The message that President Trump sent overnight to the Iranian regime: "Iran does not control the skies of its own country."
And when the President was speaking in the Situation Room with Fox News exclusively, he was joined by Vice President JD Vance and Special Envoys Kushner and Witkoff.
And Vance told Fox News about the negotiation process.
He said, we're certainly dealing with both: at the very highest levels of the political leadership in Iran, but also the IRGC.
The Trump administration right now has presented the Iranians with a deal that would ultimately open the Strait of Hormuz and curb their nuclear program.
And what's interesting is this morning, following these powerful U.S. strikes against Iran, the Iranians came out with a statement saying they have closed the Strait of Hormuz.
Well, they said that before, but the United States was taking millions of barrels of oil secretly out of the Persian Gulf.
And so it gives you a sense of the Iranian propaganda that is coming out of Tehran as it relates to this war and the reality on the ground.
And the reality overnight was that President Trump ordered these heavy strikes, not just against the southwestern part of the country, but President Trump tells me that some of the missiles actually hit just about 40 miles outside of the Iranian capital of Tehran.
-
Fox & Friends: So we've seen multiple operations now from our military intelligence.
They start with cyber first, and then they go after the defense systems, and then they hit their actual targets, whether it is a foreign leader or it is weapons facilities.
Launcher, yeah.
Or a launcher.
Do you get the impression, since they have only been targeting, really, the defense system, that the next phase, if they don't sign the deal, are the real targets.
-
Trey Yingst: Yes I spoke with President Trump earlier in the day before the strikes began and he told me he was getting closer to striking Iran's power plants and bridges because again Iran has been unwilling to sign this agreement.
There was something interesting that happened overnight as the President gathered in the Situation Room - you can imagine how tense this is - he was joined by the Vice
President and Special Envoys along with top generals and they have a lot of information coming in but at one point when I first spoke with the President, he had to go briefly because he was getting an incoming phone call from Iranian officials in Tehran.
And when the President called back, he described what that call was like.
He said they asked him to stop the bombing because, at that point, there were fighter jets over the skies of their country and they lacked the ability to actually defend their own territory.
And ultimately, the President was very clear.
He'll stop bombing if they sign the agreement.
It's a very clear equation.
The Iranians overnight did, however, respond against Gulf countries and U.S. forces in Bahrain and Kuwait, as well as Jordan.
According to the Jordanian army, 20 incoming Iranian ballistic missiles were shot down.
But there was no damage caused to U.S. forces.
And again, this speaks to the equation.
Now, the backdrop here in all of this is quite important.
And I spoke with President Trump about this as well.
As these strikes are taking place and the Iranians are unable to control the skies of their own country, the U.S. Naval blockade remains in ef
