00:00The Pentagon has identified two of the service members killed in the Iran war this weekend as 19-year-old
00:04Private Isabella Gonzalez and 25-year-old First Lieutenant Tyler Feehan.
00:09Both were killed during Iranian attacks on a U.S. air base in Jordan.
00:12Now, a third service member was also killed and a fourth remains missing and is presumed dead as of Monday
00:17night.
00:18The White House says President Trump will attend a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base tonight to honor
00:23the fallen service members.
00:25Their deaths prompted President Trump to issue his strongest warning yet to Iran.
00:30In a post on Truth Social, President Trump vowed a swift response, writing, quote,
00:35Every time Iran kills an American soldier, they will pay for that killing many times over.
00:40And that isn't just tough talk.
00:41The president has directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Cain, and military leaders to carry out
00:48that order.
00:48Now, shortly after the threat, the U.S. launched its 10th consecutive night of strikes against Iran, even as Qatar
00:54is attempting to broker a 10-day ceasefire to prevent the conflict from spreading further across the region.

01:06of domestic terror.
01:08Authorities say a 43-year-old military veteran allegedly set fire using gasoline and fireworks outside 26 Federal Plaza in
01:15Lower Manhattan on Monday morning.
01:17Now, this is a building that houses immigration courts, an ice field office, and other federal agencies.
01:22Police say the suspect also threatened people with airsoft rifles while pulling a cart painted with the words,
01:28Ice Off Our Streets.
01:30Dramatic video shows a man dousing the ground in accelerant, lighting it on fire, and then tossing fireworks into the
01:37flames before officers rushed in,
01:39tackled him to the ground, and took him into custody.
01:41Four civilians suffered minor injuries.
01:43One person was taken to the hospital.
01:45The other three were treated at the scene.
01:47The FBI says its Joint Terrorism Task Force is now leading the investigation, including whether this attack was motivated by
01:53anti-ice sentiment.
01:55South Carolina's newest senator says she's ready to make her stay in Washington a full-time gig.
02:01Interim Senator Darlene Graham-Nordone, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, announced that she's going to run to

02:17On Fox News with Sean Hannity, Nordone said that she believes she's ready for the job.
02:21I've been praying a lot, talking to my family, but with the love of my family, with the support of
