I am Chris Ryan. I appreciate joining us for the show. We're to check in what's going on in the Middle East. President Trump after attending the NBA finals game three last night, won by the Spurs at Madison Square Garden to cut that series lead to two games. To one, he talked with reporters before boarding Air Force One. Trey Yinks is in Tel Aviv. The president indicated that negotiations toward a deal are ongoing. He also discussed his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the exchange of fire over the weekend. We had a very good conversation and he was hit and he hit back. And I can't blame him for that. After President Trump called on Israel and Iran to stop shooting, both sides agreed. Since then, Israel has continued to operate against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, launching new strikes overnight and issuing fresh evacuation orders with questions about if the ceasefire could be broken again. International attention remains on the Strait of Hormuz, where the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports is expected to continue. Joining us right now with more Jonathan Savage. Fox News Radio's foreign correspondents with us on the HRCU, your neighbored credit union guest signed. Good morning, Jonathan. Hello, good morning. Appreciate you joining us for the show. What can you tell us about the status of the ceasefire and the latest on the state of play in the Middle East? Yeah, both sides have stepped back from direct conflict. Iran says it's stopped attacks on Israel, and Israel hasn't launched for... Iran either. The Iranian state media does say this morning that two members of an air defense unit were killed during those 15 hours of exchanges that took place Sunday into Monday. It was the most significant direct military confrontation between the two countries since the April ceasefire. Warnings, though, from Iran saying that they are willing to restart the military operation against Israel. Should the Israelis continue to attack Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, it was an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut that prompted the Iranian reaction. We're also aware of several pilots who crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, but there doesn't seem to be too many details about what happened to the U.S. pilots. No, not too many. We've had a statement from U.S. Central Command. This happened at 7.33 p.m. Eastern time yesterday, so it would be the middle of the night locally.
64 US Army Apache helicopter went down near the coast of Oman while patrolling regional waters. The two crew members were safely rescued, were told within about two hours, and there in a stable condition, the cause of the incident is under investigation. When it comes to President Trump's claims once again that we are close to a deal and a deal is imminent, is there any evidence to indicate that that is the case? Perhaps given the fact that both Iran and Israel have backed off of what appear to be a significant escalation, that may indicate something, but as we've talked about before, it feels like we've been here about a dozen times. Yeah, it does feel that way. President Trump believes that... and Iran fighting each other once again is jeopardizing the hopes of a peace deal. Said reporters, said reporters yesterday very close to having a very, very good, strong, powerful deal within a few days. Now, here in the UK, the BBC is reporting that Arab sources say a deal is close. although tempering that with the possibility of proximity bias, people too close to negotiations, maybe too optimistic. The BBC also reports that what is being discussed is not a full peace deal, but rather an agenda for further negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and a mechanism to reopen the trade of hormones. So a mechanism to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, further peace talks, obviously, you know, further discussion in regards to nuclear program in those peace talks. So is there any idea as to what would happen once a quote unquote deal was announced? I mean, would the Strait of Hormuz be opened back up again? So President Trump has said over and over again, it doesn't feel like that's the case. It's very, very unclear where we are. The Strait of Formuz, of course, before this conflict was a free-flowing waterway, absolutely crucial to the regional and global economy, about 20% of the world's oil passing through that waterway. What Israel is worried is that any agreement could end up formalizing the strategy. T.J. Gaines that Iran is being seen to have made from this war, effectively acknowledging Iran's claim to sovereignty over the street of foreign moves. Now, President Trump has said that can't happen, but Israel certainly fears that Iran is going to come out of this with something of a stronger hand. Let's go around the word a little bit with Jonathan Savage. Fox News Radio's foreign correspondent. We'll start with Africa. What's the latest on the Ebola outbreak? Yeah, we are just getting a few more details on the latest numbers of Ebola deaths. The confirmed death have climbed to 101 and the confirmed cases 550. It could be that the real numbers are higher. They are working through a backlog of testing. One of the big problems that is emerging, though, is violence in the region. Protests and local skepticism.
attacks on health workers. They're all leaving to challenging conditions, not to mention the fact that is happening in parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which have for a long time been troubled by violent insurgencies. That's not the only place where this is seeing violence in Kenya, where the US has been setting up an Ebola quarantine facility for Americans exposed to the disease. There have been protests there too, and Kenyan police today have been firing tear gases, tear gas at those protesters and detaining some of them. And just briefly, China's president wrapping up a two-day visit to North Korea. What can you tell us about that? Yeah, Xi Jinping has been wrapping up this spectacle of a visit. As you would expect, they rolled out the red carpet and then some for the Chinese leader, two countries who are very important to each other. China certainly very important to North Korea, but 90% of North Korea's trade internationally is with China. This also marked 65 years since they signed a defense pact with each other. Both leaders referenced that. during the visit. Xi Jinping of China saying that North Korea shares a common destiny with his country and that he'd reached an important consensus with Kim Jong-un. As always appreciate your time, we'll talk soon. Thank you. Fox News Radio's foreign correspondent Jonathan Savage joining us from London this morning. I am Chris Ryan. This is New Hampshire today. Meet Bob Minetti. My wife and I just celebrated 45 memorable years together. She and my daughter, Katie, are my anchors. Bob and Wendy spent time fundraising for health care causes. I guess I liked it so much. I decided to become a patient. In 2016, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I assumed that there was no hope for people with my diagnosis. Bob participated in a clinical trial that included cutting edge radiation therapy and surgery. He's been in remission since completion. I'm so glad that I learned about what was possible for me. I'm Keisha Sharp since losing my mother to pancreatic cancer. I've been working to ensure that everyone facing this diagnosis knows about the immense progress being made. Stand up to Cancer and Lust Garden Foundation are working together to make every person diagnosed into a long-term survivor like Bob. Visit Pancreaticancer Collective.org.
