What new threat did President Trump post about bombing Iranian infrastructure?
A new Trump threat to Iran. I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. The president posted that on Truth Social, writing, from this time forward, anytime Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant.
The president always prefers to negotiate and reach a deal on these things. And we're prepared, willing to do that. We've tried to do that now for a year and a half, but we're also not going to sit by and let ships be blown up or Americans be attacked.
How did U.S. officials and allies respond to escalating strikes near the Strait of Hormuz?
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that this morning at a summit in the Philippines after an 11th straight night of American bombing.
The target list expanding. Deeper strikes inside of Iranian territory along with a variety of positions near to the Strait of Hormuz.
Trey Ingst also reports from Tel Aviv.
The Iranians launched new counterattacks overnight, triggering sirens in Bahrain and Kuwait. The Jordanians also say they shot down a number of incoming Iranian missiles.
Jordan is where three American troops were killed last week. A fourth died in Iraq. And President Trump will be there at Dover Air Force Base next hour when their flag-draped caskets arrive. So we're going to honor them. Telling reporters just minutes ago, it's one of the hardest things he does as president. He's called them patriots carrying out an important mission. Nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Do you want Iran to have a nuclear weapon? Do you think it's good? The president also touted in another Truth Social post a big night of primary wins for MAGA Republicans in Arizona proclaiming Democrats, as he calls them, are dumbfounded. Let's make this the year that we turn Arizona red again.
Andy Biggs won the GOP primary for governor, and then we'll try to unseat Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in November. Another Trump-backed candidate, Mark Lamb, won the GOP primary to replace Biggs.
In the competitive District 1 congressional race, Trump-endorsed former NFL kicker Jay Feeley was nominated for November. In that same race, National Democrats backed Marlene Gallon-Woods, who's currently in second place against Dr. Amish Shah.
Fox's Matt Finn says that race not called yet. America's listening. Think responsibly.

Stocks are mixed so far this morning. The Dow is up 217 points. The S&P 500 is gaining four, but the Nasdaq is down 54 as oil prices rise back up more than 2%. WTI, almost $87 a barrel. That's nearly $20 higher than when July started. Gas is up another nickel today. Triple-A's national average for regular $4.06 per gallon. That's 17 cents more than last Wednesday. Will the government shut down again this fall? House Republicans hope not, already approving a new budget plan.
The government is currently set to run out of money at the end of September, just before the midterm elections, and this stopgap funding measure, which passed the House largely along party lines, aims to avoid an election year shutdown. funding federal agencies at existing levels through December 4th. Democrats who've been demanding overhauls to how ICE officers operate in the field, opposing the measure ahead of the vote, arguing it was drafted without bipartisan negotiation. Though six did join Republicans in advancing the bill, which passed 220 to 205. We could still see another shutdown, however, with an impasse over funding in the Senate, which has a 60 vote threshold. Lillian Wu, Fox News.
This is a big day in France.
