What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Week two. I'm Daria Albinger. Fox News. Israel and Iran continue to trade attacks as Operation Epic Fury enters a second week.
What recent developments are occurring between Israel and Iran?
Fox's Trey Yinkst is in Tel Aviv.
Significant Israeli strikes overnight targeting Iran's oil infrastructure on the outskirts of the city. Four separate oil storage facilities were hit in these strikes. Israel's prime minister says these types of attacks will continue as the Iranians are still striking regional countries and Israel. The Iranians are still launching new attacks against Israel. They have fired a number of ballistic missiles toward the country today. One of those missiles had a cluster munition on top. It broke apart in the skies above this city and rained down below. There were more than a dozen different impact locations, according to Israeli police, and a number of people were wounded by shrapnel.
The U.S. is also continuing to strike Iran. President Trump dismissed the importance of reports that Russia may have helped Iran target the U.S. military. The president spoke with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer today. Fox's Stephanie Bennett is in London.
They discussed their military cooperation, the current situation in the Middle East. And the PM also offered his condolences after those six brave American soldiers lost their lives in combat. The UK is sending additional resources. But President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social yesterday saying, quote, That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer. We don't need them any longer. But we will remember we don't need people that join wars after we've already won. Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not respond directly, but told the Sunday Mirror today, at moments like this, the country needs seriousness, not political games, adding his government is focused on protecting British people at home and abroad.
The U.K. is now allowing the U.S. to use its bases in the Mideast for what it calls defensive purposes. Kansas City International Airport was evacuated this morning over reports of a potential threat. Officials have given the all-clear sign since. America's listening to Fox News.

At least eight people are dead, four of them in Michigan after tornadoes tore across parts of the country. Fox Weather's Haley Meyer in Union City, Michigan.
This was the earliest an EF3 has ever been reported in the state, earliest in terms of calendar year, with a tornado hitting on March 6th. Residents captured plenty of video of this tornado as it happened in the peak of the afternoon, just tearing up entire neighborhoods as it went through, sending debris flying thousands of feet into the air. Now, at this point, they know where everybody is. But the unfortunate part of the story is we're just now getting into the heart of severe weather season. And this same area is under a level one out of five threat for severe storms on Tuesday afternoon, Tuesday evening.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has declared a state of emergency. Tornadoes also killed people in Oklahoma. The NYPD says an incendiary device deployed at a protest yesterday outside Gracie Mansion. The New York City mayor's residence was not a fake, nor was it a smoke bomb. It says the device was real and that it could have caused serious injuries or death. Self-described white supremacist Jake Lang organized the protest, which New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani says was rooted in bigotry and racism.
How is the U.S. responding to the Middle East tensions?
Mamdani says violence at a protest is never acceptable. It's now been six weeks, if you're counting, since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Authorities have no real leads. They are asking neighbors about home cameras that may not have been running. When Guthrie was taken from her home, that was back on February the 1st. Guthrie is the mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie. There is a reward for her return. Guthrie is expected to return to the Today Show at some point, but there's no word when that is going to be.
