美国财政部长贝森特说，美国将动用冻结的伊朗资产，为伊朗对美国波斯湾地区盟友造成的损害埋单。

贝森特星期四（6月11日）在社交媒体X平台发文称，任何缴付给波斯湾海峡管理局的费用，也将从伊朗的账户资金中抵扣。

彭博社引述他说：“伊朗发动的每一次攻击，都只会加深它面临的经济和金融后果。”

在和平谈判的要求中，德黑兰坚持要求返还约240亿美元（近309亿新元）的冻结资产，并支付战争赔偿。

伊朗副外长加里巴巴迪（Kazem Gharibabadi）本周说，美国不能动用它冻结的伊朗资产，帮助地区盟友从战争损害中重建。他在X上说：“伊朗资产既不是华盛顿的战利品，也不是为其盟友付款的基金。”

Senate map tightens as top forecaster moves 3 races toward Democrats

June 11, 2026 10:35am EDT / Fox News

North Carolina moved to lean Democrat while Alaska and Ohio shifted to toss-up in latest ratings

By Paul Steinhauser Fox News

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

A leading nonpartisan political handicapper shifted three Senate races toward the Democrats on Thursday and predicted that with just under five months to go until the midterm elections, the Democrats have a “clearer path to winning the Senate majority.”

But Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia adds that despite the shifts, “we still favor Republicans in the overall race for the Senate.”

Republicans currently control the Senate 53-47 but are battling stiff political headwinds, as the party in power in the nation’s capital traditionally loses seats in the midterms. The GOP also faces a rough political climate fueled by economic concerns amid persistent inflation, as well as rising gas prices tied to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and President Donald Trump’s underwater approval ratings.

Sabato’s Crystal Ball shifted the race in battleground North Carolina from toss-up to lean Democrat. Former two-term Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is facing off against former Republican National Committee Chair Mike Whatley in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Thom Tillis.

It moved the Senate showdown in Alaska, where GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan is expected to face off against former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola, from lean Republican to toss-up.

And in Ohio, where appointed GOP Sen. Jon Husted is being challenged by former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, it shifted the rating from lean Republican to toss up.

The movement toward the Democrats in the Ohio race comes a week after a Fox News poll indicated Brown currently up by eight points, 53%-45%, over Husted.

Democrats need a net gain pickup of four seats in the midterms to win back control of the Senate they lost in the 2024 elections.

Pointing to the four races it now considers toss-ups, Sabato’s Crystal Ball said “there are now enough Toss-up races to give Democrats a clearer path to winning the Senate majority… But Republicans can block Democrats by winning just one of the Toss-ups, meaning that they’re still better-positioned to hold the majority.”

The ratings shift by Sabato’s Crystal Ball comes a month after another top nonpartisan political handicapper, the Cook Report, moved its rankings of four key Senate races in favor of the Democrats.

Senate Republican campaign chair Tim Scott ‘extremely optimistic’ about expanding majority but spotlights ‘difficult’ climate

National Republican Senatorial Committee chair Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina speaks exclusively with Fox News Digital about the GOP’s chances in the midterm elections.

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, is optimistic that Democrats can flip the chamber. Gillibrand told Fox News Digital earlier this year she sees “all the makings of a blue wave.”

Gillibrand’s rival, National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chair Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, acknowledged in a Fox News Digital interview earlier this year that “there’s no doubt the climate has gotten more and more difficult.”

But Scott emphasized he remains “incredibly optimistic, not only about holding the majority, but still expanding the majority.”

And NRSC National Press Secretary Bernadette Breslin told Fox News Digital on Thursday that “no battleground races can be taken for granted. While Democrat candidates lurch further left to appease their radical base, Republicans are staying focused on lowering costs, investing in American workers, and doing the work required to defend the majority.”

U.S. charges 3 for alleged smuggling conspiracy involving unaccompanied minors

June 11, 2026 / 11:42 AM EDT / CBS News

The Justice Department announced on Thursday it has charged three people in Ohio for conspiring to smuggle unaccompanied minors across the U.S. border.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the indictment against Maritza Azucena Cahuec Coc, Carlos Cahuec Coc and one other defendant is emblematic of a broader problem, in which fraudsters are often serving as “super sponsors” of three or more unrelated unaccompanied minors. Many of those children are then subsequently trafficked for labor or sex, he said.

“When the government fails to protect our borders, it is the most vulnerable who suffer,” Blanche told reporters at a news conference.

The indictment, unsealed in the Northern District of Ohio, charges the defendants with 19 counts, including conspiracy to encourage and induce an alien to enter the U.S., making false statements, identity theft and more.

Markwayne Mullin, the secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, alleged that the Biden administration was derelict in its duty by failing to vet the sponsors of the children and to conduct wellness checks to ensure their safety.

“The Biden administration, under true neglect at best and criminal at worst,” allowed 450,000 kids to go missing, he alleged, adding that the Trump administration has so far located 146,000.

The remaining 300,000 remain missing, he added.

Mullin and Blanche did not suggest, however, there were any plans underway to target former Biden administration officials who were involved in the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement for criminal prosecution. The ORR is the agency responsible for caring for unaccompanied minors until they can be connected with sponsors in the U.S., typically family members.

“I’m not indicting past leadership right here on this podium,” Blanche told reporters. “But you can also not ignore what was an incredible dereliction of duty at best.”

DOJ, DHS and HHS officials said on Thursday that they have determined there are more than 81,000 of the same addresses used to repeatedly receive unaccompanied minors.

Angie Salazar, the acting director of the ORR, told reporters that the administration also identified more than 76,000 instances where mandatory safety checks were missing, as well as more than 97,000 cases that lacked background checks.

Salazar said that children who are the victims of crime, even those who are now adults, are eligible to apply for a U-visa. The visas are typically granted to noncitizens who are victims of crime or who have provided substantial assistance to law enforcement.

传美国安会取消会晤郑丽文 国民党：暴露民进党恐慌

2026年6月11日 21:34 / 联合早报

台湾在野的中国国民党主席郑丽文当地时间星期二（6月9日）参观纽约皇后植物园。 （郑丽文脸书）

亲绿台湾媒体《自由时报》引述不具名的国民党访美团成员透露，台湾在野的中国国民党主席郑丽文原定美东时间星期三（6月10日）在白宫与美国国安会官员会面，但会面在未告知原因情况下取消。国民党星期四（11日）回应称，这是特定媒体故意诋毁，暴露出民进党的恐慌。

综合台湾《联合报》和ETtoday新闻云等报道，针对有媒体报道称，美国国安会临时取消与郑丽文主席会面，国民党指出，郑丽文在华府与行政部门的会面是全部保密不对外释出任何信息，特定媒体故意诋毁，只是暴露出民进党的恐慌和心虚。

《自由时报》报道引述华府外媒圈称，在多方洽排下，郑丽文一行原本表定与国安会官员会见，但地点并非外传在白宫，而是美国在台协会（AIT）华盛顿总部；拟会面的官员层级也低于台中市长卢秀燕今年3月访美时接触的资深主任级官员。不过，相关安排最终未能成行。

《自由时报》引述华府媒体圈人士研判，此次会面取消可能与郑丽文近期针对对美军售、台美关系及第一岛链安全合作的言论有关。

报道并引述一名未具名华府记者称，军购特别条例是台美双方研议的结果，郑丽文却将之诬指为空白授权，并指控民进党政府贪污，就让美国国安及军方系统大感不满，因为这形同在指涉美方有问题。

美伊连续两天交火 特朗普恫言升级打击占领伊朗石油命脉

2026年6月11日 23:34 / 联合早报 海珂娴

（德黑兰/迪拜/华盛顿综合电）美国与伊朗连续两天互相发动空袭，本就脆弱的临时停火协议愈发岌岌可危。美国总统特朗普再次警告要对伊朗发动“非常猛烈的打击”，并恫言占领伊朗的关键石油枢纽哈尔克岛和其他石油基础设施。

美军中央司令部星期四（6月11日）凌晨对伊朗发动数小时的空袭，共发射49枚“战斧”导弹。

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队随后宣称做出反击，袭击科威特和巴林境内的18个美军空军基地，以及驻巴林的美国海军第五舰队。

它还声称，再度袭击约旦的阿兹拉克美国空军基地，发射12枚弹道导弹。约旦军方则称，拦截了20枚从伊朗发射的导弹。

这是美伊连续两天互相袭击。这轮敌对行动的导火线是星期一（8日），美军的一架阿帕奇直升机在霍尔木兹海峡附近被击落，一系列针对伊朗境内以及中东美国基地的连环报复袭击随之引爆。

美军说，最新的袭击针对“伊朗全境的军事监视能力、通信系统和防空阵地”，旨在回应德黑兰的“无端和持续侵略”。

美军还在阿曼湾击沉了本周来的第三艘油轮。美军中央司令部指称，这艘油轮悬挂西非国家几内亚比绍的国旗，试图突破美军封锁线以运送伊朗石油。

另据印度海运部，一艘悬挂帕劳国旗的货轮星期三（10日）在阿曼湾附近遭美军击中，三名印籍船员失踪后已确认遇难。

特朗普星期四说，他接到伊朗官员的电话，要求他停止袭击。不过，伊方否认有此事。

特朗普恫言占领哈尔克岛 ：就像对委内瑞拉那样

特朗普告诉福克斯新闻，如果伊朗拒绝签署停战协议，“我们明天就把他们炸个稀巴烂”。

他星期四也在社媒发贴说：“美国今晚会对伊朗进行非常猛烈的打击。伊朗的海军、空军、雷达、防空系统，以及所有其他形式的防御力量，连同大部分的进攻能力，都已不复存在！”

他甚至说，美国不久就会占领伊朗经济命脉哈尔克岛和其他石油基础设施，并完全控制伊朗石油和天然气市场，“就像我们对委内瑞拉所做的那样”。

哈尔克岛承担伊朗约90%的原油出口。图为2月25日卫星图片，岛上的石油管道。（路透社档案照片）

哈尔克岛承担着伊朗约九成的原油出口，要攻占这个伊朗势必誓死保卫的枢纽须面对重大风险，且需要部署地面军队。

特朗普向福克斯新闻坦承，占领这个岛屿是他的首选，但他不确定美国民众是否想要这么做。“我想，大家更希望我们回家。”

美伊空袭波及广泛 地区多国遭殃

美国最新的空袭行动主要针对伊朗南部，但革命卫队说，北部首都德黑兰附近的其他地点也遭袭，包括卡拉季（Karaj）、纳扎拉巴德（Nazarabad）和皮什瓦（Pishva）。

巴林内政部星6月11日发出的照片显示，伊朗无人机袭击导致巴林一些民宅受损，多辆汽车起火烧毁，消防员过后清理现场。巴林内政部通报，拦截伊朗无人机时，飞溅的弹片导致一名11岁女童受轻伤。（路透社）

伊朗外交部星期四较后时间发表声明，强烈谴责美国对伊朗发动新一轮军事打击。

声明指美国在过去数小时内针对伊朗实施的军事行动，违反《联合国宪章》，并使停火失去意义。德黑兰认为，由此引发的一切后果须由美国政府承担。

伊朗武装部队宣布从星期四（6月11日）起，对所有船只关闭霍尔木兹海峡。图为当天从海峡阿曼穆桑代姆海域看到的、停泊在霍尔木兹海峡的船只。（路透社）

伊朗同时敦促区内国家履行义务，防止本国领土被用于针对伊朗的军事行动。

局势紧张难乐观 区域国家仍坚持调解

尽管局势升温，巴基斯坦政府的调解工作没有中断。巴国外交部发言人说：“我们没有失去希望，仍在积极参与。让我们不要将巴基斯坦的调解努力拒于门外。”

另一外交官向法新社透露，卡塔尔代表团星期三在德黑兰与伊朗官员会谈一整夜，隔天早上离开，这些讨论“是在同美国协调之下进行”。

Chip Roy fields proposal to block pay and power for longtime lawmakers

June 11, 2026 8:46am EDT / Fox News

The proposal would target House and Senate legislators once they have served a dozen years in their respective chamber

Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas has fielded a proposal to cut off pay and power from House and Senate lawmakers once they’ve served 12 years in their respective legislative chamber.

“A Member of Congress (including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) who has served 12 or more cumulative years in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, as the case may be, may not, on and after the date that the Member reaches 12 years of service in the Member’s respective House of Congress, be eligible for any covered benefit described in subsection (b),” the text states.

Under the proposal, such long-serving lawmakers would no longer be eligible for pay and would no longer be eligible to serve in House and Senate leadership posts or as the chair or ranking member of standing or select committees.

“For too long, Washington has rewarded longevity with greater power, higher pay, and deeper entrenchment. If members of Congress want to serve beyond 12 years absent a constitutional amendment limiting them, they should do so without taxpayer-funded salaries and without monopolizing committee chairs and leadership positions,” Roy said, according to a press release.

“This bill helps ensure that public service remains exactly that: service to the people, not a lifelong career in politics,” he said, according to the release.

Roy, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2019, lost the Texas attorney general Republican primary runoff contest last month to Lone Star State Sen. Mayes Middleton.

The text of Roy’s proposal indicates that the restrictions would be enacted by the legislature “as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such are deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively … ” and that the restrictions would be enacted “with full recognition of the constitutional right of either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that House.”

“The prohibition under this section shall apply with respect to the One Hundred Twenty-First Congress and each succeeding Congress,” the measure states.

The 121st Congress will start in early 2029.

Pentagon “hazardous materials incident” prompts response from hazmat crews

June 11, 2026 / 12:00 PM EDT / CBS News

By Stephen Smith, Stephen Smith

Eleanor Watson, Eleanor Watson

Hazmat crews deployed to the Pentagon on Thursday and a shelter-in-place was in effect for what authorities described as a “hazardous materials incident.”

In a social media post, the Arlington County Fire Department said emergency units, including its hazardous materials team, were “operating at the Pentagon in support of PFPA’s Hazmat Team during a hazardous materials incident.”

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed that a shelter-in-place was in effect for affected areas.

“The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants,” Parnell said. “Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.”

Two sources confirmed some floors have had to evacuate while others are being told to shelter in place.

Shortly before 11 a.m. ET, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency sent an email to Pentagon personnel to shelter in place in four corridors from the second to the fifth floors. All staff were told to comply with the directive. Staff were told to move in person meetings to virtual meetings.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
