That's what Trump is saying.

Of course, there's a lot that's hard to confirm at this point.

But who do we know right now in terms of who is calling the shots in Iran?

Well, as we've seen, that approach can last for decades.

Let's hope those days are done.

Benham, thank you so much for coming on.

We really appreciate your expertise.

President Trump is standing firm on his hardline approach with Tehran.

In a Truth Social post today, he declared there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender, which he of course wrote in all caps.

He added that after the selection of a great and acceptable leader, the U.S.

and its allies would help rebuild Iran's economy, saying the country could become bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

Trump closed the message with a new slogan, Make Iran Great Again.

The post comes after Iranian President Massoud Bassashkin claimed that some countries have begun mediation efforts over the conflict.

You may have heard the president say just a little while ago that we have sunk or destroyed 24 ships.

That was true at the moment.

We're now up over 30 ships.

And in just the last few hours, we hit an Iranian drone carrier ship, roughly the size of a World War II aircraft carrier.

And as we speak, it's on fire.

Four men have been arrested on suspicion of gathering intelligence on London's Jewish community on behalf of Iran.
