Trump puts Iran on NOTICE as regime secures nuclear sites

WHITE HOUSE HAS NOT SAID WHEN. SHE WILL BE SERVING HER LAST DAY. OR WHO WILL REPLACE HER. >> Todd: TENSION IN MIDDLE EAST. WITH HOUTHIS AND SAUDI ARABIA. EXCHANGING STRIKES. PRESIDENT TRUMP GIVING WARNING. >> WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE. DO TO IRAN, WE WILL DO A NUMBER, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT WE DO TO. IRAN. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A. NUCLEAR WEAPON, THAT IS BURIED.

UNDER THOUSANDS OF TONS OF ROCK. [APPLAUSE]. >> Ashley: THE "WALL STREET. JOURNAL" REPORT IRAN IS. STRENGTHENING NUCLEAR SITES AND. RALLYING SUPPORTERS AHEAD OF A. RETURN TO FIGHTING. RETIRED NAVY SEAL MIKE SARRELLI. JOINS US NOW. I WANT YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS NEW. WARNING? >> IT IS SEVERE AND IRAN IS.

FORTIFYING PICK AX MOUNTAIN FOR. THISSEN RA. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID HE COULD. ATTACK AFTER THE MIDTERM. ELECTION. IRAN IS APPROACHING STRAIT OF. HORMUZ AS COST OF WAR. THEIR ONLY STRATEGIC NEGOTIATION. SHIP IS THEIR NUCLEAR PROGRAMS. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE FORTIFYING. THEIR POSITION, NOT RESTARTING. ENRICHMENT OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL. THEY ARE RALLYING THEIR.

POPULATION, IT IS MORE ABOUT. REGIME SURVIVAL THAN NATIONAL. DEFENSE AND THEY HAVE AN. OPPOSITION PROBLEM. THEY ARE DEPLOYING INTO SCHOOLS. AND DOING WEAPONS TRAINING, THAT. IS TO REDIRECT NARRATIVE FROM. DOMESTIC ECONOMIC FAILURE TO WE. HAVE ENEMY AT THE GATE. THAT IS A TIME-OLD TACTIC. THEY LONG OPPOSE THIS REGIME, IT. IS A GREAT SIGN THIS REGIME IS. IN DESPERATION. >> Ashley: WHAT WOULD THE NEXT.

ATTACK LOOK LIKE ON IRAN FROM. THE U.S. IN RELATION TO WHAT. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SAYING? >> MARITIME SECURITY IS STARTING. TO GO WELL, SEEING FLOW OF. ENERGY TRAFFIC INCREASE. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DISRUPT. THE STRAIT AND THAT IS BEING. HANDLED. I WOULD SEE PRESIDENT TRUMP. GOING AFTER NATANZ FOR THAT. REASON F. YOU REMOVE THAT. LEVERAGE, THEY HAVE LITTLE TO.

NEGOTIATE WITH AND THAT CHANGES. THE DIRECT ROUTE TOWARD ENDING. THIS WAR. >> Ashley: I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. SOMETHING ELSE, "WALL STREET. JOURNAL" SAYS IRAN IS PREPARING. FOR POSSIBLE U.S. ATTACK AFTER. THE MIDTERM. DO YOU THINK THIS MEANS ATTACKS. ON U.S. SOIL, MILITARY BASES IN. MIDDLE EAST OR COMBINATION OF. BOTH? >> IT IS A COMBINATION OF BOTH. WE'RE SEEING GREAT PROGRESS. COMING OUT OF U.K. AND U.K. PRIME MINISTER BERNHAM USING.

STRONG LANGUAGE THEY BELIEVE THE. IRGC MOST CERTAINLY DIRECTED. THESE ATTACKS ON THE RAF. WE WILL SEE ONE AND TWO OF OUR. ALLIES ENTER AND IT IS NOT A. WHITE KNIGHT DOING OFFENSIVE. OPERATION, IF THEY BECOME PART. OF SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND. ADD ASSETS AND PROTECT GULF. PARTNERS WE SEE A DIFFERENT. TRAJECTORY OF THIS WAR WITH OUR. ALLIES. >> Ashley: HOW DO YOU THINK THIS. IMPACTS THE MIDTERM WITH WHAT.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SAYING AND. ALSO IRAN? >> YEAH, DEFINITELY IT IS GOING. TO BE INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE. AND WE'LL SEE. I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE. TIRED OF WAR, THEY ARE DEALING. WITH ECONOMIC ISSUES, CONCERN OF. GAS PRICES, I HOPE THE. REPUBLICAN PARTY CAN PUL.
