U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he did not see specific evidence from intelligence officials that Iran was planning to attack four U.S. embassies, an assertion made by Donald Trump in justifying the killing of Iran’s top general.

While Esper said he agreed with Trump that additional attacks against U.S. embassies were likely, he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Trump’s remarks to Fox News were not based on specific evidence on an attack on four embassies.

“What the president said was that there probably could be additional attacks against embassies. I shared that view. The president didn’t cite a specific piece of evidence”, - Esper said.
