Iran's oil offensive comes 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 3: as gas prices in the US continue to climb due 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 3: to Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, the vital 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 3: waterway where about one fifth of the world's oil passes through. 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: The US says it destroyed over a dozen Iran mine 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 3: laying boats that threatened the strait. President Trump says the 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 3: military operation against Iran can be both an excursion and 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 3: a war. He was asked about the distinction while touring 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 3: a pharmaceutical company in Cincinnati, Ohio today.

Trump said it's a war 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: for Iran, but for the US it turned out easier 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 3: than we thought. The president went on to say most 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 3: of Iran's missiles and drones have been destroyed. The FBI 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 3: is warning authorities in California that Iran is aspiring to 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 3: attack the West coast with drones.

Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: attack on the West Coast using unmanned aerial vehicles. The 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: reports says there are unspecified targets in California. Iran has 27 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: already been retaliating with drone strikes against targets in the 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Middle East.

Severe thunderstorms 35 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: could errupt for more than ninety five million people from 36 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: Texas to New York. The same system slam parts of 37 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: Illinois and Indiana with damaging tornadoes. According to the Fox forecast, 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: it'll push through the Mississippi Valley and eventually into the 39 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.

Other 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 4: pro Trump media figures like Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 4: have also voiced opposition to the war. I'm Michael Kasner. 48 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: Consumer prices rose about in line with what analysts were 49 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: expecting in February.
