What happened in the U.S. strikes on Iran and how did Tehran respond?
Back-to-back strikes. I'm Ted Linder, Fox News. The U.S. military hitting Iran with two waves of strikes Wednesday, several days after an interim ceasefire deal was shattered. Tehran leadership is speaking out, claiming they're going to defend themselves.
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson says that the country does not want to negotiate, that they're going to focus on defense, and just the top negotiator in Iran says... There's no benefit for Iran to participate and abide by the memorandum of understanding. It comes as President Trump says he's not going to negotiate further. And he said this about future targets.
Next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges.
What threats did President Trump issue about future targets in Iran?
We're going to knock out all their power plants. We're going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.
The U.S. military carrying out a new wave of strikes hitting dozens of targets and the naval blockade reinstated following Tehran's attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
Fox's Alex Hogan. Meantime, Iran has allowed an American citizen to leave the country. President Trump taking a truce social on Wednesday to make the announcement, saying she was wrongfully detained during the final days of the Biden administration. The president praising her release as a gesture of goodwill by Iran. An attorney for Dina Karari, a U.S. Iranian citizen, confirmed her identity. And the House has passed legislation that could make it so Americans don't have to change their clocks twice a year. The effort would make daylight saving time permanent.
Which Iranian-American was released and what did the White House say about it?
House lawmakers arguing there are mental health benefits, and several industries like retail and tourism support more evening daylight, saying it's good for business. But others are wary. The trade group for the airline says changes to existing daylight saving time would have considerable implications for aviation, including passenger disruption, crew and aircraft positioning, and domestic and international connectivity issues.
That's Fox's Grady Trimble. President Trump says he'll sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.
America's listening to Fox News.
The World Cup final is set for Sunday as Argentina came from behind to break a tie to defeat England Wednesday. The call on Fox as Argentina goes on to win 2-1 in advance of the World Cup final. That'll happen on Sunday afternoon against Spain. The game will be broadcast on Fox. Devastating flooding continues to inundate much of central South Texas, and the rains keep on coming.
What is the House daylight saving time bill and who supports or opposes it?
Warnings of life-threatening flooding across southwest Texas where rising waters are consuming structures and taking over roads in a slow-moving storm that's dropped up to a foot of rain across the region. The highest rainfall in Uvalde County.
It just takes a couple of inches of water on the road to create a dangerous condition for you if you're driving through that. And so we don't want you to get swept away.
West Rappaport, Texas Emergency Management. Over two dozen people have been rescued. Many in washed out vehicles. The state issuing a rare four out of four flooding threat. With more rain expected in Texas in the coming days. Jeff Manasso, Fox News.
And the haze has moved down from Canada, impacting air quality in several American states.
This is all from Canadian wildfire smoke. It's hard to think about the fact that, hey, this has traveled thousands of miles. The bulk of the fire activity where this smoke has originated from is actually from western Ontario.
What were the latest results and schedule update from the World Cup semifinal?
Canada averages about 5,000 to 8,000 wildfires each year. This year, they've been sitting at about 3,137 wildfires. Their annual acreage burned is about 6.2 million acres. And right now, I think they're about four or so million acres.
How are Texas flooding and Canadian wildfire smoke affecting U.S. communities?
But when you think about wildfire smoke in New York City, you obviously immediately go back to 2023, when the city literally looked like you woke up in an alternate universe. Back in 2023, Canada had nearly seven times the yearly average with their wildfires, with acreages burned, with 43.5 million acres in total.
