Jack Keane: This will be COMPLETELY unacceptable

HANDS ON SOME. >> Aishah: MORE ON THIS LATER IN. THE HOUR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> Dana: PRESIDENT TRUMP. WEIGHING HIS NEXT STEPS IN THE. CONFLICT WITH IRAN. RENEWED STRIKES ARE HIGHLY. UNLIKELY IF TALKS SO PROGRESS. NEW REACTION FROM THE REGIME. IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYING. THE BALL IS IN AMERICA'S COURT. SAYING AMERICAN VOTERS HAVE MADE. THEIR CHOICE. TIME FOR THE WHITE HOUSE TO MAKE. ITS OWN. OUR TWO-DAY PROPOSAL STANDS. MEET THE REQUIREMENT INCLUDING. END TO WAR ON ALL FRONTS AND YOU. WILL SEE RESULTS OR CHOOSE WAR.

AND SEE OUR ALERT AND BATTLE. HARDENED WARRIORS RAIN DOWN. HELL. JACK KEANE IS HERE. JUST WANT TO PLAY A LITTLE. SNIPPET FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP. LAST NIGHT ON 60 MINUTES ON THE. IRAN WAR. >> DO YOU HAVE REGRETS ABOUT THE. DECISION TO HELP THE ISRAELIS DO. DECAPITATION STRIKES ON IRAN? THAT CHANGED THE IRANIAN REGIME. AND SEEMS LIKE IT MADE THEM. ESCALATE. YOU COULD HAVE KEPT HITTING THE. NUCLEAR FACILITIES, RIGHT. >> President Trump: YOU COULD.

HAVE DONE THAT. WE HAD PEOPLE THAT WOULD HAVE. GONE FURTHER. WE DECAPITATED THEIR NUCLEAR. ARSENAL. I DEAL WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE AND. THAT'S WHAT I'VE DONE MY WHOLE. LIFE. I MAKE DEALS AND I MAKE GOOD. DEALS. >> Dana: IS IRAN MISTAKEN IN ITS. ASSUMING THAT IT'S IN A POSITION. TO GIVE THE UNITED STATES A. TWO-DAY ULTIMATUM? >> WELL, I THINK IRAN FEELS. EMBOLDENED FOR A COUPLE OF. REASONS. ONE, THE OUTCOME OF THE. ELECTIONS.

REMEMBER, THEY WERE TRYING TO DO. EVERYTHING THAT THEY POSSIBLY. COULD TO INFLUENCE THESE. ELECTIONS AND TRY TO INDICATE TO. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THE WAR. WASN'T GOING RIGHT AND IT WAS. DRAGGING OUT. PROTRACTED WAR AND THE REST OF. IT. I THINK WHERE THE IRANIANS ARE, THE DEMOCRATS TOOK BOTH HOUSES. AND I THINK THE IRANIANS ARE. WAITING TO SEE IF THE DEMOCRATS. WILL SHUT DOWN THE WAR. I DON'T THINK THERE IS MUCH. INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO COME. FORWARD AND MAKE ANY DEAL NOW. LISTEN, WHEN THEY DO PRESENT.

THEIR DEAL, WE KNOW IT IS GOING. TO BE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. WE ALSO KNOW ANOTHER THING. THEY WILL NEVER COMPLY WITH IT. THE PRESIDENT KNOWS ALL OF THAT. THE QATARIS ARE COMING TO TALK. TO HIM. THE PRIME MINISTER THERE. THEY MEDIATE BUT BELIEVE ME THEY. OPERATE IN THEIR OWN NATIONAL. INTEREST. THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THIS. POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAN. THEY HAVE HELPED THEM FOR YEARS. THESE GUYS HAVE FUNDED HAMAS AND.

QUITE COMPLICIT HERE AND THEY. EXAGGERATE A BIT IN TERMS OF. WHERE THE IRANIANS ARE AND. THEY'VE LET US INTO NEGOTIATIONS. THAT LIKELY HAD NO CHANCE OF A. POSITIVE OUTCOME. THE ADMINISTRATION'S EYES ARE. WIDE OPEN. PRESIDENT SAYS SOMETHING. PUBLICLY. HE ALSO DEALS WITH THE REALITY. OF IRAN. THE QATARIS, AND THE DYNAMICS OF. THAT REGION AND HE CAN'T. POSSIBLY DISCUSS ALL OF F THE. COMPLICATIONS HE IS DEALING WITH. EVERY SINGLE DAY. >> Dana: OVER THE WEEKEND THE.

HOUTHIS CONTINUED THEIR FIGHT. WITH THE SAUDIS AND THERE WAS. RETALIATION FROM THE SAUDIS AS. WELL. THE HOUTHIS STRIKING RIGHT IN. THE FINANCIAL AREA OF SAUDI. ARABIA IN THE FOR THE STUDY OF. WAR YOU ALL SAID THE HOUTHIS. CONTINUE TO TARGET CRITICAL. INFRASTRUCTURE TO COERCE SAUDI. ARABIA TO GIVE IN TO HOUTHI. DEMANDS. ANY UPDATE ON WHERE THAT STANDS? >> THAT'S VERY UNLIKELY. THE HOUTHIS HAVE ATTACKED.

SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF. 40 SOMETHING ATTACKS. CASUALTIES LIGHT, DAMAGE LIGHT. AS WELL. NOT THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN. DAMAGED. WE SAW THE AIRPORT. THAT WAS BACK UP AND RUNNING IN. 36 HOURS. I MEAN, WE ALL HAVE TO. UNDERSTAND SOMETHING. IF YOU ARE AT WAR THERE IS A. PRICE TO BE PAID. IT'S LIKELY CASUALTIES AND. DAMAGE. SO THAT'S THE REALITY OF WHAT. SAUDI ARABIA THE FACING HERE AND. THE HOUTHIS ARE A CHALLENGE. WE'VE OUTLINED IN DEPTH ON THIS. SHOW WHEN WE HAD MORE TIME WHY. THEY ARE SUCH A CHALLENGE.

BUT THE REALITY IS THAT ONCE. IRAN GOES AWAY, THE HOUTHIS. BEGIN TO EVAPORATE AND SO DO ALL. THE PROXIES. THAT'S THE TRUTH OF IT. >> Dana: THE PRESIDENT WILL BE. MEETING WITH QATAR'S PRIME. MINISTER TODAY AT THE WHITE. HOUSE. DOES THAT LOOK LIKE ANYTHING FOR. POSSIBLE TALKS AND RESOLUTION. WITH IRAN? >> I THINK I JUST ANSWERED THAT. ONE. I DON'T EXPECT MUCH. I THINK THEY WILL OVEREXAGGERATE. WHAT'S GOING ON. THEY MEDIATE IN IRAN'S FAVOR, TO. BE FRANK.

WE'LL SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. I GAVE THEIR RATIONALE. I DON'T THINK IRAN HAS ANY. INCENTIVE TOTO MAKE A DEAL UNTI. THEY SEE WHAT THE POLITICAL. OUTCOME OF THE TWO HOUSES. SWITCHING OVER ARE. >> Dana: EVERY DAY WHEN YOU LOOK. AT THE NEWS IT IS LIKE WE ARE. GOING BACK TO WAR OR THEN THE. HOPES OF A PEACE DEAL. PEOPLE WATCHING OIL PRICES GO UP. AND DOWN CAN FEEL LIKE IT IS. DRAGGING ON AND I CAN IMAGINE. PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED. SOMETHING NEW AND HELP EXPLAIN.

TASK FORCE IRON GATE AND WHAT. THE UNITED STATES PLANS TO DO. HERE AND HOW IT MIGHT CHANGE. THINGS. >> TASK FORCE IRON GATE THROW UP. THE MAP. WHAT IT DEALS WITH IN REALITY IS. THAT'S NOT THE MAP. IT SHOWS ALL THE BORDER. COUNTRIES. YEAH, THE REALITY IS THERE ARE. SEVEN COUNTRIES THAT BORDER IRAN. AND D THERE IS ALSO THE CASPIAN. SEA AND THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ.

WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS WE HAVE. SHUT DOWN THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ, THEIR MAJOR TRADING ROUTE. AND IT IS EXQUISITE WHAT WE HAVE. SHUT OFF THERE. BUT THE CASPIAN SEA, THE REALITY. IS RUSSIA IS PASSING CARGO SHIPS. TO IRAN USING THE CASPIAN SEA. THERE IS ALSO AIRPORTS THAT ARE. OPEN. CHINA IS LANDING AIR CARGO AT. THOSE AIRPORTS AND CHINA IS ALSO. PASSING THROUGH PAKISTAN ON SIX.

DESIGNATED ROUTES INTO IRAN, MILITARY SUPPLIES. WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS ALL. BEING REPORTED BY REUTERS AS A. RESULT OF INVESTIGATIVE REPORT. THEN THESE OTHER BORDER. COUNTRIES AROUND IRAN AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THEM THERE. THEY ALL HAVE OBVIOUSLY OVERLAND. ROUTES INTO IRAN. THERE ARE 25 BORDER CROSSINGS. THERE THAT ARE OFFICIAL PORTS OF. ENTRY. MANY OTHER OVERLAND ROUTES AS.

WELL. WE ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN ALL. OF THEM. SECRETARY BESSENT IS DOING IT. WITH SANCTIONS. AND IRON GATE IS A MILITARY PLAN. USING COERCION AND THE THREAT OF. MILITARY FORCE. BUT LET'S FACE THE REALITY OF. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REGION. THOSE COUNTRIES ON THAT LIST. THERE AROUND IRAN HAVE BEEN. LIVING WITH THIS REGIME FOR. CLOSE TO 50 YEARS. THEY KNOW THEY ARE A PREDATOR. AND THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN. CAUSE DUE HARM TO THEM AS A. RESULT OF IT. SO THEY ARE LIKELY LYING TO US.

ABOUT EXERCISING SANCTIONS THAT. WE'RE ASKING THEM TO DO AND AT. THE SAME TIME EITHER PASSING. THROUGH OR ACTUALLY TREADING. THEMSELVES WITH IRAN BECAUSE. LET'S FACE IT, THEY DON'T KNOW. WHAT THE-OUT COME IS GOING TO. BE. IF THE REGIME STANDS AND IS. STILL EXERCISING POWER OVER THE. NEXT FEW YEARS, THEY DON'T WANT. TO BE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THAT. SO THAT IS THE CHALLENGE OF WHAT. IS TAKING PLACE. THAT DOESN'T GET SHUT DOWN UNTIL.

WE USE MILITARY FORCE TO TAKE. OUT ALL THE BRIDGES, ALL THE. OVERLAND SITES AND DO SOMETHING. ABOUT THE CASPIAN SEA. THEN WE HAVE TRULY ISOLATED IRAN. COMPLETELY. THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ, CASPIAN. SEA AND THE OVERLAND ROUTES. OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE PLANS TO DO. ALL OF THAT AND THERE ARE. OPTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. WE MAY BE ON A PATHWAY TO DOING. SOME OF THAT IN THE NEAR TERM. >> Dana: VERY INTERESTING. I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WERE 25. BORDER CROSSINGS ALL AROUND.

THAT'S A LOT. WE APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US SOME. UNDERSTANDING.
