Tonight, chaos hits oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.

Chips are left ablaze by Iranian attacks as President Trump claims we won the war, the one that's still going on.

But is real endgame leaving it to the Iranian people?

Plus, they wouldn't sing the national anthem.

Iranian state TV called them wartime traitors. Now some members of the Iranian women's soccer team

are getting asylum in Australia. And Jeffrey Epstein's longtime money man faces Congress and even

Ever since the war with Iran started, the world's been trying to figure out how does it end?

When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations. I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom

to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold, be heroic, and take

back to your country. America is with you. Now, we've seen this kind of script before back in

1991 during the height of the Gulf War. Saddam Hussein had invaded Kuwait. President George H.W. Bush told

Iraqi is the same thing. And there's another way for the bloodshed to stop, and that is for the Iraqi

military and the Iraqi people to take matters into their own hands and force Saddam Hussein, the dictator, to step aside and then comply with the United Nations resolutions and rejoin the family of peace-loving nations.
