Why is the U.S. warning Americans in the Middle East to leave after Trump signals more airstrikes on Iran?
A warning to leave. I'm Carmen Roberts, Fox News. The U.S. is telling Americans in the Middle East to leave after President Trump said more airstrikes against Iran are coming. Fox's Madeline Rivera has more.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt was blunt about this. She says Iran will continue to pay until they come to the table in what President Trump deems a meaningful way. So the president is leaning towards striking Iran until they capitulate.
We'll be hitting them. We'll be hitting them very hard. At some point, they're going to say, we just can't take it anymore.
Of course, the president authorized the new attack plan as he held a cabinet meeting at Camp David yesterday. Per Axios, the president is considering energy and infrastructure facilities as potential targets. Israel could also join in on the attacks for the first time in many weeks. But the president has not made a final decision.
What new U.S. attack plan against Iran is being considered and what targets are mentioned?
And any immediate progress on the diplomatic front could convince him to change his mind.
And Iran's foreign minister warns any adventurous actions by the U.S. will be met with severe consequences. It has been six months since someone kidnapped Nancy Guthrie.
Now the Pima County Sheriff is releasing two ransom notes. The first note that was sent February 2nd says this in part, quote, We will be holding her for a maximum of seven days. You will need to send Bitcoin in the amount of $4 million before 5 p.m. on Thursday the 5th. If payment is not received, the ransom will be increased to $6 million, which will need to be paid by 5 p.m. on Monday the 9th. If payment is not received by the last deadline on Monday the 9th at 5 p.m., she will be killed. A second note sent days later said this in part, quote, Guthrie family, we did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition. We never intended to hurt her.
How is Iran responding to U.S. threats and what diplomatic options could change the plan?
That was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken. We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace. We are truly sorry.
America's listening to Fox News. Spanish authorities step up measures to block another surge of migrants into Ceuta by installing a 1,600-foot floating barrier. They say a crossing stopped overnight following a rush that killed at least 67 people. A twice-deported illegal immigrant in the U.S. is about to be deported again. Authorities say 38-year-old Mexican Martin Martinez Baez has a prior felony conviction stemming from a 2017 car crash that killed U.S. Marine Lance Corporal James Walden III.
The father of Lance Corporal James Walden III is reliving the pain of losing his son nearly a decade ago. After learning the illegal immigrant convicted of the deadly hit and run that killed him is now set to be deported for a third time. Walden's father says the man should never have been in the country to begin with. James Walden II spoke to Griff Jenkins on The Will Cain Show. The day he killed Jimmy, he was driving with no license, no insurance, driving recklessly. Doing 65 miles an hour in a 30 mile an hour road, the twisty turny road. He lost control and he hit Jimmy on his motorcycle head on. A 21-year-old Marine James Walden was stationed at Fort Meade. His family says he was a young man ready to serve his country.
Fox's Lauren Green reporting. And Louisiana says starting now, no more balloon releases.
The law targets litter and environmental hazards and prohibits the intentional release of helium balloons in the state of Louisiana, making it one of a dozen states to do so. Releasing 12 or more at once is classified as illegal littering and it carries fines ranging from $500 to $2,500. There are exceptions for indoor and accidental releases as well as scientific weather balloons. State lawmakers pushed the ban to protect local waterways and harm to wildlife. Almost two years ago, New Orleans passed a ban on Mylar balloon releases after metallic balloons compromised utility lines. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News. And I'm Carmen Roberts, and this is Fox News.
