Are U.S. military strikes against Iran paused and what options is the White House considering?
A bit of a cool-off. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. U.S. military strikes against Iran have paused at least for now. Trey Inks updates from Tel Aviv.
The White House is making clear the military option remains on the table as President Trump considers solutions that are both... using force and diplomacy. White House communications director Stephen Chung told Fox News Digital that President Trump has always been consistent in saying he prefers a diplomatic solution, but he continues to retain all options if Iran continues terrorist activities in the Strait of Hormuz or against allies. Chung went on to say it would be wise for Iran to work towards a negotiated deal. Otherwise, they know what will happen. The US naval blockade remains in effect as the economic pressure is being felt inside of Iran.
And again, Fox's Trey Yinks.
How is the U.S. using diplomatic pressure and a naval blockade against Iran?
Meantime, peace talks moving forward. Iran saying officials have held several rounds of talks with Oman about issues concerning these straits of Hormuz. Authorities in Germany canceling a popular pride festival yesterday after a car ran through its festivities. Chandli Painter with more.

Going to be a hot one across the middle of the country. Some of these daytime highs, 100 in Kansas City, 102 in Dallas, 101 in Denver, pushing 100 as far north as Fargo. We're going to see plenty of spots cross the 100-degree marker, and those could be record-breaking highs from Texas to Wyoming, Colorado, some of these areas. 100, 105 degrees. Those would all be record-breaking highs today. That does linger into your work week as we see this area of high pressure bringing temperatures basically up around 100 degrees for the next three days.
