Iran RAMPING UP efforts to target Americans, intelligence warns

WE ARE BACK WITH A "FOX NEWS". ALERT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS. WEIGHING WHETHER TO FINISH UP. IRAN. LISTEN. >> THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN HIT SO. HARD IN HIM A SO HARD NOW MY. QUESTION IS DO I MAKE A DEAL. WITH THEM OR DO I FINISH THEM. OFF? THAT'S THE ONLY QUESTION DO I. MAKE A DEAL OR FINISH THEM OFF? REMEMBER WE NOW CONTROL THE. HORMUZ STRAIT. THEY GET NOTHING BUT WE GET. EVERYTHING. THEY GET NOTHING. >> THIS COMES AS IRAN INSISTS IT.

HAS CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ AND THOUSAND UP TO LET. U.S. SHIPS IN THE PERSIAN GULF. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. NOW NEW INTEL WARNS IRAN HAS. QUÉBEC SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASED. EFFORTS TO TARGET U.S. PERSONNEL. IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ALL RIGHT JOEY WHEN WE TALK. ABOUT AS FAR AS TARGETING U.S. PERSONNEL ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. MILITARY? IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THE. WORRY IS THAT COULD BE A SOFT.

TARGET APPROACH HERE AS WELL. BEFORE THE MIDTERMS TO REMIND. PEOPLE AHEAD OF THE SELECTIONS. FROM THESE ARE CLASSIFIED. INTELLIGENCE REPORTS AND WE ARE. THE MEAT AND POTATOES OF THEM. BUT THE ECHO THEMSELVES NOT. GETTING TO READ WHAT THE REPORT. SAYS. WE ARE GETTING WHAT THEY ARE. ALLOWING US TO KNOW SO WE DON'T. KNOW IF THIS IS EVERY AMERICAN. CONSULATE ACROSS SOUTHERN EUROPE. AND EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TERRORIST. CELLS ARE PROXIES OR IRANIAN. MISSILES AND DRONES?

THIS IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS PUT OUT. THERE THAT IF AND WHEN WE RESUME. THE MIDTERMS AND IT SEEMS EVERY. DAY THE MESSAGING AND I ALWAYS. USE THAT WORD BECAUSE YOU CAN'T. PREDICT WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP. WILL DO WITH THE MILITARY THE. MESSAGING IS WE WILL RESUME THIS. WAR IF NOTHING ELSE CHANGES BUT. IT SEEMS LIKE TARGET OR ENERGY. INFRASTRUCTURE NUCLEAR. FACILITIES AND I FEEL OTHER THAN. THE ENERGY OF THE STRUCTURE IS. ALWAYS A TARGET SO I DON'T KNOW.

IF THAT CHANGES OR WHAT'S LEFT. ON THE BOARD AND WHY WE HAVEN'T. DONE IT ALREADY. >> THE PRESIDENT SAID DURING A. SOMEBODY'S WEIGHING BETWEEN A. DIPLOMATIC APPROACH OBVIOUSLY. WITH TEHRAN AND WE DON'T QUITE. KNOW FOR OBVIOUSLY MILITARY. ACTION. WE HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE BUT I. WONDER ABOUT THE ECONOMIC D-DAY. WE HEARD ABOUT ESPECIALLY FROM. SCOTT BESSENT THE TREASURY. SECRETARY. IRAN'S INFLATION AS OF TODAY IS. 89% AND WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT HOW. THIS MONEY THEY ARE LOSING AS.

FAR AS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OIL. IN AND OUT BECAUSE OF THE. BLOCKADE IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. SO SHALL WE WAITED OUT OUT AND. SEE IF THE COUNTRY CRUMBLES NOT. THE SAME SCALE BUT THE WAY THE. SOVIET UNION DID. JUST LET THEM IMPLODE. INTERNALLY? >> THAT'S THE STRATEGY. THE IRANIAN ECONOMY IS IN. SHAMBLES BUT NOT ONLY IS. INFLATION APPROACHING 1%, $0. THAT COME IN FROM OIL REVENUE. AND THEY HAVE ZERO SHIPMENTS. GOING OUT NOW SO THEY HAVE NO. POWER FORWARD. THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE HEARD. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S MESSAGE CHANGE.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT OKAY MAYBE. WE WILL TO NEGOTIATIONS THAT YOU. DON'T GET TO DICTATE THE TERMS. OF ANYTHING ANYMORE BECAUSE. YOU'VE HAD YOUR SHOT AND YOU OF. THE CONTINUING THIS WAR AGAINST. US. I DO THINK PERHAPS AFTER THE. MIDTERMS THINGS MIGHT HAVE TO. RAMP UP BUT THAT WILL BE THE. LAST WE SEE OF THE IRANIAN. REGIME. >> A REPORTER ASKED ABOUT SHOULD. WE EXPECT THEM AS IT IS TODAY. AND TO REPORTERS LEARNED BY NOW. HE'S NOT GOING TO TE.
