What new developments occurred in U.S.-Iran tensions and the president's planned speech?
A sixth night of airstrikes on Lisa Brady. Fox News, the latest wave of strikes on Iran launched this afternoon, even as White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt says the president is always open to diplomacy.
Iran very much continues to talk to the United States of America and express that they want to make a deal with us because they are suffering devastating blows on behalf of our United States military.
Though publicly Iran remains defiant, with a military spokesman calling it a red line for the U.S. to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz, the White House says a speech tonight will focus on election security and that no one should prejudge it.
The president plans to reveal newly declassified intelligence assessments about vulnerabilities to election systems during 2020.
It will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight and everything he is saying will be backed by facts and by evidence.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitz says President Trump will also remark on intensifying attacks on Iran and the economy. Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer warns tonight's speech is not about 2020.
It's about undermining the 2026 election before a single vote has been cast.
Dozens of recounts, court cases, and audits of the 2020 election have found no widespread fraud.
Fox's Jared Halpern at the White House.
What were the initial findings and reactions about the sightseeing helicopter crash in New York?
You can hear special coverage of the president beginning at 9 Eastern tonight at foxnewsradio.com. Federal safety investigators confirming the remains of several geese were found on the wreckage of a sightseeing helicopter that crashed in New York City last year, killing a family of five from Spain and the pilot.

What is the scope and human impact of the deadly Texas flooding this week?
Please drink responsibly.
Texas flooding turns deadly in a region still recovering from last year's deadly flooding.
The Kirk County Sheriff's Office confirming at least one person has died after days of heavy rain and flooding in Texas Hill Country, where more than 100 people died in floods last year.
This morning there was about 200,000 cubic feet per second of water coming through the Guadalupe, which was significantly higher than last year.
Kendall County Judge Shane Stolarczyk. Texas Governor Greg Abbott says more than 70 people have been rescued, and flight crews completed four hoist rescues from a rooftop in Gillespie County this morning.
We do not anticipate additional heavy pockets of rain at this time through this afternoon, so we do expect the receding of the water.
How are Canadian wildfires and Midwest smoke affecting air quality across North America?
Kendall County Emergency Management Coordinator Brady Constantine.
Fox's Christian Goodwin, but some rivers are still rising with more rain in the forecast. At least 17 states have air quality alerts because of smoke from Canada, where a wildfire fight continues.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says 150 fire crews and nearly 50 firefighting aircraft are working around the clock to extinguish these fires. Toronto is under an air quality warning as the air is considered very unhealthy to breathe. It can be dangerous even for a young and healthy person to exert themselves too much in this air. The city has closed all outdoor pools and has moved many summer camps indoors. And Canadians, of course, are keeping a close eye on these wildfires and an even closer eye on their neighbors.
Fox is Asher Redd in Toronto. There are also wildfires burning in northern Minnesota, prompting campsite evacuations, and the combined smoke blowing from the upper Midwest more than 1,000 miles to New York City, up to New England, and down to Washington, D.C. A tech sell-off leads Wall Street lower, the Dow dropping more than 100 points, the S&P down 38, the Nasdaq down 387.
