A hazmat incident at the Pentagon on Lisa Brady, FOX News. The Pentagon just confirming a hazardous materials investigation first reported by fire officials in Arlington, Virginia. They are monitoring the situation and telling people to avoid the area as a precaution.

Right now it is an indication alarm that there's hazardous material, but we have not received any confirmation that there's actually hazardous material in the building.

[Lisa Brady]

Fox's Lucas Tomlinson at the White House.

[Lucas Tomlinson]

We have a statement that just came out from the Pentagon, from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnass. I'll read it for our audience. It says, quote, the Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. These systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures. Until we determine its significance, the department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter in place for the affected area. Response teams are in place and ready to support the building.

[Lisa Brady]

So again, at this point, there's no confirmation of anything hazardous found, only a device picking up a biohazardous scent. And the Pentagon's hazmat team is investigating Iran's top negotiator just posting a warning about wrong strategies and impulsive decisions. This as President Trump threatens a third night of strikes.

[Fox News Military Correspondent]

Overnight, the US Military unleashed powerful strikes against the Iranian regime. According to US Central Command, Iranian military surveillance sites and air defense systems were hit along with a number of radar positions.

A trio of rulings just out from the US Supreme Court relating to how bankruptcy proceedings should work in Keith Lee versus Buddy Ayers.

[Supreme Court Analyst]

The court sided with Keith Lee, who was accused of failing to disclose a personal injury lawsuit in his bankruptcy proceedings due to financial motive. The Supreme Court found having a motive to conceal potential finances itself isn't enough to warrant dismissing his personal injury case. In FS Credit Opportunities Corp. Vs. Saba Capital Masters Fund, the justice is ruled against allowing activist investors to sue public companies after those companies have opted into a rule that limits the activist investors voting power. And in Abu Ammo versus The US the justice has ruled that charges must be filed against an individual accused of a crime in the district where the crime was committed.

[Lisa Brady]

Fox's Jessica Rosenthal so as the Supreme Court's current term winds down, still awaiting decisions on the most closely, including birthright citizenship. President Trump just posting his latest support for ending it. His executive order aiming to limit birthright for children of illegal immigrants was challenged as unconstitutional. A ribbon cutting ceremony for a new U.S. canada Bridge is cancelled tomorrow. The opening of the bridge delayed.

[Commercial Announcer]

The Gordie Howe International Bridge, jointly owned by Canada and the state of Michigan, was expected to open to traffic later this month and now won't. A statement from the Windsor Detroit Bridge Authority says Canada and the United States have agreed to delay the opening of the bridge, taking the necessary time to resolve any outstanding issues. It doesn't say what those issues are. President Trump has in the past threatened to block the bridge's opening, demanding at least 50% US federal government ownership and better trade deals. Canada paid for construction to be paid back with toll revenues. The bridge would ease construction at the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit Windsor Tunnel. Chris Foster, FOX News.
