You should use powerful White House to call -- stood together for -- also have a permit for this guy.

But he hasn't done it.

That was the reverend Franklin Graham speaking out about what he -- as the administration's lack of action in regards to be -- in man condemned to death after converting to christianity also bubbling in Iran.

The international atomic energy agency's new report -- the country has stepped up enrichment of higher grade uranium.

Fox News contributor KT McFarland joins us now live to talk about.

Growing tensions in the mideast -- T great to see it today mom let's first about that pastor you know last we heard there's been an execution order.

Ordered in his case.

That with so many other problems we have going on with Iran right now can we afford to weigh in to something on the humanitarian level.

Well probably don't have a lot of leverage of Iraq right now on if you don't have any leverage you can't negotiate you can't expect favors because negotiating about leverage is negotiating it's begging.

Now we -- -- for him back but the fact of the matter is when the Iranians have people like this why would consider hostages they trade him for stuff whether it's American hikers what it was British.

Navy sailors whether it's this pastor don't -- but they want some -- now they may.

They're given a stay of execution but while they want backed -- many wants something like what -- the other way America while we go -- -- with our nuclear weapons and well and of course.

Everybody believes that it continues to advance this report from the IAEA seems to confirm that.

And of course Israel always comes up first an extension because they say basically they think time is running out their concerns from US officials and cautions to the Israelis.

Not act with a preemptive strike on the prime minister is coming here to meet with the president -- F.

What do you make now of our relationship with Israel as relates to this problem of Iran's nukes.

What you out of his way out of it Netanyahu out oppressor the president Israel has -- has three alarm clocks on his desk -- alarm clock is how much time do we have before Iran really does have nuclear weapons.

The such alarm clock is how much time.

Well and an Israeli attack if we have to do preemptive attack how much time.

Do we have before we -- be successful and after which we wouldn't be successful in the third clock.

Is how much time do we give President Obama to solve the problem how much time do we -- sanctions to work.

And he's got to find his window of opportunity between all those 3 o'clock because -- can't afford to make a mistake what's Iran gets nuclear weapons.

Everything changes and the Israelis now -- and the Israelis have claimed that if Iran has nuclear weapons it's an existential threat to them.

In other words they don't exist they would they will cease to exist Iran could -- wipe Israel off the face of the year.

When Iran gets nuclear weapons it's a different calculation frankly and President Obama has I think that's the big problem and we'll see that the first week of march when they mean.

What do you make of the fact that a lot of folks are offended by the advice our administration's -- giving to Israel in cautioning them about not taking that preemptive strike.

I think there any doubt in your mind if they did move ahead with something.

You know so important.

Would the US be there to close ranks with them immediately what do you think what happened disperse the US is concerned.

Well the president -- can make that decision -- does if this -- -- for example were to start.

An attack on Iran's nuclear sites it would be complicated it would be difficult it would be six small.

But not surely successful and and Israel might be able to start an issue that haven't checked but could they finish it because what happens the day after that kind of an attack Iran retaliates that's Iran close -- -- -- -- Iran.

Unleash assassin squads around the world to surround -- something with Syria their whole lot of the scenarios that might unfold.

Who knows what they would be but the fact is that the United States -- at that point you brought it.

I don't think about Iran and its nuclear weapons program some people have said don't worry about it we don't have any time once -- -- makes their decision.

To have nuclear weapons you -- -- -- at the time because there are Ron.

Is getting the capabilities now to -- able to make that decision and want to make that decision time -- -- out.

KT McFarland always great to see thank you so much for -- -- Shannon.
