Trump issues FINAL WARNING to Iran: 'Last chance'

. >> Ainsley: REPUBLICANS SHOULD. WANT HER TO BE THE CANDIDATE. >> Lawrence: EXACTLY, WE DO. MEANWHILE TO THE MIDDLE EAST, PRESIDENT TRUMP TELLING IRAN. THIS IS THEIR LAST CHANCE TO. MAKE A DEAL BEFORE THE UNITED. STATES CARRIES OUT A FAR MORE. PUNISHING MILITARY OPERATION. >> Charlie: CHIEF FOREIGN. CORRESPONDENT TREY YINGST IS. LIVE IN TEL AVIV WITH THE. LATEST. GOOD MORNING, TRAY. >> Trey: HEY, GUYS, GOOD. MORNING. WHILE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. EXPLORES A DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION. WITH IRAN. THE IRGC IS CONTINUING ATTACKS. IN THE GULF. OVERNIGHT, A CARGO SHIP OFF THE. COAST OF OMAN WAS HIT WITH AN.

UNKNOWN PROJECTILE ACCORDING TO. MARITIME TRACKING GROUPS. THE INCIDENT COMES AS THE U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE REMAINS IN. EFFECT, CENTCOM SAYS THAT AS OF. AUGUST 3RD, THEY HAVE REDIRECTED. 44 COMMERCIAL VESSELS AND. DISABLED TWO OTHERS. YOUR REQUEST TO ALTER COURSE TO. 190. IF YOU DO NOT COMPLY WE WILL. COMPLIANCE WITH FORCE. THIS IS 45. WE WILL MONITOR YOUR COURSE FOR. COMPLIANCE AT THIS TIME. WARSHIP 45 STANDING BY ON 160.

>> Trey: PRESIDENT TRUMP POSTED. TO TRUTH SOCIAL ON MONDAY. NOTHING GETS THROUGH IRAN UNLESS. WE WANT IT TO. NOTHING WILL GET THROUGH UNLESS. A DEAL OR TOTAL SURRENDER IS. ACCOMPLISHED. WHETHER IRAN WANTS TO ADMIT IT. OR NOT WE ARE TALKING A SOLUTION. TO A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE. CAUSED. THE PRESIDENT DESCRIBED THE. STATE OF IRAN YESTERDAY IN THE. OVAL OFFICE. >> MR. PRESIDENT, ARE THE TALKS. WITH IRAN NOW OFF AND ARE. STRIKES BACK ON. >> THEY ARE ON. THEY ARE GOING ON RIGHT NOW. IT'S AN MAYING THING WE HAVE A.

LITTLE PROBLEM WITH IRAN. WE HAVE MANY THAT YOU CANS THAT. WE SAY WE HAVE OR DON'T HAVE. BUT THEY DENY. BUT THEY ARE NOT DENYING IT NOW. THIS IS THEIR LAST CHANCE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT. DOESN'T HAPPEN. THIS IS A LAST CHANCE FOR THEM. TO SIGN A GOOD DOCUMENT. >> REPORTS INDICATE IRAN AND. OMAN ARE NEARING A DEAL. REGARDING CONTROL OF THE STRAIT. OF HORMUZ AND SPLITTING SERVICE. FEES BETWEEN THEM. IT'S NOT CLEAR IF THE TERMS. WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS MAN.

TAKENNED ZERO FEES SHOULD BE. CHARGED IN THIS INTERNATIONAL. WATERWAY THERE ARE UNCERTAIN. DAYS AHEAD IN THE REGION. AS THE MIDDLE EAST WAITS TO SEE. IF A DEAL WILL BE REACHED OR. WILL SEE A RETURN TO WAR. GUYS? >> Lawrence: TRAY, REAL QUICKLY, THE PRESIDENT TALKED ABOUT THE. MILITARY OPERATION THAT WAS. LEAKED OVER THE WEEKEND. IT'S OBVIOUSLY THEY NEED TO. FIGURE OUT WHO IS LEAKING FROM. THE WHITE HOUSE THAT HAS TO BE. SOMEONE HIGH WITHIN GOVERNMENT. THAT PUT THAT OUT THERE TO. SOURCES. IT'S OUR JOB AS THE PRESIDENT TO. COVER THAT BUT I'M CURIOUS FROM.

YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND YOUR. SOURCES. ARE THE -- THE STATE OF PLAY. PLAYED OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. AND WHO PHONED THE WHITE HOUSE. TO GET TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE? >> Trey: IT'S GREAT QUESTION. THESE LEAKS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A. SITUATION WITH 50,000 U.S. SERVICE MEMBERS DESTROYERS, REFUELERS, FIGHTER JETS ACROSS. THE REGION. THE OPERATIONAL SECURITY IS VERY.

SIGNIFICANT. WHENEVER THIS ARE PLANS BEING. MADE TO STRIKE IRAN. THE PRESIDENT INDICATED HE. CALLED OFF THE PLANNED STRIKES. AT THE REQUEST NOT ONLY OF IRAN. BUT ALSO GULF ALLIES LIKE SAUDI. ARABIA, QATAR AND THE UAE. WE SPOKE WITH SENIOR ISRAELI. INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS OVER THE. WEEKEND WHO SAID THEY WEREN'T. EVEN AWARE OF THE DETAILS OF THE. PLAN. THAT'S HOW CLOSE THE. ADMINISTRATION WAS HOLDING THESE. DETAILS TO THE CHEST BECAUSE OF. HOW SENSITIVE IT IS IN THE. REGION. SO, MOVING FORWARD, WE DO. ANTICIPATE THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION WILL DO.

EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ENSURE. THAT THEY'RE NOT GIVING IRAN A. HEADS UP. THEY WANT TO KEEP THE IRANIANS. GUESSING AS THESE DIPLOMATIC. PATHWAYS PLAY OUT UNDERSTANDING. IF THE TALKS FAIL WE ARE LIKELY. LOOKING AT RETURN TO COMBAT. OPERATIONS. >> Trey: OBVIOUSLY, TREY, WE ARE. SEEING THE WHITE HOUSE TRYING TO. KEEP THEIR CARDS CLOSE TO THE. VEST. BUT, THERE IS ALSO A TREMENDOUS. BUILD-UP, WE HAVE WATCHED A. TREMENDOUS BUILD UP OVER THE. LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT IS TRUMP TRYING TO. PUT PRESSURE ON IRAN. BUT, WHEN YOU COMPARE THE.

BUILDUP THAT WE HAVE SEEN OVER. THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS TO THE. BUILDUP WE HAD WHEN ALL OF THIS. BEGAN SIX MONTHS AGO, CAN YOU. COMPARE THE POSTURE? >> IT'S SLIGHTLY LARGER. THE PRESIDENT INDICATED THE. STRIKES THAT WERE PLANNED ARE. ACTUALLY LARGER AS WELL. HE DESCRIBED THEM AS THE LARGEST. SINCE WORLD WAR II. BUT, WHEN WE LOOK AT THE. EQUATION RIGHT NOW, THIS IS NOT. JUST AN EQUATION OF MILITARY. PRESSURE, THIS IS AN EQUATION OF. ECONOMIC DETERRENCE.

AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE. SEEN FROM THE TRUMP. ADMINISTRATION OVER THE PAST. SEVERAL WEEKS WHEN THE RUMTION. OF THE U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE. THIS BLOCKADE OF IRANIAN PORTS. IS COSTING THE IRANIAN REGIME. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. EACH AND EVERY DAY. AND IT'S PARTED OF THE REASON. THAT THE IRANIANS ARE LOOKING. FOR AN AGREEMENT. BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AS. THE U.S. MILITARY MAINTAINS. PRESENCE IN THE REGION, THEY. HAVE VERY FEW OPTIONS IN TERMS. OF AN OFF RAMP HERE. EITHER LOOKING AT. RETURN-TO-COMBAT OPERATION OR. SOME SORT OF AN AGREEMENT. A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT THAT.

WOULD ALLEVIATE THAT ECONOMIC. PRESSURE AND AVOID STRIKES. AGAINST THE REGIME. >> Ainsley: TREY, THANK YOU SO. MUCH, YOU SAID PART ONE IS TO. OPEN UP THE STRAIT WHI.
