YORK. >> Dana: NOT A HOLIDAY. NOT AT ALL. IT WAS A GREAT RUN. WE'LL HAVE MORE IN A BIT. I'M DANA PERINO AND THIS IS. "AMERICA'S NEWSROOM.". SO ON THE NEWS CENTCOM SAYS.

AMERICAN FORCES ARE EXPANDING. THE SCOPE OF THE STRIKES TAKING. OUT IRANIAN MILITARY ASSETS. AROUND THE COUNTRY PART OF. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S INCREASING. PRESSURE CAMPAIGN TURNED UP THE. HEAT IN IRAN OVER ITS AGGRESSIVE. ACTIONS IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. >> Bill: ALL COMING AMID A. TRAGIC REMINDER OF THE COST OF. BRAVERY. IRANIAN MISSILE STRIKES HIT AN. AIR BASE IN JORDAN KILLING TWO. MEMBERS ON FRIDAY. A FOURTH SOLDIER KILLED IN.

NORTHERN IRAQ. THEY ARE PAYING TRIBUTE TO THE. ULTIMATE SACRIFICE FOR AMERICA. >> WE FEEL VERY BADLY BUT THOSE. GREAT PEOPLE, THOSE GREAT. PATRIOTS OUT THERE FIGHTING THAT. IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR. WEAPON. IRAN HAS BEEN VERY, VERY BADLY. DAMAGED. THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING ALMOST. MILITARILY. THEY'VE GOT VERY LITTLE LEFT. >> Dana: GENERAL JACK KEANE IS. STANDING BY. LET'S START WITH TREY YINGST. LIVE IN TEL AVIV. GOOD MORNING, TREY.

>> GOOD MORNING. A NINTH CONSECUTIVE NIGHT OF. U.S. STRIKES HIT IRAN OVERNIGHT. ACCORDING TO CENTCOM MILITARY. COMMAND CENTERS A VARIETY OF. SURVEILLANCE POSITIONS AND DRONE. AND MISSILE LAUNCHING SITES WERE. HIT. THEY COME AFTER THREE U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS WERE KILLED BY. AN IRANIAN BALLISTIC MISSILE. ATTACK IN JORDAN ON FRIDAY. THEY ARE WORKING TO IDENTIFY THE. REMAINS OF THE THIRD SOLDIER. A FOURTH SOLDIER WAS KILLED IN. IRAQ OF AN UNEXPLODED IRANIAN.

DRONE. PRESIDENT TRUMP REACTED AND THE. U.S. STRIKES AND THE DEATHS OF. SOLDIERS ON SUNDAY. >> President Trump: THEY HAVE. GOT SOME MISSILES, DRONES, SOME. MANUFACTURING ABILITY. NOT MUCH. WE CONTROL THE STRAIT. THEY DON'T CONTROL ANYTHING. WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT WE HIT THEM VERY HARD AGAIN. TONIGHT AND WE DID THAT IN HONOR. OF THE PROBABLY THREE. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD FOX NEWS. LAST WEEK IF IRAN DOESN'T REACH.

A DEAL STRIKES WILL ESCALATE. THIS WEEK TO HIT POWER PLANTS. AND BRIDGES. SOME NEW PROPOSALS ARE BEING. DISCUSSED ACCORDING TO SOME. IRANIANS. >> PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN PUT. FORWARD BY THE MEDIATEORS AND. CONVEYED TO US AND WE HAVE. RECEIVED THEM. BUT FOR NOW ALLOW ME NOT TO GO. INTO DETAILS. WHAT CAN I CONFIRM? THAT IN RECENT DAYS THE. DIPLOMATIC OPERATORS HAS. REMAINED ACTIVE AND THAT IDEAS. HAVE INDEED BEEN CONVEYED TO US.

BY SEVERAL MEDIATORS. >> THE IRANIANS ARE SAYING. PUBLICLY THE MEMORANDUM OF. UNDERSTANDING IS SUSPENDED. REGIONAL COUNTRIES ARE PUSHING. FOR ANOTHER AGREEMENT AS. SECRETARY MARCO RUBE OWE. INDICATED THE DIPLOMATIC PATH. FORWARD REMAINS OPEN. >> IT HAS TO BE REAL DIPLOMACY. AND A DEAL THEY CAN LIVE BY. IRAN WAS SUPPOSED TO PUT OUT A. STATEMENT SAYING THE STRAITS OF. HORMUZ WOULD BE OPEN AND THEY. WOULD NO LONGER ATTACK SHIPPING. AND INSTEAD OF DOING THAT, THEY. ATTACKED THREE SHIPS. THAT WAS LAST FRIDAY OR.

SATURDAY. SO THEIR BEHAVIOR HAS TO CHANGE. IN ORDER FOR OURS TO CHANGE. >> AS WE'RE SPEAKING THERE ARE. REPORTS OF SIRENS SOUNDING RIGHT. NOW IN BAHRAIN. HERE IN ISRAEL THE MILITARY. REMAINS ON HIGH ALERT. YESTERDAY ISRAELI MISSILE. INTERCEPTORS WERE FIRED AT. IRANIAN MISSILE DEBRIS AS THEY. TARGETED THE SOUTHERN JORDANIAN. CITY. >> Dana: TREY IN TEL AVIV. >> Bill: THIS IS SOME OF THE. VIDEO THAT CENTCOM PUT OUT ON.

SUNDAY. SOME OF THE HITS THAT WERE. RECORDED ON THE GROUND THERE IN. IRAN. COME OVER ON THE MAP AND WE'LL. SHOW YOU WHERE MOST OF THE. ACTIVITY HAS BEEN FROM OVER THE. WEEKEND. STRAIT OF HORMUZ THAT CHOKE. POINT YET AGAIN IS THE FOCUS. POINT. AS YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF. REPORTED AN CONFIRMED HITS HERE. RIGHT ON THE IRANIAN SIDE OF THE. PERSIAN GULF. RIGHT HERE THE GULF OF OMAN. A FEW HITS ACROSS THE BORDER. FROM KUWAIT IN IRAQ AND ONE. OTHER INTERESTING POINT IN THIS. TOWN 325 NORTHWEST OF TEHRAN.

THERE WERE UNDERGROUND MISSILE. SITES TARGETED BY THE U.S. WE'LL WAIT TO SEE HOW SUCCESSFUL. THOSE MIGHT HAVE BEEN. IN RETURN NOW THE IRANIANS. STRUCK BACK AS WELL. KEEP IN MIND ALL THE YELLOW DOTS. ON THAT MAP BEHIND ME ARE ALL. U.S. MILITARY BASES THROUGHOUT. THE REGION FROM JORDAN UP INTO. NORTHERN IRAQ, MANY AROUND THE. AREA OF KUWAIT, BAHRAIN AND INTO. THE UAE. WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM KUWAIT. AND BAHRAIN THAT MISSILES WERE. INCOMING. WE BELIEVE NONE OF THOSE.

MISSILES MADE MUCH OF A CONTACT. WHAT TREY MENTIONED HERE IN. SOUTHERN JORDAN, IT WAS A PLACE. WHERE A KNOWN HIT TOOK PLACE. OVER THE WEEKEND. WITH REGARD TO THE BLOCKADE, IT'S STILL IN PLACE NOW RUNS. ROUGHLY FROM THIS POINT IN OMAN. UP TO THE BORDER BETWEEN IRAN. AND PAKISTAN. WHAT THE MILITARY IS TELLING US. SIX VESSELS WERE REDIRECTED AS. OF SUNDAY AND ONE OTHER VESSEL. WAS DISABLED. WHY THAT HAPPENED THEY DON'T PAY. ATTENTION TO INSTRUCTIONS OR.

OBEY THE COMMANDS AND ARE FIRED. ON. WE BELIEVE VESSELS CARRYING OIL. OVER THE WEEKEND AND OTHER. OCEAN-GOING CRAFT SOME OF THEM. MOVED THROUGH THE IRANIAN. PASSAGE. SOME OF THEM WENT THROUGH THE. INTERNATIONAL PASSAGE. A MIXTURE THROUGH THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ. JACK KEANE IS WITH US NOW SENIOR. STRATEGIC ANALYST. ON MONDAY GOOD TO HAVE YOU START. OUR DAY WITH US. NINE STRAIGHT NIGHTS, SIR, IS. NOT INSIGNIFICANT. DO YOU SEE THE CONFLICT MUCH.

DIFFERENT THAN IT WAS A WEEK. AGO? >> WELL, CERTAINLY, YES. LOOK, TAKING A RESTOCK ON A WHAT. HAS HAPPENED HERE. FIRST OF ALL WE WENT TO A. CEASE-FIRE APRIL 7TH AFTER 39. DAYS OF MILITARY OPERATIONS AND. WE WENT INTO A DIPLOMATIC PHASE. THAT LASTED ALMOST 90 DAYS. OUT OF THAT, WE DID GET A SIGNED. DOCUMENT, THE MEMORANDUM OF. UNDERSTANDING. WHAT WAS IN THERE IS ONE.

AGREEMENT AND 60 DAYS OF. NEGOTIATIONS TO GET TO THE TOUGH. FUTURE AGREEMENTS. BUT THAT ONE AGREEMENT WAS THE. STRAITS OF HORMUZ AND THE. PRESIDENT OF IRAN AND PRESIDENT. OF THE UNITED STATES BOTH SIGNED. THE AGREEMENT. WE HAVE SAID MANY TIMES ON THIS. BROADCAST YOU CAN'T TRUST THE. IRANIANS. THEY LIE ABOUT WHAT THEY INTEND. TO DO AND EVEN IF THEY SIGN A. DEAL, THEY LIKELY WILL NOT. COMPLY WITH IT. BUT THE FACT IS, EVEN WHAT THEY. DID THIS TIME THREE OR FOUR DAYS.

AFTER SIGNING THE DEAL, THEY. VIOLATED THE DEAL WITH THEIR. PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE ON IT BY. DISRUPTING THE STRAITS OF. HORMUZ. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO MAKE AN. ANNOUNCEMENT THE STRAIT IS OPEN. AND NO RESTRICTIONS AND NO. TOLLS, NO INSURANCE FEES, NOTHING. IT IS INTERNATIONAL WATERWAYS. NONE OF THAT TOOK PLACE. HONESTLY WE HAVE BEEN. RETALIATING AGAINST THAT. VIOLATION OF THAT DEAL EVER. SINCE. WHAT ARE WE DOING? WE'RE DOING WHAT WE COULDN'T GET.

DONE DIPLOMATICALLY. WE REMOVED OUR BLOCKADE AS PART. OF THE DEAL. THEY MAINTAINED CONTROL. NOW WE ARE CONDUCTING THE BATTLE. OF THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ TO. FORCIBLY OPEN THE STRAITS, SECURE IT AND EVENTUALLY CONTROL. IT. THAT IS WHAT IS TAKING PLACE AND. HUGE PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. AND AS WE ARE TAKING CASUALTIES. IN DOING THIS, CASUALTIES ARE A. PART OF WAR AND OUR HEART GOES. OUT TO THE LOSS OF LIFE HERE, AND THREE LOSSES OF LIFE HAS.

TAKEN PLACE, ONE NON-COMBATANT. AND POTENTIALLY A FOURTH. ADD THAT TO THE LISTS OF. THOUSANDS THE IRANIANS HAVE. KILLED, AMERICANS SINCE 1983, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING. WITH IN THIS BARBARIC REGIME. SO THIS IS GOING TO STILL TAKE. SOME TIME TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE. THAT OBJECTIVE. THE PRESIDENT HAS GIVEN TO HIS. MILITARY COMMANDERS. BUT THAT'S THE PATH WE'RE ON. WHAT IS THE FUSS ALL ABOUT WITH. THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ, BILL AND. DANA? FROM IRAN'S PERSPECTIVE THIS IS.

A STRATEGIC ASSET THAT EXCEEDS. THE NUCLEAR DEAL IN TERMS OF. THEIR ENTERPRISE. WHY? THEIR ENTERPRISE IS LARGELY. UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF RUBBLE. THIS IS A MEANS FOR THEM TO HAVE. INFLUENCE IN THE REGION AND. CONTROL THE DISTRIBUTION OF OIL. SOMETHING THEY ALWAYS WANTED TO. HAVE. THEY ARE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR. IT. >> Dana: THE AYATOLLAH PUT OUT. THIS STATEMENT. HE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE THOSE. INITIAL ATTACKS BUT HE SAID. THIS. NOW THAT THE AMERICAN ENEMY. SEEKS TO IGNITE WAR AND ENDURING.

HEAVIER COSTS IT SHOULD KNOW THE. IRANIAN NATIONS AND RESISTANCE. FRONT HAVE UNFORGETTABLE LESSONS. IN STORE FOR IT. COULD YOU SPEAK TO ANONYMOUS. REPORTING IN THE "WASHINGTON. POST" TODAY ABOUT OUR MUNITIONS. AND CAPABILITIES. WHICH OF COURSE I'M SURE THE. AYATOLLAH IN SOME WAY IS. FIGURING INTO HIS CALCULATIONS? >> YES. I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE SPECIFICS. OF IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW. IT IS NOT THAT I'M NOT.

REVEALING. BUT WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS. THAT IN THE TIME THAT OBVIOUSLY. THE 90 DAYS CONDUCTING THE. DIPLOMATIC EFFORT, WE'VE COME TO. FULL MAGAZINE DEPTH AGAIN AND. THE ISRAELIS ARE ALL FULL. MAGAZINE DEPTHS AS WELL. THAT'S WHAT I KNOW. SO I THINK WE HAVE TO ASK THE. ADMINISTRATION ABOUT IT. I'M CONFIDENT WE CAN EXECUTE THE. MISSION THE PRESIDENT HAS GIVEN. US IN FRONT OF US AND THE REASON. WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE WE'RE. FULLY PREPARED TO GO BACK TO.

MAJOR COMBAT OPERATIONS WHICH. WOULD BE TWO WEEKS WITH A. DIFFERENT SET OF TARGETS THAN. WHAT WE'RE PURSUING RIGHT NOW. ALONG WITH THE ISRAELIS. IF WE'RE PREPARED TO DO WHERE. THE TARGETS ARE MORE EXHAUSTIVE, I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE. >> Bill: WE'LL CHECK IN AGAIN IN. A FEW DAYS, PERHAPS MI.
