DEVELOPING: Iran FORTIFYING nuclear sites, tankers STRUCK in Strait of Hormuz

>> SO THIS MORNING NEW WARNING. SIGNS FROM IRAN, THE TERROR. REGIME REPORTEDLY FORTIFYING ITS. NUCLEAR SITES AND LOYALISTS SAY. UK OFFICIALS SAY TWO SHIPPING. CONTAINERS HAVE JUST BEEN STRUCK. IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ MARKING. TEN ATTACKS IN A WEEK THIS AS. THE U.S. EMBASSY IN RIYADH WARNS. AMERICANS TO RECONSIDER TRAVEL. TO SAUDI ARABIA AFTER DEADLY. HOUTHI MISSILE ATTACKS AT THE. AIRPORT. MEANWHILE CONCERNS SPREADING TO. EUROPE WHERE OFFICIALS SAY IRAN.

IS ALMOST CERTAINLY BEHIND A. SUSPECTED PLOT TARGETING AN UK. AIR BASE USED BY U.S. FORCES. >> WE WILL NOT TOLERATE THESE. THREATS ON OUR SOIL. WE WILL CRACK DOWN ON IRAN'S USE. OF CRIMINAL NETWORKS USING OUR. FULL RANGE OF POWERS TO TARGET. THEM AND THEIR FUNDING STREAMS. AND WE WILL BRING FURTHER. SANCTIONS TO RESTRICT THE. CAPACITY I NE IRAN AND THE IRGC. TO DO US HARM. >> FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR REBECCA. HEINRICH JOINS US NOW. FIRST OFF IRAN WITH THEIR.

NUCLEAR SITES AGAIN, IT'S EASY. TO SEE, WHY DON'T YOU THINK. WE'RE DOING ANYTHING YET HAS. EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE. MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND THE PRICE. OF GAS AND OIL? >> YEAH, I THINK BRIAN AT THIS. POINT THAT UNITED STATES HAS SO. BADLY DEGRADED THE U.S. MILITARY. AND U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND SO. SUCCESSFUL IN PROTECTING SHIPS. IN GOING THROUGH THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ, I SAW WE JUST GOT 19. MILLION BARRELS OF OIL THROUGH. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ JUST. YESTERDAY THAT WE ARE PRETTY. COMFORTABLE BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH. A MILITARY ADVANTAGE AGAINST THE. IRANIANS.

BUT AS YOU SAID THE IRANIANS. HAVE NOT GIVEN UP YET SO THEY'RE. TRYING TO FORTIFY THEIR NUCLEAR. SITES AND THAT MEANS, TOO, BRIAN. THAT THEY KNOW THAT PRESIDENT. TRUMP IS ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT. BLUFFING THAT HE DOES HAVE THE. WILL AND CAPACITY TO GO BACK AT. THE IRANIANS TO FINALLY MAKE. SURE THAT THEY CAN'T REBUILD, RECONSTITUTE THEIR NUCLEAR. FACILITIES. REMEMBER, WE'VE GOT AN AIRCRAFT. CARRIER SURGING TO THE REGION. THAT SHOULD ARRIVE AROUND THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ SOMETIME AROUND. NOVEMBER. >> Brian: WHEN SAUDI ARABIA GETS. HIT OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE.

ALLIANCE WITH THEM BUT SAUDI HAS. THE NEW ALLIANCE WITH PAKISTAN. AND TURKEY. WONDERING WHY THAT HASN'T BEEN. TRIGGERED YET BECAUSE THEY'RE. HITTING CIVILIAN AREAS THE. HOUTHIS, TRYING TO PROVOKE OUR. RESPONSE, CERTAINLY A SAUDI. RESPONSE. >> Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT. I DON'T REALLY THINK THAT THIS. OTHER POTENTIAL MECCA ALLIANCE. REALLY MEANS ANYTHING. THE SAUDIS UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S. REALLY THE UNITED STATES THAT IS. THE ONE THAT CAN PROVIDE. STABILITY IN THE REGION WITH OUR. GREATEST ALLY ISRAEL AND THESE.

GULF PARTNERS SHOULD INCREASE. THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE. ISRAELIS. THAT'S THE WAY TO GET PEACE IN. THE REGION. THE IRANIANS ARE OPERATING THE. SO-CALLED ACCESS OF RESISTANCE. AND THEY'RE UTILIZING THE. HOUTHIS WHICH IS A THAT. THATTEDIST PARAMILITARY. OPERATION TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE. GULF STATES. BRIAN IT'S NOT JUST THAT THEY. ARE TARGETING THE SAUDIS THEY. KILLED AN AMERICAN TARGETING. THAT AIRPORT THE OTHER DAY. >> Brian: THE PRESIDENT IS. SHOWING REMARKABLE PATIENCE. BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY THE.

OCTOBER SURPRISE ISN'T IT? THIS IS TRYING TO BAIT AMERICA. IN TO JACK UP THE PRICE OF OIL. OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS A BARREL. LEADING UP TO THE MIDTERM. ELECTIONS BECAUSE THEY WROTE A. 28 PAGE LETTER ALREADY TO. AMERICA VOTE SAYING VOTE. DEMOCRAT SO WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING. ON. LET'S JOG OVER TO UKRAINE. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THE U.S. IS. STILL SHARING INTEL WITH UKRAINE. BECAUSE THERE ARE REPORTS TODAY. THAT WE HAVE STOPPED. UKRAINE SAYS THE LAST TWO DAYS. WE'VE GOT NOTHING AND THAT. STARLING HAS PAIRED BACK THEIR. OFFENSIVE WEAPONS TO LOCATE.

SITES INSIDE RUSSIA. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING REBECCA. HEINRICH? >> IF WE WERE DOING THAT WE. WOULD BE SNATCHING DEFEAT FROM. THE JAWS OF VICTORY BECAUSE THE. UKRAINIANS ARE DOING WELL ON THE. BATTLE FIELD. THE UNITED STATES SHOULD DO WHAT. WE CAN TO HELP THEM DEFEND THE. LINE AND DEFEND THEMSELVES. THE UNCONSCIONABLE IF THE UNITED. STATES WOULD DO ANYTHING THAT. WOULD GIVE THE RUSSIANS THE. ADVANTAGE AT ANY POINT. THE PRO PEACE POLICY AND. STRATEGY AT THIS POINT IS TO. PRESSURE THE RUSSIANS WHO ARE.

CONTINUING THEIR ASSAULT AGAINST. THE UKRAINIANS. REMEMBER, IF THE UNITED STATES. DOES ANYTHING TO INCREASE OR. HELP THE RUSSIANS AT THIS POINT, THE RUSSIANS ARE THE ONES THAT. THE ONES PROVIDING HELP TO THE. HOUTHIS. WE JUST HEARD FROM TREY YINGST, SO THAT IS DIRECTLY CAUSING. AMERICAN CASUALTIES AND TFK RUGS. BACK IRAN WHICH THE UNITED. STATES IS ENGAGED IN AN ACTIVE. CONFLICT. >> Brian: AND REBECCA, IT'S JUST. SO CLEAR THAT ZELENSKYY WOULD. NOT HIT A REFINERY IF THEY STOP. HITTING HIS POWER GRID AND. EVERYTHING ELSE AND THEY DID IT.

LAST NIGHT. I WAS WATCHING THE FOOTAGE RIGHT. BEFORE HE CAME HERE IT'S OUT ON. THE BBC DOING LIVE COVERAGE. IT'S OBVIOUS THE PRESIDENT I.
