00:00:00.000The current choices on the table as wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a0.93
00:00:06.420deal. He added, my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up, they better behave.0.98
00:00:20.080So President Trump told Fox chief foreign correspondent Trey Yinst that he is
00:00:27.580in the deciding mode of very big things that are going to happen in the near future
00:00:32.040regarding the U.S.-Iran war. My question is, when do I blow the entire nation up?0.69
00:00:38.900That's an open nuclear threat. Here it is.
00:00:42.080Let's get to some breaking news right now. Trey Yanks is live again in Tel Aviv
00:00:45.960with an urgent update from the president. Hey, Trey.
00:00:49.620Yeah, hey, guys. Good morning. I just spoke with President Trump about the situation with Iran.
00:00:53.480He tells Fox News he's in a deciding mode and that very big things are going to be happening in the not so distant future.
00:01:00.820The president described the current choices on the table as wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically or making a deal.0.58
00:01:09.240He added, my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up, they better behave.
00:01:14.420Now, I asked the president about the U.N. General Assembly this week.
00:01:17.780Iranian President Masoud Pazeshkian is going to be there.
00:01:20.500And I asked if he'd be open to meeting with the Iranian leader, and he said he'd probably be open to it, but described this weekend as no different from any other weekend, despite these alerts that went out to U.S. citizens across the region.
00:01:34.540It's not just the situation with Iran and the ongoing U.S. naval blockade, but also the attacks by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen that targeted Saudi Arabia yesterday with ballistic missiles.
00:01:44.280The president said the United States is in constant communication with the Houthis and that they've agreed not to fight the United States.
00:01:51.520But again, the big headline here, the president says he is in a deciding mode as it relates to Iran and that some big things will be happening in the not so distant future,0.97
00:02:00.840adding that the Iranians better behave. And he is making this decision as to whether or not to blow up their nation.0.82
00:02:06.860Can you give us any idea about what not so distant future means? Are we thinking hours or are we thinking days?
00:02:15.220The president described some of the challenges that the Trump administration faces right now when dealing with the Iranians.
00:02:21.540He said some of the officials are hiding like rats.
00:02:24.240That's what he described it as in terms of actually getting people to the table that could make a deal.
00:02:29.240But ultimately, the Trump administration is dealing with two groups of people inside of Iran.
00:02:34.020The more moderate voices, Iranian President Masoud Pazeski and Abbas Arkaqi, the country's foreign minister.
00:02:39.040But then you have these hardline IRGC officials that have continued to try and attack U.S. forces across the Middle East.
00:02:46.220And so the president seems to grasp this very well.
00:02:48.920But again, at this moment, the U.S. naval blockade remains in place.
00:02:54.560And according to CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, more than a billion barrels of crude oil have been escorted out of the Persian Gulf since the blockade went into place.
00:03:03.280And it undercuts the Iranian efforts to try and stabilize their economy.
00:03:06.820me. And so in terms of a timeline, it's not clear at this moment. But again, a big week with the
00:03:11.680U.N. General Assembly and Iranian officials will be in New York City for those meetings.
00:03:16.100Right. So the Iranians closed the strait and Trump declares, OK, we're closing it, too. It's more
00:03:20.800face saving stuff. Let's hope all these B-2 bombers, they don't fly those. They don't take0.70
00:03:26.220those off on that mission out of there unless they're bombing. I'm this may be different this
00:03:30.340time, but I think you're going to see Iran hit by B-2 bombers again tonight. Let's hope that's1.00
