00:01Fox News alert. The ships had better get moving in Strait of Hormuz.
00:06The U.S.-Iran two-week ceasefire hinges on that narrow waterway where oil ships must make it through.
00:14Weeks of U.S. and Israeli airstrikes have massive...
00:17There is something very breaking news right here. What?
00:20...weakened Iran's military. However, the question...
00:24What?
00:24Will it be the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, their military, to decide which ships go through Hormuz?
00:30We are watching very closely.
00:32Very closely, okay.
00:33I'm Harris Faulkner. You are in the Faulkner Focus.
00:35Look, Iran's military is the one who's capturing the whole Strait of Hormuz. Yes, whole.
00:44Iran said, I want no one, no America is there. I want full control, total control of the Strait of
00:51Hormuz.
00:51Secretary of War, Pete Hexeth, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff gave an update a short time
00:58ago. Let's watch.
00:59This morning, a big day for world peace.
01:03We have a chance at real peace and a real deal.
01:06The War Department, for now, for now, has done its part.
01:11We stand ready in the background to ensure Iran upholds...
01:15This is live from the Pentagon, okay? The Secretary of War, Pete Hexeth.
01:19Every reasonable term, and as everyone knows, nobody makes a better deal than President Trump.
01:26We welcome the ongoing ceasefire, and as the Secretary said, we hope that Iran chooses...
01:32So he is the Pentagon's General Dan Raisin Kain, Joint Chief of Staff Chairman.
01:38Look how many badges he got. He's a big person.
01:40It's a lasting peace.
01:41But as Secretary Hexeth said, let us be clear, a ceasefire is a pause,
01:45and the Joint Force remains ready, if ordered or called upon, to resume combat operations
01:52with the same speed and precision as we've demonstrated over the last 38 days,
01:58and we hope that that is not the case.
02:00You heard the words there.
02:02We must remember that a ceasefire is just a pause.
02:06Everything's still on the table, potentially.
02:08The deal comes after a threat...
02:11This is the main big thing happening, U.T.
02:14There's a threat Trump did, and it was a...
02:16...by the president that had some people up in arms.
02:19Congressman Dan Crenshaw summed it up this way in a post.
02:23A lot of pearl-clutching from the usual suspects online and cable news about ending civilization.
02:28Take a breath.
02:30Do some critical thinking and pretend like we actually know how President Trump communicates.
02:36Should he be taken literally?
02:38Damn, he is just, like, poking the President Donald Trump.
02:42You really believe he's going to vaporize the Persian population?
02:46Really?
02:47Have you been paying attention the last 11 years?
02:51Messages on state television called for Iranian citizens...
02:54Oh, wait a minute.
02:55Look here, Beirut.
02:56Look at the Beirut right here.
02:57This is live, monitoring Beirut.
02:59Beirut, Lebanon.
03:01There's an attack on that.
03:03...chains around key power sites...
03:05This is Iran.
03:06...to act as human shields in case of strikes on those power plants.
03:09This is bridge.
03:10This is power plants.
03:11Those shields were mostly made up of young people, women, and children.
03:15Yes, young people, women, and children.
03:18Not men, not older men.
03:20Young people, women, and children are making human shields.
03:23Look, they are just, like, standing right here.
03:26Some notes on there, leave to, leave, what is this, I don't know, wrong English they have.
03:33This is Iranian flag and all.
03:34Reminder of how little the brutal regime cares for its own people.
03:38And it's a striking contrast to the images from January.
03:42If those same people were involved in the fierce anti-regime protesting,
03:46their own leaders would likely have shot them dead.
03:49Damn.
03:50...publicly executed them.
03:52Iran has carried out a string of recent...
03:55...Iranians executed by the regime in recent days.
03:58Damn.
03:59These are 18, 19, 22 years old boys.
04:04Oh my God.
04:05...executions on alleged protesters.
04:07Even in the days and hours leading up to the ceasefire,
04:11we were covering it coming out of this week.
04:13Look at them, look at them.
04:14So young.
04:15...Rajim has killed more than 40,000.
04:1840,000!
04:20Rajim killed 40,000.
04:22...in connection with the unrest.
04:24Former Central Command Naval Forces Commander, Vice Admiral John Fozzie Miller
04:29is coming up in focus.
04:31We are so glad to have him.
04:33Hi.
04:33We begin with Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yinkst on the ground.
04:36Tel Aviv, Israel.
04:40Harris, good morning.
04:41We start with breaking news.
04:42State media reports that Iran has halted the pandemic.
04:45...passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz
04:48after Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon.
04:52Earlier today, we know two vessels were able to go through this passageway.
04:56But again, state media...
04:57These two vessels, okay.
04:58Okay, Strait of Hormuz it is, yes.
05:00It's full of the...
05:01You see, it's full of the rocks, mountains.
05:04...is reporting that the Iranians are choking off the strait.
05:07I just got off the phone with a senior Israeli official...
05:10...who was sounding the alarm about this action by the Iranians,
05:14saying only just a few hours into this ceasefire,
05:17the Iranians are already showing that they are trying to leverage their control
05:20over the strait and put pressure on global energy trade.
05:24And it also comes after reports overnight indicate that an Iranian attack
05:28hit Saudi Arabia...
05:30Oh, damn.
05:30Iran attacked Saudi Arabia out of nowhere after the ceasefire.
05:34Damn.
05:35...pipeline, and there was significant damage that was currently being assessed.
05:40This is important because this pipeline is the only outlet for Saudi crude exports.
05:45And as the Iranians are putting pressure on the strait,
05:48they once again are trying to leverage this ability
05:51to put pressure on global energy exports.
05:54It comes after we got a new statement from President Trump this morning
05:57about Iran's nuclear program.
05:59...the president on true social said the United States
06:02will work closely with Iran,
06:04which we have determined has gone through what they
06:06will be a very productive regime change.
06:08Oh, okay.
06:08There will be no enrichment...
06:09Okay, okay, okay.
06:11Trump is saying something for the nuclear purposes.
06:14...of uranium and the United States will,
06:16working with Iran, dig up and remove
06:17all of the deeply buried nuclear dust.
06:20The president...
06:20B2 bombers.
06:21B2 bombers, he said.
06:23Okay.
06:24...to Iran's enriched uranium there.
06:26And again, a lot of moving parts with this agreement
06:29that is very new.
06:30We saw over...
06:31What happened to Lavan Island, Iran?
06:33What happened?
06:34...new strikes against Iranian oil infrastructure
06:37on Lavan Island.
06:39This is just off the coast of Iran.
06:41A refining radar is reportedly hit
06:43in early morning attacks.
06:45We don't know which country is responsible
06:47for the strikes, but...
06:48Damn, which country strikes Iran?
06:50This is bad for the ceasefire.
06:52This is very bad.
06:53America has to stop those other countries
06:57like Israel and all.
06:58We do know...
06:59...it comes after the Iranians broke the ceasefire
07:02hours after President Trump announced it,
07:04launching missiles and drones at regional countries...
07:07Iran broke the ceasefire?
07:09...US ally Israel.
07:11Here's what it looked like in the skies of Tel Aviv
07:13just two hours after the ceasefire went into effect.
07:16This is Iran.
07:17We have Tel Aviv right now.
07:18Look at Tel Aviv.
07:20It's cluster bombs.
07:21These are cluster bombs.
07:24Sirens.
07:24You see the sirens wailing?
07:26These are cluster bombs.
07:27One bomb becomes 50.
07:28What you just saw there was an Iranian ballistic missile
07:31with a cluster warhead...
07:32You see, he is just wearing this protective sealed gear.
07:37Those bomblets raining down
07:38on Israel's second largest city of Tel Aviv.
07:41This came after the ceasefire was announced
07:44by President Trump
07:45and an indication that it will take time
07:47to get this agreement in place.
07:51Damn.
07:52We're looking at a number of different fronts here
07:54and the Israelis are preparing
07:55for the possibility of more...
07:56Is the cold there in Israel?
07:58You are wearing a jacket, man.
08:00Coming fire.
08:00But I do want to bring up
08:01this post by Israeli Prime Minister
08:03Benjamin Netanyahu.
08:04Okay, which is...
08:05Overnight who agreed with President Trump
08:06about this ceasefire with Iran.
08:08The Prime Minister said in part,
08:11quote,
08:11Israel also supports the US effort
08:13to ensure that Iran no longer poses
08:15a nuclear missile and terror threat
08:17to America, Israel, Iran's Arab neighbors
08:19and the world.
08:20The two-week ceasefire
08:21does not include Lebanon.
08:24Now, we heard from the President
08:25through reports earlier today...
08:26Not include Lebanon.
08:27...who agreed with the Prime Minister.
08:28Hezbollah and Israel are expected
08:29to exchange blows.
08:31He said non-include Lebanon.
08:31What you are looking at here
08:32is the Iranian capital of Tehran.
08:34What is happening?
08:36Wait, wait a minute.
08:37He said non-include Lebanon.
08:38But in a 10 points,
08:40Iran said Lebanon
08:41is the one part of
08:43where you do not put your...
08:45...demonstrators took to the streets.
08:46They chanted death to America
08:47and death to Israel.
08:48They were chanting victory
08:49and burning American flags.
08:51It gives you a sense...
08:52...with the Israel flag.
08:54They are burning it.
08:55...in the Iranian capital.
08:56And when we go out here
08:57to this image
08:57of the Lebanese capital of Beirut,
08:59we may even have some live images
09:01for you here.
09:02You see...
09:02...smoke was rising from the horizon
09:03of southern Beirut,
09:05the Dakhya neighborhood
09:05earlier today.
09:06This is from the Beirut line.
09:07Well, the ceasefire is in place
09:08between Israel...
09:09Beirut is in Lebanon
09:10and Lebanon is under attack.
09:12I don't know from whom?
09:14Who's attacking Lebanon?
09:16Israel, the United States
09:17and Iran.
09:18The Israelis launched
09:19what they are calling
09:20the largest round of strikes
09:22since their operation began.
09:24More than 100 different targets
09:25hit across Lebanon.
09:27There are first responders
09:28there on the scene.
09:29Okay, so Lebanon is hit
09:30by Israel.
09:32Israel is attacking
09:33the Lebanon.
09:34No way.
09:43Where are Hezbollah?
09:44They are doing this.
09:46...dozens of people
09:46were wounded,
09:47many killed
09:48in the strikes that took place
09:49and the Iranians once again
09:51through state media
09:52are threatening
09:52direct retaliation
09:54against Israel
09:55for this strike
09:56against their largest proxy
09:57in the region.
09:58Largest proxy.
09:59Okay.
10:00This is the least ceasefire
10:01like ceasefire.
10:02Oh.
10:03I think that anybody
10:04might have anticipated.
10:05Iran certainly doesn't see it
10:06that way.
10:06This is not a ceasefire
10:07word really for.
10:09Ceasefire means
10:10seize the fire.
10:11No, one bullet
10:13will be fired.
10:14One bullet.
10:15I'm not talking about missiles.
10:17Missile is a big one.
10:18Bullet is a small one.
10:20Not a single bullet
10:21will be fired.
10:22And this is...
10:23This is damn.
10:25Obviously.
10:25Look, you had some breaking news
10:27and I want to push in on it.
10:28Was it overnight,
10:29you said,
10:30that Saudi Arabia's
10:31East-West oil pipeline,
10:33very critical
10:35movement of oil there,
10:36was hit by Iran?
10:38He's doing something.
10:38He's doing something
10:39in his mobile.
10:41He...
10:41What are you doing, man?
10:43Or after the ceasefire?
10:47We don't know the exact
10:48timing of that strike,
10:50but it's very significant
10:51because this is the main
10:52pipeline that Saudi Arabia
10:54uses to move oil.
10:56And when the...
10:56Who yell?
10:58Who yell?
10:58It's the only pipeline
10:59that they're able to use
11:00to get those exports
11:01out to the world.
11:02Something important here
11:03that we should note,
11:04it wasn't just Israel
11:05that came under attack
11:06after the ceasefire
11:07went into effect.
11:09This morning,
11:09there were dozens
11:10of drones launched
11:11at Kuwait
11:12from Iranian territory.
11:13the United Arab Emirates
11:15also came under
11:15an Iranian missile attack.
11:17There were reports
11:17of missiles toward
11:19Bahrain and Qatar.
11:20This is not a ceasefire, Iran.
11:22The Iranians don't appear
11:23very serious
11:24about this ceasefire agreement.
11:25As a world leader,
11:27we are
11:28the United States of America,
11:31the great country.
11:33We have to do something.
11:34We cannot just
11:35see it like this.
11:37Donald Trump,
11:38I have a request from you.
11:39Do something.
11:40Do something, man.
11:43The president
11:43has offered them
11:44a good faith opportunity,
11:46a window of two weeks
11:48to reach a broader agreement.
11:49What happened to Kuwait?
11:50We heard from the president
11:50before about Iran's nuclear program.
11:53Four palestics,
11:5442 drones.
11:56On energy infrastructure
11:57across the region,
11:58the number one priority
11:59for the Israeli military
12:01echelon and government
12:02is the enriched uranium.
12:04They understand
12:04that the Iranians
12:05were pursuing a nuclear weapon
12:06before,
12:07and they say
12:07that if that enriched uranium
12:08remains in the country,
12:10that in the future...
12:11This is World War III, man.
12:12They are making nuclear bombs.
12:15They said
12:15World War III
12:16will be fought
12:16by the robots,
12:17but no,
12:18this is what it is.
12:19It fought by the people,
12:21but from, like,
12:22nuclear powers.
12:23Damn,
12:24my head is so aching right now.
12:26What is happening
12:26in the world?
12:27Iran could be
12:27the new North Korea.
12:29Iran is the new North Korea.
12:30That's a lot to get to,
12:31and my first guest
12:32is perfect on all of it.
12:34Trey,
12:34thank you very much.
12:35and focus now,
12:36Vice Admiral
12:36John Fozzie Miller,
12:38former CITCOM
12:39Naval Forces Commander.
12:40Sir,
12:41it is great to have you.
12:42Let's start
12:43with the Strait of Hormuz
12:44and the ceasefire.
12:46And what it really looks like now
12:48that Iran can pick and choose
12:49who goes through there
12:50if they so see it.
12:52Okay,
12:52this is all we have.
12:53This is Beirut,
12:54this is the Naval Chief,
12:55this is the news reporter
12:57we have,
12:57and this is the Strait of Hormuz.
12:59Let's talk about it.
13:00At least that's how it looks.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Good morning, Harris.
13:05Thanks for having me.
13:06Any long-term solution
13:08to this conflict
13:09when it comes to
13:10the Strait of Hormuz
13:11has to result
13:12in the Strait of Hormuz
13:13being open and free
13:14for commercial traffic
13:16without interference
13:18from Iran
13:18or from any other nation.
13:20It's an international strait,
13:21and the ability of Hormuz
13:24to function
13:24as an international strait
13:26is only being impeded
13:28by the Iranian regime.
13:29And so until that stops,
13:30it's very difficult
13:31to see any long-term
13:32resolution of this crisis.
13:34So that's one thing.
13:36The other was what
13:37Trey Yinks was just
13:38describing right then.
13:39How Iran is continuing
13:41to threaten
13:42all of its neighbors.
13:43Oh, yes.
13:43How Iran can be this powerful?
13:45I never know this thing.
13:47How a small
13:49Persian Muslim
13:51terrorist
13:52country like Iran.
13:55Why Iran
13:56be so powerful
13:57like right now?
13:59Oh, wow.
14:00The list got longer.
14:02I knew about Kuwait
14:02and Israel overnight
14:03after the ceasefire,
14:05but the UAE,
14:05Bahrain, Qatar.
14:06Admiral,
14:07those countries
14:07can't just sit there
14:08and be patient
14:09for two weeks.
14:10They've got to fight.
14:11They've got to defend themselves.
14:13I mean, you know,
14:13they've got incoming now,
14:15so they've got to fight
14:16that off defensively.
14:17Incoming!
14:18That doesn't seem
14:18like a ceasefire.
14:21It is not ceasefire.
14:22It is not.
14:23I don't think
14:23it looks very much
14:24like a ceasefire
14:25anywhere you look.
14:26Same, I'm saying the same.
14:27Then we've stopped
14:28bombing in Iran.
14:30The Iranians
14:31haven't stopped.
14:32And, of course,
14:32the GCC countries
14:33that have taken
14:34the brunt of this
14:35over the last month
14:37are continuing
14:37to receive incoming fire.
14:39This is what it is.
14:39So, I think
14:40we'll get to a point
14:41very soon
14:42where the GCC
14:43can no longer wait
14:44to see what's going to happen
14:45and they're going to start
14:46to take matters
14:47into their own hands
14:48and defend themselves
14:49through offensive action
14:50on their part.
14:51How do you see
14:53actually what we're
14:54doing right now
14:55in terms of
14:56the capability
14:57that we've taken
14:58away from Iran?
14:59I mean, we haven't
14:59completely pulled
15:00out of that region.
15:02Should we?
15:02Do you anticipate
15:03that we would come?
15:04This is what we have
15:05in a 10 piece,
15:0710 points of the ceasefire.
15:09Iran said
15:09that I want
15:11all the American troops
15:12to be out of my reason.
15:14Yes, out of his reason.
15:17All American troops
15:18out of Iran.
15:19Do you want to pull back
15:20even more
15:20during the ceasefire
15:21to send a message
15:22or would you rather
15:23not see the U.S. do that?
15:27Well, I think
15:28we're going to continue
15:29to see a buildup of forces.
15:30We have forces on the way
15:32that haven't arrived yet
15:34and there's no reason
15:35to turn them around.
15:36So, we ought to be
15:37using this opportunity
15:38for the next couple of weeks
15:40to resupply,
15:41to bring more forces
15:42into the region
15:43so that we're ready
15:45at any point
15:46if the ceasefire breaks down
15:48or if we're unable
15:49to negotiate
15:50a long-term...
15:50We have a force there,
15:51right?
15:52Okay.
15:53Agreement that's acceptable.
15:55We can do the military
15:56full-time operation,
15:58the ground invasion
16:00right there in Iran
16:02and we capture them.
16:04We will kill
16:05the whole civilization.
16:06That's what Donald Trump said.
16:08Secretary of War,
16:09Pete Hegseth says
16:10because military strikes
16:11have killed
16:12so many leaders in Iran,
16:14there is a new regime
16:15in place.
16:16Let's watch.
16:17It's a new group
16:18of people
16:19who've seen
16:20the full capability
16:21of the United States
16:21military
16:22and has a new calculus
16:23about what it means
16:24to negotiate with us
16:26hence why they
16:27came to the table
16:28wanting a ceasefire
16:30and the shooting
16:31to stop.
16:31So, this new regime
16:32which the regime...
16:33My man, Pete,
16:35are you wearing
16:36toffle finger?
16:37...has been changed,
16:38has a different
16:39interaction with the U.S.
16:41Look, you know
16:42that part of the world
16:43well, Admiral...
16:44He said,
16:44that I killed
16:45the old regime leader
16:46and there's a new one
16:48so they better understand us
16:50and comply with us.
16:52Otherwise,
16:52the fate will be
16:53the same.
16:55...what does it mean
16:56when our secretary of war
16:57says there's a new group
16:58of people?
17:00Yes,
17:01what really does it mean?
17:02this new group of people
17:03are the same people
17:05that rounded up
17:06women and children
17:06yesterday
17:07to go stand on bridges
17:09and buy power plants.
17:10Damn, dude.
17:11Big, big announcement.
17:13...the regime folks
17:13that have been replaced
17:15are...
17:16if we have people
17:17that are any better
17:18in place now
17:19or that are any more
17:20trustworthy
17:20than what we've
17:21previously seen
17:22from the regime.
17:23...the good side of all...
17:25Okay, what is this?
17:25Notable Iranian leaders
17:27eliminated.
17:28They eliminated this
17:28leaders.
17:30...this is that,
17:31as you pointed out,
17:31I mean,
17:32we are in that
17:33ceasefire moment.
17:34Real quickly,
17:35how do you see
17:36this playing out
17:37if, in fact,
17:38what we saw overnight
17:39and continuing to see today
17:41continues from Iran?
17:42These are the main leaders
17:44that got eliminated
17:45in those ceasefires,
17:46you see.
17:49Well,
17:49I don't think
17:49the ceasefire continues
17:51very long
17:51if things continue
17:53as they have
17:53since the ceasefire
17:55announcement was made.
17:57But I think long-term,
17:58what we want to be able
17:59to make sure we do,
18:00and Iran's got
18:01an opportunity here
18:02to take a breath,
18:03take a step back,
18:04to let shipping
18:05in and out
18:06of the Strait of Hormuz,
18:07to stop attacking
18:08the GCC nation.
18:10You know what?
18:11You know what?
18:12Iran is earning
18:14almost
18:15$5 to $50 billion
18:17from the Strait of Hormuz
18:20if they let ships go.
18:22They have to pay a fee
18:23to pass the Strait of Hormuz.
18:26That's what he is doing.
18:28...and to prove
18:28that it's willing
18:29and able to negotiate
18:30in good faith.
18:31I haven't seen that yet,
18:33and until we see that,
18:34I have very little confidence
18:35that this ceasefire
18:36will hold
18:37or that it will lead
18:38to a permanent settlement.
18:39Well,
18:40and military talk,
18:41stay ready
18:41so you don't have
18:42to get ready
18:42is what we'll continue
18:43to do,
18:44it sounds like,
18:44from you.
