OVERNIGHT: U.S. Military Unleashes Strikes on Iranian Targets

Meanwhile, the seven minutes down to the top of the hour. U.S. military launching new retaliatory strikes on Iran. As President Trump says, the Islamic regime is playing out the inevitable. Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yinks is live from Tel Aviv with the details. Good morning, Trey. Yeah, hey guys, good morning. The United States unleashing a series of airstrikes against southwestern Iran overnight. According to CENTCOM, a variety of IRGC targets were hit, including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, mine laying capabilities, and communication sites. President Trump told Fox News overnight, if they do respond, they'll be hit much harder. This is a very big hit today. If it goes a third time, they're going to be totally wiped out as a country. The Iranians did end up responding with the U.S. coming under fire in multiple different countries. They launched 13 ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in Jordan. They also targeted the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq with missiles and drones. The offensive operations against the Americans will continue in a decisive manner until they regret their crimes. We warn that continued American provocations in the region will be met with heavier, broader, and more destructive responses. The president posting to True Social after the exchange of fire saying, I'm not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table. I like our position now much better, with almost total control of the Hormuz Strait and their economy totally collapsing. The president goes on to say they are just playing out the inevitable. When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? These comments come as U.S. sanctions continue to pressure Iran. The Iranian rial is continuing to devalue, with it now standing at more than 2.1 million rial to a single U.S. dollar. The U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports is also adding to the economic strain. What Secretary President is doing is unprecedented. He's attempting to isolate from Iran all of their revenue sources, cause true economic peril to them on a scale that we've never seen, isolate a country financially and economically and all of their networks, and just shut them down in that sense. And I love the objective that he's trying to achieve here. It's economic collapse of the nation. The region now waits to see if and how the United States will respond to the Iranian attacks on U.S. forces overnight. Guys? Wow, very fluid situation. Thanks so much, Trey. Appreciate it. Scott Besson described it in an interview with Larry Kudlow yesterday, that it's like when you cut the head of a snake off, but the snake still thinks it's alive. But they really aren't. And eventually, the tail will stop going, and they will realize that they're completely done. He goes, it's a slow process, but Iran is officially done. They just don't, they're not aware of it yet. I'm just so glad we're stopping the ridiculous talks, because there's nothing to be believed by what they say or agree to. So that's why I just salute the President for his patience in doing this.
