What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Operation Epic Fury. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. President Trump continues to launch strikes against Iran. Fox's Nate Foy is in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Iran and its proxies are responding to those U.S. military strikes on Karg Island.
What military actions is President Trump taking against Iran?
We have seen six Iranian ballistic missile attacks here at Israel. We've also seen some action from its proxies in Iraq. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad came under fire this morning as the embassy is telling Americans to evacuate the country. That missile struck the helipad at the facility, and the Iranian-backed militia group Qataib Hezbollah has fired on this complex several times during the war. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command says it destroyed naval mine storage facilities and ballistic missile supplies on Karg Island. President Trump says if Iran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will take out the oil infrastructure on the island, which would bring whatever's left of Iran's economy to a halt.
How are Iranian forces responding to U.S. military strikes?
President Trump told NBC he is hearing Iran's new supreme leader, Moshtaba Khamenei, may already be dead. The president added he is unsure whether the new Iranian leader is still living. There's been no official confirmation as to the status or whereabouts of Khamenei. Americans have been concerned about the recent gas prices that have been increasing since Operation Epic Fury began. White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt joined MyView with Lara Trump, sending a message to the American people worried about prices at the pumps. Here's Leavitt.
We understand your concerns. We hear you and we are taking them into account and we have a plan to address them. And this is a temporary short term disruption in global oil prices that the president is ultimately going to rectify by wiping out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.
Levitt also said that President Trump has addressed the rise of prices by rolling out a plethora of solutions to address the issue. America's listening to Fox News.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright is ordering a pipeline in the Golden State to reopen despite pushback from California's Governor Gavin Newsom. Fox's Marianne Rafferty.
This is a state that used to provide 40% of the total U.S. oil production. The pipeline that we're talking about is located near Santa Ynez. It was shut down in 2015. after an oil spill that contaminated the coastline with more than 142,000 gallons of crude. Now, that caused $3 million in damage for the state. But a Texas-based company, Sable Offshore, bought that pipeline from ExxonMobil back in 2024. But Governor Gavin Newsom saying no. No way. He says, quote, Trump knew his war with Iran would raise gas prices. Now he wants to illegally resurrect a pipeline shut down by courts and facing criminal charges. And it won't even cut prices. I refuse to let Trump sacrifice Californians, our environment or our 51 billion dollar coastal economy.
President Trump signed an executive order Friday invoking the Defense Production Act to increase production of U.S. oil. Severe storm threats are building for Sunday across the central U.S. and east with a risk of damaging winds and tornadoes Sunday into Monday. Fox Weather's Haley Myers reports.
Extending all the way from southern Michigan down to the tip of Florida. And it's all due to this Arctic front. And this cold front is going to be a trigger for damaging winds, especially in the mid-Mississippi River Valley.
Winter storm watches and warnings are in effect from the northern Rockies to the upper Midwest and northern Great Lakes. Blizzard warnings have already been issued for portions of Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and South Dakota. Extensive warnings are in effect for the Des Moines area and central, northern and eastern counties, including Polk, Story, Marshall and Dallas. Minnesota's southern and western regions are under warnings as a storm is expected to dump significant snow with winds up to 60 miles per hour.
