BREAKING: US military unleashes defensive Iran strikes
U.S. forces struck Iran's Qeshm Island after Iranian forces fired at an American aircraft, Fox News reporter Jeff Paul says, citing a senior U.S. official. Military sources describe the strikes as limited and defensive, and say they do not signal an escalation.
The Fox & Friends First segment moves beyond the possible strike options discussed in earlier coverage to report military action. It has drawn about 776,000 views since being uploaded today, less than eight hours ago.
Reporting from London, Paul sets the strikes alongside continuing negotiations. The segment includes footage of Donald Trump discussing oil prices and his stated aim of preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Vice President JD Vance offers a cautiously positive assessment: "The president and I both feel pretty good about the prospects for potentially coming to a negotiated settlement."
Paul closes with the Iranian chief negotiator's position: Tehran says it has delivered a firm response and that the next move to prevent broader conflict rests with Washington.
