Trump: We’ll Hit Iran Hard; US Devastating Iran’s Economy | CBN NewsWatch - September 2, 2026

President Trump promises to hit Iran hard after Iran attacks Middle Eastern countries in response to US strikes; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says economic pressure on Iran is working, that “in two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be a worthless piece of water,” as oil will increasingly move through land-based pipelines, and that Iran is struggling to pay government employees and troops; amid the suffering and intense persecution, Iran’s church is helping serve their communities and neighbors; Iran says diplomacy is still an option, but Trump isn’t interested in a “worthless agreement;” Russia is backing Iran; the US embassy in Jerusalem warns Americans across the Middle East that there’s the possibility for unforeseen escalation; Julie Stahl talks about how the Trump Administration’s economic and military pressure has weakened Iran, the possibility of escalation of the war, what’s happening with the church in Iran, and about Israel’s military actions to weaken Hamas; with drones becoming a key part of warfare, a look at how the US is trying to prevent drone attacks in this country; and a strange but true story from Jerusalem’s history: how a lost set of dentures led to a ceasefire between Israel and Jordan in the 1950s.
