Trey Yingst: There is NO END in sight

S. FOR NOW. ANXIOUSLY THROW IT BACK OVER TO. YOU. >> Ainsley: THANK YOU SO MUCH, ADAM. NOW TO THE MIDDLE EAST, PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALING RIGHT. NOW NO TALKS WITH IRANIAN AS THE. TWO SIDES ARE LOCKED IN A. STANDOFF OVER THE STRAIT OF. HORMUZ. OUR CHIEF FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. TREY YINGST JOINS US LIFE FROM. TEL AVIV WITH ALL THOSE DETAILS. GOOD MORNING TO YOU, TREY. >> Trey: HEY, AINSLEY, GOOD. MORNING. IRAN HAS CONTINUED TO LAUNCH NEW. ATTACKS, FIRING TWO MISSILES AT. THE UAE ON TUESDAY. THE EVENT TRIGGERED ALERTS. FORCING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE INTO. SHELTERS.

IN RESPONSE, THE FOREIGN. MINISTRY IN THE UAE, SAID THEY. ARE CUTTING OFF ALL TRADE WITH. IRAN IRAN DENIED THEY WERE RIDGE. FOR THAT MISSILE ATTACK. THIS DOES COME AS THE WAR OF. WORDS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES. AND IRAN ADVANCES WITH NO. INDICATION THAT A DEAL COULD BE. REACHED ANY TIME SOON. PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTED TO TRUTH. SOCIAL SAYING THAT ARE NO TALKS. OR CONVERSATIONS GOING ON OR. SCHEDULED WITH THE ISLAMIC. REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THE NAVAL BLOCKADE REMAINS IN. FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. THE HORMUZ STRAIT IS OPEN AND. OPERATING.

ALL WATER MINES HAVE BEEN. REMOVED OR DETONATED. A DAY PRIOR U.S. NEGOTIATOR. JARED KUSHNER TOLD FOX NEWS THAT. COMMUNICATIONS WITH IRAN WERE. STILL UNDERWAY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STATEMENT. BY PRESIDENT TRUMP ABOUT THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ, IRANIAN. OFFICIALS DENIED THE CRITICAL. WATERWAY IS OPEN THE IRANIANS. LAUNCHED ADDITIONAL ATTACKS ON. VESSELS THERE OVER THE WEEKEND. WITH IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER. SAYING THIS. IRAN'S FOREIGN POLICY IS A. CONTINUOUS PROCESS. EACH GOVERNMENT MAY MOVE IT. FORWARD THROUGH A SERIES OF. INITIATIVES. A DIFFERENT KIND OF DIALOGUE AND.

NEW INITIATIVE. OUR FOREIGN POLICY HAS A NUMBER. OF PRINCIPLES THAT EVERY. GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO ADVANCE. >> FINANCIAL TIMES REPORTS THAT. IRAN HAS WEIGHED HITTING U.S. TARGETS IN EUROPE IF THE WAR. ESCALATES AGAIN. THE REPORTS SPECIFICALLY NAMED. COUNTRIES SUCH AS CYPRESS AND. BULGARIA. THE IRANIANS ARE ABOUT TO. MISCALCULATE AND THEY HAVE DONE. IT BEFORE WITH THIS PRESIDENT. AND THEY BELIEVE THAT BE MORE. AGGRESSIVE, BEING MORE VIOLENT. CREATE THE IMAGE THAT THIS WAR. IS NOT WORKING RIGHT AND GOING.

TO CAUSE HIM POLITICAL DAMAGE, HE'S NOT GOING TO STAND FOR. THAT. >> STRIKES AND NO END IN SIGHT. AINSLEY? >> OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, TREY. THANKS, TREY. >> SO THE PRESIDENT, IT LOOKS. LIKE, AND IF YOU READ SOME. ARTICLES THIS MORNING, THERE IS. A NEW APPROACH TO DISENGAGE. TELLING HIS ENVOYS NOT TO. ENGAGE, NOT TO STOP THE. CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM BECAUSE. WE ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH SOME. TIMES. >> YEAH, THE PROBLEM HERE IS IN.

THE BACKDROP OF THIS, AND TREY'S. GREAT REPORTING THE "WALL STREET. JOURNAL" ARTICLE WE SAW SECRET. PLAN TOES CALCULATE THE WAR AS. IS HE REPORTING. IRAN JUST STRUCK THE UAE WITH. SOME MISSILES. THAT'S NOT A HUGE ESCALATION. WE HAVE SEEN THAT BUT, YET, WHEN. YOU HEAR PEOPLE LIKE GENERAL. JACK KEANE TALKING THE. SITUATION, IS HE PRETTY. CONVINCED THAT IRAN IS WATCHING. WHAT HAPPENS HERE IN THE U.S. PARTICULARLY THE MIDTERMS FAST. APPROACHING, JUST OVER 70 DAYS.

AWAY AND THAT THEY BELIEVE, THRAWRN IS MAKE THINGS HARDER. FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP IF THEY. ESCALATE. THAT'S A CONCERN WE COULD BE. FACING. >> Charlie: OF COURSE THE. MIDTERMS HAVE LOOMED OVER THIS. FROM THE BEGINNING. I THINK IN A LOT OF WAYS IRAN. HAS MISCALCULATED PRESIDENT. TRUMP'S RESOLVE IN THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE MOST PRESIDENTS WOULD. HAVE NEVER EMBARKED ON SOMETHING. LIKE THIS IN AN ELECTION YEAR. MOST POLITICIANS WOULD -- DON'T. DO ANYTHING IN THE YEAR BEFORE.

AN ELECTION, WHICH IS PROBABLY. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH. WASHINGTON BUT THEY HAVE. MISCALCULATED BADLY BECAUSE I. THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU KNOW, WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH HIM OR. DISAGREE WITH HIM. WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH THIS. OPERATION OR YOU DISAGREE WITH. IT, PRESIDENT TRUMP VIEWS THIS. AS A TRUE DIRE THREAT TO THE. UNITED STATES AS WELL AS ALLIES. IN EUROPE AND HE IS -- DOES NOT. CARED ABOUT POLITICAL. CONSEQUENCES AS MUCH AS HE CARES. ABOUT REMOVING THE NUCLEAR. THREAT THAT THESE IRANIAN.

DICTATORS POSED AS WELL AS ALL. OF THE MAYHEM THAT THEY STIR UP. IN THE MIDDLE EAST, WHETHER YOU. AGREE WITH IT OR NOT, PRESIDENT. TRUMP DOES BELIEVE THAT, AND THE. ELECTIONS WILL HAV.
