Jared Halpern
President Trump says he expects to have a long conversation with President Xi Jinping about the war in Iran.
President Donald Trump
He's been a friend of mine. He's been somebody that we get along with. And I think you're going to see that good things are going to happen. This is going to be a very exciting trip.
Jared Halpern
China is a major buyer of Iranian oil and the administration has sought to use Beijing to pressure Iran to make a peace deal. Still, before leaving the White House, President Trump said he is not asking for China to intervene in negotiations, adding the US doesn't need any help with Iran. At the White House, Jared Halpern, FOX News.

Tensions are rising between the US And Iran again after President Trump determined the ceasefire is on life support. Fox's Trey Yings is in Tel Aviv.
Pete Hegseth
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Capitol Hill today told lawmakers the United States has a plan if escalation with Iran is necessary. The Middle east is bracing for the possibility that the region returns to war in the days ahead. The speaker of Iran's Parliament, Mohamed Kalibaef posted to X saying our armed forces are ready to deliver a well deserved response to any aggression. Mistaken strategy and mistaken decisions will always lead to mistaken results. The whole world has already figured this out. We are prepared for all options. They will be surprised. The threatening language comes after President Trump rejected the Iranian response to the US Peace proposal, calling it a piece of garbage.

The tensions come as Pentagon officials say the war with Iran has cost at least $29 billion. Denver airport workers initially missed a security breach by a man who scaled an eight foot perimeter fence and crossed a Runway where he was hit and killed by a plane with 231 people on board. The 41 year old entered the airport and crossed the Runway as a Frontier Airlines plane attempted to take off. The medical examiner says he died by suicide. America's listening to Fox News.

another former cruise ship passenger has tested positive for hantavirus.
Jonathan Savage
The Spanish citizen was evacuated from the cruise ship at the center of the outbreak on Sunday. All 13 Spanish nationals on board are now quarantining at a military hospital in Madrid. The number of people infected with the potentially deadly virus is now 11, with three deaths. The world Health Organization says there are no signs of a larger outbreak. It's thought the disease was brought on board by a Dutch couple who'd been bird watching in Argentina and came into contact with infected rat droppings. Jonathan Savage, FOX News Secretary of War
Chris DiMeo
Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kaine pressed by House appropriation committee members today on the Iran war, including the costs.
Jennifer Griffin
Well, this was supposed to be an opportunity for Secretary Hegseth and General Kaine to defend the President's request for a whopping $1.5 trillion military budget, which is 44% bigger than last year. Instead, appropriators from both parties expressed frustration that they don't know how much the Iran war has really cost. The new estimated cost of the war is $29 billion, $4 billion more than the comptroller told Congress two weeks ago. Lawmakers wanted to know why the US Milit been able to open the Strait of Hormuz.

That's Fox's Jennifer Griffin. Austin, Texas, will pay $35 million to three men in the family of a fourth who were wrongly accused of the 1991 rape and murder of four teenage girls at a yogurt shop. Robert Springsteen, Michael Scott, Forrest Welburn and Maurice Pierce had all insisted they were innocent. They were finally declared innocent by a judge in February after investigators determined the crime was committed by a suspect who died in 1999. New DNA science analyzed in 2025 pointed to another man, Robert Eugene Brashers, as the sole killer. I'm Chris DiMeo. This is Fox News.
