What is the current status of the U.S. naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz?
What's going on with the Strait of Hormuz? I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. President Trump says the United States has total control over the Strait. Fox's Jonathan Hunt's got the latest from Tel Aviv. The U.S. naval
blockade is still in full effect. President Trump says, quote, I think we will keep it. Our naval blockade is being called by everyone a wall of steel and there is nothing Iran can do about it. Iran shoots back.
How is Iran responding to the U.S. blockade and what are its demands?
It can do plenty about it and says, quote, The Strait of Hormuz, as before, remains under the full management and control of the Islamic Republic of Iran. No commercial vessel or oil tanker can or will be able to transit the Strait safely without the authorization and supervision of Iran's powerful
armed forces. Tehran says the Strait won't reopen until its demands are met. Oil prices remain elevated this week, floating above $81 per barrel as of Thursday. According to a Fox News poll from late July, 66% of registered voters disapprove of President Trump's job performance on Iran. He's facing federal charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson back in 2024. Fox's Brian Yennis. Luigi
Mangione's lawyers and federal prosecutors asked for a last-minute conference tomorrow at 11 a.m.
How do recent Fox News polls reflect public opinion on Trump's Iran policy and his legal issues?
at court as the New York Post and the New York Times report Mangione is expected to plead guilty under a federal deal. Mangione faces two federal interstate stalking charges resulting in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's death carrying a maximum of life in prison without parole. If Mangione accepts the plea deal, it not only cancels the January federal trial, but could also end his state trial set to start on September 8th. The only case where Mangione actually faces a murder
charge. DOJ source tells Fox there's no plea deal. America's listening to Fox News. Well, the Kennedy Center board is moving to restore President Trump's name to the Performing Arts Center. The
Kennedy Center would close for two years with limited events to allow for major renovation work under a plan approved by the Performing Arts Center's board. The board, made up largely of political allies of President Trump, also approved a resolution that would add lettering to the building's facade reading the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts restored and renovated by President Donald J. Trump.
What are the specifics of Luigi Mangione's federal plea deal and the charges he faces?
Both decisions test a federal judge's ruling two months ago that ordered President Trump's name removed from the building and also blocked plans for the closure. It is likely today's decisions will renew those legal challenges. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
The new Fox News polls got Ohio's Republican senator losing to the Democratic nominee looking to make a comeback. Fox's Jessica Rosenthal.
The latest Fox News poll finds Republican Senator John Husted eight points behind Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown, with 97 percent of Democrats saying they back Brown, 87 percent of Republicans saying they back Husted. In the Ohio governor's race, Vivek Ramaswamy is at 50 percent, with the Democrat Amy Acton at 48. And the polling found a willingness to vote a split ticket, with 14 percent of those supporting the Democratic candidate Sherrod Brown for Senate willing to vote for Ramaswamy. Six percent of those supporting the Republican in the Senate race, John Husted, are willing to vote for the Democrat in the governor's race, Amy Acton.
Why is the Kennedy Center board debating the restoration of President Trump's name on the venue?
Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News.
A tropical storm, Lala, is forecast to become a hurricane as it approaches the Big Island of Hawaii on Saturday, bringing with it as much as two feet of rain, according to the National Hurricane Center. A hurricane watch is in effect for the Big Island.
If it makes a landfall, it'll be only the seventh landfalling storm or hurricane in the Hawaiian Islands in about 75 years.
That's Fox Weather's Mike Seidel. The center's forecast calls for La La to become a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 75 miles an hour and higher gusts overnight on August 14th, and that as it moves towards the island. I'm Ted Linder. This is Fox News.
