Business Rundown: Muted Markets Await Iranian Response

President Trump Drops The “Hammer” On Iran
On Saturday night, the U.S. military attacked several Iranian nuclear facilities in an attempt to eliminate their potential. Following the announcement, President Trump addressed the nation, boasting the U.S. "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities. Some Americans fear this may drag the United States into an open-ended war. However, the Trump administration rejects those claims. Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Rick Crawford (AR-01) joins the Rundown to discuss what inspired the President to act in a swift, secretive manner while enabling the U.S. military to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities. He shares his hope that the strike will embolden the Iranian people to rise against their repressive regime.
President Donald Trump is taking a closer look at infant formula, a topic that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn't thoroughly examined in decades. The last comprehensive review of infant formula was conducted in 1998, over two decades ago. Currently, a new FDA panel is seeking answers regarding childhood diseases, such as obesity and diabetes. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. David Kessler, the author of "Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine: The New Science of Achieving a Healthy Weight," joins to discuss strategies for improving health, the popularity of Ozempic-like drugs, and whether or not food companies are trying to get us addicted to junk food.
Plus, commentary from senior policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, Ben Lieberman.

Extra: Deliveries, Taxis, War ... And The Future Of Drones
The White House says President Trump's executive orders on drones, signed earlier this month, will "unleash American drone dominance."
It directs the Federal Aviation Administration to expedite the development of new rules governing the operation and flight paths of unmanned aircraft systems.
It will also loosen some regulations, create new ones, and attempt to integrate drones into air traffic more effectively.
Michael Healander is the founder and CEO of the drone operations management company, Airspace Link. He was on the White House call about the executive orders.
Healander joined FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to discuss the new rules and how drones may be used in the future, including package deliveries and air taxis, also known as flying cars.
We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
Today on FOX News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Airspace Link CEO Michael Healander, allowing you to learn even more about the incredible future of drones.

From Washington: Debate Over The Budget Bill Gets SALT-y
As the Senate prepares to vote on the revised version of President Trump’s "Big Beautiful Bill," tension has once again risen over its contents, particularly over language pertaining to the SALT deduction cap. While the House bill raised the cap to $40,000, the Senate’s version lowers it back to $10,000. With the issue of SALT being a sticking point for key blue-state Republicans, the Senate’s tweak may put the bill’s final passage in jeopardy. Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins to discuss the debate over SALT, as well as how members of Congress are reacting to last weekend’s assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman.
Then, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) explains why raising the SALT cap is so vital to his constituency. Plus, he weighs in on the Israel-Iran conflict and Tuesday's New York City mayoral primary.
