Evening Edition: President Trump Issues New Warnings for Iran After Pausing Strikes

After the United States put a pause on strikes against Iran, President Donald Trump said that he is prepared to order resumption of “strong military action” against Tehran if negotiations fail, warning they have little time to reach a deal. Benjamin Netanyahu’s Washington visit this week could determine whether Israel joins renewed strikes as the Iran war enters a two-day diplomatic pause. Meanwhile, Iran issued a second warning to Ukraine following what Tehran said was an attack on a vessel in the Caspian Sea. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Iran Program Senior Director and Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the defense of Democracies, who says President Trump still has all options on the table but should focus on what a future Iran would look like.

The Economy, Maine, Georgia, and the Battle for Congress

With the balance of power in the U.S. Senate hinging on key races across the country, candidates are locking into increasingly heated campaigns. In Georgia, incumbent Democrat John Ossoff and his Republican challenger are trading sharp accusations over controversial campaign rhetoric, candidate voting records, and key policy debates. Georgia Congressman Mike Collins, the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate, joins the Rundown to address the race's heated dynamics, outline his vision for the state, and discuss his campaign strategy heading into November. More than a dozen countries have—or are considering—age-based restrictions on social media, and here in America, several states are taking similar action. But is banning teens from social media the answer to keeping kids safe online, or will it give parents a false sense of security? Tech journalist Kurt "The CyberGuy" Knutsson joins Lisa Brady to discuss the global effort to protect kids online—and whether these restrictions will actually work or just drive tech-savvy kids to find backdoors. PLUS, commentary by Jason Rantz, author of What’s Killing America, and the host of The Jason Rantz Show. PHOTO CREDIT: Robert Sullivan via AP Learn more about your ad choices.

Extra: Can Britain’s New Left-Wing Leader Survive Trump? Inside the UK’s Push for Socialism

Britain has named its seventh Prime Minister in ten years, as self-described socialist Andy Burnham takes the helm following Keir Starmer’s exit. What does this leftward pivot mean for the UK's economy, global defense commitments, and its relationship with the United States? Earlier this week on The FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony spoke with FOX News Senior Correspondent Benjamin Hall about Burnham’s ambitious plans to nationalize key industries, decentralize power away from London, and revive 1970s-style economic models. Benjamin Hall discusses what’s behind the socialism’s ‘surge’ in the UK and the political challenges it faces. He also discusses how Burnham could potentially butt heads with President Trump over foreign conflicts, trade and energy policy. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you’d like to hear the entire interview.

Extra: Can Iran Wait Out Trump? Inside Tehran’s Strategy to Suffer & Survive

Is economic pressure enough to break Iran's nuclear ambitions—or can the regime simply wait out the U.S.? As U.S. strikes against Iranian targets continue and tensions escalate across critical global shipping lanes like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb, the conflict entered a pivotal phase this past week. Recently on the FOX News Rundown, host Dave Anthony sat down with Brian Hook, former U.S. Special Representative for Iran and Senior Policy Advisor during the first Trump administration, to break down the complex geopolitical conflict. They examine the economic bottleneck of the crisis and explain why Iran is leveraging asymmetric terrorism to target energy facilities and drive up global oil and gas prices. Hook provided inside context on "Pickaxe Mountain"—detailing what lies more than 350 feet beneath the ground at Iran's heavily fortified underground nuclear facility and whether U.S. bunker-busters can neutralize it. He also shared what he says is the truth behind Iran’s negotiating tactics, their history of violating MOUs, and why Tehran believes its non-democratic regime can outlast American presidential election cycles. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook.
