GREG KELLY (HOST): Wow. So these missiles and bombs and fighter jets made a difference. Iran suddenly is rethinking their, we can wait until the midterms. No problem. No. This thing looks like it's ending. I hope so. It's really, quite frankly, not costing us all that much. It's not. I'll show you how in a moment, but this was Iran, Tehran, all over the country last night. And right now, the scene in the capital of that city is placid. Of course, they did have a lot of fires to put out today and some rubble to move around. Look, we don't want to hurt people when we don't have to hurt them, but we have to make sure this thing gets done, that they never have a nuclear weapon again.

And President Trump, his latest Truth on all of this, and, actually, he's also spoken from the Oval Office. But let's go ahead and put it up. I have, as president of the United States of America, canceled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran for this evening. That's tonight. They're canceled. The naval blockade will remain in full force and effect until this transaction is finalized. Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly. Could they really be just down to the logistics of the ceremony? Wouldn't that be awesome? Vice President Vance has gone to Pakistan before. Will it happen again? Could it happen this weekend? Hey. His birthday, the president is this weekend. That would be great. But you know what? If it doesn't happen this weekend, we can handle it. We can handle it. Other wars have lasted, what, 20 years, and there was never any pressure to end those wars. 13 dead, we don't like it. But this has been four months officially. And with the actual bombing, something like 35, 37 days, this is manageable. And I can tell right now the American people are not worried. Nope. Did you happen to watch the basketball game last night?
