Good evening, everyone, and welcome to The Weeknight. I'm Simone Sanders-Townsend with Eugene Daniels and Jackie Alimany in for Alicia and Michael. Let's get right to tonight's breaking news. Donald Trump just caved, backing down from his fake deadline, averting for now what the president described this morning as an attack on Iran that would lead to the death of a, quote, whole civilization.
Eugene Daniels 0:22
Let's continue our breaking coverage. Donald Trump has announced that the United States has reached a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran. contingent, very important point here, on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier tonight, MSNOW reported that more than 50 House Democrats are now calling for Trump's removal either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment in the wake of Trump's threats against Iran.
Stephen K. Bannon 0:47
Iran has been a threat to the United States and the free world for 47 years. chance of death to America, targeting our people, killing Americans, lying and blackmailing their way toward a nuclear weapon, so they thought.

What recent developments have occurred regarding the U.S.-Iran ceasefire?

Stephen K. Bannon 1:04
No longer. Not on our watch. Other presidents marked time and kicked the can down the road. President Trump made history. From the strike that took out Qasem Soleimani, to tearing up the disastrous Obama-Iran deal, to the precision campaign that obliterated Iran's nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, to the decisive military victory we just achieved in Operation Epic Fury. No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this Commander-in-Chief. President Trump forged this moment. Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it. As the President truth this morning, a big day for world peace. Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield, a capital V military victory.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:07
By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come. You see, had Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, their bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure, targets they could not defend and could not realistically rebuild. It would have taken them decades, and we were locked and loaded. They couldn't defend against it. President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes, but he chose mercy. He spared those targets because Iran accepted the ceasefire under overwhelming pressure. This new regime was out of options and out of time, so they cut a deal. They know this agreement means that they will never, ever possess a nuclear weapon.
Stephen K. Bannon 3:05
Under the terms, any nuclear material they should have will be removed. Any material, excuse me, they should not have. will be removed. Right now, their dust is deeply buried and watched 24-7 overhead. The president has been clear from the beginning there will be no Iranian nuclear weapons. Period. Full stop. Other presidents said it. President Trump did it. For decades, Iran killed Americans with roadside bombs in Iraq, using cowardly proxies to do their dirty work while they hid safely in Tehran. They struck our embassies with car bombs and attacked from the shadows, never daring to face us toe to toe. They thought they could bleed America with impunity. Well, they just learned the hard way what happens when you try to fight us directly.
Stephen K. Bannon 3:59
And even when they got lucky, one time in 40 days and down two of our pilots, they couldn't hold them.

What are the implications of Trump's military actions against Iran?

Stephen K. Bannon 4:06
In a daring 14-hour rescue operation, seven hours in daylight and seven hours of night, both pilots were recovered safely. Not once, but twice. A daylight thunder run right up the middle of their country. Boots on the ground. A midnight raid right up the middle of their country. Boots on the ground. Zero American casualties. The Iranians humiliated and demoralized. We control their fate, not the other way around. That's why they came to the table. Suffering their regime has inflicted around the world. Now we have a chance at real peace and a real deal. The War Department, for now, for now, has done its part. We stand ready in the background to ensure Iran upholds every reasonable term.
