U.S. forces have struck more than 10,000 military targets. In fact, we hit the 10,000th Iranian target just hours ago. Our precision strikes have overwhelmed Iranian air defenses and our combat flights over Iran are having tangible effects. We've also removed a regime's ability to rebuild them. Today, we have damaged or destroyed over two-thirds of Iran's missile, drone, and naval production facilities and shipyards. And we're not done yet. Yeah, it's a head of Sencom right there talking about the latest in the war with Iran coming over to the board right now. He mentioned 10,000 targets struck more than that, actually, and more than 10,000 combat flights so far. This is what is so devastating, however, for the Iranian side of this equation. Yeah, 92% of your navy has been knocked out. You've got two-thirds of your missiles, your drones, and your naval production facilities

and shipyards are gone. They've been destroyed by the Israelis and the U.S. air campaign, which is so profound right now. In the past 24 hours or so, we look at this map and think about where these rallies are going, where's the U.S. going? A lot of hits around Tehran, the capital city. To come down here, the Gulf of Australia of Hormuz, rather, it's a town called Bander Abbas, which Matt just mentioned, the head of the IRGC, the Navy, the man who ran the Navy that blocked the Strait of Hormuz. He was taken out one more screen for you here. And return all these blue dots of the U.S. military bases throughout the area. And they've been targets over the past three or four weeks on behalf of Iranian drones and missiles. All right. But in red, you've got what the Iranians have done. We have three strikes here in Israel. You've got one near Baghdad, another one here in Kuwait. What that tells us will move now, Jimmy, is that by the day the Iranian fire has become less and less. A fewer and fewer drones and missiles have been targeted at these bases and Israel, which

could be significant for our next guest. This now will show them this panel. We have 12 leading members of the entire Iranian regime that have been taken out. The Ayatollah, I mean, think about this now, Ayatollah is dead. The head of the IRGC, the commander, he has been taken out. The head of the military bureau, he's dead. The defense minister in Iran, he's gone. I mentioned the IRGC, Navy commander, eliminated, commander of the besiege. That's the state police. Very powerful. Internally in Iran, he's dead. The head of Iranian intelligence, he's gone as well. What are you left with? As the president says, we don't know who we're talking to. H.R. McMaster is with us now. Retire, Lieutenant General Former National Security Advisor to President Trump. Good to have you on the program. And thank you for your time and good to see you again. You made a comment that the conditions today in Iran are similar to the conditions in that country 47 years ago when that revolution with the Shaw took place. Why do you say that and go ahead and describe what you see on the ground in Iran today?

Hey Bill, it's great to be with you. It's actually worse for the Iranian regime than it was for the Shaw back in 1979. The situation you had in 1979 is you had a government that really wasn't delivering well for the people. They were really prioritizing their military strength, what appeared to be strength, whether they were neglecting their economy. For example, their security forces kind of stayed home. They weren't able to really support the Shah they decided not to. And so what you're seeing today, I think, and what you just described is the U.S. Central Command, along with the Israelis as part of this coalition, are doing what they set out to do. What they told us, what the president told us in the first seven-minute clip that he used to announce at the beginning of the operation, as well as the various breedings of the Pentagon is to deny Iran's ability to project power outside of Tyler Reddick here from 2311 Racing.

But what you're also seeing in some of those who have been killed is a weakening of the regime's ability to maintain their exclusive grip on power by repressing the population. So the conditions are set, I think, for a fundamental change in the nature of the Iranian regime, such that it ceases its permanent hostility to the United States. You know, they call the great Satan Israel, who they call the cancerous boil, and of course they're Arab neighbors. So they fired these missiles and drones against 14 different countries. And so I don't, I think this regime is, what I mentioned at a recent essay, it's a dead man crawling. Wow. Okay. Let me take that a step further, because what we're hearing from the leaders of these Gulf States is saying that we cannot accept Iran that is not neutered.

So they want all their military capabilities wiped out and they want the next leadership to agree to those conditions. So your conclusion based on your military background and your intelligence background is that this regime will be changed. How much thought have you given to what replaces it and what does that thought take you? Yeah. Bill, I mean, this is this is the big question, right? You know, it already, it's already changed because you just went through all these leaders who have been killed. And so the regime is fragmented. I think President Trump is playing toward that fragmentation, he says, all they want to deal, they're desperate for a deal. But you know what they're saying publicly, Bill, is they're saying, hey, we've got to meet these five conditions. You stop attacking the second things you'll never going to attack us again. You're going to give us the keys to the straights of, of, of Hormuz. You're going to pay reparations. So what you're seeing are these much different, many different perspectives because the regime is fragmented. So one way it could, one way it could end, Bill, is that fragmentation continues and elements

of the military, maybe the R-tash, which is the conventional military, say, hey, and enough of this, we're taking control and you would have essentially a coup of some kind and a transitional government. That would probably be the best way that it could end. And another is the continued strikes against the busses, right, which are these thugs who killed, you know, 30,000, more than 30,000 Iranians in a two day period in January, that weakens the regime's ability to repress its own population, you know, they just rounded up a thousand people because the regime is very concerned about that. That's another way. So you could have, you could have a brief period of essentially civil war and an uprising as well. Okay. I got about 30 seconds left. When the Iranians publicly say that what we reject your offer, there's no negotiations, it's not happening. And then leaders in Pakistan come out and say, no, they're talking and the Iranians have looked at the offer. I wonder how much that is for domestic consumption.

If the internet's out and like state communications, the only way that the most remaining is get news and information, perhaps that's the message that's going on. I just want to get a quick thought on that and how you analyze it. Absolutely. It's just it's total propaganda toward their own population, hey, don't pay attention, you know, to these, you know, 10,000 strikes against us in the weakening of the regime. You know, we're really driving the, and have the initiative in the fight. And it's just all, it's all smoke and mirrors. I'm sure the right people aren't buying it, right? There's more and more internet, you know, content getting in, getting past these firewalls. There are more VPNs and starlink terminals. So you know, I think it's just, again, it just shows the fundamental weakness of the regime as well as the degree to which the regime is fragmented.
