Also, related over the weekend:

  • Pompeo and national security adviser H.R. McMaster, in separate Sunday talk show appearances, said there's no indication war will break out:
  • "I've heard folks talking about that we're on the cusp of a nuclear war," Pompeo said on "Fox News Sunday." "I've seen no intelligence that would indicate that we're in that place today."
