Episode description

Sean Hannity opens the hour with a high-stakes breakdown of the escalating confrontation with Iran, framing the moment as a final warning before decisive action. He walks listeners through the latest reports of Israeli and U.S. strikes, the collapsing state of Iran’s military infrastructure, and the pressure campaign surrounding Tehran’s uranium stockpile and the Strait of Hormuz. Hannity argues that the choice being presented is simple: abandon nuclear ambitions and stop threatening global stability, or face the consequences.

Throughout the hour, Sean leans into the broader argument that this is not just about one military conflict, but about preventing a terror regime from gaining permanent leverage over the free world. He also takes aim at the media and political class for what he sees as selective outrage, contrasting their criticism of Trump with years of silence over Iran’s support for terror. It’s a forceful, urgency-driven hour focused on deterrence, national security, and the cost of waiting too long.

Speaker 1

All of you for being with us. Right down our toll free telephone number if you want to be a part of the program. It's eight hundred ninety four one Sean if you want to join us. I had fully anticipated coming on the program and reporting that we are five hours away from the deadline when President Trump has promised that this would be Bridge and power plant Day and Infrastructure Day, and that's how I planned the program.

And as I've been following the news, you know, the last hour and a half in the lead up to the show today, I keep getting more and more updates about what is happening, and it looks like both Israel and the US have already started conducting a round of air strikes against more military targets on Irans, you know, in different Iranian locations, including is a report US military has conducted a new round of air strikes against military targets on Iran's Krg Island. Explosions heard after the air

strikes carg Island early today. Ninety percent of Iranian oil exports processed and shipped from the island. Wall Street Journal reported fifty sites were targeted during those strikes, which you know, we're confined to military targets, but you know, not yet

really going after their full infrastructure. The IDF this report from the Jerusalem Post warplanes targeting railways and a report that eight to ten bridges have already been taken out by the IDF in a bid to make it easier for Israeli and American forces to locate and destroy things and the Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahu confirmed the IDF strikes while adding that attacks against Iran are being conducted with increased intensity. We are targeting the railways bridges used

by the Revolutionary Guards. They use them to transport raw materials for weapons and the operatives that attack US, the US and other countries in the region. The IDF said it struck eight bridge segments in several areas across Iran, the military confirming that prior to the strikes that steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians. Later this afternoon. Just a short time ago, the IDF announced that it had struck Iran's most central site for the production of

sonar systems and underwater detection systems and other reports. The Israeli Air Force launched a wave of other attacks today, killing two senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers in Tehran, the first strike killing Majid Khadami, the head of the Intelligence Protection Organization of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and

the intelligence organization of the IRGC. A separate strike in Tehran killed another top IRGC of fIF Yazdan Meir, who headed the IRGC Cuds Forces Clandestine Unit eight forty and that has been implicated in kidnappings assassinations of figures outside of Iran. The Israeli forces also hit targets at the largest petrochemical plant, blowing up several airports used by the IRGC.

Is fighting continued, despite you know, efforts for negotiations. Now Axios reported it this was about two and a half hours ago, that progress had been made the past twenty four hours. And I got this report to last night that some progress might have been made. And what Axios is reporting, I'll give you what they were reporting. I'll keep my sources to myself for now. Iran sent a counterproposal to the U. I love these people in their counterproposals.

They're great negotiators, but they're horrible at keeping their work. This has been the history of Iran, and we always, we always underestimate their capabilities, be it their nuclear capability, ballistic missile capability. Anyway, so I ran stupidly with just hours left until this deadline is hit. You know they I'm not sure what part of Midnight Hammer and epic

Fury they missed. Uh. When Donald Trump gives you a deadline, usually the deadline kind of gets moved up a little bit, just to create the element of surprise that that's just the way it works, and love and war and everything in between. But anyway, while it was incompatible with the US positions, the White House actually saw it as encouraging.

This is not complicated for the Iranians. If the Iranian regime wants this conflict to end, there are two specific things they would have had to agree to open the straight oh horror moves One. Two handover their sixty percent enriched uranium they have. You know that they think. I don't know why they think they have any leverage in

any direct talks. Now. One other source Wall Street Journal saying is that Iran cut off all direct communications with the US after the President's vow on truth social to destroy Iran's whole civilization if the country doesn't reach a deal by eight pm Eastern time tonight, again less than five hours away. The journal is Alexander Ward, adding talks with ceasefire mediators continue. Middle Eastern officials say the move has temporarily complicated those efforts, but Trump sparked a lot

of anger and concerned. Well, I'm sorry that they got angry, but you know something, I'm angry too. I'm angry that they didn't take this deal. I'm angry that they have caused the deaths of tens and tens of thousands of incalculable numbers because they use proxies to kill innocent men, women and children. You know, I'm angry too what they

did on October seventh. I'm angry that they foment terran have been fomenting terror in the Middle East and around the world for decades now, for wopping forty seven years. I'm angry at how they treat their own citizens. I'm angry seeing images of citizens surrounding what are known targets right now as we speak. I'm angry at all of it. But we have every right to go after the infrastructure of Iran, and I'll get to that in a second. You would think, you know, this is the most amazing

part of this. This is how corrupt and this is why I guess I've been successful in my career thanks to all of you. I never forget that part. But the other part of it is the legacy media never has ever brought up the idea of war crimes when it comes to Iranians targeting as they have been day after day, night after night, densely populated cities in Israel and other parts of the world and targeting civilians at all times, that is their number one strategy. Or allowing

in Gaza schools to be used as shields. They're now using their people to surround known targets that the president is laid out for them. I guess with the promise of martyrdom. I don't know. We also have an update US Israel airstrikes decimating Iran's repressive secret police. This is a big deal. There are five thousand members of Iran security forces. They apparently have been killed another whopping twenty one thousand wounded. Now why would Donald Trump move earlier?

Thought he gave them a deadline. Okay, he did give them a deadline, and originally the deadline was ten days. And the fact that they're futzing around with you know, with some false, you know, delusional mindset that they're in any position to negotiate. They're not. This was very straightforward. It wasn't complicated. Open the straight a hormone for the free flow of oil at market prices, and stop holding the world's markets hostage. It's the lifeblood of the world's economy.

It's about twenty percent of the world's oil supply. I find it fascinating that other countries in the region are very cleverly now partnering with Israel to build pipelines so that this situation won't ever arise again because of the close proximity to the Uranians. Although I'm not sure in the end, long term if this regime will survive whatever's left of the regime. We're now with the fourth and

fifthier of it. You know, as I said on TV last night, as I sat on this radio programming yesterday, I really hoped that they would come to a smart, negotiated settlement. There were two main things they had to do. Immediately, open the STRAIGHTAHR moves, allow the free flow of oil at market prices. And number two, the only other thing they had to do was take the sixty percent enriched uranium, some thousand pounds of it or foreigner and sixty kilograms

of it, whichever measurement you prefer. Linda doesn't like the kilogram figure that I use, which could be used to make ten or eleven bombs handed over to the US led America to extract it the way we did in Libya.

And guess what, your country stops getting bombed, you have an opportunity to rebuild society, although I doubt this whatever remaining parts of the regime would be smart enough to build it in a way that actually gave rights to their citizens, the very same people that today they are having surround you know, their power plant structures and other

you know, target mentioned targets to the president. Anyway, the President has been urging the Iranian people to rise up and take their government back for weeks now, and the only thing standing in their way is fear of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces. But you know now that Israel in the US are targeting them. But anyway, report this morning and Iran in ourn all of this is about

to change. A review of citizen reports and source material found in the months since the war began, at least one hundred and thirty sites tied to internal repression were destroyed or hit. They include a lot of the buildings of both the police, Revolutionary Guard forces, compounds and other

security complexes involved in the repression of citizens. So they are being weakened, and as the President mentioned yesterday the Iranian people, there are attempts now to get arms into the hands of the Iranian people, so hopefully they can take their country back. We do have an update on the son of the now dead Supreme Leader who was killed in the opening salvos of Epic Fury. And this is the son that the Supreme Leader, Ali Hamani, never

wanted to replace him. This is the one that the New York Posts reported was gay, which by the way, is a death sentence in Iran. Bring brought up to a tall building. I mean, that was Linda. Did you see we did a segment last night that General Solomani's niece and grand niece living large in Los Angeles were taken into custody. Did you see the skimpy outfits we were showing them wearing last night, which, by the way, I'm not judging them. I don't give a rip what

people wear. I don't care about that. My only point is, can you imagine if we send them back to Iran and those pictures go viral when eventually one day the Internet gets turned back on there? And why were they living the high life in the US while simultaneously calling America the Great Satan. They're living in the Great Satan.

And the niece and grand niece of the now dead General Solomani anyway back to the son of the Supreme leader is quote unconscious, unable to be involved in any decision making, according to the New York Post, and according to an intelligence memo weeks after he was really injured. He was injured in the opening salvo of this this conflict and that killed his father and all his top deputies. Some reports claimed he suffered only a fractured foot and

minor injuries. Others suggested he was in a coma. But anyway, he's not been seen since that initial strike on February twenty eighth that killed his father and much of his family and much of the top brass and top leadership that had been in charge for the longest period of time in Iran, and anyways, currently undergoing medical treatment for a severe condition. We apparently even know where he is. It's about eighty seven miles south of tey Ran. Let's see.

Weight says, stay inside unless only of the utmost necessity to leave. US. Israel intelligence reports, you know now confirming that the son of the former Supreme leader, the guy we're told is the current Supreme leader. You know, we don't know anything about him except that he's absolutely not part of any decision making process, was not part of any negotiations with Steve Whitcoff Jared Kushner, Iran's president warning

their economy is near full collapse. According to Iran International News, a deepening rifted at the top of the Islamic Republic is now spilled into an unusually sharp confrontation, with the president accusing senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders of unilateral actions that have wrecked ceasefire prospects and pushed Iran towards disaster. Too close to the presidential office. That apparently this tense exchange is going on, So you've got a power struggle

at the top, which I guess is fairly predictable. But Iran's economy will not be able to withstand a prolonged war for much longer that the full economic collapse is inevitable under current conditions. It sounds like there might be a couple of reasonable voices that have been trying to talk some sense.

Speaker 2

You have to be.

Speaker 1

Really dumb, really really dumb, after being given every opportunity before Midnight Hammer to come to a peace agreement and not doing so. Okay, midnight happens, fourteen bunker buster bombs. We take out so much of their ballistic missile air defense systems, et cetera. Okay, that ends in twelve days. Then we discovered then we find out, yeah, they're bragging. They have fourner and sixty kilograms of sixty percent enriched uranium which can be enriched to weapons grade in less

than twelve days. We learned during this conflict that their ballistic missile range was far longer than we originally thought. Okay, now the president has a very short timeline. That's what precipitated Operation Epic Fury. But even before Epic Fury, they were giving a given a timeline to choose piece. They chose not to accept it. Now everything has been pretty

much out. Now they've been given a final timeline. You know, it just shows you the degree of fanaticism and evil and radicalism, and now they're sending their own people to what are known targets so that they will in all likelihood be dead by the end of today, and they don't care. And then reports that they're putting arms in the hands of children, you know, to fight against the infidels that of course would be us in Israel. Oh okay, this is a great regime that's not evil, though you

can't say that it's evil. No, the United States, according to some as evil, and if God forbid, Donald Trump actually talks to an evil regime in the language they understand. This is unbelievably shocking. Eleven years of Donald Trump talking this way, and it's shocking still. And I'm gonna bubble and fizz and melt like el Alca Seltzer in water. It's such a it's so phony. I can't stand these people.

Speaker 2

Alec Baldwin's favorite radio talk show host is on the air right now, right mister Baldwin's sean Hennity by twenty five till the top of the hour, or four hours and twenty five minutes until the President has promised that the whole civilization will die tonight unless then this will be a Bridge Night, an infrastructure night, and you know, the President has been very clear.

Speaker 1

The truth is, according to reports, this is this military effort has already started, and it doesn't. There seems to be no indication that there is going to be any type of deal. You know, I'm watching this guy, Broe Connor on Fox News. You know this guy, Linda. I mean, he's yeah, no, okay, let me tell you something. His arguments are stupid. There are dumb people. He goes, well, American's died. What if? And you cannot you cannot ignore

what we've learned here. And there are people that will put their head in the sand and they are willing to gamble with our children's lives and our grandchildren's lives, and they don't want to neutralize a threat while we're able to do it with the minimal amount of risk. Every military effort has risk. I don't want to minimize that. I don't want to minimize the loss of any one

person's life in any way. However, if this regime gets those nuclear weapons with those four nitred and sixty kilograms, you don't like that measurement, but I do. Of sixty percent enriched uranium less than twelve days weapons grade coupled with longer range ballistic missiles that anybody knew, anybody thought they had, and the idea that this regime that is killed tens and tens of thousands of na some people number one state sponsor of terror. They have read nothing

but death, havoc, destruction in the entire region. They have fomented terror around the world. And for those ignorant people that somehow believe that it's okay to let them move forward with their nuclear program. Now, even Obama, even Biden, even Kamala, even the Clintons, they all said Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. They all said it. We've played it repeatedly, and it doesn't seem to matter, and Donald Trump stops it now all of a sudden. It's

a bad thing. The reality is neutralizing a future threat shows that you have learned something from history. You've learned that if you can neutralize a threat, take it out. Yes it's dangerous, Yes it is hard, there's nothing easy about it. Yes it's temporary, but it's a lot better dealing with it now then dealing with it at some point in the future. I mean, it's so simple. This

is common sense. And if the Democrats, radical Democrats, legacy media mob, the weirdo isolationists that would never use American American military mind until until you are forced to when they have a nuclear weapon. Great, they get to hold your children, your grandchildren hostage. And the sad part is in this is you'll never be able to calculate how many lives potentially could be saved by the President realizing this is an existential threat for our future, the world's future,

our children's future, your grandchildren's future. And I really I have no patience for stupid people, because there are a lot of stupid, stupid people that are making a lot of dumb commentary. You know, just like from the very beginning, Donald Trump is doing the bidding of bb Netanyahu and Israel. No he wasn't. Right now, they have ballistic missile range capability that could reach Paris in London, They're twelve days away from enriching enough uranium as soon as they build

back their Richmond facilities. Especially if we didn't do anything militarily now to prevent that from happening, they would be able to do that in twelve days. That would be a clear and present danger that would hold the world hostage, and then they'd only continue to build that out. Now, it's hard to make tough military decisions and national security decisions, but I am flabbergasted that people haven't learned a thing from the last century. They haven't learned a single solitary

thing from history. Nothing. They just they just put their head in the sand. Now let's deal with the latest liberal talking point. It is liberal talking point. It's very, very simple and stupid. Donald Trump said the US would target every Iranian bridge and power plant. Now we actually have images on Fox News amazing the things that the Iranian regime will let out and they have. Now they are now forcing their citizens. You will never convince me

that they're doing this voluntarily. They have people with Iranian flags surrounding their power plants and the military targets. The President Trump has stated unequivocally that he will be going after And why would they do that? Explain that to me. Why would they ever do that? Because they don't care about their own citizens. Those are the people they put to death on a regular basis. Those are the women

that they give beatings to. If there his job is not fully covering their head or God forbid, you know, other more severe rules on dress code or not met. You know, they could face the death penalty been slaughtering tens of thousands of their own people, you know. And this hypocrisy really really irritates the hell out of me, because here President Trump, just like Israel, we target military targets,

period and dissentence. And the President is not wrong when he says when every bridge and power plant in Iran is taken out, that the whole civilization will die. And it's going to take a hell of a lot to bring it back. But it probably would would result in the end of the radical regime that exists, especially if we could ever get arms into the hands of the people of Iran that don't want to live this way anymore. It's been forty seven years a hell for them. It's

not really much of a life. But this is how the media spins this. Here's the Washington Post. Trump threats against civilian targets put military in legal and moral quandary. Oh it doesn't. What they're saying is not true. Have you ever seen the Washington Post or any of these idiots, and they are idiots. Be it on MSDNC, Legacy Media, CBS, AVC, NBC,

Fake News, CNN, any of the major newspapers. Have they ever done any articles about the moral and legal quandary of the murderous regime, the terrorist regime, the terror proxy supporting regime that has willfully been targeting, you know, this entire conflict. They've been targeting densely populated areas in Israel and other parts of the Middle East. They have been targeting the very same infrastructure in all these Gulf state

countries that produce oil. And not a single thought or one of these liberal commentators or writers has ever written about the moral quandary of the Iranian leadership. They haven't, they're saying. But the president's unrestrained statements have alarmed legal experts and former military officials, who argue the President Trump's threat to conduct broad attacks on civilian infrastructure very off limits and could undermine America America's aims in Iran and

create legal jeopardy for military leadership. I'm concerned the President's bombast is putting operational commanders in difficult positions. At Jeffrey Korn, who served as a top lawyer of war in the US Army from two thousand and four to two thousand and five. They know you can't just draw a circle around the country and say every element of the electric grid is now a lawful target. This is where they're wrong, and we'll getting into this in more detail at the

top of the hour. No, President Trump's promised to target Iran's energy sites and bridges and key infrastructure. That is not a war crime. I had a long discussion with Greg Jared, Who's going to join us at the top of the hour. It's not a war crime. An enemy combatants, fuel and power sources that support its military capabilities, often delivered across bridges, are permissible under the Common Rules of War,

meaning Iran's bridges, their power plans, their oil ins, the relations. Sorry, yeah, they have civilian purposes, but they also have military purposes and they also so that does not render it a war crime. It would be akin in many ways to collateral damage. It's a military target that has to be taken out. Unfortunately, it might have civilian purposes. Now the critics are arguing that international law, we don't recognize the ICC,

the International Criminal Court number one, number two. We should not be a part of these globalist organizations like the United Nations, you know, with their the IAEA that has forever gotten wrong and underestimated the Iranian capabilities when it comes to nuclear weapons because their inspections are complete Adam shift and they they are bamboozled again and again and again by the Iranian regime. It's like they underestimated their

ballistic missile capability and range. They do it constantly. But you know, the critics are saying laws prohibit the president and and and the UN is angry at Donald Trump for deploying any military measures or intimidation of terror against the civilian population. Well, if you look at this conflict, only one side has targeted densely populated civilian areas, and

that would be the Iranians. They're the ones that have been raining down cluster bomb after cluster bomb after cluster bomb in Tel Aviv, a densely populated city in Israel. They're the people that have been funding, fomenting terror and supporting Hamas in Gaza. And what does Hamas do in Gaza.

They fired their missiles from schools and hospitals because they know Israel does not want to strike civilian targets, because they actually respect human life, and they have tried up until October seventh to follow those quote rules until it got to the point of no return. And as the Iranians were raining down two thousand pounds and soon promising four thousand pound ballistic missiles, they really got to a point of no other option. And the same thing is

now happening with Hasbala. What is hamas, as Bala and the Uti rebels all have in common is that they're proxies of the Iranian regime. Now I understand this probably conflicting voices, those that are hardliners going up against those people that actually may have opened their eyes a little bit and realized this country is being decimated and is not going to be much left of the country. Uh

So there's this internal power play struggle. But obviously if the more moderate voices don't win the day in the next oh, I guess, you know, coming up on you know, four hours and twelve minutes, then it's it's gonna be what the president promised. Donald Trump doesn't make idle threats. And by the way, depriving the enemy of fuel is

very different than targeting densely populated Civilianaireas. My question is in any of your coverage, in any of your reading, and any of You know, if you ever watch these other channels, that have they ever once complained about the war crimes committed and perpetrated by the Iranian regime during this entire conflict and during their forty seven year reign.

And the answer to the question is no. And the only reason they're bringing it up now is because Donald Trumps president, and they just don't want Donald Trump to win the war. If we're going to engage in a conflict, it is best that we win that conflict. It is not complicated, not that sophisticated. Anyway, President is aware of Pakistan's proposal to extend the deadline two weeks. We'll see

what happens with that. Anyway, Depriving the enemy of their fuel resources has always been the legitimate objective of any war or War II. The Allied Oil Plan systematically targeted German synthetic fuel plants for finery storage facilities. Was that the wrong thing to do. The strike reduced production by ninety percent by September nineteen forty four. Resulting fuel shortage crippled the German warmesth and immobilized their tanks. Did it

have a severe impact on German civilians? Of course, it did, but it didn't. But it's not a war crime. Now. I would imagine that if we were living in a different time and we had Americans dying and you know, by the thousands and thousands, like we did in World War Two, and we had to make a decision. My dad spent four years in the Pacific during that conflict after Pearl Harbor, and he signed up, and he spent four years in the Pacific and the Navy, serving the

country and hated every minute of it. Lost a lot of friends there, didn't want to talk about it much. But was it the right decision or the wrong decision to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I guess you know the concept of war crimes based on these

international treaties, the Jev Geneva Conventions, the Hague Regulations. But the US is also has its own federal law called the US War Crimes Act of nineteen ninety six, which prohibits things like torture, mistreatment of prisoners, chemical or biological weapons. Trump's actions don't even violate our own laws. You're just being lied to as usual and propagandized as per usual.

All right, Listen, most of us are guessing our way through our health and guessing what foods are compatible with your specific body type, what supplements may be right or wrong for you, wondering why some things make you feel better than others. The truth is everybody's got a different fingerprint, everyone's got a different body type. Now, if you suffer from bloating, fatigue, brain fog, maybe just at different periods in your life, well, those are often just messages from

your body, and you need to listen to them. If your DNA is your blueprint, well the RNA will show you what's happening with your body right now. That's where biome comes in. It is a simple, at home gut health test that uses advanced RNA technology to analyze your gut micro biome and understand how your body is really functioning now. From there, Biome creates a personalized food supplement

plan designed specifically for your body. Instead of guessing, you get guidance based on real data based on your gut health, which is really the key to your health. And when people follow the plan, many report better digestion, more energy, and improved mood, which I'm noticing in Linda biome dot com slash Hannity A right four hours, three minutes away from the Iranian deadline, talk about a potential two week

how it is if the Pakistani plan goes through. Greg Jarrett on this war crimes issue next
