Speaker 2 (00:08):
President Trump now has put in place war plans to
bomb Iran. Good morning, Cooner Country. Okay, my friends, this
story broke yesterday evening. Wall Street Journal is now confirming
and the White House is not denying that President Trump
(00:30):
now has given the greenlight, the okay for advanced plans.
He's now seen him.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
He said he's on board with them to bomb Iran
in particular.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
In particular, what.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
The plan now calls is for the United States to
join Israel in a massive air missile campaign, in particular
to destroy Iran's nuclear weapons program, targeting their two key
nuclear enrichment facilities that are buried very deep underground. One
(01:13):
is Natons, which has already been badly damaged by Israel.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
But the key one, and we.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Talked about this yesterday, four Dough, which is about maybe
three hundred feet buried underneath a mountain. They believe that
many of these centrifuges that Iran is using to try
to push and advance towards a nuclear bomb capability, that's
where they're being now spun and created and produced that
(01:41):
four Dough is the heart, along with Natons of their
entire weapons program. The problem Israel needs bunker buster bombs
to get to the four Dough facility deep underground. They
don't have these bunker busting bombs and they don't have
the stealth be two bombers to deliver them.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
We do.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
And so Trump now has given his approval to this
advanced plan that would unleash missile after missile, US strike
after US strike. It would be at least six bunker
busters that they would drop on four Doh and about
another six on the tons and this would wipe out
(02:28):
according to both Israeli and and US military planners, this
would wipe out Iran's ability and capability, at least in
the short mid term to be able to develop any
kind of a nuclear weapon. Now, I want to stress
the President has not given the final green light. So
(02:52):
he has approved it. The war plans are there, they're
ready to go. The generals know exactly what would be
expected of them. But President Trump has not given the
final okay, the final green light, the final order. He's
playing his cards very close to his chest here. Now
(03:14):
is the absolute latest. US forces now are surging in
the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
There is a huge military build up.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
As I talked about yesterday and it's now been reconfirmed.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Three aircraft carrier.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Strike groups are now either in the area or on
their way to the area. The USS Carl Vincent, the
USS Nimics, and the USS Ford, which maybe is the
most powerful aircraft strike group carrier that we have it wants.
The USS Ford is fully there.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Man.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
If Trump wants to obliterate much of Iran's military and
its nuclear infrastructure, he will have the ability to do so.
Destroyers are also now on their way. The Navy now
is throwing a lot of assets in the Persian Gulf
in the Arabian Sea. They are now there for a
(04:15):
potential massive campaign. Furthermore, US troops now are being deployed
across the entire Middle East at military bases protecting military
embassies consulates. But if they need to be sent in
for some kind of a special operations or commando raid,
(04:36):
we have the firepower to do that as well. US
warplanes now are loading up all over Europe, places like Spain, Italy, Germany,
which could easily conduct hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
airstrikes on key military nuclear facilities. So the tension now
(05:01):
is sky is sky high. The escalation is now at
a record level. So far, Israel continues to pound Iran.
They have they have debilitated and destroyed all of Iran's
air defenses. They now have complete air dominance. Because of this,
(05:24):
they are now destroying Iran's military capability peace by peace,
by peace. In fact, to show you how effective there
they now are, they are picking apart Iran's missile launchers.
Over a third of Iran's missile launchers are now gone. Now,
(05:46):
Iran still has thousands and thousands of ballistic missiles, but
if you don't have the ability to deliver them, they're useless.
They're expensive, but they're basically, you know, hunks of metal
just sitting on the ground. It's sort of like, well,
I've got thousands of rounds of ammunition. Great, you gonna
(06:08):
have all the bullets in the world. If you don't
have a gun or a rifle or a machine gun
to deliver them, they're useless.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Missiles in some ways are the same way.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And so what Israel is now doing is they are
now starting to degrade and systematically now annihilate Iran's ability
to wage ballistic missile warfare. However, Iran now is unleashing
fire and fury. They realize it's a race against time.
(06:41):
Their missile launchers, as I said, over a third have
been destroyed. So now they have unleashed the most devastating
barrage of their missile strikes in the entire war.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
This morning, an.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Israeli hospital, the biggest in southern Israel, was directly by
an Iranian ballistic missile. The hospital now has been in
large part destroyed or badly damaged. They're looking at at
least sixty five Israelis injured. We don't know what the
death toll is, but this is now a clear strike
(07:18):
on a civilian target by Iran. They are also now
targeting other buildings, other civilian areas. They are now launching
dozens and dozens and dozens of wave after wave of
ballistic missile strikes. Some are getting through the iron dome system.
(07:38):
Their goal now is to spread terror across Israel and
hoping to break the morale of the Israeli people. And
so the question now is at this hour, with Iran
now firing ballistic missiles, with Israel controlling the skies, with
(07:59):
both countries now all out war. What will the president do? Yesterday,
he was asked by reporters, is it too late to negotiate?
He said no, even at this eleventh hour, almost a
(08:19):
twelfth hour. He said, if Heron wants to negotiate an
end to their nuclear weapons program, in other words, it
would have to be an unconditional surrender. Trump made it
very clear it doesn't have to be regime change. I'm
not asking the Mullus to leave power, but it has
(08:42):
to be an unconditional surrender of their entire nuclear weapons program,
no enrichment whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Period. If they're willing to talk that I'm willing to listen.
We can still make a deal.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Trump then claimed that senior Iranian diplomats want to go
to the White House and negotiate with him directly in
the Oval Office. Iran said that's not true. They would
never grovel to the United States like that. So I
guess if there is going to be a negotiation, it's
(09:20):
not going to be in.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
The White House. Now, one last important bit of information.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Media reports now say, and this is important, and we're
going to find out exactly how or why in the
next twenty four to forty eight hours. But according now
to media reports, three three, not one, not two, Three
Iranian government planes were spotted landing in the Middle Eastern
(09:51):
country of Oman.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Why is that important, Jeff, Jeff Okay.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So they're flying government planes to a.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
A country nearby.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Oman is the country that was mediating the nuclear talks
between the United States and Iran.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
That's where they were meeting previously.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's where they were scheduled to meet until Israel launched
its attacks on Iran. So the question now is by
them flying those planes into Oman, is there some kind
of a negotiation, backdoor diplomacy in which a potential negotiated settlement,
(10:37):
even at this incredibly late hour, is being now discussed
and possibly can be hammered out. We shall see one
final development. Several key Iranian government officials have now reached
out to Russia and other countries. They want to defect
(10:59):
from the region. It's still a trickle, it's not a
mass exodus. But now senior government officials, many of them,
see the writing on the wall, and they believe the.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Mullas are on the verge.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
They're teetering, They're on the verge of potentially collapsing. Is
this the end of the mullas, should Trump make a deal.
