After President Trump said Iran seemed ready to make a deal to end the war but the terms weren't good enough, Tehran has been carrying out further missile and drone strikes on US allies across the Middle East. The Iranian foreign minister has denied that Iran has targeted civilian or residential areas in the Middle East - only US military targets. And he said the war would end when Iran was "certain" it could not be repeated. We hear from our Persian service correspondent about what she makes of these claims, and what people inside Iran are worrying about. Also: Iran warns the United Arab Emirates to begin evacuating the port zones in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah. So are people heeding these warnings? We hear from our correspondent in Dubai. Tehran continues to fire missiles towards Israel, most of which were intercepted by air defences. But at least one got through, as we hear from our correspondent in Tel Aviv. And how the war is impacting the oil industry and pushing up prices - we hear how increased use of wind and solar energy could give consumers more predictability in terms of cost.

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. 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 complete interview with former Vice President Mike Pence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hidden biblical patterns from Genesis to Revelation predict an Islamic takeover of the West that makes sense of everything from the plagues in Egypt to the Arab Spring to the Islamization of the West. Glenn sits down with Pastor Bill Cloud for a conversation that Glenn warns could get the pastor arrested if he were in Europe. Could the red-green alliance of Marxists and Islamists have been foretold in the book of Daniel? Bill shows where the Bible hints at an “Arab” kingdom set to rule in the last days before Jesus returns and reveals the connection between a broken covenant and the rise of the Islamic god. Glenn wonders how long until the tribulation, and Bill has a thoughtful answer for why so many Americans are questioning support for Israel and increasingly calling for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” They examine the similarities between the Antichrist in the book of Revelation and the 12th imam of Islam, and Bill explains why it’s not men like Ayatollah Khamenei who scare him — it’s men like Zohran Mamdani.
