How many U.S. service members were killed as tensions with Iran escalated?
More death in Iran. I'm Ted Lindner. Fox News sent common outs in the deaths of four U.S. troops this weekend as the U.S. and Iran continue to trade fire in a dispute over the Strait of Hormuz. Fox's Marion Rafferty with the latest for us this morning.
Fears of a wider war continue to grow. It comes as another U.S. service member was killed in the line of duty this weekend during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone in northern Iraq. A separate Iranian attack on Friday killed two other U.S. troops in Jordan. A third went missing, but unidentified remains have since been found. The U.S. has been targeting everything from IRGC forces to air defense facilities and weapon storage sites.
In time, President Trump says the latest round of strikes were in honor of the dead service members.
What details emerged about the controlled detonation of an Iranian drone in Iraq?
They've got very little left. They've got some missiles. They've got some drones. They've got some manufacturing ability, not much. We control these straight. They don't control anything. So we'll see what happens. But we hit them very hard again tonight.
Meantime, Bahrain signing its missile alert systems this morning. Kuwait saying its air defenses are working to intercept incoming Iranian fire as well. There's a new FIFA World Cup champion.
And with the last chance of the game, he'll lift his ball forward. Simon thought about coming, stays at home. It's knocked down and only finds Ferran Torres. His final touch of the game.
How did President Trump and officials describe recent U.S. strikes and Iranian capabilities?
He had the decisive touch as well. Spain, for the second time in their history, have won the World Cup.
That call on Fox Sports. Spain defeating the champions. Argentina 1-0 in extra time at the stadium in New Jersey. NORAD says more than 10 aircraft entered restricted airspace over Bedminster and East Rutherford in New Jersey Sunday.
What is in the House Republican budget reconciliation package and why now?
The restrictions in place as the president made his way from his property in Bedminster to the site of the World Cup. Of those 10, NORAD said it had to dispatch F-16 fighter aircraft to intercept three of them. America's listening to Fox News.

House Republicans are moving forward with a budget reconciliation package that includes funding for the ongoing war in Iran, national defense, and voter regulations. Texas Republican Congressman Jody Arrington says it's time for Congress to act.
We have to get started now because the window's closing. We have about 100 days left before November, and these are the two policy imperatives that we must advance.
The budget reconciliation bill contains portions of the election integrity legislation known as the Save America Act, including grants encouraging states to adopt voter identification requirements. A vote to end military aid to Israel exposing a rift in the Democratic Party.
Fox's Chad Pergram with more. Democratic Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman threatening to desert his party if the party deserts Israel. The left says the party simply represents where its voters stand.
Which domestic incidents and personal news headlines closed the newscast?
Even Democrats who favor the aid pin the change on Israel. Missouri Democrat Wesley Bell opposed cutting off money to Israel. He faces Israel skeptic Cori Bush in next month's primary. Pro-Israel Republicans worry about the Democrats' anti-Israel tie. Fetterman says Democrats need him, especially if Democrats flip four seats to claim the majority. If Fetterman bolts, he could swing Senate control to the GOP.
What were the World Cup results and related security airspace alerts in New Jersey?
