Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is meeting tomorrow with a pair of senior military commanders as tensions with Iran show no sign of abating.
Pompeo is heading to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla., State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told reporters Monday. "There, he will meet with Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, commander of Central Command, and Gen. Richard Clarke, commander of Special Operations Command, to discuss regional security concerns and ongoing operations," she said.
McKenzie is the Marine Corps general responsible for U.S. military operations in the Middle East, and Clarke is the Army general in charge of U.S. special forces.

Agree.
We have no choice but to watch what the guy we elected does.
Why weaken him with all the hand wringing, Iran is watching and Trump does not want war.
I do believe that if there was a strike on Iran that, Trumps doctrine would demand it be effective and a positive for America.
Trump Doctrine.
Positive for America or no dice.
>> DJT Be ready to bow out of 2020.
Wha???
Reality is a bitch. More complicated than he thought. He will however end Iranian threats that have kept us over thrre if pushed.
Trump is listening to Pompeo and believing the photos.
All information has come from the military and ‘intelligence community.’
Did IQs at FR drop suddenly due to onset of summer heat?
I call BS on the premise that Iran attacked a Japanese tanker while their PM was in Tehran. I call BS on Iran sending a boat (without a flag, btw) in BROAD DAYLIGHT to remove a mine which could be attributed to ANYONE. I call BS that this was the Iranian government’s official actions. Rogue elements, perhaps. But in the era of deep-fake AI videos and what I view as a false flag vortex to suck Trump into a lose-lose situation which will later backfire, I’m astonished so many here are falling for it, hook/line/sinker.
I’m no fan of the Iranian regime, but I’m having severe deja vu of a couple of animations produced by our ‘intelligence community’ (’zoom climb’ and ‘mobile chemical labs’)...
Fire away, but I’m not responding.
12B, that is.
We have yet to make war without marketing of propaganda. It’s always BS.
or - they may get a better feel for what the President wants and make plans that deter rather than escalate...a worthy General doesn’t desire needless bloodshed any more than the rest of us.
