Trump Tells Fox News the U.S. Is Getting Close to Ordering New Strikes Against Iranian Power Plants and Bridges

EXCERPT:

YINGST: “Now, interestingly, President Trump told me that he is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian power plants and bridges because he says the Iranians are tapping the United States along when it comes to the negotiating process. He says the bully of the Middle East is dead and he told me I may keep going when I asked him about a possible response to the Iranian missile fire that targeted U.S. forces in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan overnight. The president said they had a chance to sign a deal and survive, indicating again that he may order new strikes against the Iranian regime in response to their -- dragging their feet at the negotiating table. Again though the latest information that we got from President Trump about that helicopter that went down earlier this week, really a remarkable story. The president called it a miracle. This drone hits the Apache helicopter, lodges between the two pilots, it's on fire and there's a massive amount of heat coming out of the drone but it doesn't explode, and these pilots very quickly within seconds, because they're flying very low, take the helicopter down into the sea and then ultimately about two hours later according to U.S. Central Command they are rescued for the first time in U.S. military history by an unmanned sea drone. Again, the president ordering those strikes overnight to target Iranian radar systems and those air defense sites that the Iranians have tried to rebuild during the ceasefire. They weren't supposed to do that but the president said just a few percentages of that defensive capability they were able to rebuild, and President Trump says they took out about 55 percent of what they were even able to rebuild. But just a remarkable story about these U.S. pilots from the army that were able to survive this ordeal against an Iranian drone lodged into their helicopter, and again President Trump ordering those powerful strikes overnight to send a message to the Iranian regime that he is not done and if they are unwilling to make a deal, the president tells Fox News, he may keep going.”
