Former CIA Director and Ambassador R. James Woolsey Jr. tells Newsmax there is a strong likelihood of an outbreak of hostilities with Iran, and he credits the Trump administration “with taking the right direction” by bulking up U.S. military resources in the region.

“The administration is at least taking some action,” Woolsey tells Newsmax. “It may turn out there are more things to do that are more effective than what’s been done before.”
