The Fox News Rundown

The United States and Iran have negotiated a deal following a period of military conflict involving U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, leading to a 60-day ceasefire to allow for continued nuclear negotiations. Under the preliminary agreement, shipping will resume through the critical Strait of Hormuz without Iranian interference. The director of Heritage’s Center for National Defense Robert Greenway joins the Rundown to discuss the nuances of the negotiations, Iran's crippled enrichment capabilities, and the role of Israel in regional security.

Some of the world's most powerful artificial intelligence models have just been abruptly taken offline. Following an emergency export control directive from the Trump administration, AI pioneer Anthropic disabled its new Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models due to severe national security anxieties. The federal intervention came after Amazon officials alerted the White House that a simple "jailbreak" technique allowed users to completely bypass safety guardrails—raising alarms that rogue states or bad actors could exploit software flaws to launch catastrophic cyberattacks. Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted joins the Rundown to dissect the federal government's high-stakes "pause" on frontier AI and the delicate needle policymakers must thread between out-innovating China and defending domestic infrastructure. Also, Sen. Husted discusses his tough reelection campaign.

PLUS, commentary by Joe Abraham the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien.

President Trump is in Geneva for the G7 summit, where Vice President Vance is expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Islamic Republic of Iran. While the administration touts this as the "peace deal" that ends decades of hostility, the reality is far more nuanced. In truth, it’s a 60-day clock to negotiate the world's most dangerous flashpoints: Iran’s nuclear ambitions, missile programs, terror proxies, and control over the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

Has the U.S. secured a diplomatic breakthrough, or have we blinked first against a fanatical regime?

To break down what this deal really means, Victoria Coates, Vice President of the Heritage Foundation’s Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy and former Deputy National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss the deal, Iran's motives, and what comes next.

For over 100 days, the conflict between the U.S. and Iran has kept markets on edge.

But now, investors are celebrating reports that the U.S. and Iran have reached a preliminary deal to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

David Bahnsen, Founder and Managing Partner of The Bahnsen Group, joins FOX Business’ Taylor Riggs to discuss how cautious traders should remain since the potential peace pact isn’t expected to be official until Friday, and how this development could impact the Fed meeting later this week.

Bahnsen also discusses the job market, “AI washing,” and SpaceX stock.

Major questions are swirling around U.S. national security following the expiration of FISA Section 702, a key surveillance tool used to monitor foreign threats abroad. As Capitol Hill remains divided over its future, Michigan Republican Congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain joins the Rundown to discuss the security risks she sees in the lapse. Plus, how Republicans are shaping their economic agenda ahead of the midterms.

With all the attention on UFOs, UAPs, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life—including a new Steven Spielberg movie on the subject —is the world ready for a real-life “Disclosure Day”? Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joins the Rundown to discuss the Pentagon’s gradual unsealing and releasing of UFO files and whether he thinks humans can “handle” smoking gun proof of alien life. He also discusses his new book, Take Me to Your Leader: Perspectives on Your First Alien Encounter, and how it examines why our conceptions of aliens, especially the ones we’ve seen in Hollywood movies, may be way off.

PLUS, commentary by Jason Chaffetz, FOX News contributor and the host of the Jason In The House podcast on FOX News Radio.
