What is the latest status of the Iran‑Oman deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz?
Trying to work out a deal to open up the Strait of Hormuz. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. Iran and Oman are said to be close to an agreement as President Trump demands the attacks on ships end, saying in a Las Vegas rally he prefers a deal.
We were set for the biggest attack. Of any attack, and we've hit them very hard for the last few months.
Amid the possibility of a return to conflict with Iran if an agreement isn't reached, President Trump posted at True Social overnight about reports the United States is running out of air defense interceptors. The president said, in part, the U.S. has massive amounts of munitions, especially of certain types. He goes on to say, additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S.
How is President Trump responding to reports that the U.S. is running low on air‑defense interceptors?
as needed.
Fox's Trey Engston, Tel Aviv. Two Israeli soldiers have been killed in Lebanon. A building they went into as part of a security sweep exploded. Four other soldiers badly wounded, prompting Israel to launch retaliatory strikes targeting Hezbollah militants. Back to the president in Las Vegas. He also touted what he calls a great economy.
And I'm not getting credit from the fake news for what I've done. I never have gotten credit.
Why did two Israeli soldiers die in Lebanon and what retaliation is Israel planning?
I don't get that.
And he calls fake polls showing a large majority of Americans think the economy is not in good shape and oppose the president's handling of the economy. A Senate committee will gather next hour to consider holding ex-presidential advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. Fox's Madeline Rivera in Washington.
Republicans say Dr. Fauci should have been able to answer questions during his hearing last week because of his preemptive pardon from former President Biden. But the pardon only covers what happened before 2025, meaning Fauci could face charges for any perjury committed last Wednesday. So he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times, accusing Chairman Rand Paul of having a vendetta against him.
To get me to say something. Anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars.
What are the accusations against Dr. Anthony Fauci and could he be held in contempt of Congress?
A contempt resolution could be referred to the Justice Department. America's listening to Fox. While President Trump keeps insisting he will not let Iran get nuclear weapons, another American adversary that already has them, North Korea, has launched another missile test into the sea. South Korea says it was a short-range ballistic missile. Meanwhile, in Japan, they are marking an atomic anniversary.
81 years ago today, the United States detonated an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, Japan, hastening an end to the Second World War, but killing as many as 166,000 people. Mokto! Today's ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park was attended by Prime Minister Sane Takaichi, who said she'd take realistic, practical initiatives towards achieving a world without nuclear weapons. Hiroshima's mayor, Kazumi Matsui, criticised major powers for waging wars and demanded an end to the concept of nuclear deterrence.
How is Japan commemorating the 81st anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing?
Jonathan Savage, Fox News.
On Sunday, they'll mark the anniversary of the second atomic bombing in Nagasaki, Japan. There's a ruling in a gun case. It could end up at the Supreme Court.
A Texas federal judge ruled that regulations under the National Firearms Act can no longer be enforced after Congress eliminated the law's tax on suppressors and certain firearms. The decision could end federal registration requirements for silencers, short-barreled rifles, and shotguns, while standard federal background checks would still apply. Gun rights groups hailed the ruling as a major Second Amendment victory, while gun safety advocates warned it removes an important layer of public safety protections. Ted Linder, Fox News.
On Wall Street, stock futures are mixed, just like yesterday.
What does the new Texas federal judge ruling mean for National Firearms Act regulations and gun owners?
Down for the Nasdaq, up for the Dow, which closed at another record high. In baseball, the two-time defending World Series champion Dodgers keep losing. L.A. 's dropped six straight games, beaten again by the Chicago Cubs. Atlanta and Boston have won seven in a row. The Braves beat the Marlins.
