What recent U.S. strikes and military options against Iran are being reported?
It's what President Trump warned he'd do. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News, hitting Iran with another night of bombing. You know, we got to smack them a little bit. He also had warned that Iran would take a beating for trying to attack a base in Jordan, and U.S. Central Command says they completed a heavy wave of strikes. Fox's Peter Doocy reports from the White House.
The president has been presented an option by the head of CENTCOM to go big and escalate strikes. According to the Wall Street Journal, the idea behind Admiral Brad Cooper's high-end option is to go beyond the smaller retaliatory airstrikes that have done little to deter Tehran from threatening ships in the Strait of Hormuz and lobbing missiles at American forces in the region by sharply escalating the war.
Speaking of escalating, China may get involved, according to Reuters.
The Chinese company that is reportedly going to provide Iran with at least 400 shoulder-fired missiles over land.
How could China’s reported weapons shipments to Iran change the regional threat?
And these are missiles, manpads that are used to shoot down helicopters and jets. The same type of missile that shot down that U.S. plane earlier this year over southwestern Iran.
Fox's Trey Yingst in Tel Aviv. Iran has targeted more ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and two natural gas sites were hit by drones off the Egyptian coast. But oil prices are down a bit this morning. We also, later this hour, are going to get another inflation update, but it's for June. When oil and gas prices have been falling, they have recently risen back up. A vote was planned today in the Senate, and it's been postponed. As two Republicans fell out of favor with President Trump, voice concerns about the acting Attorney General.
What are the latest developments affecting oil prices and inflation updates?
Republicans John Cornyn and Tom Tillis say they want more assurances about President Trump's settlement with the IRS before voting to advance Todd Blanch's nomination out of the Judiciary Committee to a full Senate confirmation vote. The president dropped a $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax returns in exchange for a later scrap plan to compensate people claiming political prosecution and ending existing Trump family tax audits. Blanch signed off on the deal as acting attorney general.
That's Fox's Chris Foster.

The Senate committee plans to vote next week to consider a resolution to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress, wanting to refer a potential criminal case against the ex-presidential COVID advisor to the Justice Department, following a tense hearing when Fauci refused to testify, saying at the start the committee chair, Rand Paul, was obsessed with prosecuting him and... His publicly releasing... My unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me.
Dr. Anthony Fauci declined to answer questions as he was grilled by Republicans for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Hearing led by Senator Rand Paul, who subpoenaed Fauci, accusing him of lying about the origins of COVID, saying it came from a Chinese lab that he says Fauci funded.
Why is the Senate considering contempt charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci?
Ask forgiveness and pledge to help our government devise safeguards so a man-made epidemic never happens again. Democrats defending Fauci saying there's no evidence supporting allegations that Fauci intentionally misled Congress or funded prohibited research that caused the pandemic. Jeff Manasso, Fox News.
