This is a Fox News alert. Hit the planned attack. Pause. I'm Lee Cilla-Sara. President Trump writing on true social, the planned strikes against targets in Iran are on hold for two weeks. Noting this comes after talks with leaders in Pakistan and is subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the complete, immediate and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The president goes on to say this will be a double-sided ceasefire. The reason for doing so is that we have already met and exceeded all military objectives and are very far along with a definitive agreement concerning long-term peace with Iran and peace in the Middle East. Adding, we received a 10-point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. At a two-week period, we'll allow the agreement to be finalized and consummate it. Fox is Kristen Goodwin. Iran's foreign minister agreeing to the terms in a written response. The White House telling Fox there are discussions about in-person talks, but nothing is fine until announced by the president at the White House. Fox is Mike Tobin in Tel Aviv with the response from Israel. They're not too happy with the details, but they say it's President Trump's decision to make. The Iranian response was to fire another missile at Israel. It wasn't five minutes from the time that true social post went up. Our photons lit up with another incoming missile. This missile was intercepted over Jerusalem. The shrapnel came down. We've got no word of any injuries. It should be noted that word had gone out through the IDF that we should anticipate a lot of missile fire tonight, and they have not taken that down yet. This, as a missile alert, has sounded in the UAE. Another first for the astronauts aboard Artemis-2 is speaking to them, astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Our deepest appreciation to the seven members of the International Space Station. And this has been a true treat. It takes the entire world to do amazing things like this. Artemis completed its flyby last night as Judas flashed down near San Diego Friday afternoon. America is listening to Fox News. Jamie Lang and Sophie Habou have arrived on Disney Plus. We're having a baby! We're having a baby! I've always wanted to be a mom. And we're bringing you on our journey through everything. I have no idea what we're doing. Thank you. I have more of an idea. I think of it like a Tamagotchi. At the end of all of this. We're going to have a little baby. Raising Chalce, a Hulu original series streaming exclusively on Disney Plus. 18 Plus subscription required T since he's a ply. A former Wisconsin judge convicted of obstructing ICE agents is denied a bid for a new trial. Former Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was convicted by a jury of felony obstruction for interfering with federal immigration agents' attempts to arrest a wanted criminal illegal immigrant. Inside the courthouse last year, Dugan and her defense team requested a new trial and for an acquittal in the case. A request that's been denied by a federal judge. Dugan's defense team plans to appeal, saying they continue to maintain that Dugan acted lawfully and within her independent authority as a judge. Jeff Monasso, Fox News. A California man who co-founded one of Mexico's most powerful and violent drug cartels has fled guilty in the U.S. to a federal narcotics conspiracy charge. Eric Valencia Salazar helped form the Yalisco New Generation Cartel with a drug lord known as El Mencho who was killed by the Mexican army in February. Another airline will charge you a lot more to check bags, especially if you check multiple items. Delta Airlines new bag fees take effect on Wednesday. It's joining other airlines raising fees because of higher fuel costs. That luggage fees will go up $10 to $45 for a first item, $55 for a second bag and if you want to check a third bag it will cost you $200. It previously was $50. United Airlines and JetBlue raised bag fees last week. Delta is expected to have more to say when it reports earnings on Wednesday morning. Ginny Kosola, Fox News. Yay, formerly known as Kanye West, has been barred from entering the U.K. where he was scheduled to headline the Wireless Festival in July after backlash over his history of anti-Semitic remarks. The event has been canceled and event organizers say people who bought tickets will get refunds. I'm Lee Cilla-Sara, this is Fox News.
