Transcript

[Angelo Bavaro]

Upping the stakes. I'm Angelo Bavaro, Fox News. President Trump is warning the US could escalate military action against Iran after US Forces carried out another round of retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets.

[Unnamed U.S. Official]

This is in response to the IRGC hitting a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. It was about 4:30am when that ship was hit near the Strait of Hormuz. That's the second ship in two days and this is the second night of of bombing that the US Military is carrying out. The targets include air defense systems, drone storage sites, cruise missiles targeting radars and mine laying capabilities as well as surface to air missiles. That's according to a U.S. official. I'm told that this strike is much larger than last night which lasted for about an hour. Iran, I'm told had a chance to stop shooting. This official said they didn't take it.

[Angelo Bavaro]

Fox's Jennifer Griffin. In response, Iran launching more joint missile and drone operations in Kuwait and Bahrain. The IRGC says violating vessels will be dealt with more forcefully going forward. This also comes after Israel and Lebanon signed a framework agreement which Hezbollah's leader is rejecting, describing it as a surrender to Israel.

[Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon]

One of the biggest sticking points surrounding a long term U. S Iran deal is the ongoing conflict involving Israeli forces and the Iranian backed militant group Hezbollah. Israel and Lebanon just signed a deal that would see the IDF pull their troops out of two areas and in southern Lebanon the idea is for Lebanese soldiers to take control over areas that are currently being held by Israel.

[Lebanese Representative]

They believe that they actually own Lebanon. But Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese people, not to the Iranian people. So it is about time that Lebanon will gain independence and will assume full control of their territory.

[Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon]

Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon tells Fox News it's a gradual process but they have no motivation to stay.
