SOLMON. >> President Trump: THE HOUTHIS. ARE MISBEHAVING VERY BADLY. >> Trey: QUESTION IS IF THE. UNITED STATES COULD GET MORE. DIRECTLY INVOLVED POSSIBLY. LAUNCHING STRIKES AGAINST THE. HOUTHIS. THERE ARE CONCERNS THE ATTACKS. COULD INCLUDE IRANIAN. INVOLVEMENT ONCE AGAIN. >> TARGETING KINGDOM OF SAUDI. ARABIA IS TARGET OF GULF. COUNTRIES AND TO TARGET ENTIRE.

REGION AND TARGET GLOBAL. SECURITY. THOSE WHO BELIEVE PEACE IN THE. WORLD IS A COMMON RESPONSIBILITY. MUST HAVE ONE FIRM DEFINITE. STANCE, MUST CONDEMN HOUTHI. TERRORIST ATTACKS AND SHOULD. HAVE FIRMS STANCE IN TAKING. EFFECTIVE STEPS THAT CONKNOW. FRONT THIS THREAT. >> Trey: TRACKING THE LATEST IN. IRAN. IRGC TARGETED A VESSEL ON MONDAY. AS U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE REMAIN IN.

PLACE AND U.S. MILITARY IS STILL. ESCORTING VESSELS OUT OF THE. PERSIAN GULF. SEVEN AND A HALF MONTHS INTO THE. CONFLICT, THERE IS NO END IN. SIGHT AND VIOLENCE CONTINUES. >> Brian: ONE THING IS CLEAR, TREY, THE HOUTHIS ARE BEING USED. TO BAIT US INTO AN ACTION THAT. WOULD UP PRICE OF OIL AND GAS IN. THE NEXT TWO TO THREE WEEKS, THIS IS WHAT THE IRANIANS. PROMISED, THEY WANT TO AFFECT.

THE ELECTION AND OCTOBER. SURPRISE. THEY ARE DOING IT USING. SURROGATE TO RATTLE CAGE OF AN. ALLY MAKING IT TOUGHER DECISION. TO GET INVOLVED OR NOT. >> Trey: EXACTLY, YOU ARE SPOT. ON. HOUTHIS ARE IRAN'S SECOND. LARGEST PROXY JUST BEHIND. LEBANON. FOREIGNERS USE THIS AIRPORT. EVERYDAY. SECOND LARGEST AIRPORT IN SAUDI.

ARABIA. THEY ARE GOING AFTER ENERGY. INFRASTRUCTURE IN SAUDI ARABIA, MANY U.S.-BACKED ENERGY. COMPANIES IN SOUTHERN PART OF. THE COUNTRY. YOU SEE VIDEO FROM THE AIRPORT, THAT IS WHAT A BALLISTIC MISSILE. DOES TO KNOWA AIRPORT, IMAGINE. AT AN OIL REFINERY THE DAMAGE. CAUSED DURING THE ATTACK. WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE FULL. SCALE OF WHAT HAS TAKEN PLACE. HOUTHIS COULD EXPAND ATTACKS IN. THE GULF AND BEING DIRECTED BY.

THE IRANIAN REGIME. THEY RECEIVE FUNDING AND SUPPORT. FROM TEHRAN AND BALLISTIC. MISSILE COMPONENTS TO MAKE WHAT. IS BEING FIRED AT BUILDINGS CAME. FROM INNER00. THAT IS THE CONCERN AND PART OF. CALCULATION THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION HAS TO MAKE. >> Ainsley: IF YOU WATCH THIS. VIDEO, WE CAN ALL RELATE TO. THAT, WE HAVE SAT IN TERMINALS. WAITING ON FLIGHTS AND YOU CAN. SEE BOMBS GOING OFF AND MISSILES.

BLASTING AND CEILING FALLING. DOWN ON TOP OF THE INDIVIDUALS. DID ALL 14 DIE AT THE AIRPORT? >> Trey: ALL 14 DIED AT THE. AIRPORT, ON SATURDAY, 13 KILLED. WHEN BALLISTIC MISSILE TARGETED. TERMINAL THREE AND THEN ON. SUNDAY ANOTHER MISSILE ATTACK. TARGETED TERMINAL FOUR. LOOK WHAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING IN. THE VIDEO, THESE ARE MUSLIMS, LIKELY HEADING TO MECCA AND THEY. WERE TARGETED BY HOUTHI REBELS, SHIA MILITIA GROUP.

THEY ARE TARGETING CIVILIAN. INFRASTRUCTURE. ONE AMERICAN CITIZEN WAS KILLED. DURING THIS ATTACK. THEY DON'T CARE WHO DIES THEY. ARE PROXY OF IRANIAN REGIME. THIS MOMENT, CONFLICT SIMMERING. WITH IRAN DIRECTLY AND THEY ARE. TARGETING VESSELS AND USING. PROXY FORCES TO CREATE SENSE OF. INSTABILITY ON INTERNATIONAL. ENERGY MARKET. >> Lawrence: WE KNOW IRANIANS. ARE STRAPPED FOR CASH BECAUSE OF. THE ECONOMIC PRESSURE OF THE.

UNITED STATES IS PUTTING ON. THEM. IS RUSSIA AND CHINA FUNDING. PROXIES, AS WELL? >> Trey: SO RUSSIANS AND CHINESE. HAVE LARGELY HELPED IRANIANS TO. BUILD UP THEIR MISSILE STOCKPILE. AND WHAT THEY NEED TO BUILD. WEAPONS BUT WITH INTELLIGENCE. DATA TO HELP TARGET U.S. FORCES. IN THE REGION. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT. ALSO IRANIANS ARE SUFFERING. ECONOMICALLY AND NOT ABLE TO.

EXPORT CRUDE OIL BECAUSE OF. ONGOING U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE THAT. IS IN THE ARABIAN SEA. YOU HAVE A BROADER SITUATION IN. IRAN WITH A RAPIDLY WEAKENING. CURRENCY, 2 MILLION IRANIAN REAL. TO A SINGLE U.S. DOLLAR, COUPLED. WITH RISING INFLATION. PRESSURE IS BEING FELT BY. IRANIAN LEADERSHIP AND 90. MILLION PEOPLE INSIDE OF THE. COUNTRY. IRANIANS PREPARED FOR REALITY. AND MOSAIC DEFENSE AND.

INCOMALLY, THEY DON'T CARE IF. THEIR PEOPLE SUFFER, THEIR GOAL. IS TO SURVIVE AND SEVEN AND A. HALF MONTHS INTO THE CONFLICT, THEY ARE WEAKENED BUT STILL. LIVING. >> Brian: ARE THEY PAYING THEIR. ARMY OR IS IRGC WORRIED ABOUT. THEMSELVES? GENERAL JACK KEANE SAYS THERE. ARE GROUPS IN THE COUNTRY THAT. ARE GIVEN ARMS THAT WILL TAKE. THEIR COUNTRY BACK. THAT IS A DECISION THE PRESIDENT. WILL PROBABLY MAKE AFTER. MIDTERM. TRYING TO KEEP A LID ON IT, IT.

SEEMS, FOR NOW. >> Ainsley: WE WILL PROVIDE ARMS. FOR CITIZENS? >> Brian: FOR THOSE PEOPLE. SOMEHOW AND PROVIDE.
