The Glaring “Blind Spot" In U.S. Domestic Terror Prevention

Since the launch of Operation Epic Fury over two weeks ago, President Trump has said the U.S. has been very successful targeting Iran’s missiles and launchers, as well as its navy and its nuclear program.

However, many Democrats and even some Republicans—including some members of the MAGA movement—have pushed back against the President’s decision to strike Iran.

But one big Trump supporter in this conflict is his former Vice President, Mike Pence.

Earlier this week, Vice President Pence joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss Operation Epic Fury. He explained why the President’s critics are wrong about their concerns surrounding Israel and the U.S. efforts to dismantle Iran’s regime.

Despite their falling out after the 2020 election, Pence told the Rundown why he applauds the Commander-in-Chief’s objectives and timing. He also discussed his work as the founder of Advancing American Freedom and what the GOP should focus on as the fall midterms approach.

Extra: Oscar Predictions, the Streaming Shift, and Why 2026 Was a "Bad Year" for Movies

The President’s Plan To Slash Pump Prices

As U.S. and Israeli forces continue to dimmish Iran's military capabilities, Tehran is moving towards more asymmetrical warfare with cyberattacks and the cutting off of the important trade route of the Straight of Hormuz. Iran’s proxy groups using low end drones and speedboats to attack on U.S. and other Mideast nation's owned oil and energy infrastructures aim to damage the worked economy. Meanwhile, a U.S. medical device company, Stryker, confirmed they experienced a cyberattack focused on their Microsoft platform that shares patient information and real time data. More cyberattacks, like the one on Stryker, are feared to be coming as politically motivated hackers act like digital sleeper cells.  



FOX’s Jonathan Savage speaks with Bill Udell, former CIA Operations Officer and Analyst, and the Chief Executive Officer, The Americas at Control Risks, bringing expertise in risk management and international operations, who says Iran's low sophisticated weaponry and attack capabilities could still cause major problems.

Mike Pence On Iran Strikes & The ‘America First’ Agenda

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has set up a network of fake social media accounts that have been posting pro-Tehran propaganda across X, Instagram and other social media sites. Just days, if not the initial hours, into the conflict with Iran both Israel and the United States have been targeted by these Iranian internet trolls with videos and images of fake explosions, fake troops and whole lot of use of AI. What could be more damagingly misleading is fabricating stories of who is truly responsible for the death of innocent civilians.     

 

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Natasha Hausdorff, British international law specialist, and pro bono legal director of the advocacy group, UK Lawyers for Israel, who says spreading false narratives and flat out lies against Israel and the West is a key strategy by Iran.

Iranian Anti-U.S.-Israel Propaganda Flooding Social Media

As the U.S. and Israel continue their military operations against Iran, officials say the speed of the campaign is significantly degrading the regime’s military capabilities.

The “Stranglehold” On Tehran: How Long Will the Iran Conflict Last?

Iran’s Assembly of Experts has elected Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as the country’s new supreme leader. The younger Khamenei, aged 56, was long considered a contender for the position, even before an Israeli strike killed his father, and despite never being elected or appointed to a government position. Khamenei has not been seen publicly for days, and now stands as the head of Iran's theocracy and will have final say over all matters of state.

 

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior director of the Foundation of the Defense of Democracies' Iran Program, who says while Mojtaba is younger, don't expect any sort of change in a hardliner rule of the country.

Iran Conflict, DHS Shutdown Raises Fears Of Threats Inside The US

Iran has — for years — been developing drone technology to share with adversaries of the United States and Israel.

And now, Iran’s military is using them for attacks in Israel and countries hosting American troops.

The first American deaths in the U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran were in a one-way drone attack in Kuwait.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is considered to be the first real drone war, with both sides using them for attacks on a large scale.

Their use in military strikes dates back about 20 years.

FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster recently spoke with FOX News Contributor and Army Special Operations Intelligence Analyst Brett Velicovich about his experience using drones in combat and how they’re changing the battlefield.

Velicovich, who is also the founder of the drone company Powerus, talked about the use of drones in Operation Epic Fury and his concerns about terrorists using them anywhere in the world — including the U.S.

We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you’d like to hear the full conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our entire interview with FOX News Contributor and drone expert Brett Velicovich.
