All right, we're now 15 seconds into my
show. Thank you, Jesse. Good evening.
I'm Brett Bear. Secretary of State Marco
Rubio meets Pope Leo at the Vatican
after tense exchanges between the pontiff and President Trump.
A major drug bust in one of the most famous parks in Los Angeles comes amid the
heated mayoral race there.
We'll bring you there.
And the Senate bans members and aids from betting in prediction markets.
But first, breaking tonight. The US has carried out strikes on a key port in Iran, the Bander Cargan Naval Checkpoint and the city of Bandar Abbas.
US Central Command says those attacks were in self-defense.
The strikes come days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at a port in the United Arab Emirates.
A senior US official telling Fox today's action does not constitute a break in the ceasefire.
This comes amid Israeli worries that a potential peace deal between the US and Iran, depending how it's structured, could make the Islamic Republic a stronger enemy over time.
We have Fox Team coverage. Ashley
Webster looks at the Israeli angle from Tel Aviv.
But we begin with senior White House correspondent Jackie Hinrich live from the North Lawn.
Good evening, Jackie.
>> Good evening, Brett. A lot here that just came in tonight.
The US carried out strikes that you mentioned on Iran's Keshum port and Bandar Abbas.
Uh but a senior US official is telling Fox that
the war is not restarting.
The ceasefire is still in place.
And Sentcom says that
US forces intercepted Iranian attacks um and carried out self-defense strikes
after Iranian forces launched drones, missiles, and small boats at multiple US Navy guided missile destroyers that were moving through the straight of Hormuz.
They say no US assets were hit and Sentcom called Iran's attacks unprovoked.
But it comes as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait just reopened their airspace to the US military after briefly closing it.
Worried that President Trump's plan to escort ships through the strait would put them in danger.
So what happens next with that operation, Project Freedom, is still unclear.
It's still unclear if President Trump intends to resume the escort plan after claiming it was paused to give negotiations a chance.
Today, Iran's foreign ministry saying this. did go.
>> We have their proposal under review.
As soon as we finalize, our response will be shared with the Pakistani mediator.
>> Trump expressed optimism Wednesday.
This round of talks may produce a different result and heaped praise on the naval blockade as effective leverage.
But according to the Washington Post, the CIA assesses Iran could survive three to four more months before real economic hardship sets in.
>> It wouldn't surprise me if they can figure out a way to keep their economy running for months and months.
We've seen Chairman Kim do it in North Korea.
We've seen they they'll put their own people in absolute poverty and protect themselves uh at any cost and they'll
kill people if they have to to do it.
>> The White House not confirming the analysis or responding to the claim Iran
has 75% of its mobile missile launchers and 70% of its missile stockpile intact.
The president gave a different picture yesterday.
>> Their missiles are mostly decimated.
They have some they have probably 18 19%
but uh not a lot by comparison to what they had.
A White House official tells Fox in part, "During Operation Epic Fury, Iran was crushed militarily.
Their ballistic missiles are destroyed.
Their production facilities are dismantled.
Their navy is sunk and their proxies are weakened.
Now they're being strangled economically.
The Iranian regime knows full well their current reality is not sustainable.
And President Trump holds all the cards as negotiators work to make a deal.
And we never saw President Trump today despite initial plans for his meeting with Brazil's president to be open to reporters.
President Lula later said he personally requested no media at that meeting which means that we have not heard from President Trump about the latest uh state of these Iran talks since yesterday.
