First, we turn it over to Trey Yinst in
Israel with the latest on the Iran war.
Trey,
>> Todd Carly, good morning. Operation Epic
Fury has now entered week five and the
United States continues to hammer the
Iranian regime. Overnight, President
Trump took to True Social to say, quote,
"Big day in Iran. Many long sought after targets have been taken out and
destroyed by our great military, the
finest and most lethal in the world. God
bless you all." The president's comments
come after a series of US and Israeli
strikes over the weekend that targeted
Iran's steel manufacturing sites and
nuclear development facilities. Reports
indicate the president is considering a
limited ground operation inside of Iran
following the arrival of the USS Tripoli
manned with 3,500 troops including 2500
Marines to the Sentcom area of
operation. The president was asked about
the status of military plans yesterday
saying this. We've had very good
negotiations today with Iran, getting a
lot of the things that they should have
given us a long time ago. We'll see how
it works out, but they're very good.
Moving along very nicely.
>> Are you considering still putting loots
on the ground and would you do that
without going to conf?
>> I just have lots of alternatives. We
have uh tremendous numbers of ships over
there. We don't need them all because
of, you know, the power. We're ahead of
schedule with Iran.
As the war grinds on, Iran is continuing
its ballistic missile attacks against
Israel, focusing attacks on southern
Israel in recent days. A chemical plant
outside the city of Bereva was hit with
a missile fragment yesterday, causing
toxic black smoke to spew from the
facility. The area around the plant was
evacuated. With these strikes ongoing, a
spokesperson for Iran's IRGC talked over
the weekend about the war and President
Trump.
>> Trump threatens an issue one morning and
retreats that same evening. He talks
about negotiations for a while and
decides to continue the war hours later.
>> What the Iranians don't understand is
that President Trump wants them to be
confused about the military plans for
the United States. We also have another
development to report this hour. The
Iranbacked Lebanese militant group
Hezbollah launched rockets over the
border a few minutes ago. A fragment
from one of those rockets hit the oil
refinery in the northern Israeli city of
Hifa, guys.
>> All right, Trey Yanks live for us in
Israel. Trey, thank you so much. Let's
bring in retired Navy Seal and host of
the Everyday Warrior podcast, Mike
Cerelli. Mike, thanks for joining us.
So, that is the question here. The
president says that he has a lot of
options when asked about ground troops
and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also
made comments this weekend saying that
we absolutely can achieve our objectives
without troops on the ground, but at the
same time, there is this military
buildup with the USS Tripoli in the
region right now. So, where do you think
things are going as we enter a new week
here?
Well, Carly, great to uh join you this
morning. You know, Trump is creating
leverage through optionality. And when
you send the Marines, that that that
becomes real consequences for our
adversaries, and he wants Tyrron to know
that. But, you know, this this looming
ground invasion, Iran wants us to think
Fallujah 2.0. I guarantee you the
Pentagon is thinking limited combat
operations, which is controlled violence
with a map while keeping an eye on the
clock. we will not get bogged down in
another Iraq style uh you know sort of
mission. And so this is not a a uh 2003
Iraq sort of road to Thrron uh march.
This is limited objectives. That's
either keyynotes, seizure of
infrastructure or even nuclear material.
But that leverage is what gives Trump
strength in these negotiations with
Iran. Uh Iranian officials have made
comments saying the US is unaware that
our men are waiting for American
soldiers to enter on the ground so they
can set them ablaze and punish their
regional partners forever. What should
we know about Iran's military if troops
do go enter on the ground?
>> Well, Carly, let's look back in history.
Iran actually has experience here. They
were providing uh you know Iranian
special forces known as cuds forces to
support the Saudi or the the modern
militia in uh Solder City in 2008 and
they were very violent. Ultimately Iran
can't stand conventional army to
conventional army. They would get
decimated. So what they're looking at
and what they understand is the survival
of the regime. meaning their soldiers,
hundreds of thousands to include the
bashes, would trade their uniforms for
plain clothes, move into urban centers,
hide amongst the populace, and create
this irregular asymmetric warfare. Uh,
which we know in urban environments and
even RAND and the US war college have
done studies where urban combat actually
declines your technological advantage
and bogs you down in a let's say
manpower intensive blocktoblock fighting
style, which leads to a lot of
casualties. Yeah, we know that.
>> Yeah. And you know, Mike, on on that
note, uh the Wall Street Journal has a
piece detailing just how complicated um
extracting the nuclear uranium, the
uranium material would be. Uh and the
bottom line that they have come to is
