OF IRGC TARGETS WERE HIT. INCLUDING AIR DEFENSE SITES, RADAR SYSTEMS, MARITIME ASSETS, MINE LAND CAPABILITIES AND. COMMUNICATIONS SITES. PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD FOX NEWS. OVERNIGHT, IF THEY DO RESPOND, THEY'LL BE HIT MUCH HARDER. THIS IS A VERY BIG HIT TODAY. IF IT GOES A THIRD TIME THEY'RE. GOING TO BE TOTALLY WIPED OUT AS. A COUNTRY. THE IRANIANS DID END UP.

PRESIDENT GOES ON TO SAY THEY. ARE JUST PLAYING OUT THE. INEVITABLE. WHEN ARE THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. GOING TO RISE UP AND FIGHT, AS. US SANCTIONS CONTINUE TO. PRESSURE IRAN, THE IRANIAN REEL. IS CONTINUING TO DEVALUE WITH IT. NOW STANDING AT 2.1 MILLION REAL. TO A SINGLE U.S. DOLLAR. THE BLOCKADE OF IRANIAN PORTS IS. ALSO ADDING TO THE ECONOMIC. STRAIN. >> WHAT SECRETARY BESSENT IS. DOING IS UNPRECEDENTED, HE'S. ATTEMPTING TO ISOLATE FROM IRAN. ALL OF THEIR REVENUE SOURCES,

CAUSE TRUE ECONOMIC PERIL TO. THEM ON A SCALE THAT WE'VE NEVER. SEEN TO ISOLATE A COUNTRY. FINANCIALLY AND ECONOMICALLY AND. ALL OF THEIR NETWORKS AND JUST. SHUT THEM DOWN IN THAT SENSE. AND I LOVE THE OBJECTIVE HE'S. TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE. IT'S ECONOMIC COLLAPSE OF THE. NATION. >> Reporter: THE REGION NOW. WAITS TO SEE IF AND HOW THE. UNITED STATES WILL RESPOND TO. THE IRANIAN ATTACKS ON U.S. FORCES OVERNIGHT. GUYS.

OF A SNAKE OFF, BUT THE SNAKE. STILL THINKS IT'S ALIVE BUT THEY. REALLY AREN'T. AND EVENTUALLY THE TAIL WILL. STOP GOING AND THEY WILL REALIZE. THAT THEY'RE COMPLETELY DONE. HE GOES, IT'S A SLOW PROCESS, BUT IRAN IS OFFICIALLY DONE, THEY JUST DON'T -- THEY'RE NOT. AWARE OF IT YET. >> Brian: I'M JUST SO GLAD WE'VE. STOPPED WITH THE RIDICULOUS. TALKS BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO.

BE BELIEVED BY WHAT THEY SAY OR. AGRE.
