## Transcript

Probably the biggest area where there's been tactical differences has been with respect to Iran. And the issue is not the need for shared Cooperation to deter against Iranian provocations on that we all agree. I think that there has been concern even when we were working on the Iran nuclear deal. That if we were in discussions with them about these issues. That somehow, Iran would feel emboldened to act more provocatively in the region. And, what I've said to them is, we have to have a dual track. I'm concerned. I think Prime Minister Abadi has been a good partner for us. But, interestingly enough Right now in Baghdad, the challenges within the government don't follow along the usual lines of Kurdish, Sunni, Shia.

There's actually significant dissension and disputes even among the Shia power blocks. Obviously ultimately it's up to the Iraqis to make these decisions. It's not up to us, it's not up to the Iranians, it's not up to GCC countries, it's up to the Iraqi people to determine the government that they form. We do think, however, that It is vital for the health and stability of Iraq that the cabinet and the makeup of the government is finalized.
