PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nikki Haley ? But  U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley  expressed confidence the transfers could be blamed on Tehran.
“These are Iranian made  these are Iranian sent  and these were Iranian given ”  Haley  told a news conference at a military hangar at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling  just outside Washington.
The unprecedented presentation - which  Haley  said involved intelligence that had to be declassified - is part of President Donald Trump’s new Iran policy  which promises a harder line toward Tehran. That would appear to include a new diplomatic initiative.
“You will see us build a coalition to really push back against Iran and what they’re doing ”  Haley  said  standing in front of what  she  said were the remnants of the Nov. 4 missile.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rose McGowan ? Rose McGowan  called out fellow actress Meryl Streep on social media Friday after the latter described the dozens of sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as an âexample of disrespectâ during a womenâs conference in Boston this week.
In her comments   Streep  described the allegations as âthe most gargantuan example of disrespectâ across the many industries dealing with sex misconduct claims.
âItâs such an interesting moment  because this conversation about why this is so widespread  this is really worth having and itâs fantastic â  she  said. âI canât help thinking itâs just a door thatâs opening to a better world.â
But  McGowan  â who has herself accused Weinstein of rape and who has been a vocal advocate for the women who have come forward with their own stories â slammed Streepâs characterization of the claims against the producer  publicly chastising the 68-year-old three-time Oscar-winner on Twitter.
âNo  Meryl  ITâS A F***ING CRIME â  McGowan  wrote in a tweet. âYou are such a lie.â
 McGowan  has been one of the central figures in the allegations against Weinstein since the New York Times first reported that the producer struck a $100 000 financial settlement related to sexual misconduct with the actress in the 1990s.
 McGowan  claimed in a January interview published by the Guardian â before the allegations against Weinstein exposed a widespread scandal in Hollywood â that  she  had been blacklisted in the industry because of  her  experience.
In October   McGowan  told actor Ben Affleck to âf*ck offâ on Twitter after Affleck claimed not to have known about the allegations against Weinstein  with whom he collaborated on 1998âs Good Will Hunting.

" Dolly Parton's  work through  her  Imagination Library is awe-inspiring " Hayden said in the Library of Congress statement.
