DEFIANT WARNING: Iranian foreign minister says Tehran ready for ‘DOOMSDAY WAR’

". THE BIG STORY IN THE FOX ALERT. PRESIDENT TRUMP JUST SPOKE WITH. "FOX NEWS" ABOUT THE LATEST. DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CONFLICT IN. IRAN PREDICTING WILL SOON BE ONE. WITHOUT RULING OUT NEW STRIKES. BEFORE THE MIDTERMS. >> THINK WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IS WE WILL WIN THIS WAR VERY. SOON AND AS SOON AS WE WIN IT. THE OIL WILL GO DOWN WAY DOWN TO. WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THE WAR A AND. THE KEY IS IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A.

NUCLEAR WEAPON. THAT'S THE KEY TO ALL OF THIS. >> ARE STRIKES BEFORE MIDTERM. STILL ON THE TABLE FOR YOU? >> I WANT TO SAY THAT. IT IS POSSIBLE BUT I DON'T WANT. TO SAY IT. SINCE THIS COMES AS IRAN'S. FOREIGN MINISTER WARNS TEHRAN IS. READY TO CLASH WITH THE U.S. AGAIN IF THEIR DEMANDS AREN'T. MET. >> WE ARE READY TO OPEN THE. STRAIT IF CERTAIN THINGS ARE. DONE BY THE U.S..

OUR ASSETS WHICH ARE FROZEN IN. THE MIDDLE EAST AND WE WON'T BE. OF THE SELL OUR OIL. WE ARE FULLY PREPARED FOR THE. WAR TO RESUME. EVEN IF IT CAUSES A DOOMSDAY. WAR. >> THE U.S. ISN'T BUDGING. INVESTOR TO BE WHEN MIKE WALTZ. SAYS PRESIDENT TRUMP TURNED DOWN. IRAN'S LATEST OUTBURST -- OFFER. BECAUSE OFFER BECAUSE THE CAN'T. BE TRUSTED SAID THEY WERE ASKING.

FOR EVERYTHING UPFRONT WITH A. PROMISE E THAT THEY WOULD THEN. TALK AND I'LL REMIND EVERYONE. ONCE WE GOT TO THE MOU FROM JUST. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE IRANIANS. VIOLATED IT BY ATTACKING. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AND IN. VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. THE PRESIDENT IS NOT CONFIDENT. THE IRANIANS ARE COMING IN GOOD. FAITH AND THAT WOULD TRULY. NEGOTIATE THE END OF THEIR. NUCLEAR PROGRAM. >> JOEY I GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP A. LOT OF CREDIT BECAUSE IT WOULD.

BE PERHAPS EASIER WHEN IT COMES. TO THE MIDTERMS TO TAKE SOME. KIND OF THE DEAL AND MAYBE EVEN. TEMPORARILY OPEN UP THE STRAIT. AND MAYBE RELIEVE THE GAS PRICES. IN THE SHORT TERM IN ORDER TO. RELIEVE THE IMMEDIATE PRESSURE. BUT HE SAYS WE'VE BEEN DOWN THIS. ROAD BEFORE. WE CAN'T TRUST IRAN AND I'M NOT. TAKING THIS DEAL. I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE. SELLING AND WE ARE NOT YOU THESE. THINGS UP FRONT WITHOUT REAL AND. HONENEST ACTION ON YOUR PART. SO I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT. MOVE STRATEGICALLY. WHAT IS YOUR SENSE?

>> SOMETIMES TO THINK AND BE. TRUE ONCE BUT BUT THIS ONE CAMPR. THEY CAN CONTROL THE STRAIT AND. IRAN BARGAINING OPENING THE. STRAIT AT THE SAME TIME SO. THERE'S MIXED MESSAGING THERE. BECAUSE EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS. SAID OR RELEASE PAIR PHRASED. THEY OFFERED TO OPEN THE STRAIT. WILL PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IN THE. ADMINISTRATION COMES ON AND SAYS. WE CONTROLLED THE STRAIGHT SO IT. DO WE CONTROL IT OR IRAN CAN. OPEN IT BUT IT CAN BE BOTH. IT'S A BIT OF A MIXED SIGNAL. THERE. OUTSIDE OF THAT BECAUSE I THINK. WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY WE. CONTROL THE STRAIT WE HAVE.

OPENED UP SOME SHIPPING LANES. THAT SHIPS COULD USE. I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY MEAN BY. THAT BUT WHAT THAT THING IS THAT. THREAT IS STILL THERE FOR IRAN. TO ATTACK. WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS I. THINK WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS. WAR THAT DOESN'T TELL ME I THINK. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A DEAL. THAT TELLS ME THERE'S AT LEAST A. PLAN TO GO ON THE OFFENSIVE. BEGAN. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IRAN PROPOSING. HEY YOU KNOW WHAT, WE WILL. REDUCE OUR URANIUM ENRICHMENT. AND WE WILL OPEN UP FOR.

INSPECTIONS AND IF THAT'S WHAT. THEY ARE OFFERING I DON'T SEE. HOW THERE'S A DEAL TO BE MADE. I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID. EARLIER TODAY MAYBE LAST YEAR WE. WOULD HAVE TAKEN THAT DEAL ARE. RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT EVEN ON THE. TABLE. AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT THE. ONLY THING THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. IS RECYCLE THE SLEIGHT-OF-HAND. LIKE THEY HAD BEFORE THE USER. WHAT WE ARE DOING HASN'T WORKED. OR THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO. OFFER AND ARE ON THE PRECIPICE. OF WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID.

WINNING THE WAR. >> DOEOES THIS MEAN THE ECONOMIC. PRESSURE CAMPAIGN IS WORKING. WHEN YOU HAVE THEM SEEMINGLY. READY TO MAKE SOME TYPE OF A. DEAL ALTHOUGH THE CAN'T BE. TRUSTED? PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS BEEN SAYING. THEY ARE TO MAKE A DEAL PERHAPS. THIS IS A SEEING IT FOR THE. FIRST TIME THERE'S PLENTY FOR. PUTTING ECONOMIC PRESSURE. CAMPAIGN IS BEGINNING TO WORK. AND AMERICAN ALLIES ARE STARTING. TO COME ON BOARD WITH THIS. THE QUESTION IS OF COURSE WHEN. YOU PREVENT IRAN FROM USING THE. U.S. DOMINATED FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

ARE YOUR ALLIES GOING TO COME. ALONG WITH THAT? EITHER THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE. SYSTEM WITH US OR GO INTO. BUSINESS WITH IRAN AND THAT'S. SOMETHING THAT HAS TO WORK DOWN. EVEN ON THE GRANULAR LEVEL WITH. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT AND ALL. THAT. IF YOU HEAR WHAT THE U.N. INVESTOR MICHAEL WALTZ HAD TO. SAY ABOUT THIS IT APPEARS ON THE. U.S. PERSPECTIVE THAT WITH THE. IRANIANS HAVE OFFERED IS. ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING THEY. THEY HAVE BEEN OFFERING IN THE. PAST JUST REPACKAGED AS A WAY OF. DOING CONCESSIONS. WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN HERE.

BASICALLY IS TOO INTRACTABLE. POSITIONS. CAN THE ECONOMIC HARM THAT THE. U.S. PLACES ON IRAN GET THEM TO. MOVE AND CAN THE GAS PRICES GET. THE UNITED STATES MOVEMENT SEEMS. LIKE BOTH SIDES ARE WITHIN OUT. WINDOW RIGHT NOW. >> KAYLEIGH TO THAT POINT HOW DO. YOU WINDOW WHEN EVERY DEAL YOU. MAKE -- HOW DO YOU WINDOW WHEN. EVERY DEAL WILL GO BACK ON. ECONOMIC RELIEF AND A SEEMINGLY. GO BACK TO THEIR OLDLD WAYS AGA. HOW DO YOU END IT?

HOW DO YOU WIN AS PRESIDENT. TRUMP SAID. >> I THINK WHAT PRESIDENT NEEDS. TO COME OUT AND SAY IS WE HAVE. ALREADY ONE. IF THE OTHER SIDE HAS ABSOLUTELY. NO LEVERAGE OVER US AS A COUNTRY. THAT NO ONE HAS ANY DOUBT ABOUT. WHAT THE OUTCOME IS ACTUALLY. GOING TO BE WHICH IS THAT IRAN. IS GOING TO EVENTUALLY GIVE IN. WHETHER THROUGH PHYSICAL OR. ECONOMIC COLLAPSE THE BATTLE HAS. ALREADY BEEN RUN IN AND NOW IT'S. A WAITING GAME TO SEE WHEN IT. DOES COLLAPSE. AND LIKE THAT'S WHY THINK LIKE. THAT'S WHY THINKING OF THE.

IRANIAN REGIME COMING OUT AND. TRYING TO SAY WE WILL AGREE TO. THE STIPULATIONS AND WE WANT TO. SELL OUR OIL AND WE WANT ACCESS. TO OUR FUNDS. NO, YOU DON'T GET ANYTHING NOW. YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO MAKE. THESE STIPULATIONS WITH THE. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AND. YOU THAT UP BECAUSE NOW THE. ADMINISTRATION DOES WANT TO GIVE. YOU ANYTHING AT ALL. WHATEVER PRESIDENT TRUMP DECIDES. YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHICH MORE. THAN LIKELY WILL BE THE. VENEZUELA TREATMENT IN THAT'S. WHAT THEY NOTICE ONE OF THEIR. BIGGEST ALLIES CHINA IS.

ADVANCING THEM. THERE'S A REASON WHY AFTER THE. STATE VISIT CHINA CAME OUT AND. AGREED THAT IRAN CANNOT HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON AND I CANNOT. CONTROL THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THAT'S A HUGE TELL THE CHINA. KNOWS IRAN HAD HAS NO MOVEMENT. IN THE SITUATION THEY ARE ON THE. VERGE OF COLLAPSE. >>>> DO THEY HAVE LEVERAGE JOEY? >> THEY HAVE PLENTY OF. SHORT-TERM METH -- LEVERAGE. MY PREDICTION IF THE DEMOCRATS.

ON THE HOUSE THEY GO INTO. INVESTIGATION MODE IN PETE. HEGSETH THE TOP OF THEIR LIST. NOT BECAUSE HE'S DONE A BAD JOB. BUT BECAUSE WITH SIGNAL GATE AND. THINGS LIKE THAT THEY PROBABLY. THINK HE'S OPERATING THE LOOSEST. AND EASIEST TO FIND SOMETHING. THAT'S MY SUSPICION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE. IF YOUR SECRETARY OF WAR IS. GOING THROUGH AN IMPEACHMENT. HEARING AND IF THEY ARE TURNING. THE DESK AND FLIPPING THE PAPERS. AND LOOKING AT THE PILES HOW. FOCUS CAN YOU BE ON WAR STRATEGY.

AND CANNOT DETER US FROM. CONTINUING WHAT WE ARE DOING? THE TERMS ARE A TICKING CLOCK ON. WINNING THIS WAR IN IRAN. I REALLY DO AND THE OTHER THING. IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE MONEY. WE DON'T HAVE AN UNLIMITED. BUDGET. WE HAVE A FULLY FUNDED. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ANYWAY AND. THEY ARE ASKING FOR A LOT OF. MONEY AND A LOT OF IT NECESSARY. TO DETER CHINA AND THE PACIFIC. SO DEMOCRATS COULD DANGLE THAT. UP OVER THEIR HEADS SO THAT'S. SOMETHING WE HAVE TO WORRY. ABOUT. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SAYS I I THINK. WE ARE GOING TO WIN THE WAR IN.

THE HEAD TO TALK TO THESE MIDDLE. EASTERN COUNTRIES THAT THEY. LISTEN WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH. PATRIOT MISSILES TO PROTECT ALL. OF THE ALL THE TIME IF IRAN. DECIDES TO BASICALLY DO THE. GRAND FINALE FIREWORKS AND SEND. EVERYTHING THEY HAVE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BE ABLE TO. BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES TO. WITHSTAND SOME HITS AND TO. PROTECT YOURSELVES IF WE HAVE TO. HIT THIS RED BUTTON WHERE WE. TAKE THEM OUT. I DON'T KNOW IF PRESIDENT TRUMP. IS SIGNALING THAT WORKED THERE. GETTING READY TO DO IT BUT THE. MESSAGING IS LEANING THAT WAY.

WE CAN REDUCE THE RUBBLE IF WE. NEED TO BE THE BIGGEST CONCERN. IS THEN DO WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED. IN PLACE TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE. AND OUR BASES AND OUR ASSETS IN. SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER. COUNTRIES. THEY WILL SAY BEFORE YOU DO. ANYTHING YOU NEED TO INCLUDE US. TOO AND THAT'S BEEN THE LEVERAGE. IRAN HAS HAD IT'S NOT WHAT THEY. CAN DO TO US O.
