Trump's Iran Deal and Military Actions

Fox News alert, Trump just called off strikes in Iran

at the last second and has announced

all parties have agreed to final points of a deal.

We just made a great settlement

of the war with Iran and we're gonna be subject to finalization of documents.

We should get done over the next few days.

Probably have a signing maybe in Europe.

Trump told the Post a deal is pretty much wrapped

up and Top Brass and Iran have approved a draft agreement.

The terms extend the ceasefire,

immediately reopen the strait, and in 60 days Iran has to downgrade their uranium to zero.

We don't lift the blockade until the uranium is vaporized

and we don't unfreeze any of their money until they behave.

For weeks we haven't heard a peep from the gay Ayatollah

but now he's coming out. Has the Supreme Leader approved this deal, sir?

I understand the answer is yes.

The last two nights have really gotten the Iranians attention.

The USS Michael Murphy launched dozens of Tomahawk missiles

hitting Iranian surveillance, communication systems, and air defenses along the southern coastline.

These were the most ferocious and devastating airstrikes since we ended major combat operations

in April.

Tonight was going to be even worse.

We were going to hit them very hard for the last three days.

We're going to hit them even harder tonight.

They knew that. We told them exactly what we were going to do.

We explained it exactly because they had no Navy, they had no Air Force, they had no

any weapons of detection, they had nothing.

And so we could tell them exactly what they, there wasn't a thing they could have done about it.

It wasn't just these airstrikes that put the pressure on.

The president warned Iran he would just keep bombing them every night until they signed and flirted openly on Fox and Friends about seizing Karg Island.

Reports say the combination of airstrikes and Trump's saber-rattling really unsettled the enemy and forced them to agree to terms.

And one of the most embarrassing revelations for the Iranians was Trump disclosing that the U.S. Navy has been conducting Operation Freedom in secret,

finessing dozens of tankers out of the strait right under Iran's nose.

Because without radar, satellite, and comms, the U.S. Navy is deaf, dumb, and

blind. Over the last month, we've been taking our ships, big ships, quietly at night.

You guys didn't know that. Pretty cool, right? As a captain.

He knows more about ships than I do, but it's pretty cool.

They turned off the lights. We bombed their radar and everything,

so they couldn't see what was going on. We took them out at night, and the Strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon.

Today, CENTCOM said the Strait's open for business, for everyone except the Iranians.

CENTCOM officially declaring the United States now controls the Strait.

Our forces disabled another blockade runner in the Gulf of Oman.

A Guinea-flagged MT Javelin was trying to transport oil from Iran,

until one of our aircraft fired two Hellfire missiles straight through our engine room.

The president told Fox last night that the mullahs called him, begging him, begging him to stop the strikes.

They've taken a pounding like very few people could take,

and they want to make the deal a lot more than I do.

And we could have had it done the other way, I guess, but it would have taken longer.

They got hit very hard recently, as you know,

and I don't like to have to do things that way, but I felt it was necessary.

It's a great deal for the United States and for the Middle East.

Trump's been waiting at the negotiating table for two whole weeks, and now we're finally inches away from a deal.

J.D., he could be signing a memorandum of understanding in Europe this weekend.

You know, Trump's got to be at the UFC fight.

Has Iran committed to not pursuing a nuclear weapon, or will there be more negotiations on that down the line?

They will not have a nuclear weapon. They've agreed to that.

There will be no, which is the whole reason, which is a big part of the reason.

Is that going to be your agreement, sir?

They will not only not have, they will not purchase,

develop in any way, any shape, in any way, shape or form

a nuclear weapon. They will not have a nuclear weapon.

But we have been down this road before.

It's not over till it's over.

Until we witness the dust being destroyed, anything can happen.

But this time does feel different.

Felt different for the market, too. Dow shot up 900 points.

Oil fell into the 80s.

And administration sources tell Primetime this looks like it's it.

Remember, the president's aiming for a great deal or no deal.

And wouldn't it be nice if we could get one this weekend on the president's birthday?

Why do you wish yourself for your birthday?

For my birthday.

Well,

I'll go a step bigger. Peace for the world.

Peace for the world. Middle East, yes. Peace for the whole world.
