The ship has sailed on the MoU, expert says

0:00Fox News Earth this week, Donald Trump slammed Iran with fresh air strikes for the first time in a month. Sen. Combed torch-dare defense sites, radar systems, mind-laying capabilities, communication sites are gone. It was a record night 60 targets hit while we were escorting 18 million barrels of oil right through the strait. We're only fired off for missiles because we caught the Iranians sneaking around in the dark. They were trying to build a rocket that drops mines. Who does that? Did you ever build a rocket that dropped? I never heard of such a thing, but that's what they were doing. They were building it. It was almost finished. We took it out. We saw that they were building it. We see everything that they're doing. They can't go to the bathroom without us seeing it. In response, Iran played their usual play. They're lobbing bombs at their golf neighbors. And yet they still wonder, why can't we be friends? Overnight, Iran launched another attack in the golf targeting Kuwait with missiles and drones. Siren sounded there, forcing people to take shelter. We know the Kuwaiti foreign ministry called this a violation of the country's sovereignty.

1:01The event came after President Trump indicated on Wednesday the United States is prepared to strike Iran again when needed. So Trump's putting Iran on notice. He's implementing a tanker for tanker policy. You clip an innocent tanker sailing through the strait. We're going to blast one of yours right back, right away. It's already in effect. Take, for example, Tuesday. They had airstrikes that disabled two of their ships. Instead of turning them around, we blew them up. First time we've ever gone aftertankers that don't run the blockade and it's holding strong. Not a single drop of oil has left her moves from Iran. They're not doing well at all. And so it's just a question of time. Just a question of time every day, every night. Many, many boats loaded up with oil. And so far, I don't want to speak too bravely, too foolishly. But so far, they've done very little to be able to stop it. All we move millions of barrels in and out of homoos are forces, rain interference, knocking down several cruise missiles and drones fired in their direction. The Iranians are doing what the Iranians do.

2:01I think that they're losing their capabilities by the day. I think they're realizing, by the way, that their control over the strait of hornboos is effectively gone and it's a diminishing asset. So if you go back three months ago, how much oil and gas was coming out of the strait under Iranian threats? It was virtually nothing. Now it's almost back to where it was before the conflict even started. So my advice to the Iranians is stop acting like crazy people and stop shooting at commercial shipping. Yeah, that would be nice if they took anybody's advice. Meanwhile, Bessons, the Treasury Secretary, has their wallet in Chocole. He hit Iran with economic D-Day over a week ago, cutting off every sugar daddy that they've got left. We are going to sever every time that they have from the outside world. For instance, last Friday, we sanctioned the Dubai branches of an Egyptian bank and they had provided more than $1.8 billion to the regime since 2025.

3:02And we are going to systemically go through and take every bad actor like that out. This is all hands on deck. And I believe him. And this is just in. The EU is officially joining us in Operation Economic Outcast. Things are heating up fast in the Middle East. Missiles are flying and a broader war might be right around the corner. Trump posted this on two social. I'm not trying to force Iran to the bargaining table. I couldn't care less if they signed a worthless agreement to them, to an agreement. I like our position much better with almost total control of the straight and their economy totally collapsing. They're just playing out the inevitable. He made his mission clear from the jump and he doesn't want to stop until he completes it. The regime is getting weaker and weaker by the day and at some point, I'm not going to be able to shoot so easily because I think the people aren't going to take it. Major John Spencer is the executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute and author of a great new book. It's his story.

4:03Twenty times, I almost died. Major, you're an expert in this area. With the President thinks, you know, with the stats and what we're doing. How do you view where we're at in this war right now? I mean, I think it's all positive science, Brian. Despite those wishing that we don't succeed almost on every line of operation, whether it's the economic news around the regime and its proxies, Hezbollah. It's crown jewel proxy currently being destroyed by the Southern Lebanon government and Israel asking for money. Iran can't do it. It's hyperinflation. The reality is worth nothing, like 2 million reality, $1. So many indicators. We control the straight up for a move. We can get all of that oil out where the bypasses are starting to work. There's actually more getting out for a single day and people want to criticize, but not a weekly rate. It's all indicators that the strategy is working and there is almost no negative indicator,

5:06even the Abraham Lincoln switch style. The George Washington's there now. We have an all-seeing eye. We can see them trying to build a missile if they move towards a nuclear site. And I agree that the ship has sailed on the memorandum of understanding and we're looking at capitulation, I believe, of the Islamic regime to save itself. We did a good job shutting off ground entrances in and out. I hear we're starting to blow up the roadways and the tracks and the trains that might be bringing some equipment for the routes from Turkey or Turkmenistan or Russia. Yeah, absolutely. That's got to be a part of the all-seeing eye as they are desperate to get resupply, whether that's Russia bragging about supporting Iran, saying it's going to give them what they need to survive this or China or others trying to bring things over land or air. And I think that those eyes are there. There's always more that could be done, but there's risk, of course, to the population. And I think that's what's important here is that we have, of course, support the Iranian

6:08population. Yeah, so let's talk about the population. The president put this on truth social and he basically said, hey, guys, when are you going to rise up and take your country? When are the Iranian people going to rise up and fight? What's it going to take? Because they paid a huge price when they didn't in January. Do we have to have something in place for them to go to the streets and make them give them guns? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they lost tens of thousands in a matter of days, 48 hours, actually. It's really hard to do that question without them having arms. And we heard some kind of information whether it was about the Kurdish or arms. They also had to have protective gear, communication gear. It's a very dangerous, messy business. I, of course, want to see Iran and people free and what that would do to the entire region, the growth and prosperity that would happen. But it's very dangerous to ask them to do that. You also want to start the information operation, which was actually happened in the past that

7:10you don't want the Iranian army, which is separated the IRGC. You want them to sit it out. You want them to join the protesters and also of the Air Force. It's a really complex thing, but it's not impossible. But now the internet's back up. Maybe they want to get in touch with us and let us know what the bad guys are. Because we know how to target them. I also would love to see the IDF and Assad back in there. Nobody has better intelligence and sources than them inside Iran. Go pick up John Spencer's book.
