SEAN HANNITY (HOST): The president is showing great restraint here. There is an easier way for the president. Let me tell you what it is, to blow up Kharg Island. The president wants to wipe out their ability to ever be able to make money for the foreseeable future and stop all its terrorism with it. He could just blow up the island. It wouldn't be hard. They have no air defense systems. We have proven we could pretty much go anywhere within the confines of the country of Iran. They don't have the military means to fight back against the US. 

That is certainly on the table. The president would rather not go down that road. I'm pretty certain I understand why he's hoping that if he gives this just enough time, he's hoping that the Iranians will either come to the table and be reasonable this time and that he doesn't want to go down that route. He's threatening to go down that route. I don't think his patience will be endless. I think it's short lived, and then the president will have to act.
