Why is Iran refusing to negotiate with the U.S.?
Iran says no to negotiating. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. A top Iranian security official announced on Monday morning that Iran will not negotiate with the U.S. Ali Larajani saying on X that President Trump plunged the region into chaos and that the Iranian nation is defending itself. Officials in the U.S. grow more concerned about retaliatory terrorist attacks on American soil after three were killed in a fatal mass shooting in Texas.
Fox's Chad Pergram. Congressional authorities are bolstering security on Capitol Hill. That likely means additional patrols by Capitol Police and canine searches. Lawmakers were told to alter their routines, but there is no concrete threat to the Capitol. This is all amplified by the mass shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas. The gunman was a naturalized U.S. citizen from Senegal. He was wearing a hoodie which read, quote, property of Allah. Now, concerns about terrorism came at a perilous time. Congress has not funded the Department of Homeland Security in nearly three weeks.
And that is Fox's Chad Pergram there. Meantime, U.S.
What security measures are being taken on Capitol Hill after recent events?
and Israeli attacks on Iran are intensifying. Fox's Nate Foy.
Israel is launching additional airstrikes in Tehran. This comes shortly after rockets were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel. So war rages on across the region. But so far, this has been a phenomenally successful operation from a military perspective for the U.S. and Israel. They've hit over 1,000 Iranian targets, of course. In the opening, they killed Iran's supreme leader based on CIA intelligence. A senior U.S. defense official tells Fox the U.S. is focused on military targets and headquarters, while Israel is doing that, but also regime change.
Israel struck Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Lebanon's health ministry is saying at least 31 people were killed. America's listening to Fox News.

We have more on that deadly mass shooting at a bar in Austin, Texas, Sunday morning. The FBI investigating it as a possible act of terrorism. Three people were killed, including the shooter, 14 others injured. Alex Dorns, the acting FBI special agent in charge of the San Antonio field office.
Obviously, it's still way too early in the process to determine an exact motivation. But there were indicators that on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate potential nexus to terrorism.
Officials say the gunman seen wearing a hoodie that read property of Allah on the front of it. Sources telling Fox three of those hospitalized are in critical condition. Members of Congress are demanding the Trump administration brief them on the situation in Iran. More on that from Fox's Jill Nadeau.
The Senate's going to be hearing from War Department Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others at 3.30 p.m. Eastern Time Tuesday. The House will be getting briefed at about 5. The briefings come as several lawmakers consider a War Powers resolution that would restrain President Trump's attack on Iran. Both the House and Senate had already drafted resolutions long before the strike Saturday. Under the War Powers Act of 1973, The president's supposed to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying troops. Then it requires their withdrawal within 60 to 90 days unless Congress approves an extension.
