Trey Yingst: This is FAR from over

STUNT IS "FOX & FRIENDS" STARTS. RIGHT NOW. >> Lawrence: IRAN ATTACKING U.S. FORCES IN JORDAN WITH A SOURCE. TELLING FOX NEWS NEARLY ALL. INCOMING MISSILES HAVE BEEN. INTERCEPTED SO FAR. >> Ainsley: COULD THE ATTACK. COMES AFTER U.S. FORCES STRUCK. TEHRAN MISSILE LAUNCHER NOTICE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ. >> Brian: CHIEF FOREIGN. CORRESPONDENT TREY YINGST IS ALL. OVER IT IS HE IN TEL AVIV. HEY, TREY. >> HEY, GUYS, GOOD MORNING.

8 BALLISTIC MISSILES AT U.S. FORCES IN JORDAN. A U.S. SOURCE TELLS FOX NEWS NO. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTED AND THE. MAJORITY OF THE INCOMING FIRE. WAS INTERCEPTED. THE ATTACK CAME AFTER U.S. FORCES STRUCK LARK ISLAND AFTER. PREPARATIONS FOR IRGC ROCKET. LUNCH MEANT TO PLACE NEW SEA. MINES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. CENTCOM RELEASED A STATEMENT. U.S. FORCES TOOK LIMITED PRECISE. ACTION POSING IMMINENT THREAT IN. THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IN ESSENCE IRAN CREATED THE.

THREAT AND THE U.S. MILITARY. ELIMINATED IT TO PROTECTED. CIVILIAN MARINERS, COMMERCIAL. SHIPPING AND THE FREE FLOW OF. GLOBAL COMMERCE. >> THIS IS THE FIRST KNOWN U.S. STRIKE AGAINST IRAN SINCE LATE. JULY. IRANIAN PRESIDENT PEZESHKIAN. SPOKE TODAY ABOUT THE EXCHANGE. OF FIRE. >> WE DO NOT SEEK WAR. THAT HAS BEEN OUR MESSAGE TO THE. WAR UNTIL NOW; HOWEVER, IN THE. FACE OF AGGRESSION, WE WILL NOT. SET BY. WE ARE CAPABLE OF DELIVERING, INSTABILITY IN THIS REGION WOULD.

EFFECT EVERYONE AND CREATE. SERIOUS PROBLEMS. INSTABILITY IS NO COUNTRY'S. INTEREST. >> THE EVENT COMES AS U.S. INDICATES THE U.S. MAY RAMP UP. ECONOMIC PRESSURE AGAINST IRAN. FOLLOWING SANCTIONS LAST WEEK. IRANIAN OFFICIALS REACTED OVER. THE WEEKEND WITH IRAN'S SUPREME. LEADER KHAMENEI URGING MORE. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION AND LESS. RELIANCE ON THE U.S. DOLLAR. OVERNIGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD. FOX NEWS ABOUT THE OPERATION. AGAINST IRAN. >> THE BLOCK INDICATED HAS BEEN. UNBELIEVABLE.

THE FINANCIAL HITS THAT WE'RE. GIVING THEM, WE ARE HITTING THEM. VERY HARD. NOBODY HAS EVER BEEN HIT LIKE. THIS. AND THEY ARE A FAILING NATION. RIGHT NOW. AT THE RIGHT POINT WE WILL. EITHER WIN OR THEY WILL DO. SOMETHING, I DON'T MINE WINNING. JUST WINNING. I DON'T NEED A SIGNATURE ON. PEEVES PAPER. BUT WE'RE DOING VERY WELL. THEIR NAVY IS GONE. THEIR AIR FORCE IS GONE. THEIR LEADERS ARE GONE. THEIR -- ALL OF THEIR. ANTIAIRCRAFT. EXPWRT REGION NOW WAITS TO SEE. IF THE UNITED STATES WILL.

RESPOND TO THAT IRANIAN MISSILE. ATTACK AGAINST U.S. FORCES. OVERNIGHT. GUYS? >> Brian: HEY, TREY, SO THE WORD. IS THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE LAYING. MINES, THEY WERE, PROBABLY. AND THEY JUST CLEANED OUT THE. WHOLE AREA. SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET. THEM PUT MINES DOWN AGAIN. SO IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. DO YOU GET THE SENSE THAT THE. STRAIT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO. BUILD? I THINK IT'S AVERAGING 27 SHIPS. THERE A DAY AND I THINK WHEN. IT'S AT ITS BEST BETWEEN 100 TO.

115. DO YOU GET THE SENSE IT'S GOING. TO CONTINUE TODAY? >>. >> Trey: YES, ABSOLUTELY. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW WE. HEAR THESE STATEMENTS FROM. IRANIAN OFFICIALS IN TEHRAN, THEY SAY THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS. CLOSED. BUT THE U.S. NAVY IS OVERSEEING. VESSELS EACH AND EVERY NIGHT. WITH MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF. CRUDE OIL THAT ARE CURRENTLY. STUCK IN THE PERSIAN GULF OUT. THROUGH THIS SOUTHERN ROOT. OUT OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IT'S AN INDICATION THAT THE U.S. MILITARY HAS THE ABILITY TO. UNDERCUT IRANIAN EFFORTS TO. CLOSE THE STRAIT.

AND THEY ARE WATCHING CLOSELY IF. THE IRANIANS TRY REMAIN THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT TOOK PLACE. OVERNIGHT. THE IRANIANS HAVE THESE ROCKETS. AND THEY HAVE A DISTANCE, A. RANGE OF ABOUT 55 NAUTICAL. MILES. THEY CAN BE USED TO PLACE SEA. MINES. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE U.S. MILITARY WANTS TO AVOID BECAUSE. THEY WANT TO KEEP THIS CRITICAL. WATERWAY OPEN AND FLOWING SO. THAT MORE VESSELS CAN START TO. PASS THROUGH. THIS COUPLED WITH THE ONGOING. U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE IS PUTTING. PRESSURE ON THE IRANIAN REGIME.

AND EVEN FORCED IRANIAN. OFFICIALS OVER THE TWEAKED ADMIT. THIS ECONOMIC PRESSURE BUT ALSO. PEZESHKIAN SAID IN A INTERVIEW. WITH STATE MEDIA I DON'T KNOW. WHAT TO SAY TO PEOPLE THAT SAY. THAT SANCTIONS HAVE NO EFFECT ON. OUR COUNTRY. >> Ainsley: TREY, IRAN ATTACKING. U.S. FORCES STATIONED IN JORDAN. IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN FAMILY. AND HAVE A CHILD THAT IS. STATIONED IN JORDAN, THAT'S. PRETTY ALARMING. YOU SAID THE MAJORITY OF THE. MISSILES HAVE BEEN INTERCEPTED. SO FAR. THE ONES THAT WERE NOT.

INTERCEPTED. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THERE WERE. AND WHERE THEY HIT? >> SO WE DON'T HAVE EXACT. NUMBERS YET. BUT THE INDICATION IS THAT THE. IRANIANS TARGETED U.S. BASES IN. JORDAN. REMEMBER, EARLIER THIS YEAR, U.S. FORCES WERE KILLED IN THE. SIMILAR IRANIAN MISSILE ATTACK. THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS MISSILES. THAT THE IRANIANS ARE USING. THEY STILL HAVE SOME IN THEIR. ARSENAL. WE DO KNOW THAT THE U.S. HAS. SHIFTED A LOT OF THEIR AIR. DEFENSE TO THE THAD AND PATRIOT. SYSTEM TO PROTECT THESE AREAS. AND THE U.S. FORCES THAT ARE. THERE AND IN THE PAST, THE LAST.

TIME THAT THE IRANIANS WERE. SHOOT DOWN ATTACK ABLE TO SHOOT. DOWN THE MAJORITY OF THE. INCOMING MISSILES HAVE. TO SEE HOW MANY FIRED AND. INTERCEPTED. U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND INDICATED. THIS WAS A SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE OF. U.S. FORCES IN JORDAN. >> Lawrence: TREY, WE HEARD THE. STATEMENT FROM THE IRANIANS. ESSENTIALLY AS THEY ARE. ATTACKING THE NEIGHBORS IN THE. GULF THAT THEY WANT THEM TO BE. PARTNERS AGAINST. AND ON THE FACE OF IT, YOU LOOK. AT IT AND SAY THAT'S JUST. RIDICULOUS THAT YOU CAN'T ATTACK. PEOPLE AND EXPECT THEM TON.

FRIENDS. TO BE. FRIENDS. WE HEARD OF THE GULF STATES. POTENTIALLY DOING THEIR OWN. DEALS WITH IRAN. IS THERE ANY I GUESS, FACTS TO. THAT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. BEHIND THE SCENES? ARE THEY GOING TO BE IN LOCKSTEP. WITH THE UNITED STATES? >> Trey: THERE ARE INDICATION. TALKS CONTINUE WITH OMAN AND. IRAN ABOUT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS REJECTED. THESE TALKS, HE SAYS THE U.S. IS. IN CONTROL OF THE STRAIT, THEY. WILL DECIDE ULTIMATELY WHEN AND.

WHERE VESSELS ARE GETTING. THROUGH. THIS BACK AND FORTH THOUGH IS. INTERESTING. THE IRANIANS HAVE SAID THEY ARE. LOOKING FOR ALLIANCE IN THE GULF. COUNTRIES BUT LAUNCHING MISSILES. AND DRONES AT THESE COUNTRIES. OCCASIONALLY. WE SAW THIS OVERNIGHT. THE EMIRATES SAW THE IRAN DRONE. TARGETED UAE, SHOT DOWN. INDICATION THAT THE IRGC IS. WILLING TO ESCALATE IN THE. PERSIAN GULF AND NEAR TO THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ. WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE REALITY. ON THE GROUND. THE IRANIANS ARE STILL. THREATENING THIS CRITICAL. WATERWAY. THIS IS FAR FROM OVER. REMEMBER IN THE BACKDROP HERE, THERE IS THIS ONGOING U.S.

ECONOMIC PRESSURE THAT STARTING. TO HAVE A SERIOUS EFFECT ON THE. REGIME OFFICIALS IN TEHRAN. IT'S NOT JUST A PUBLIC STATEMENT. IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER AND THE. COUNTRY'S PRESIDENT OVER THE. WEEKEND. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER. TODAY, THE AMERICAN RIELLE HIT. 2.1 MILLION RETOLL U.S. DOLLAR. HISTORIC DOLLAR. INDICATION THE CURRENCY IS. WEAKENING. THEY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO. EXPORT CRUDE OIL, THIS WAS. MENTIONED YESTERDAY BY IRANIAN. PRESIDENT PEZESHKIAN THEY ARE. ECONOMICALLY ISOLATED. AND IF WE DO GET MORE SANCTIONS.

THIS WEEK. IT'S ANOTHER INDICATION OF THE. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS PUSHING. FORWARD WITH THIS ECONOMIC. OPERATION TO ISOLATE THE IRANIAN. REGIME AND TRY TO GET THEM TO. CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR. AGAIN, THERE IS A SPLINTER. WITHIN IRANIAN LEADERSHIP ABOUT. WHAT TO DO NEXT. IRANIAN PRESIDENT MASSOUD. PEZESHKIAN SAID EARLIER TODAYED. THAT THE COUNTRY DOESN'T SEEK. WAR THEY NEED TO GO IN TALKS. ABOUT THE UNITED STATES. IRGC OFFICIALS LAUNCHING. MISSILES TOWARDS U.S. FORCES IN. JORDAN. >> Brian: THANK YOU SO MUCH, TREY. FANTASTIC ANALYSIS. THE "NEW YORK TIMES" TODAY.

USUALLY THE FIRST FOUR STORIES. IRAN AGAINST U.S., THE "NEW YORK. TIMES" SAYS THE SQUEEZE ON GAS. PRICE HAS THE GOVERNMENT FEARING. FOR UNREST. THEY SAY THERE ARE GAS LINES AT. 3:00 IN THE MORNING NOW IN IRAN. 3:00 IN THE MORNING. SO NOW THE SUBSIDIES HAVE. STOPPED. THE GAS HAS STOPPED. THE JOBS NUMBERS ARE HORRENDOUS. THEY HAVE LOST SOMETHING LIKE. 3 MILLION JOBS SINCE THE. CONFLICT BEGAN. NOW YOU HEAR ABOUT HOW USELESS. AND WORTHLESS THEIR CURRENCY IS.

HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THEY TAKE. THIS? I HOPE AS TED CRUZ SAID. YESTERDAY, I HOPE THERE IS AN. OPERATION TO GET SOME GUNS TO. THESE PEOPLE SO THEY CAN TAKE. BACK THEIR COUNTRY. I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE MOSSAD. KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE THEIR ALLIES. ARE. IF THEY COULD START DOING THAT. AND LET THEM KNOW DEFECTORS HAVE. A PLACE TO GO AND MAYBE ARM. THOSE PEOPLE TO START TAKING OUT. THE SIEGE HAVE A WAY TO GET. THEIR COUNTRY BACK. >> Lawrence: TRIED ONCE THAT. DIDN'T GO TOO WELL.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN TRY THAT AGAIN. >> Ainsley: WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED. IN JANUARY REVOLTED A LOT OF. RESIDENTS WERE KILLED. SHOT IN THE BACK. AND WE KNOW WHAT IRAN IS CAPABLE. OF AND.
