Trump on Iran: 'Do I make a deal or do I finish them off?'
A classified intelligence memo warns that Iranian efforts to target Americans have reached advanced stages, FOX 9 reports, putting security concerns alongside President Donald Trump's public deliberations over Iran.
Reporting from Tel Aviv, Trey Yingst describes a memo sent by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The reported warning concerns plots in the Middle East and other countries, as the State Department reduces staffing in Saudi Arabia and evaluates embassies across the region.
Trump supplies the question at the center of the segment: "Now my question is, do I make a deal with them or do I finish them off?" The excerpt presents a choice, not an announcement of a decision.
Fox News analyst Gen. Jack Keane argues against an agreement, saying Iran would not comply. The report also carries Benjamin Netanyahu's warning to Iran and its proxies: "And I warn them: don't test us."
The FOX 9 upload drew about 42,000 views in its first day, roughly twelve times the station's usual Shorts audience. Its closing update shifts to Gaza, reporting that Israeli airstrikes killed at least seven people and injured others.
