Iran and the US exchanging fire in the straight of Hermuz in what the president has called a love tap.
>> But commanderin-chief insists a ceasefire is still in place despite the strikes.
>> Lucas Tomlinson starts things off in Dubai with the latest details. Hi Lucas.
>> Well, good morning Griff. Good morning guys. We end the week where it began with US warships under attack in the Straight of Form. But now for the first time since the ceasefire began last month, the US launched a counterattack ashore. Here's President Trump describing the action.
>> We took our three destroyers and we rammed them through some pretty big stuff today.
They were firing at us and we were firing back at them and our firepower was a hell of a lot stronger than theirs and they knocked the hell out of them.
>> Is the ceasefire with Iran still on?
>> Yeah, it is. It's They trifled with us today. We blew them away. If there's no ceasefire, you're not going to have to know. You're just going to have to look at one big glow coming out of Iran. And they better sign their agreement fast.
So, Surface Navy leading the way there, guys. Here's a map showing the targets.
Bond Abas, home of Iran's largest Navy base, Keshum Island. That's the toll booth and where drones and missile sites are located. The Car Naval checkpoint.
Again, some more housekeeping. US jets also part of the action last night. Now, here the US warships are on targeted. All guided missile destroyers. USS Truckton, USS Mason, recall very active in the Red Sea a few years ago against the Houthis and the USS Raphael Peralta.
Now recall earlier this week, General Dan Kaine said US forces came under attack more than 10 times since the ceasefire had been in effect. For now, the blockade remains. More than 1500 ships remain stuck in the Persian Gulf behind me. Normally about 130 transit the straight each day. That number has been reduced to a trickle over the past two months. Now, early this morning, we heard fighter jets overhead and UAE air defenses were active for the third time this week as Iran launched another attack here in the Emirates, a country the size of South Carolina, guys.
>> All right, thanks so much, Lucas. Uh, so things are really heating up and we're still waiting to see their response to our 14-point proposal. Uh, so meanwhile, as a destroyer went through the straight international waters, they were shot at.
They knocked it out. What I liked about this response is they not only knocked the attack out of the sky uh and they went ahead and found out where it came from and they blew up the launchers.
I was disturbed by a report in the Washington Post that they say twothirds of the launchers are still okay to be used uh and still intact after the twoe war.
>> Two of theirs, >> twothirds of Iran's and so and there I mean they have a lot of munitions left.
But for somebody that wants to be heading towards the end of the violence and wants to the end of the blockade, they have a funny way of showing it.
>> Yeah. So the president, I mean, it was successful. He successfully navigated these three guided missile destroyers through the straight. And we did come under heavy fire from Iranian forces.
They were using missiles and they were using drones. They were using these uh fast attack boats. But SINCOM did confirm and so did the president that all incoming threats were intercepted.
And then we fired back on them. So it was successful. The point of this was to test it to see if we could go through.
It is international waters.
>> Absolutely.
>> Yeah. But you you mentioned test Anley.
Look, this is no doubt a test of the ceasefire because these three destroyers, the Mason, the Truckend, and the Raphael Peralta are navigating it.
They Iran attacked us while we have been told they're going to come to the table to negotiate in good faith. They are attacking us.
Obviously, we responded and successfully knocked it down.
But to your point, Brian, about that Washington Post article, it also talks about how they believe that Iran thinks they can outlast President Trump and try to maintain some sort of control of the strait. And the president's made it pretty clear, particularly in Lucas's report, that that's not acceptable.
CIA actually said that uh this according to a CIA report that the Washington Post got a hold of that said that they believe that Iran can last six, seven months with the current blockade of oil.
So, if that is indeed the case, because they got that shadow fleet is still functioning and they're still able to make money off the shadow fleet that's been existence for 20 years because they've been under such heavy sanctions.
And guess who's buying it? China. And guess where the president's going next week? China. So, they're the key to all of it. They're buying 90% 80 to 90% of Iran's oil. The armaments that they have, that money and the the actual armaments themselves are from China. And it's Russia that's providing the intelligence that allow our bases to get hit. So, we got to start pressuring the other superpowers.
>> Yep.
