Chapter 1: How many Americans have returned from the Middle East amid the conflict?
More Americans make it out of the Middle East. On Lisa Brady, Fox News. The State Department now says more than 17,000 U.S. citizens have returned from the region since Operation Epic Fury began. Not clear yet how many had State Department assistance or were able to use commercial flights as fighting intensifies and expands.
Nearly half of Iran's ballistic missiles and drones have been aimed at the United Arab Emirates. In comparison, the UAE has taken 863 incoming missiles and UAVs, Israel in comparison, 113. Today, two Greek F-16s shot down two Iranian drones off the coast of Cyprus. Fox's Jennifer Griffin, Fox's Trey Yinkst is in Tel Aviv. And as the Israelis are looking east, they're also looking north.
The Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah getting directly involved in the fight, launching more rockets and drones over the border today. Hezbollah and Iran also launching simultaneous attacks on Israel, which is striking back in Beirut. War Secretary Pete Hegseth says Iran's air force and navy are decimated and that the mission won't let up. This was never meant to be a fair fight.
And it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they're down. which is exactly how it should be. A state funeral ceremony for Iran's supreme leader now postponed. The Senate takes a test vote today on a war powers resolution aiming to limit the president's actions in Iran without approval from Congress.
Most Senate Democrats believe the president violated the Constitution by launching strikes without congressional authorization. The Pentagon says the campaign is going according to plan, but Democrats are skeptical. Fox, Chad Pergam on the Hill, many Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, back the president. We did the right thing.
I think passage of a war powers resolution right now would be a terrible, dangerous idea. He says it would empower enemies and kneecap U.S. forces. America is listening to Fox News.
