Fox News’s Sean Hannity is tiring of Donald Trump’s non-answers.In a new interview between the pair, aired Thursday evening, the longtime face of the conservative news behemoth appeared visibly frustrated and irritated that the president would not directly address the war in Iran.“Do you think President Xi and China have the ability to influence the Iranians, considering they are one of their biggest customers?” asked Hannity.“Yea probably but—um, look, he’s not coming in with guns, they’re not coming in shooting,” Trump said.“I’m not asking—” Hannity interjected. “—Influenced.”But Trump was keen to switch the topic, reorienting his answer towards the possibility of U.S. oil sales.“He’s been very good. They get a lot of their oil—40 percent of their oil—from that location. So what has happened, and one thing that I think we’re going to make a deal on, is they’ve agreed they want to buy oil from the United States,” Trump said.This is one of the few times I’ve seen Hannity frustrated with Trump’s answers.

You don’t need them having a nuclear weapon.’”“And what did he say?” asked Hannity.“Well, he’s not going to respond too much, he’s a pretty cool guy. He’s not going to say, ‘Oh, that’s a good point,’” Trump said.“Do you think he agreed?” pressed Hannity. “What was the impression?”“I don’t think he wants them to have—no, he would like to see it end.” Not a definitive answer here from Trump on whether Xi agreed that Iran shouldn’t have a nuclear weapon.

But the reality of Iran’s progress on that front is still murky.Prior to the war—which never obtained congressional approval—Trump ordered strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear sites, hitting Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan on June 22. At the time, the Trump administration claimed that the one-off air raid had set Iran’s program back by “years.”Ex-National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who sparked a maelstrom in Washington when he resigned over the issue in March, argued in his resignation letter that “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”In the 11 weeks since the war began, the U.S. and Israel have killed thousands of Iranian civilians and obliterated Iranian civilian infrastructure. Fourteen U.S. soldiers have also died in the process, according to CENTCOM.
