What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Pitting Iran again. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News.
What retaliatory strikes did the Pentagon announce against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz?
The Pentagon Wednesday announced a new round of powerful strikes against Iran in retaliation for attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
After three tankers were struck in the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, the U.S. revoked a license allowing Iran to sell oil as part of the Memorandum of Understanding. Before he left the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, President Trump said he understood the MOU is over, but that full conflict would not resume.
Will we go tonight? You know, normally I wouldn't tell you. I wouldn't tell you, but you know what? There's not a thing they can do about it, so the answer's probably.
CENTCOM then confirmed it had conducted additional strikes against Iran to, quote, further degrade their ability to threaten the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Fox's Jessica Rosenthal, the U.S.
How did President Trump and U.S. leaders describe the end of the memorandum with Iran?
military now says that it ended the latest round of airstrikes after hitting 90 targets. The ruined airstrikes prompting Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to cancel a visit to Israel.
Secretary Hegseth was reportedly set for in-person discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials. The cancellation was confirmed by an Israeli official not long after President Trump declared that the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran was over and missile attacks began again. Also said to be part of the meeting between Hegseth and Netanyahu was the potential sale of F-35 jets with stealth technology to Turkey. Netanyahu has publicly said he's against that sale. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.
And as expected, Graham Platner announced that he plans to withdraw from the U.S. Senate race in Maine after facing an allegation of sexual assault.
As many of you know, over the past couple of days, I have faced some very serious allegations. And I just want to make it clear, this is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real.
The main Democrat party expected to hold a convention to replace Platner.
America's listening to Fox News.
No prison time for a former Wisconsin judge convicted of obstructing ICE agents last year.
Former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan is spared a prison sentence, even probation, receiving only a $5,000 fine after jurors convicted her last year of obstructing federal immigration agents for helping an illegal immigrant in her court on a battery charge dodge the ICE agents. Dugan addressed the court for the first time ahead of sentencing, saying in part that she's a public servant who was just trying to do her job. Federal prosecutors sought over a year in prison for Dugan, arguing she abused the authority of her office to interfere with federal law enforcement. Jeff Manasso, Fox News.
Oil prices creeping up again after the U.S. and Iran exchanged a new round of attacks. Fox Business' Edward Lawrence with more details from the White House.
Gas prices overnight, they remain the same here in the United States, holding steady. But WTI oil prices, they are inching up.
What did CENTCOM and officials report about the scale and targets of the airstrikes?
Now, it seems Iran pushed President Trump too far. So now Operation Economic Fury is being reinstated. The U.S. Treasury Department revoked licenses for other countries and companies to buy Iranian oil. There are still sanctions, strict sanctions on Iran, and all the frozen assets for Iran remain frozen. Now, the New York Federal Reserve President John Williams says that oil inflation and the economy are all connected. So if oil prices rise, that puts pressure on inflation possibly rising, which in turn could have the Federal Reserve increasing interest rates.
President Trump suggested that more U.S. strikes could be coming. He believes negotiators are wasting their time. And authorities in southern China saying Thursday that 39 people have died in flooding from Tropical Storm Maysak. As Taiwan and China's east coast brace for another major storm expected to make landfall in the coming days, most of the deaths related to the breach of a dam in an area east of the city of Nanning.
