BREAKING: US launches 9th night of strikes on Iran

NEW WAVE OF STRIKES IN IRAN. THIS FOLLOWS THE DEATH OF THE. THIRD U.S. SERVICEMEMBER IN THE. DEATHS OF TWO U.S. SERVICEMEMBERS IN JORDAN WERE. KILLED DURING IRANIAN BALLISTIC. MISSILE AND DRONE STRIKES ON. U.S. ASSETS.

THE REMAINS WERE FOUND AT THAT. SITE RAISING CONCERNS IT COULD. BE THE MISSING SERVICE PERSON. >> I WANT TO BRING IT TO THE. TABLE FOR DISCUSSION AND TOMI. WILL START IT WITH YOU. THIS IS A NINTH ROUND OF. STRIKES. ONE OF THE POINTS OF CONTENTION. HERE IS WHAT ARE WE HITTING. INNOCENT CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE. AND ARE THERE INTERNATIONAL ROSE. AGAINST THAT? EVERYTHING CENTCOM HAS PUT OUT.

FOR THE ADMINISTRATION IS PUT. OUT HAS BEEN A WILL SAY THINGS. LIKE WE HIT 160 TELECOM TOWERS. THAT COULD BE USED FOR DRONES SO. THEY AREN'T CONNECTING THIS. BILLION INFRASTRUCTURE TO THE. MILITARY OPERATIONS WHICH THE. RJC OPERATES IN IRAN TO BEGIN. WITH. THERE ISN'T A GOOD WAY TO. DISCERN BETWEEN THE TWO TO BEGIN. WITH SO WE ARE IN A SIT AND WAIT. AND SEE THE.

>> IT'S NOTABLE IF A NINTH. CONSECUTIVE NIGHT OF STRIKES. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IN DIRECT. RESPONSE TO THE KILLING OF OUR. SERVICEMEMBERS OR IF THIS WAS. THE PLAN ALL ALONG. I GUESS WE ARE NOT SURE BUT HE. LEFT ASSUME THINGS WILL RAMP UP. DUE TO THE ATTACKS ON OUR. SERVICEMEMBERS AND IF THOSE. CONTINUE TO IMAGINE PRESIDENT. TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO STAND FOR. THAT AND I WOULD EXPECT HIM TO. ESCALATE ACCORDINGLY. I THINK THERE WILL BE A LOT OF. DISCUSSIONS THIS WEEK TO THE. POINT WE ARE MAKING ABOUT HOW. DOES THIS IMPACT OUR ECONOMY AND.

ARE REPUBLICANS GOING TO GET. COLD FEET BECAUSE WE ARE COUPLE. OF MONTHS FOR MIDTERMS? ALL THINGS WE WILL FIND OUT THIS. WEEK I'M SURE. SPEAKER LISA SECRETARY RICE SAID. WE ARE A TWO-THIRDS OF CONFLICT. TRAFFIC IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THE IDEA IS WE ARE STILL MOVING. TANKERS THROUGH THE STREET AND. IT'S NOT CLOSE. WE ARE DOING BLOCKADES BUT A LOT. OF SKIDDING THROUGH AND DON'T. WORRY ABOUT GAS PRICES. >> ALSO CHANGING THE WAY WE GET. THAT THROUGH AS WELL. SOME OF IT HAS BEEN ON LAND BUT.

IT'S IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO. GET OUT. NOT PREWAR PREWAR LEVELS BY. GETTING GETTING MUCH BETTER. WHICH IS POSITIVE NEWS. ALSO ONE THING I WANTED TO POINT. OUT AS PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL. DELIVER THAT SPEECH THAT HE GAVE. BOWIE AT THE CHAOS GOING ON IN. IRAN RIGHT NOW THERE'S INTEREST. IN NEWS WITH IRAQ ON THE. COMMERCE SIDE. AHEAD OF THE BILATERAL MEETING. WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP ON.

JULY 14th I BELIEVE THE NEW. IRAQI PRIME MINISTER WROTE AN. OP-ED IN THE "WASHINGTON POST". LAYING OUT HEY WE NEED TO. RETHINK OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH. THE UNITED STATES. COMMERCE COMMERCE, THE SMOOTH. U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. ANNOUNCED RECENTLY OVER. $60 BILLION WORTH OF DEALS AND. ROUGHLY 50 WITH U.S. COMPANIES. AS WELL AS THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT. HERE'S WHY IT MIGHT MATTER. PERTAINING TO ITS GOING ON IN. IRAN COULD I SPOKE WITH RETIRED. U.S. NAVY VICE ADMIRAL JOHN.

MILLER. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW THE. IRAQ HAS OPERATED UNDER IRANIAN. INFLUENCE SINCE THE IRAQ WAR AND. ALSO TALKING ABOUT HOW THE NEW. PRIME MINISTER, THE NEW PRIME. MINISTER HAS STATED AND IS TAKEN. EFFORTS TO REIN IN SOME OF THESE. IRANIAN BACKED SHIITE MILITIAS. WHO HAVE CARRIED OUT ATTACKS ON. U.S. FORCES ON REGIONAL PARTNERS. AS WELL. IT'S INTERESTING WHERE PRESIDENT.

TRUMP TRYING TO REWRITE THE. RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAQ AND. SEEING HOW IT'S PLAYING OUT IN. THE MIDDLE EAST. I'VE BEEN UP SINCE 3:40 A.M.. >> THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAID. WE ARE KEEPING THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ BUT LET'S LISTEN HERE. >> WE ARE AT A LITTLE UNDER. 14 MILLION BARRELS A DAY FROM A. REIGNING GULF REGION THAT'S. TWO-THIRDS OF CONFLICT TRAFFIC. DRAMATICALLY UP FROM WHERE WE.

WERE IN MARCH AND ASSURING OIL. AND GAS AND OTHER PRODUCTS CAN. FLOW THROUGH THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ WITH OR WITHOUT IRANIAN. CORPORATIONS IN. >> I THINK THE PROBLEM WE HAVE. HERE IS THESE GAS PRICES AND. EVERYTHING WE ARE SEEING ACROSS. THE COUNTRY ARE STILL VERY HIGH. AND AMERICANS THEY DON'T THINK. ABOUT THIS IN TERMS OF THE. STRAIT. IT'S SOMETHING THEY PROBABLY. DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT ALL BEFORE.

THIS ENTIRE CONFLICT BEGAN. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ARE. PAYING ATTENTION TO AND AGAIN I. THINK WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THE. PRESIDENT IS WHAT IS THE END. GOAL IN WHAT IS THE PATHWAY? WHAT IS ACHIEVABLE IN THIS. MOMENT AND FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. WHAT WE ARE LIKELY TO SEE IF. THEY RAMP UP IN REACTION TO. THESE DEATHS. IT'S SOMETHING THE PRESENT IS. NOT GOING TO GO ON RESPONDED TO. AND WHAT DOES THAT INCLUDE? DOES THAT INCLUDE GOING AFTER. THE GREAT ENTIRE ROUND AND.

HAVING TARGETS WHERE PEOPLE CAN. CLAIM THEY ARE BEING USED BY. CIVILIANS FOR TRANSPORTATION. INFRASTRUCTURE AND WATER ETC.. AT THIS POINT WE ARE DEALING. WITH A DELICATE AND UNSURE. SITUATION AND THE AMERICAN. PEOPLE DESERVE CLARITY CLEAR. THE. >> I AGREE WITH YOU ON NOT. AT THE END OF THE DAY. SERVICEMEMBERS ARE DYING AND. PEOPLE ARE PAY.
