Sean Hannity suggests bombing Iranian oil refineries to cause “major poverty for the people of Iran”
“Maybe we could help them with arms and help them, you know — in some ways.”

As the world waited to see how President Donald Trump would respond to the Iranian missile strikes on al-Asad airbase in Iraq, one of his favorite television hosts cheered on potential reprisals, including retaliation aimed at creating “major poverty” for Iranians.

“There is a massive price to pay. You don’t get to do what they did tonight. They’re going to get hit hard,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said Tuesday night. “The mullahs of Iran, well, they may want to watch and keep a watchful eye on the sky tonight.”

After suggesting during the opening of the show that Iranian oil refineries may be at risk, Hannity then directly suggested bombing those refineries in an interview with Sen. Ted Cruz, with the intention of creating “major poverty” in the country, then “maybe” providing arms to Iranians to foment regime change.

“They have three major refineries in Iran, senator. Three. I would imagine those refineries blew up one day, they got themselves a hell of a domestic problem, because that’s going to result in major poverty for the people of Iran. And if they want regime change, that’s up to them,” he said. “Maybe we could help them with arms and help them, you know — in some ways, but we are not sending our sons and daughters there.”

Cruz responded by pivoting to the Iran nuclear deal, saying, “under Barack Obama, the policy [regarding Iran] was appeasement.”

“We need to stand up to the Ayatollah,” Cruz added. I’ve reached out to Sen. Cruz’s office for comment.

1. And, Trump talks with him nearly every night?

Consider his hires and how many have left, then look at his close friends...Ghouliani, Tucker, Hannity, Graham (both L and F), etc., and it isn't too difficult to understand why we are where we are.

BTW, where's Ghouliani? I haven't seen him in the news for days.

2. Yeah, and it would also "cause major poverty" for his listeners when oil goes up to $150.
