Iran attacks ship in Strait of Hormuz after Hegseth speech

Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson's report interrupts the Washington political story with news from the Strait of Hormuz: Iran has attacked a ship, minutes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke at the Pentagon.

LiveNOW from FOX's short bulletin places that report alongside President Donald Trump's remarks during a White House meeting with Qatar's prime minister. Trump described the war in Iran as effectively over militarily. The reported attack presents a stark contrast, though its timing alone does not establish a connection to Hegseth's speech.

The anchor brings up a MarineTraffic map of shipping movements before returning to the attack report. The bulletin does not identify the vessel or explain how it was attacked, keeping the update focused on the initial news rather than a detailed account of the incident.

The upload drew about 185,000 views in ten hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's short videos.

Its Washington storyline has also moved on. While the bulletin anticipated a House vote on Representative Thomas Massie's impeachment effort against Hegseth, a later LiveNOW from FOX upload reported that House Republicans had halted the effort by sending the resolution to the Judiciary Committee.
