U.S.'s Mattis says eyeing provocative Iran actions after Trump speech
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Friday he had not yet seen any provocative actions from Iran following President Donald Trump's speech outlining a more confrontational approach to Iran and added there had been no change in U.S. military posture so far.
"Right now, we keep an eye on the potential for more provocations from the Iranians but right now we have not seen that," Mattis told reporters on board a military plane.
"With the Iranians destabilizing record from Lebanon to Syria, from Yemen to Afghanistan, of course we watch for this," Mattis said. "Right now we are not changing our posture."
