What details are reported about the U.S. strikes and Iranian air defenses?
Bombing Iran during the day and then for six hours at night. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. Two waves of strikes across Iran.
Some of this information now is coming from Iranian state media, not confirmed by the U.S. Fox's Mike Tobin in Tel Aviv. Air defense is triggered very close to Tehran, showing U.S. forces striking for the north than they have in this round of fighting. Also, barracks for Iran's 388th Mechanized Infantry Brigade were hit. The town of Ranshar to the southeast, that brigade operates tanks and armored vehicles. Also, as part of the blockade, the U.S. is now fired on a commercial ship. U.S. Central Command says the tanker was headed toward Karg Island, Iran's primary oil export hub. The ship ignored multiple warnings. U.S. aircraft fired hellfire missiles into the smokestack and disabled it.
And Iran's been retaliating, launching drones and missiles targeting American bases in Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait.
But President Trump insists... They want to settle so badly, they don't like what we're doing.
Which incidents involved commercial ships and U.S. military responses in the region?
Again, warning if Iran doesn't return to the nuclear negotiations, the U.S. will bomb Iran's bridges and power plants next week. Tonight, the president will make a primetime address at 9 p.m. Eastern. He says he'll focus on election integrity as the president continues to claim there was fraud in the 2020 election he lost. The president's urging Congress to pass new regulations like voter ID and mail-in ballot restrictions, but Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer says... Mr. President, the SAVE Act ain't passing.
It ain't passing in the Senate, it ain't passing with Democrats, and it ain't passing in the courts.
There's a yellowish haze in the sky from the Great Lakes region as smoke from wildfires from Canada and Minnesota spreads all the way to Boston, New York, and Philadelphia, and you can smell it in the air.
We're expecting that air quality to reach unhealthy levels, so a good idea to stay indoors, avoid being outside for long periods of time.
Fox weather's being phony. South Texas keeps dealing with rain up to 30 inches in some areas, leading to flooding. The threat of more today. Roads have been inundated. Cars stuck. People needing rescue. America's leading.

The Senate will hold confirmation hearings today for the nominees to lead the TSA and the Labor Department, and a hearing will continue for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch.
I'm proud of what we've done to help American families see safer streets and to have a fair shot at the life they're working to build.
But Republicans, and especially Democrats, questioned Blanch about the Jeffrey Epstein files and the Trump IRS tax settlement. The Director of National Intelligence nominee also had his confirmation hearing.
Republican Senator Mike Rounds introduced Jay Clayton to the Intelligence Committee.
He made the most of his time in New York by prosecuting some of America's worst enemies and threats to our national security.
Several Democrats, including Georgia Senator John Ossoff, insisted on asking Clayton if he believed President Biden was elected in 2020.
Well, we're going to keep doing it because you're not being honest and forthright. I'm not going to engage in the theater.
Clayton had previously said in the hearing multiple times that he is not an election denier and that President Biden was certified as the winner in 2020. Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News.
We'll get an update to the economy next hour. Retail sales after two reports this week showing a decline in inflation in both consumer and wholesale prices on Wall Street. Stock futures have been lower at Soccer's World Cup.
The final is set. England got on the board first in this one, with Anthony Gordon scoring in the 55th minute. But the defending champions, with their backs against the wall, crawled their way back again.
