Fox News halted for breaking news as Trump makes | TV Shows

Fox News halted for breaking news as President Donald Trump made a chilling five-word risk if Iran would not signal a deal with the U.S.

On the morning of Sunday, April 19, Fox News‘ Chief Foreign Correspondent, Trey Yingst, issued the breaking news, sharing that he had just spoken with the 79-year-old Commander-in-Chief, who gave him an alarming update on the battle in the Middle East. Trump told Yingst that this is the “last chance” for Iran to agree to a deal.

The president also said he is vowing not to make the same mistake as former President Obama. “If Iran does not sign this deal, the whole country is getting blown up,” Trump said. This comes as Iran has doubled down on closing the Strait of Hormuz again as the ceasefire expiration looms.

From Tel Aviv, Israel, Yingst told Fox News, “I just spoke with President Trump for about 20 minutes, and he told me if Iran does not sign this deal, the whole country is getting blown up.

“He went on to say that bridges and energy plants will probably be focused if Iran doesn’t signal this settlement. The president telling me that U.S. Special Envoy Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are heading to Islamabad, Pakistan, for conferences on Tuesday, presumably into Wednesday to attempt and get this settlement across the end line.”

Yingst continued, “The president telling Fox News this is a very simple deal. But this is the last likelihood for the Iranians.

“The president very clear in our conversation that he is not making the same mistake that President Obama made giving cash to the Iranians and allowing them to continue a nuclear program.

“The deal on the desk is to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, to guarantee that the Iranians shouldn’t have this extremely enriched Uranium that is buried deep underground after Operation Midnight Hammer last summer time.”

“And again, the president telling Fox News that all the nation will probably be blown up, bridges and energy plants will probably be focused if the Iranians don’t signal this settlement.”

Fox News shared a clip of Yingst exposing the new developments on X, and several of their followers took to the comments section to weigh in.

Many praised the president’s comments, with one person stating, “Trump’s not taking part in video games with Iran this time, dude. Last likelihood or it is over—straight discuss from the boss.”

Another added, “Iran retains mendacity and taking part in video games. 100% behind our President and navy ending this fiasco!”

A third echoed, “I voted for this straight, no-more-bulls— discuss. Thank you,” as a fourth added, “This is the very definition of not negotiating with terrorist FAFO.”

However, more X users were strongly against Trump’s threats.

One person pointed out, “People will cheer this as ‘powerful management’… others will see it as harmful rhetoric. The real query is how far is simply too far before it turns into one thing no person can control.”

Another person noted, “‘Whole civilization will die tonight’ was the rhetorical ceiling. Two weeks in the past. Once that threshold is used and not executed, every subsequent risk features as a step down, not up. ‘Power Plant Day’ on April 5. ‘Last likelihood’ today.

“Same template, lower decibel. Iran hasn’t flinched through any of it. That’s the Framework signal. Words calibrated for US domestic audience, not coercion of an adversary. Monday’s reprice will price the rhetoric accordingly.”

A 3rd said, “I won’t lie, this is just getting old at this point. This is like the 10th, ‘last chance.’ Get on with the show man.”

Meanwhile, a fourth penned, “Threatening to ‘blow up’ a whole country isn’t leadership, it’s dangerous rhetoric. Donald Trump should be pushing diplomacy, not escalating tensions with Iran. The world needs de-escalation, not war talk.”

Yet another questioned, “So genocide the Iranian people? First off, I don’t believe him. Second, the reason I don’t believe him is that I hope the USA military knows that would be illegal.”

Iran continues to block vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz while the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports continues, even as mediators urgently work to lengthen the ceasefire scheduled to end on Wednesday.

The blockades have halted Pakistani-led mediation efforts and forged doubt on whether or not the two-week truce will be prolonged.

Tensions soared even additional on Sunday when Trump raged at Iran for breaching the ceasefire by firing photographs on Saturday in the Strait of Hormuz.

The president threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure in Iran if it rejects the peace deal being provided by the US. “If they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran,” Trump wrote.

He said that negotiators will arrive in Pakistan on Monday for a second spherical of discussions with Iran.

“It is impossible for others to pass through the Strait of Hormuz while we cannot,” Iranian parliamentary Speaker Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf acknowledged in a state tv interview broadcast late Saturday.

Qalibaf, serving as Iran’s lead negotiator in discussions with the United States, condemned the US blockade as a “naive decision made out of ignorance.”
