>> Ainsley: IN THE MIDDLE EAST. U.S. FORCES DELIVERING POWERFUL. RESPONSE TO THE LATEST ACT OF. IRANIAN AGGRESSION, MILITARY. TAKING OUT FIVE OIL TANKERS IN. RESPONSE TO ATTACK ON WARSHIPS. STEVE HARRIGAN HAS THE LATEST. >> Steve: IRANIAN FORCES. CONTINUE TO TRY AND FAIL TO TAKE. OUT U.S. MILITARY SHIPS IN THE. REGION AND THEY ARE PAYING A.

HEAVY PRICE FOR DOING SO, CENTCOM POSTED NO U.S. NAVY. WARSHIP HAS BEEN STRUCK. ALL IRGC ATTEMPTS FACILITIED. U.S. FORCES DESTROYED 10 IRANIAN. TANKERS IN THE LAST WEEK, PART. OF A SHADOW NETWORK THAT FUNDS. THE IRGC AND IRAN CANNOT DEFEND. THEM. AFTER THE U.S. DESTROYED FIVE. IRANIAN TANKERS, IRAN TRIED TO. HIT U.S. FORCES INSIDE JORDAN.

LAUNCHING A BALLISTIC MISSILE. ATTACK, JORDAN SAYS 18 MISSILE. SAYS WERE INTERCEPTED AND FELL. THE U.S. BLOCKADE OF ALL IRANIAN. PORTS CONTINUE. NO IRANIAN OIL HAS GOTTEN. THROUGH SINCE MID-JULY. BACK TO YOU. >> Ainsley: THANK YOU, STEVE. REPORTED STRIKES NEAR IRAN'S. LARGEST OIL TERMINAL IN KHARG. ISLAND MIGHT PROVE TO BE A. TIPPING POINT IN THE WAR AS KEY.

HUB PROCESSES 90% OF THE OIL. EXPORTS. 100 MILLION BARRELS PER YEAR. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR OIL. MARKET AND GAS PRICES? PHIL FLYNN, JOINS US NOW. WHAT COULD THIS MEAN FOR. AMERICA? >> HOPEFULLY THAT THE SPIKE IN. PRICES WHICH HIT HIGHEST LEVEL. SINCE THE WAR IS NEARING AN END. AND WE KNOW THIS IS STRATEGIC. FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN. THIS WAR BECAUSE WE BASICALLY.

HIT IRAN'S CASH REGISTER. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT KHARG. ISLAND, THIS IS WHERE THEY GET. THEIR MONEY, SO NOT ONLY IS THIS. SENDING A MESSAGE TO THEM TO END. THE WAR QUICKLY, IT IS SHOWING. HOW THEY CAN'T RESPOND. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE IN IRAN, THEY ARE STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW. WHEN IT TAKES TWO MILLION REAL. TO GET $1, ECONOMIC PAIN IS. STARTING TO SQUEEZE THEM. >> Ainsley: THERE ARE REPORT. SAYS THAT THE IRGC HAS BEEN.

CALLED UP TO STOP UNREST IN. GROCERY STORES AND BANKS AND AN. ARTICLE IN THE "NEW YORK POST" A. MONTH AGO, AUGUST 6 TALKING. ABOUT IRANIANS STEALING BREAD. AND MEAT AND CHEESE AND BUTTER. AND CAKES AND REPORTS THIS WEEK. SOME EXPERTS DON'T THINK THE. REGIME WILL MAKE IT TO THE. MIDTERM. WE ARE THINKING THEY MIGHT HOLD. OUT UNTIL THE MIDTERM. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO LAST? >> I DOUBT IT, I'M AMAZED, THEY. HAVE LASTED THIS LONG, ONLY WAY.

IS BY BRUTE FORCE. WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN, THEY RISE. UP AND THEY KILL THEM. THAT IS THE SAD PART OF THE. STORY. TREASURY SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT. SAID THIS WILL END WHEN PEOPLE. RISING UP AGAINST THEIR OWN. PEOPLE SAY NO, WE'RE NOT GOING. TO KILL OUR OWN PEOPLE, IT IS. TIME FOR THE REGIME TO GO AND. THAT WILL BE LIKE THE FALL OF. THE BERLIN WALL AND HOPE THAT. WILL HAPPEN SOON. >> Ainsley: YOU ARE AN OIL. EXPERT AND TALKED ABOUT GAS. PRICES, LAST -- WILL THIS HELP.

US BECOME MORE ENERGY. INDEPENDENT? >> IT SURE HAS. WE ARE THE ENERGY SUPPLIER TO. THE WORLD RIGHT NOWS, WE'RE. KEEPING EUROPE'S LIGHTS ON, EXPORTING RECORD AMOUNT OF. DIESEL. THIS WILL BE TRANSFORMATIONAL, YOU WILL SEE THE END OF OPEC AS. WE KNOW IT. S THE UNITED STATES WILL BE MORE. POWERFUL THAN OPEC WITH. VENEZUELA AND YOU NAME IT. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IRAN, GETTING A PEACE DEAL WITH RUSSIA.

AND UKRAINE OR CEASEFIRE, THAT. WILL BRING DOWN DIESEL PRICES. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT IRAN, ATTACK ON RUSSIAN REFINERS IS. WHY GASES ARE SO HIGH. >> Ainsley: IF THE PRESIDENT IS. WATCHING RIGHT NOW, ANYTHING YOU. WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY? ADVICE FOR IRAN? >> KEEP UP THE PRESSURE, THEY. ARE GOING TO GIVE, HE'S DONE. AMAZING JOB, PEOPLE DON'T GIVE. HIM ENOUGH CREDIT FOR HOW HE'S. KEPT GASOLINE PRICES UNDER. CONTROL.

I KNOW THEY ARE HIGH, BUT PEOPLE. WERE SAYING WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. AT $10 OR $15 A GALLON AND NONE. OF THAT HAPPENED. WE ARE CLOSE TO PEAK, LET'S HOPE. I'M RIGHT AND I'M SURE THE. PRESID.
