This has been a 'bad week' for Iran: National security adviser Robert O'Brien

The White House national security adviser said Sunday that the U.S. wasn't going to"cut and run" when ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos pressed him on why the U.S. did not evacuate its embassies after President Donald Trump revealed that Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani had been planning to attack"four embassies."

— This Week January 12, 2020 "We're not going to have another Benghazi," he added."We're not going to have another Tehran embassy takeover where our diplomats are taken hostage." Since the strike on Soleimani, the president has said the"imminent" threat that Soleimani posed included attacks on U.S. embassies. He specified to Fox News on Friday that the plans targeted"four embassies."

O'Brien said on"This Week" that he would love to release the intelligence behind the Soleimani attack, but that not doing so was to protect U.S. interests. "This is a regime that's reeling from maximum pressure, they're reeling from their incompetence in this situation and the people of Iran are just fed up with it," White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien says about the Iranian regime. https://t.co/SBtfYJ3x95 pic.twitter.com/8t7IGnqlUM
