Fox News Radio's foreign correspondent Jonathan Savage joins us right now on the HRC, your neighbor credit union guest on. I was going to the latest from him. What's going on in Iran? And also the World Cup begins today in Mexico. Of course, matches in Mexico, the United States and in Canada. And also. of course, in Foxborough as well, the most, the closest site to our listening area. Joining us right now is Jonathan Savage on the HRC, your neighbor credit union guest line. Good morning, Jonathan. Hello, good morning. Appreciate you joining us for the show. Let's start off with the latest from the Middle East after a second day of U.S. attacks in response for the downed military helicopter that is being blamed on Iran. Yeah, two days and you can expect a third because President Trump has just said that the United States will be hitting Iran very hard tonight. And if you have three days of back and four strikes, it's very hard to make the case that the ceasefire is still in effect. It feels like the full scale of war is very close to being back on. So yes, last night seemed to be a more intense level of strikes from the United States, more widespread. Not much information coming out of Iran, though, about the damage. The US military carried out various attacks against air defence positions, against military surveillance and communication systems too. Iran tried to hit back at US military installations across the Middle East, although it doesn't appear as though they hit any targets. President Trump has been speaking to Fox today about these strikes. He said that 49 missiles were fired. He called the strikes violent and vicious, and that the Iranians called and asked him to stop the bombing, he claims. The president says if he don't sign the peace deal that's been negotiated, they bomb them very hard tonight, calling this the most violated ceasefire in the history of the world. So, yeah, the war is very hot right now, although behind the scenes, there are still efforts going on to try to mediate a peace deal. Is there a sense that this is going to continue for an extended period of time, or is it as it would appear, kind of a day-to-day type of scenario? And when it comes to the targets the United States is striking, are these repeat targets that they have already hit already, or are they hitting new targets in Iran? They aren't giving us too much details about that sort of information. It's understood, though, from intelligence officials that during the pause, during the ceasefire, Iran was able to build up again some of its air defense capabilities, for example. So I imagine many of these strikes will be at taking those air defense positions out once again. President Trump on Truth Social. is saying that in the not too distant future, the US will be taking Karg Island and other oil infrastructure points and assume total control of Iran's oil and gas markets, much like we have with Venezuela. I would imagine that some of that is just the pressure Iran into negotiating, into doing a deal.
because he has said many, many times that he wants this to come to an end at the negotiating table. And of course, the opportunities have existed to do those things prior to this as well, the now over 100-day war. And so those opportunities have not been taken up so far. Let's pivot to the World Cup. We'll start with security where there is extensive security in Foxborough and at all the... World Cup sites with anti-dron technology, military police, significant fencing around the venues. What's the level of concern when it comes to a potential attack at one of these venues? Well, it's one of the biggest security challenges ever faced by the FBI. They've had a counter-dron training program in operations since last October. They graduated 70 local police officers in the host cities in that way. They see drones as being one of the biggest ways in which people can cheaply cause problems to World Cup events and they don't need much planning and many resources to do so. Kash Patel, the FBI director. saying that this is one of the biggest things he will ever do in his role as head of the FBI working in the United States and with intelligence and security agencies overseas. He says that the threats include drones, include potential for terrorist attacks and spies, but also they're thinking about just very simple things like drunken fans causing problems. Always at issue in Boston sporting events for the most part. So it should be no different with buses and trains full of Scots coming in on Saturday. Let's look at the prices for World Cup games. The first match today between Mexico and South Africa, that'll cost you just under $4,000 to get in. The first United States match is tomorrow at 6 p.m. local time out in California. That will cost just under $1,000 to get in. If you wanted to go to the Haiti-Scottland match, the first one in Foxborough, that is at $742 right now on Seatgeek to get into that match. So astronomical prices. The question is, are folks going to pay them? Yeah, and the answers will be very clear on our TV screens very soon. I mean, how much will people in Seattle, for example, be willing to pay to watch Qatar against Bosnia and Herzegovina? There are 104 games in this World Cup. The idea of getting them all sold out at those prices seems very ambitious indeed. Now, I do know that people are traveling in their thousands from Scotland, from England, from Europe, from other parts of the world as well. And they have, every single one of them is talking about how much they are spending in order to do so. It's a lifelong dream for them. But some of them are having to give up an awful lot in order to achieve that dream. Final thing. And then about 10 seconds here, which sides are the favorites?
I would say France and Spain from Europe are considered the favorites. A lot of people in England, as usual, think that they've got a chance as well. Brazil and Argentina is a perennial giant that's South America. Argentina are probably in better shape than Brazil are going into this tournament. I had to put my money on anyone. It would be Spain right now. But I think Mexico has a very good chance of surprising people with their home field advantage. Jonathan, thank you so much. Thank you. Fox News Radio's foreign correspondent Jonathan Savage joining us on the HRCU, your neighbored credit union guest on. I am Chris Ryan. This is Hampshire today. Iran says the ceasefire is now practically meaningless. I'm Dave Anthony. Fox News, after the U.S. went on the attack again and Iran retaliated again, launching drones and missiles at Gulf countries with American bases, Bahrain, Jim Jordan, and Kuwait. Some were shot down. Fox's Lucas Tomlinson's at the White House. For the second consecutive night, U.S. strikes, and that strike included launching Tom Hawk cruise missiles from a U.S. warship. In a statement, Central Command said, quote, Sencom forces launch strikes on Iranian military surveillance capabilities, communication systems, and air defense sites across Iran. President Trump called Fox's tray inks from the situation room during the bombing saying we hit them very hard. Because they were unwilling to make a good faith deal at the negotiating table. And I asked the president if they don't sign the deal, what's going to happen? And he said, we'll bomb the S out of them. tomorrow night. And so clearly President Trump is keeping the military option on the table if the Iranians are unwilling to make those concessions. India is upset over another U.S. strike in this conflict, one that killed three people on a ship. The crew members died when a U.S. missile hit the engine room of the M.T. Setabello. An Indian operated oil and chemicals tanker accused of trying to breach the blockade of Iranian ports. Their deaths confirmed today after being reported missing yesterday. India has lodged a strong protest. of the strike. The U.S. said the vessel was carrying oil from Iran. Fox is Jonathan Savage. While Iran insists that controls the Strait of Hormuz blocking shipping, President Trump says a secret U.S. mission has escorted a lot of ships out, more than 200, carrying 100 million barrels of oil. Late at night with no lights, because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. Now, last night the president posted on two social, a call for Republicans in Congress to approve $350 billion for the military. Using a reconciliation process, Democrats cannot block. He also wants that to include news. rules for voting, requiring ID and outlong most male invaliding and no transgender athletes in women's sports. America's listening to Fox News.
