Iran issues new WARNING as US SURGES forces to Mideast

. SHANNON. >> Shannon: THANK YOU FOR. KEEPING US UPDATED. >> Bill: ROBERT GREENWAY, THANK. YOU FOR COMING BACK AND GOOD. MORNING TO YOU. WE LEARNED FROM OVERNIGHT THE. B-ONE BOMBER IS IN THE THEATER. DURING THE FIRST TIME IN IN. CONFLICT. A LOT OF REPORTING ABOUT THE. SURGE OF AIRPLANES AND PERSONNEL. INTO THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS BEYOND. THE OPTIONS FOR THE. COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF? >> IT'S GOOD TO BE WITH YOU.

IRANIANS HAVE PROVEN THEY CAN'T. BE TRUSTED TO PURSUE A. DIPLOMATIC APPROACH OR ABIDE BY. ANY AGREEMENT. HAVE CLOSED THAT THE PRESIDENT. IS COMPELLED TO RESUME MILITARY. OPERATIONS AND ESCALATE NOT ONLY. TO RESTRICT CAPACITY AND DISRUPT. SHIPPING IN THE STRAITS OF. HORMUZ BUT ALSO THE BALLISTIC. MISSILE CAPACITY THAT STRUCK OUR. TROOPS IN JORDAN OVER THE. WEEKEND. IN THE END, I THINK WHAT WE CAN. BE ENCOURAGED BY IRAN HAS VERY. LITTLE CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY. LEFT. IF THEY ESCALATE THE UNITED.

STATES HAS RUNGS IN THE LADDER. BEYOND THE REACH OF IRAN AND. SURROGATES THE HOUTHIS. STRIKING UP TO A DOZEN VESSELS A. DAY AT ONE TIME UNTIL THE UNITED. STATES LAUNCHED A SUSTAINED. CAMPAIGN TO REDUCE THEIR. CAPABILITY THAT COULD BE IN THE. OFFING AS WELL. >> Shannon: I WANT TO BRING IN. WHAT IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER. SAID ABOUT THIS. HE SAID OUR DOCTRINE IS CLEAR, EYE FOR AN EYE. ANY AGGRESSION AGAINST IRAN. INCLUDING INFRASTRUCTURE WILL. COME PET A POWERFUL APPEARED.

DECISIVE RESPONSE. THOSE WHO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. AGGRESSION WILL ALSO BE. CONSIDERED AS LEGITIMATE. TARGETS. THEY SAY POWERFUL AND DECISIVE. RESPONSE. WHAT DO THEY HAVE LEFT? WE CONTINUE TO SEE BALLISTIC. MISSILES GO OUT AND THEY REACH. FARTHER THAN WE ESTIMATED. BEFORE. THIS CURRENT CONFLICT ERUPTED. YOU TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE. CAN HAVE OVERWHELMING FORCE. AGAINST THEM. ARE WE IN SOME WAYS PULLING. PUNCHES? >> IT'S TOUGH TALK FROM SOMEONE. CRAWLING FROM THE RUBBLE OF A.

STRIKE THAT KILLED THEIR SUPREME. LEADER. THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME 40% OF. MILITARY LEADERSHIP WAS. ELIMINATED. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH CAPACITY. THEY HAVE. THEY CAN'T DEFEND THEMSELVES. DO THEY HAVE LAUNCHERS AND. BALLISTIC MISSILES LEFT, YES. UNFORTUNATELY PREVIOUS. DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENTS ALLOWED. THEM TO EXPAND THEIR PROGRAM. THAT'S BEEN REVERSED. SIGNIFICANTLY. NO SYSTEM IS 100%FER EFFECTECT. THE OCCASION GNAT MISSILE HAS. GOTTEN THROUGH.

THEY HAVE FAR LESS CAPACITY TO. DO SO AND THE UNITED STATES HAS. THE CAPABILITY IF ISRAEL WAS TO. REJOIN ACCELERATE IT FURTHER. SHOULD IRAN CONTINUE TO EXPAND. THE SCOPE OF THE CONFLICT. THE UNITED STATES HAS THE. CAPABILITY TO DESTROY THE. REMAINING CAPACITY. >> Bill: YOU WERE PART OF THE. ABRAHAM ACCORDS GETTING IT. UNDERWAY. A DAY AND A HALF AGO WE LEARNED. ABOUT THE U.S. MAKING A DEAL. WITH SAUDI ARABIA FOR A CIVIL. NUCLEAR PROGRAM TO BE BUILT WITH. AMERICAN COMPANIES. NOW WE HAVE THIS FROM THE.

PRESIDENT JUST ABOUT AN HOUR. AGO. THE CIVIL NUCLEAR DEAL, NO. ENRICHMENT OF MATERIAL. BEING MADE BETWEEN THE UNITED. STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND. SAUDI ARABIA WHICH PERTAINS ONLY. TO NON-MILITARY USE SUCH AS THE. ONES IRAN AND UAE AND OTHERS. ALREADY HAVE WILL BE APPROVED. BUT TOTALLY SUBJECT TO SAUDI. ARABIA JOINING THE VERY. RESPECTED AND SUCCESSFUL ABRAHAM. ACCORDS. THE UNITED STATES IS NOT OPPOSED. TO CIVIL NON-ENRICHED NUCLEAR. FACILITIES. THE MENTION OF THE ABRAHAM.

ACCORDS WAS NOT IN THE REPORTING. TWO NIGHTS AGO. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT. INSERTED TODAY. >> GOOD TO HEAR. THE PRESIDENT NEVER TAKES HIS. EYE OFF THE BALL. EXPANDING OUR PARTNERS AND. ALLIES AND INCREASING CAPABILITY. WITHOUT ENRICHMENT AND JOINING. THE ACCORDS IT IS A GOOD DEAL. 30 YEARS AND ADDITIONAL. PROTOCOLS TO MAKE SURE THERE IS. NO DEVIATION. THOSE WHO SUPPORTED AGREEMENTS. WITH IRAN TO ALLOW THEM A. NUCLEAR PROGRAM CAN'T NOW. CRITICIZE THE IDEA OF GIVING IT. TO A MORE TRUSTED PARTNER AND.

ALLY. I THINK THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR. THTHE RIDGE AN AND ULTIMATE WE. HAVE TO SHORE UP OUR POSITION. AND BUILT AND EXPAND ON THE. ABRAHAM ACCORDS AND THAT'S WHAT. THE PRESIDENT INTENDS TO DO. >> Shannon: DO YOU SEE ANY. POLITICAL TROUBLE FOR A DEAL. COMING TOGETHER AND ANY TROUBLE. YOU WOULD SEE GETTING. CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL? >> 2/3 TO OVERRIDE A VETO. NO ENRICHMENT AND CONDITIONAL. UPON JOIN THE ACCORDS I DON'T. THINK IT WILL BE A PROBLEM.

>> Bill: DIRECT FLIGHTS UNITED. STATES TO LEBANON HASN'T. HAPPENED IN 40 YEARS. PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED IT. WILL LEBANON SIGN THIS DEAL? >> THEY MIGHT. THE DEGREE TO WHICH THEY ARE. CAPABLE OF ENFORCING IT I DON'T. KNOW. HEZBOLLAH RAN PORTS AND. AIRPORTS. DIRECT FLIGHTS WILL BE DEPENDENT. UPON SECURITY MEASURES THAT. WOULD EXCLUDE THEM FROM A. TRADITIONAL SOURCE OF REVENUE. INTERESTING TO SEE IF THE. GOVERNMENT OF LEBANON CAN MANAGE. IT. IT WOULD BE GOOD NEWS IF THEY. COULD. >> Shannon: GREAT TO SEE Y.
