in my mind that would be something like a tomahawk lead cruise missile strike or an airstrike on specific military target. a lot of collateral damage estimation goes into this to make sure we are not hitting civilians or the wrong type of target so trump has always options. he is in no rush and he will decide when the time is right. rob: a tweet from congresswoman ilhan omar. just like in iraq, using illegitimate pretext to beat the drums of war. that first line. we have had ships attacked, a drone taken down and what you make of that? the congresswoman is way off base. it is not accurate to compare this to iraq. this is a situation that iran created with its july 7th deadline to restart nuclear activity. they attacked, shot down two drones, they have attacked tankers, they have made threats and what we are talking about is not a land invasion but a
secured and analyst doctor rebecca grant, thank you for joining us. a lot of people trying to make sense of what happened in the overnight hours, the reports you just mentioned that he ordered this and told everybody to stand down. do you think that is part of his strategy to keep iran off-base and what he is going to do? it could work that way. he had a senior leader, he may have given initial approval for a strike and something changed, maybe with an ally, maybe in the target area, maybe us military forces or a message from iran. trump is showing he is methodical, cautious, careful and still has all the military options open. they took down one of our drones. we don t strike back, do we look week? that s right. this is not just a tiny drone
anymore, if they escalate further, going back to may they started be enriching their uranium above 3.7%. this really could be seen as their last chance. rob: this is a big deal. what happened last night is a big deal. thank you so much. jillian: all eyes on the president, we will keep following that. joe biden blaming donald trump for the iranian strike colin the iran strategy a self-inflicted disaster. rob: fox news and washington post contribute or mike tyson of the american enterprise institute says biden should take a look in the mirror. your administration is the one that sent unmarked bills to tehran. you are the administration that lifted sanctions on the iranian regime that allow them to fund hamas, fund has bill and terrorist groups and their imperial expansion across the middle east. rob: the trump campaign responded tweeting what is his
as late as 7:00 pm diplomatic officials were expected to strike after intense discussion and debate with the president s top national security officials and congressional leaders. is not clear if this was called off because of strategy, because of logistics, or if indeed the strike might still go ahead. look, i said i want to get out of these endless wars but this is a new wrinkle, this is a new fly in the ointment what happened, shooting down the drone. this country will not stand for it. reporter: on thursday donald trump insisted the us drone was flying over international waters and an iranian missile was fired from iran s coast. iran s government disputed the president s characterization insisting the american drone straight into american airspace. this is seen as a clear warning to iran that if they try
awkward body language sitting there, very stiff. let s look at these tweets was one person says we know they don t like each other. i would like to be a fly on that wall and another twitter user timing and saying body language in these clips, we must have a body language expert on this. trump owns the space between them and i don t think justin knows what to do. someone who always knows what to do is brian kilmeade. we should check in with him coming up on fox and friends . that s the problem and why i talk to you in the morning and not rob. rob is critical of my breakfast choices as the show moves ahead. some dramatic things happened rob and jillian were going over. a strike on iran ready to go, the president call back at the last minute, the white house is not pushing back on this story, we are trying to get to the
