Ben Ferguson 0:39
Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. We've got two big stories for you this morning. First up, the president of the United States of America has new statements on Iran, and it can change everything overnight. Plus, Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He's now on record talking about what's next, including the Strait of Hormuz. But before we get to that, I want to take a moment and ask you to help the people in Israel with my friends at the IFCJ working right now on the ground for all those in need. A sacred season is approaching, Passover, when we remember God's deliverance, the night he brought his people out of bondage and into freedom. This year, many of God's people will observe in darkness, under the shadow of war.
Ben Ferguson 1:26
Across Israel, red alert sirens pierce the air. Families run to shelters with seconds to spare. Elderly men and women fear they'll be left behind. And parents are comforting their frightened children as explosions shake the night. Sleeplessness and uncertainty have become daily life in Israel. And Passover reminds us that God hears the cries of his people and answers with love and compassion. And that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground in Israel right now. They're providing food and emergency supplies, equipping bomb shelters, and caring for elderly Holocaust survivors. Just as his people once cried out for deliverance, vulnerable Israelis need your help today.
Ben Ferguson 2:14
With your generous Passover gift, it shows you stand with God's people. And if you are ready to stand with the people of Israel, then stand with the IFCJ and help. You can call them 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-IFCJ. IFCJ to rush your gift right now. Or you can give online at ifcj.org. That's ifcj.org. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. Welcome back. It is the Ben Ferguson show. It is nice to have you with us. Donald Trump has come out talking about who he's talking to in Iran, the new regime there in place. And the president also making it very clear if they do not agree with the negotiations with America, we will blow up their power infrastructure easily. They better make a deal.
Ben Ferguson 3:11
President Trump suggesting in a message on Monday morning that a new and more reasonable regime has taken over Iran and is talking with Washington, D.C. He warned yet again he is willing to obliterate Iran's energy infrastructure. His exact words, if the talks do not lead to a durable agreement. Trump made the declaration, a message on his website, True Social. What remains of the Iranian government after the elimination of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly denied Trump's claim that it is in conversations with the American government, while also stating that it has responded to America's proposals, which would be impossible without a conversation. President Trump smiling through that in a statement saying that not only is America pursuing regime change in Iran, but the regime change has already happened, saying the United States of America is in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in Iran.
Ben Ferguson 4:12
He followed up that comment with a threat. Great progress has been made, but if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately open for business, we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating plants, oil wells, and Karg Island.
