President Trump wants Iran to agree to a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz and isn't messing around.

On social media, he warns that, a quote, a whole civilization will die

tonight. This is ahead of a deadline for Iran to agree. There's a great concern the U.S.

military targeting power infrastructure and bridges will have deadly consequences for civilians

as well. And I think that's likely where the president is coming at this from is the fact that they're

moving those weapons of destruction and they're using those to block this trade, to block

trade, and ultimately keep leverage over the world's oil supply.

That's where he's coming at this from.

This is the Fox News rundown, Operation Epic Fury.

as this war may escalate once again with the U.S. strikes on Iranian infrastructure.

President Trump has talked about great success in this war,

but a major thorn in his side has been the Strait of Hormuz. The ship traffic stuck there, and the rising cost of gasoline Americans have been paying at the pump. So the next step in this game is to target, that infrastructure. Are we surprised it's come to this? Let's take a step back and look at the macros. Really, our problems in the Middle East go back to the Barbary Pirates.

I think if you look at history, you probably know that we could have done better balance,

better work in solving some of these issues.
