What new U.S. strikes and Operation Epic Fury updates did the White House announce?
More strikes. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. President Trump has reportedly ordered a fresh attack on Iran in an effort to force a militant regime to surrender. Fox's Jillian Turner has more from the White House.
The president went on defense against criticism that the conflict has no end in sight. Backing his boss, the war secretary says launching Operation Epic Fury back in February, quote, took guts.
The world saw what the American military was capable to do, but that doesn't happen unless the commander in chief says you're authorized to do it.
Despite repeated claims that Iran's military arsenal has been decimated, the commander-in-chief acknowledged today that the regime does have some capability left.
They have some, but they have far fewer than they had four or five months ago.
How did President Trump and the war secretary justify continued actions against Iran?
Missiles aren't the only threat the U.S. is worried about. The State Department Rewards for Justice program posted a new offer, $15 million for information about Iran's military drone program.
Iran reporting they've successfully hit two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, but U.S. officials have yet to confirm if that's in fact true. President Trump reporting Hamas for the first time agreeing to give up their arms if Israel meets certain conditions. Fox's Steve Harrigan has the latest from Tel Aviv, Israel.
President Trump touting this really as a major achievement. He also said it's one that simply would have been impossible to get done without the success the U.S. had already in the war against Iran.
It's a great breakthrough. Nobody's ever thought that would, nobody thought that would be possible to disarm Hamas. That shows you how much success we're having with Iran.
Here in the region, we've gotten back into that rhythm of attacks. One side striking the other the next night, the other side striking.
What evidence and concerns were raised about Iran’s remaining military and drone capabilities?
Multiple drone attacks targeting U.S. bases in Kuwait. No casualties reported.
Beijing officially denies providing direct military assistance to Tehran. America's listening to Fox News. A move by Democrats to expand protections for migrants has been blocked. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen proposed a measure that would grant recipients of temporary protected status or TPS a path to citizenship. The bill was blocked by Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmidt. He argued it was mass amnesty and, quote, rewards those who break our laws.
How did developments between Israel, Hamas, and regional drone attacks get reported from Tel Aviv?
Senator Schmidt told guest host Charlie Hurd on Fox's The Ingram Angle that if Democrats regain power in Washington, they'll support open borders.
You just have to look and see what happened to Biden for years. 15 to 20 million people came here illegally. And they're not even trying to hide it anymore.
Senator Van Hollen argued that the U.S. shouldn't force migrants to return to countries that the State Department says are dangerous. A bill to extend temporary status for about 350,000 Haitian migrants previously cleared the House with 10 Republicans joining Democrats.
Why was a Democratic measure to expand TPS protections blocked in the Senate?
A disgraced former congressman has agreed to pay up following his latest controversy.
Ex-lawmaker George Santos of New York will pay $35,000 as part of a deal to end a federal investigation after he made big bucks on the prediction marketplace site, Kalshi. The Republican made a bet against his own plans to attend President Trump's State of the Union address earlier this year. He obviously won. Kalshi reported Santos to regulators the former lawmaker is no stranger to controversy. Santos wasn't spelled from Congress after he revealed he made up several aspects of his life story. He was also charged with wire fraud and identity theft. Tom Graham, Fox News.
