Trump sends 'REAL WARNING' to Iran, Oman

>> John: IRAN AND NEIGHBORING. OMAN SAY THEY ARE WORKING TO. REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AS. THEY CONTINUE TALKS ON THE. PERMANENT ARRANGEMENT TO GET. TRAFFIC FLOWING SAFELY. LET'S BRING IN RETIRED U.S. MARINE CORPS COLONEL MIKE. JERNIGAN. HERE IS THE WHAT THE OMANI. FOREIGN MINISTER SAID. THE PROPOSED FRAMEWORK INCLUDES.

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A JOINT. TEMPORARY NAVIGATIONAL CORRIDOR. THROUGH THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. THAT WOULD SEEM FINE. NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO. SIDES WOULD CONTINUE WITH A VIEW. TO AGREEING ON A PERMANENT. NAVIGATIONAL CORRIDOR. THAT SEEMS OKAY. BUT THIS. "FUTURE ADMINISTRATION OF THE. STRAIT.". THAT'S WHERE WE GET INTO THIS. STICKY SIDE OF THINGS. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, JOHN. I AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT. I THINK THIS NEGOTIATION BETWEEN. IRAN AND OMAN REGARDING THE.

STRAITS OF HORMUZ REMINDS ME OF. SHAKESPEARE'S PLAY MUCH ADO. ABOUT NOTHING. HERE'S WHY I SAY THAT. WHEN WE ALL STARTED THIS THERE. WERE 1600 SHIPS INSIDE THE. STRAITS OF HORMUZ. SOME GOT OUT IN THE BREAKS THAT. WE GAVE THE IRANIANS AT THE. NEGOTIATION TABLE BUT MANY HAVE. BEEN E ESCORTED OUT BY THE. UNITED STATES NAVY. FIVE TO SEVEN SHIPS A DAY ARE. STILL GETTING OUT OF THE STRAITS. OF HORMUZ. THEY ARE HUGGING THE COAST OF. OMAN ESCORTED BY THE. UNITED STATES NAVY AND THE ONES. THAT ARE REMAINING COME ABOUT. 200, I BELIEVE ARE THE IRANIAN.

SHIPS AND SO THE IRANIANS ARE. TRYING TO GET THEIR OWN STUFF. OUT BY SNEAKING THEM OUT THROUGH. THE CORRIDOR NEAR OMAN. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MERIT. TO THESE NEGOTIATIONS AND I. DON'T THINK ANYTHING WILL COME. OF IT. >> John: TRUMP DID TWO OR. THREE TIMES ISSUE A WARNING TO. OMAN MOST RECENTLY. AUGUST 17 HE TOLD TREY YINGST. "IF OMAN GETS IN THE WAY, WE'LL. BOMB THE... S IS SOMETHING OUT OF THEM.". OMAN IS A CLOSE U.S. ALLY BUT. CLEARLY THIS IS A VERY STRONG.

BRUSHBACK PITCH ON THE PART OF. THE PRESIDENT. >> I DO THINK HE IS REMINDING. OMAN. OMAN LIVES IN A DANGEROUS. NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY HAVE A WOLF AS THEIR. NEIGHBOR AND THEY HAVE STRAW. HOUSES. SO I BELIEVE THE OMANIS ARE JUST. TRYING TO EXTEND THIS ALONG AND. NOT OVERLY IRRITATE THE IRANIANS. ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM ATTACK THEM. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY. UNDERSTAND WHERE THEIR MONEY. COMES FROM A AND THEY UNDERSTAND. WHO THE LARGEST CONSUMER IN THE. WORLD IS AND THEY UNDERSTAND WHO. HAS THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL. MILITARY AND MOST POWERFUL. ECONOMICS SO I BELIEVE OMAN IS.

JUST KIND OF PLAYING THE. IRANIANS GAME OF LET'S STRETCH. THIS ALONG AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BECAUSE WHILE WE ARE IN THIS. PERIOD OF NOTHING HAPPENING. >> John: AS LONG AS NOBODY IS. SHOOTING AT ANYBODY, THERE ARE. SOME REPORTS OF SOME SHIPS BEING. ATTACKED BUT BACK TO YOUR POINT. ABOUT WHO CONTROLS THE. STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND WHOSE SHIPS. ARE GETTING THROUGH AND WHOSE. AREN'T. PRESIDENT TRUMP PUT THIS OUT. YESTERDAY. "I'VE BEEN INFORMED BY THE. U.S. NAVY BUT THAT ALL MINES. HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND ARE. DETONATED FROM THE INTERNATIONAL. WATERS OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IRAN HAS BEEN NOTIFIED THAT ANY.

SHIP PROPOSED PLACING NEW MINES. WILL IMMEDIATELY AND. SYSTEMATICALLY BE DESTROYED.". U.S. MILITARY, U.S. NAVY TOOK. OUT A LOT OF SMALL FAST BOATS. THAT IRAN HAD. THIS IS A REAL WARNING TO THE. REGIME AND THE IRGC. TRY TO PLAY AROUND HERE. YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHACKED. REALLY HARD. >> ABSOLUTELY. I AGREE WITH YOUR ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE DESTROYED 159 SHIPS OF. THEIR OCEAN GOING NAVY. WE HAVE DESTROYED COUNTLESS. THOUSANDS OF THEIR SMALL BOATS.

CAPABLE OF LAYING MINES AND. ATTACKING SHIPS. MORE IMPORTANTLY WE HAVE DAMAGED. AND DESTROYED THOSE PIERS AND. PORTS AND WHARVES AND WAREHOUSES. WHERE ALL THOSE BOATS AND. CAPABILITIES LAUNCHED FROM. WHAT YOU ARE SEEING NOW COME. EVERY TWO WEEKS MAYBE THE. IRANIANS WILL SHOOT A DRONE. THAT COULD LAUNCH FROM 400 MILES. AWAY AND BE STEERED INTO A SHIP. AS IT'S EXITING THE STRAITS OF. HORMUZ AS A FINAL ACT OF. DEFIANCE. THERE AREN'T ANY SIGNIFICANT. ATTACKS THAT THREATEN ANYTHING. >> John: THE ECONOMIC. STRANGLEHOLD THE TREASURY.

DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED THE OTHER. DAY ON IRAN SEEMS TO BE HAVING. AN E EFFECT. PICTURES OF LONG, LONG GAS LINES. IN TEHRAN. YOU'VE GOT A COUNTRY THAT'S JUST. LITERALLY FLOATING IN OIL AND. YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE LINING UP FOR. GAS. REMEMBER BACK IN JANUARY WE HAD. ECONOMIC DEMONSTRATIONS THAT. WERE VIOLENTLY PUT DOWN BY THE. IRGC. OTHER FACTIONS. YOU'VE GOT TO WONDER IF THERE. WERE TO BE MORE ECONOMIC. PROTESTS COME A RISE UP AT THIS. POINT, WHEN THE IRGC, THE. BESIEGED TO A LARGE DEGREE ARE.

NOT GETTING PAID, MIKE THE. OUTCOME BE DIFFERENT? >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE ARE. ALL KIND OF WATCHING INSIDE AND. OUTSIDE IRAN. THE SANCTIONS THE TREASURY. DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY. ARE REALLY SIGNIFICANT. THEY ARE STRIKING AFTER OUR. CRYPTOCURRENCY, GOLD, SHIPPING, TECHNOLOGY AND AVIATION. THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT PEOPLE. IN COUNTRIES INVESTED IN. BUT I'M REMINDED OF 1969 WHEN.

THEY SAID YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET. WHAT YOU WANT. IRAN IS GETTING A WHOLE LOT OF. WHAT THEY DON'T WANT. >> John: NOBODY BROUGHT IT. UPON T.
