MEGYN KELLY (HOST): So it's all over the place, right? I mean, the president himself was saying they have to open the strait. His secretary of state literally the day before saying the Strait of Hormuz will be open. Trust me. It's got to get open. And then the president telling aides per The Wall Street Journal, maybe we don't have to open the Strait of Hormuz. And then finally this morning coming out and saying, you know what, if you're mad about the Strait being closed, go get your own oil. London, Europe, UK.
I mean, it's so erratic that even Fox News, the biggest cheerleader of this war by far, is starting to ask some questions. Watch

LAURA INGRAHAM (FOX HOST): If we cannot come to some type of peace deal with people who can't be trusted, then what? Well, looks like The US is going to escalate. President Trump is already warning of widespread further damage, threatening to hit electric-generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island, as he's reportedly considering sending ground troops in to secure the uranium.
Now knowing what little time we have and how quickly this can spiral out of control, we still have a lot of questions. For instance, was the president fully briefed about the risks of all of this from the beginning? And was he then able to take it all in and understand the complexity of this, how complex it could actually get, and further possibilities of casualties or other damage, the difficulty of dealing with his people? Or was he told this would be relatively quick in and out?
