Why were new U.S.-Iran peace talks scheduled after a called-off strike?
Renewing negotiations. I'm Sue Guzman, Fox News. The United States and Iran planning a new round of peace talks Monday after President Trump called off another attack targeting energy infrastructure. Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly warned him about the escalating conflict as we hear from Fox's Marianne Rafferty.
The president is already touting progress in negotiations, including the apparent reopening of the vital Strait of Hormuz. Trump claims the attack would have been the biggest since World War II.
How did Saudi leaders reportedly influence the U.S. decision to de-escalate?
He says Iran asked him to call off the strikes, but Tehran so far has not publicly commented. Trump's decision reportedly came after Saudi Arabia's crown prince pushed for de-escalation. The U.S.-Iran ceasefire collapsed last month, disrupting global oil markets, driving up U.S. gas prices, and deepening Iran's economic crisis.
New details from police in Twin Falls, Idaho, on the deadly shooting at a fast food restaurant Saturday.
The restaurant chain owner confirmed one of the victims was an employee.
What new details emerged about the Twin Falls fast-food shooting and suspect?
Police Chief Matthew Hicks did release the name of the shooter and how he died.
We can confirm that the suspect, 24-year-old Chad Williams, is deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Chief Hicks also credited an off-duty Idaho trooper and an armed citizen for engaging the shooter and driving him away from the restaurant before he took his own life. Several victims were injured, some critically. Chief Hicks said it's believed Williams was the only shooter. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
Why is the acting attorney general rescinding the $1.8 billion fund and what are the political stakes?
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announcing Sunday plans to rescind the creation of a $1.8 billion fund designed to compensate those who alleged improper prosecution are targeting by the federal government. This is after two prominent Republicans threatened to block Branch's confirmation to head the agency. Spokesman for Texas Senator John Cornyn confirmed the agreement Sunday and a vote is slated for Tuesday. America's listening to Fox News. With days to go before the deadline for ending his campaign, Republican Ohio Congressman Max Miller is vowing to keep seeking re-election despite ugly allegations of domestic violence. NewsFox's Roger Stern with more.
How are western wildfires affecting Washington and what safety actions were announced?
Miller's ex-wife says he poured hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and broke the collarbone of their toddler daughter. But Miller posted a video on social media denying the charges.
Understand one thing. Every one of these allegations traces back to a single source, my former wife.
Complicating the politics of all this, Miller's former wife happens to be the daughter of Ohio U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno, who now says his ex-son-in-law should not serve in the House of Representatives. A former girlfriend has also accused Miller of abuse. She's former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham. Roger Stern, Fox News.
A state of emergency declared in Washington amid widespread wildfires in the West. More than 600 structures have been burned. The latest from Fox's Kevin Cork.
Crews there continue to battle massive, fast-moving wildfires. And there are new evacuation orders issued in Spokane where tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes. Now, officials say about 250,000 acres... have already been burned. There are hundreds of structures that have also been destroyed. So far, no deaths or injuries. That's certainly good news. But at least three major fires are currently torching Spokane, being fueled, of course, by high winds and extremely dry conditions.
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson says he spoke by phone with President Trump, who promised to make federal resources available. And there is a recall that's been issued now for about 132,000 world-class fireworks skullstroke rockets because they can explode prematurely and can create burn and explosion hazards. The fireworks sold at retailers across the country from March 2025 through June 2026 for 12 to 25 bucks. Fireworks can be returned to the retailer for a refund. I'm Sue Guzman. This is Fox News.
