1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,200 President Trump turning the tables on 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,640 Iran, making his own demands for 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,320 reparations. The commander-in-chief is 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,559 looking to make Thran pay for the 5 00:00:10,559 --> 00:00:12,800 Americans killed or seriously wounded in 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,200 Iranian attacks. Chief for correspondent 7 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:16,880 Trey Yanks is live in Tel Aviv with the 8 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,880 latest. Hey, Trey. 9 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,320 >> Yeah. Hey, Brian. Good morning. Late 10 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,080 Monday, President Trump responded to 11 00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:24,640 Iranian demands for compensation in 12 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,000 order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 13 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,760 They asked for uh money for the damage 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,040 that we've done. And I said, "That's a 15 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,320 good idea. Well, we're going to ask for 16 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,920 money for the damage they've done over a 17 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,000 50-year period, many thousands of 18 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,600 people, and maybe damages for the 52,000 19 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,440 protesters over the last four months 20 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,000 that were killed in Iran. So, now what 21 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,039 is it?" So, uh, if there's damages to be 22 00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:50,640 paid, I think Iran should pay those 23 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,709 paid, I think Iran should pay those damages. 24 00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:52,719 damages. 25 00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:54,559 President Trump also posted on True 26 00:00:54,559 --> 00:00:56,399 Social in part saying, "But it is an 27 00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:58,160 interesting idea because now I am 28 00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,920 likewise demanding compensation from 29 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,680 Iran for all of the people that they 30 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,199 have killed and gravely wounded with 31 00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:05,360 their roadside bombs and many conflicts 32 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,119 for which they are famous, as led 33 00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:09,040 initially by General Solommani, 34 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,479 including the families of those killed 35 00:01:10,479 --> 00:01:12,799 on the USS Cole and thousands of others 36 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,880 killed in combat. The remarks come as 37 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,799 questions loom about the possibility of 38 00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,720 a diplomatic solution to reopen the 39 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,960 strait. Currently, the US naval blockade 40 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,799 remains in effect, costing the regime 41 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:24,560 hundreds of millions of dollars each 42 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,880 day. Still, the Iranians remain defiant 43 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,119 as technical talks continue with Oman. 44 00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:33,119 >> As long as the US naval blockade remains 45 00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:35,200 in place under UN General Assembly 46 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920 Resolution 3314, a naval blockade of 47 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,520 this kind amounts to an act of 48 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,280 aggression. As long as other US 49 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,200 violations continue, the necessary 50 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,960 conditions will not be in place for us 51 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,640 to say that the straight of Hormuz has 52 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,280 become a safe waterway. 53 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,040 Maritime tracking groups say that an 54 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,640 incident was recorded this morning in 55 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,960 the Gulf of Oman between a vessel and a 56 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,960 military. Possible scentcom activity 57 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,799 there. We're also following reports of a 58 00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:00,799 Houthi attack on a commercial vessel off 59 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:03,119 the coast of Yemen where three members 60 00:02:03,119 --> 00:02:05,200 of a crew were reportedly killed. Now, 61 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,880 Brian, here in Israel, the military 62 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,479 remains on high alert. There are 63 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:10,640 uncertain days ahead, and there's a real 64 00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:12,080 understanding that if a diplomatic 65 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,000 solution isn't reached, we may be 66 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,520 looking at a scenario where there is a 67 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,640 return to combat operations. Brian. 68 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,720 >> Yep. And I can't imagine going back to 69 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,440 combat full boore without the IDF. Uh, 70 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,080 thanks so much. appreciate.
