Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
He's leading the way. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. And before Vice President Vance took off for Pakistan to head up the negotiations with Iran tomorrow, he told reporters.
As the president of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand. If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive.
Iran has suggested that Israel's continued attacks targeting Hezbollah militants in Lebanon could derail the negotiations.
Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in U.S.-Iran negotiations?
And Fox's Matt Finn reports from Dubai.
The UAE says Iran launched more than 2,500 drone and missile attacks at this country and that Iran should pay for the damage. And also, Iran cannot remain in control of the Strait of Hormuz. But it appears right now that even though about a dozen vessels have crossed the strait since Tuesday's ceasefire, there is not a free open flow on the strait.
A senior Israeli official tells Fox News this morning that Iran is demanding fees to pass through the strait.
Oil prices are up slightly, and despite Wednesday's big plunge, still about 50% higher than before the Iran conflict started, spiking up gas prices, leading to higher overall inflation. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.9% last month, though the core rate taking out food and energy rose less than expected, just two-tenths.
And White House Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett tells Fox Business...
Once the energy prices start to come down, don't forget that that'll put downward pressure on inflation. And with starting with core at point two, I think that the outlook for the Fed being having the room to cut rates is going to be very solid.
The Federal Reserve has paused cutting interest rates so far this year.
Now a different financial scrutiny. White House aides were warned in a March email not to place bets on prediction markets. A White House spokesman says all federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of non-public information for financial benefit. Fox's Jared Halbern at the White House.
Democratic lawmakers have voiced concern over some high winning bets placed about the war in Iran and oil trading.
