We will sit down at the table and negotiate and see... if the smart people in that system can take over from the crazy people. Well, here's the basic deal that we cut. The basic deal that we cut was, we'll lift our blockade if you stop shooting at ships. But if you shoot at ships, we are gonna punch back, and we're gonna punch back harder than ever before. That was the deal. They said they would stop shooting at ships, and what happened 24 hours ago? They started shooting at ships again. Now, they were good, they were well-behaved for about a week, but then they started shooting at ships. So the deal is very simple. If they shoot at ships, we're going to knock the hell out of them and it's that simple and that's the basic way it's going to work.

You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Thursday morning. It's nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update and we've got a major story for you coming out of Iran. Donald Trump is declaring now that the Iranian ceasefire is over. and America is hitting back at Iran hard at this hour. Well, the president's also saying now Iran wants to make a deal, but they're crazy and sick people. We have all the audio and the breaking news. It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now. Story number one. We have major breaking news. President Donald Trump is making it crystal clear. As far as he's concerned, the ceasefire with Iran is over. Now, let me be clear. This is not speculation.
Ben Ferguson 1:28
That is exactly what he told reporters while attending the NATO summit. His words were blunt. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. They're led by sick people. The president of the United States of America making sure that we hit back extremely hard against Iran. And here is how they described it on ABC News.
Unknown 1:50
And the other breaking story at this hour, the U.S. striking Iran right now. A U.S. official telling ABC News at this hour, tonight's operations are bigger in scope, meant to degrade Iran's ability to threaten ships in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM releasing images of last night's attacks, saying they struck defense systems and coastal radar. Iran tonight saying it has targeted U.S. military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, and tonight promising more retaliation. And this evening, amid these new U.S. strikes on Iran, oil prices already surging and our gas prices set to go up again. Rachel Scott leading us off tonight. Tonight, as the U.S. launches a new attack on Iran, the second in 24 hours, President Trump now declaring the ceasefire over.

How did President Trump announce the ceasefire with Iran was over at the NATO summit?

Donald J. Trump 2:33
I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is? There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo.
Unknown 2:40
The new U.S. strikes hitting Iran's coastal radar sites and anti-ship missile locations. A larger attack than last night, when 80 targets were hit. It comes in response to Iran firing on three cargo ships near the Strait of Hormuz. The big question, what comes next? Overnight, Iran launching missiles at U.S. bases in the Gulf. Those missiles intercepted.
Ben Ferguson 3:04
Now, as you can hear there, even ABC News making it clear the president's hitting back very hard. The president was also asked about what we can expect moving forward. And here's part of what he had to say in Turkey.
Donald J. Trump 3:16
We're not attacking at the highest level. The highest level are the bridges, which we can knock down. I would say in one day, we knock down every single bridge in Iran. There's not a thing they can do about it. There are electric manufacturing facilities, right? There are electric plants where they make their electricity. We will, if we have to, we'll take them out. I don't want to do that, but if we have to, we'll take them out. They have desalination plants. We'll take them out if we have to. I hate to do that. That's probably the one I would like not to do least. We attacked Cargill Island last night. We knocked out a piece. I said, don't touch the oil because maybe we'll take over Cargill Island. We may take over Cargill Island.
