• 0:01
  Speaker 1: After almost two weeks of daily strikes against Iran, the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: past two nights have been remarkably quiet. This is President
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Trump warned earlier this week the US is locked and
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: loaded if tensions reach a tipping point. Fox News Chief
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Foreign correspondent Trey Yanst is live in Tel Aviv with
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the latest.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Trey, Yeah, Hey, Peter, good morning. For now, the United
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: States has halted strikes against Iran as tension remains high
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: across the Middle East. White House officials have indicated that
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: many options remain on the table, including a military option
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: for President Trump as he explores solutions involving force and diplomacy.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Every once in a while, they're going to set some
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: things up, but they don't have much left. And by
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the way they are talking to us right now, they'd
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: love to make a deal. I don't think they're ready to.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's time yet, but I'm willing to listen.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: But they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: White House Communications Director Stephen Chung told Fox News Digital
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that President Trump has always been consistent and in saying
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: he prefers a diplomatic solution, but he continues to retain
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: all options if Iran continues terrorist activities in the Strait
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of Hormuz or against allies. The US naval blockade remains
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in effect as the economic pressure is being felt inside
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: of Iran.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: The economic situation is much worse than previous years. If
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: we take inflation into account, it may have nearly doubled.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Incomes have fallen, and the value of our currency has declined.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: All of this has an impact and life has become
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: a bit more difficult.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: As US and Iranian officials say, diplomatic efforts are ongoing
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to reach a deal that could end the current escalation.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The Iran backed Hoothis in Yemen are once again in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: direct conflict with Saudi Arabia after attacking two Saudi owned
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: oil tankers last week. The Saudis responded with heavy air
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: strikes against the Yemen based proxy group. The Houthis then
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: ramped up attacks on Saudi oil refineries, launching new missiles
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: over the weekend. Days ago, President Trump issued a warning
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to the Houthies, saying that if these attacks on vessels
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: in the Red Sea continue, that both the Hootis and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Aron would pay a military price. There are a lot
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: of moving parts right now in the region, but an
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: ongoing US military build up continues to give President Trump
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a variety of options moving forward.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Peter Trey, Yanks, thank you. Let's now bring in former
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Centcom Deputy commander and retired at US Navy seal Vice
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Admiral Robert Harwood, Admiral. President Trump is thinking of a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bigger than ever attack on Iran at the moment. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: New York Times says he has decided not to do that.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Mike Waltz just said that he hasn't made a decision.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But if he decides to go with this bigger than
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: ever attack, do we have a bomb big enough to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: get these guys interested in peace talks again?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Well, any singular bomb isn't the answer to the overall
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: efforts and capabilities have And I think the real options
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: they may be preparing now for his boots on the
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: ad to really show the Iranian people that we're moving
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: to the end of this government in Iran. I think
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: that's what he's come to the realization they tried to
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: MoU gave them the opportunity, they responded with aggression, going
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: after the straight So I think the President's preparing to
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: go the full way on this, and that's why part
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: of this break in the effort, position forces and be
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: prepared to go to the net step of escalation.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And if he does decide to put boots on the ground,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: like you're saying, there's a real danger because Iran is
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: now getting help from apparently from some superpowers. Even though
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the US has really rocked the Iranian military, they're still
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: shooting missiles and drones and killing Americans. The War Secretary
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: suggested that China and Russia might have their hand in this.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Listen to this, and you said today that Russia and
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: China are not helping. Earlier this week, it takes that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: said that they are enabling.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So what is the difference.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know that they're enabling.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I will tell you the president she said
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: he will not partake. And President Putin said the same thing.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I think you know, I trust them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: If China and Russia aren't helping Iran, who is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: No, there's no doubt that Russia and China are involved.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: This is in their strategic efforts. China standing oil from
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Iran at a very discounted price. It continues to undermine
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: the West. So this alliance between and every president has
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: realized this and said this between China, Russia Iran and
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: North Korea is irrefutable, and the other three aren't nuclear
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: armed states, So of course their assisting and providing enablers.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Is it with material, is it with intelligence? Anything they
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: can get away with, because it's obviously we've been in
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: conflict with all of them for decades and none of
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: them want to confront us militarily, but they've all conied
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: US asymmetrically. They've been cyber attacks, they've threatened our people
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: in our countries, especially the Iranians. So yeah, so I
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: think it's pretty obvious they mutually support each other's interests.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And this conflict, when it was still epic fury began
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: with day one, the US took out the supreme leader,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Ayatola. The Secret Service is now really worried about
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the Iranians trying to kill President Trump. The New York
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Times has this piece that President Trump abruptly switched aircraft
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: when leaving Turkey this month after what officials judged to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: be a credible threat that Iranian proxy forces were targeting
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: him and Air Force one. Does Iran have the ability
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: or their proxies have the ability to shoot down Air
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Force one?
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Well, that's the great uncertainty but the fact is they've
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: been saying this for a year. It's clearly their intent.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: They may not have the capability, and maybe they do,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: but the fact that they've been saying this for years
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: and for years we've had to provide protection to our
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: leadership in the US because of surgates and agents of
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Iran is completely unacceptable, indicative why we have to move
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: to a government in Iran which no longer supports these policies.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: So it's being their surgates targeting our leadership in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: US and other places, going after Air Force one, if
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: they had a stinger or some sort of element of
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: power that they were provided by either the Russians or
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: the Chinese. All of these things are just a confirmation
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: of what Iran has been doing for decades and why
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: the President now has this unique opportunity to go after
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: and establish a government in Iran that will mean peace
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: and stability in the region for decades to come. And again,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: these are all indicators of why we have this opportunity
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: have now and we cannot lose it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And to your point about President Trump possibly putting boots
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on the ground there, he says that he's not thinking
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: about the midterm elections. He just wants to do what's right,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: so it could be a total zag like that. We'll see,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Admiral Harward, thank you very much for being here.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Good to be with you, Peter.
