Just this morning, President Trump convened his inaugural Board of Peace in Washington, D.C., to announce the reconstruction efforts in Gaza.

And all of this is happening as we look like we move closer to a major clash with Iran.

He was briefed last night on our military options.

Some people think there could even be a strike as soon as this weekend.

Huge military buildup in the region, reports that China and Russia are joining the Iranian naval exercises.

What are you thinking right now about what will happen and what do you see as an ideal outcome?

So connecting that to what may happen even in the next few days in Iran, and obviously you've been a great advocate for human rights the world over throughout your entire career, very concerned about the Iranian people who have been so brave.

And remember, just a couple of weeks ago, you said help is on the way and we didn't know what that meant.

And now we're kind of sitting here still wondering what that means.

But is it your expectation that we will move towards a major clash with Iran?

Europe is behaving as such.

A point of little confusion.

Before we move on, I wanted to ask you about your time in Munich at the security conference.

You were talking a lot about the importance of our partnerships with our allies, especially the NATO alliance.

How was your message received?
