00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:05.200
President Trump turning the tables on

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.640
Iran, making his own demands for

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:08.320
reparations. The commander-in-chief is

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.559
looking to make Thran pay for the

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:12.800
Americans killed or seriously wounded in

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.200
Iranian attacks. Chief for correspondent

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:16.880
Trey Yanks is live in Tel Aviv with the

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:18.880
latest. Hey, Trey.

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.320
>> Yeah. Hey, Brian. Good morning. Late

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:22.080
Monday, President Trump responded to

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.640
Iranian demands for compensation in

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.000
order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.760
They asked for uh money for the damage

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.040
that we've done. And I said, "That's a

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:34.320
good idea. Well, we're going to ask for

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.920
money for the damage they've done over a

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.000
50-year period, many thousands of

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.600
people, and maybe damages for the 52,000

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.440
protesters over the last four months

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:46.000
that were killed in Iran. So, now what

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.039
is it?" So, uh, if there's damages to be

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:50.640
paid, I think Iran should pay those

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.709
paid, I think Iran should pay those damages.

00:00:52.709 --> 00:00:52.719
damages.

00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.559
President Trump also posted on True

00:00:54.559 --> 00:00:56.399
Social in part saying, "But it is an

00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:58.160
interesting idea because now I am

00:00:58.160 --> 00:00:59.920
likewise demanding compensation from

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.680
Iran for all of the people that they

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:03.199
have killed and gravely wounded with

00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:05.360
their roadside bombs and many conflicts

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:07.119
for which they are famous, as led

00:01:07.119 --> 00:01:09.040
initially by General Solommani,

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:10.479
including the families of those killed

00:01:10.479 --> 00:01:12.799
on the USS Cole and thousands of others

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.880
killed in combat. The remarks come as

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:16.799
questions loom about the possibility of

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.720
a diplomatic solution to reopen the

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.960
strait. Currently, the US naval blockade

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:22.799
remains in effect, costing the regime

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:24.560
hundreds of millions of dollars each

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:26.880
day. Still, the Iranians remain defiant

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:31.119
as technical talks continue with Oman.

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:33.119
>> As long as the US naval blockade remains

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:35.200
in place under UN General Assembly

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.920
Resolution 3314, a naval blockade of

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.520
this kind amounts to an act of

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:41.280
aggression. As long as other US

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.200
violations continue, the necessary

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.960
conditions will not be in place for us

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:46.640
to say that the straight of Hormuz has

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.280
become a safe waterway.

00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.040
Maritime tracking groups say that an

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.640
incident was recorded this morning in

00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.960
the Gulf of Oman between a vessel and a

00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:56.960
military. Possible scentcom activity

00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:58.799
there. We're also following reports of a

00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.799
Houthi attack on a commercial vessel off

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.119
the coast of Yemen where three members

00:02:03.119 --> 00:02:05.200
of a crew were reportedly killed. Now,

00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.880
Brian, here in Israel, the military

00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:08.479
remains on high alert. There are

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.640
uncertain days ahead, and there's a real

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:12.080
understanding that if a diplomatic

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.000
solution isn't reached, we may be

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:15.520
looking at a scenario where there is a

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:18.640
return to combat operations. Brian.

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:20.720
>> Yep. And I can't imagine going back to

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:23.440
combat full boore without the IDF. Uh,

00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:27.080
thanks so much. appreciate.
