interesting the cia chief is so interested in this. it is because the cia has been trying for half a century to cut back the first amendment to stop leaks. that is what this case is all about. first, following the pentagon papers, the justice department was able to convict sources of leaking to reporters, but they could not get reporters so they got half the equation, so to speak. for 50 years, they've been trying to get the other half of the equation to get reporters and put them in jail and limit the first amendment protection of reporters in that regard. so i think assange is right. i think all caps has the right to say it, -- to tell the truth, i think pompeo has the right to say it. amy: we're going to go to break and then we will come right back. jim goodale is an attorney, former general counsel for "the new york times." he encouraged "the times" to publish the pentagon papers, the information that whistleblower daniel ellsberg had. jim goodale is the author of "fightin

we have a live report from nata, state mike pompeo say it's clear ooi ran was behind the attack. but it doesn' appear the entire community reached that conclusion. the trump administration pointing to this video linking iran to brazen attacks on two fuel tankers in the gulf of oman. iranian revolutionary guard patrol removing an unexploded mine from the hull. secretary of state mike pompeo says the evidence is clear. >> it's unmistakable what happened here. >> reporter: u.s. central command adding the evidence also showed iran attempted to shoot down an american drone like this one monitoring one of the tankers on fire. pompeo spending the weekend calling his foreign counterparts to garner support. >> the world needs to unite against this attack from the islamic republic of iran. >> reporter: japan expressing skepticism while the german foreign minister saying it's not proof. >> this was taken from an american camera. this is the real data. >> reporter: uk officials say they completely back u.s. assessments. the pentagon is reportedly sending around 6,000 troops to the gulf regio

mike pompeo, the secretary of state. there were complaints that john bolton would go and talk to his subordinate, going around the chain of command. let's talk about where we've been and where we're going in a very important department especially given the high tensions in the middle east. michael o'hanlon is here for analysis from the brookings institute. michael, thank you. >> shepard, good to see you. how do you feel about where the defense department has been for the past six months without a confirmed defense secretary and where it seems to be going? >> first, i'd say it's regrettable we haven't had a confirmed defense secretary. this is not a good way to do business. second, we've been lucky. we've had general joseph dunford. he's in his fourth year. in his tenth year as a four-star general and one of the most admired people in any defense circle you'll be around. not that he can say for the lack of a permanent defense secretary. also, i think it's a tough day for mr. shanahan. let's give him his due. he's done wel

pompeo fits their the best. cycles of leadership, as we look at these different leaders, and i have color-coded them and given a little acronyms here, i emphasize once we put order into this scatterplot, there are interesting patterns. as i mentioned earlier, they always leave in controversy. they are always replaced by a inormer or a restorer, or one case, an administrator, custodian. definitely not an insider, after an operator, by definition an insider, you do not want another insider necessarily to clean it up. so often, right after the intelligence operators, you have the outsiders to sweep the place clean. you will also notice that we have never had two operators in a row. drift, you after have a more activist kind of leader being appointed. after the custodians, you have the energetic director coming in, even an outsider reformer or intelligence operator. you look at the agency in the context in which it exists, think about what they want to do, and pick a director to carry out that. now, interestingly, t

the meeting was between the foreign minister and vice president mike pence and secretary of state pompeo. the one issue is that the out of the country. he is currently in ireland and will not be returning until friday and all sides, including the mexicans, the administration officials, and members of congress understand that trump is unpredictable and that he will be the final say on many negotiations. what pointow at these talks might have broken some but there was consternation, at least in theress, that the terms administration was setting out were somewhat vague in terms of what mexico would have to do in order to stave off these tariffs from going into place. they are set to hit on monday, and there still is time for this to be rolled back, but it's not really a very good sign at this point. paul: safe to say that republicans, particularly in the senate, are not exactly united on this issue? >> they are mostly against it in the senate. a lot of republicans have been raising a lot of alarms. they met with members of the administration, and we are told .hat they gave them an earful th

. >> secretary of state mike pompeo now says the u.s. has unmistakable evidence that iran is to blame and he says all options on the table when it comes to how the u.s. will respond. >> that includes possible military strikes. abc's mona kosar abdi is here with the latest. mona, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, janai. good morning, kenneth. and you're right. secretary of state mike pompeo says it is unmistakable that the islamic republic of iran was behind the attacks on the tankers in the gulf of oman, but it doesn't appear that the entire international community has collectively reached that consensus just yet. the trump administration pointing to this video as clear and indisputable evidence that links iranians to brazen attacks on two fuel tajjers in the gulf of oman. pentagon officials say it shows iranian revolutionary guard patrol removing an unexploded mine from one of the tanker's hulls. the evidence is concrete. >> it's unmistakable what happened here. these are attacks by the islamic republic of iran. >> reporter: u.s.

also, a frontal attack on secretary of state mike pompeo. iranian head of parliament said they're trying to solve all of this diplomatically. he said the maximum pressure campaign of the trump administration is nothing short of diplomatic where fair. >> wow. thanks, fred. >>> back at the nation's capital, the trump campaign has fired several pollsters as it prepares to officially kick off the president's 2020 election bid tomorrow in orlando. the latest numbers show the president trailing joe biden in 11 key states. when those results were leaked to the public, the pollsters lost their jobs. the president confronted with unfriendly facts and figures explaining them away with a familiar refrain. >> i don't believe those polls. there's no way he beats me in texas. even your own polls show you're behind right now, don't they? >> no, my polls show i'm winning everywhere. >> we've seen these reports, 15 out of 17 states, you spend 2 million on a pole and you're behind. >> on "good morning america" they had phony polling information. i explained i
