Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Not ready yet. I'm Pam Husso, Fox News. Iran's foreign minister has told state media Tehran welcomes any initiative to end the war, but President Trump has said he isn't ready to make a deal yet. This as the war enters a third week. Iran and its proxies are responding to those U.S. military strikes on Karg Island. We have seen six Iranian ballistic missile attacks here at Israel.
Chapter 2: What is the current situation regarding the Iran conflict?
We've also seen some action from its proxies in Iraq. The U.S. embassy in Baghdad came under fire this morning as the embassy is telling Americans to evacuate the country. That missile struck the helipad at the facility, and the Iranian-backed militia group Kataib Hezbollah has fired on this complex several times during the war. Meanwhile, U.S.
Central Command says it destroyed naval mine storage facilities and ballistic missile supplies on Karg Island. President Trump says if Iran doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will take out the oil infrastructure on the island, which would bring whatever's left of Iran's economy to a halt. That's Fox's Nate Foy. Gas prices continue to spike amid the ongoing conflict.
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt. We understand your concerns. We hear you and we are taking them into account and we have a plan to address them. And this is a temporary short term disruption in global oil prices that the president is ultimately going to rectify by wiping out the rogue Iranian terrorist regime.
Yesterday, President Trump said he hopes China, France, Japan, South Korea, the U.K., and others send warships to the region to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and safe. Britain says it's discussing a range of options with allies to secure the shipping channel. A warning from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad for Americans to leave.

Chapter 3: How is the U.S. responding to the attacks on its embassy in Baghdad?
Fox's Marianne Rafferty is in Los Angeles with the details. Energy Secretary Chris Wright ordered the pipeline to restart after an executive order signed by President Trump Friday aimed at addressing supply disruptions nationwide. That order ignores California's strict green energy policies that have led to more than 60 percent of oil in the Golden State.
coming from overseas through the Strait of Hormuz, where oil tankers currently are having a hard time getting through due to the war in Iran. In a statement, Wright's saying the Trump administration remains committed to putting all Americans and their energy security first.
Unfortunately, some state leaders have not adhered to those same principles with potentially disastrous consequences, not just for residents, but also for national security. California gas prices are among the highest in the nation. AAA says they're at about $5.50 a gallon on average. A major winter storm is hitting the upper Midwest while a heat wave blankets the Southwest.
Millions of Americans coast to coast are bracing for extreme weather. Blizzard warnings are in effect across the Midwest and Great Lakes region. Heavy snow is forecast from Montana to Michigan. Some parts of Michigan could see nearly three feet and winds could reach up to 70 miles per hour. A bitter blast of Arctic air will follow early next week, impacting more than 230 million people.
Meantime, a heat dome will bake the southwest. Temperatures in Phoenix are forecast to hit 107 degrees. That's Fox's Chanley Painter.
