US destroys 16 Iranian mine boats as Strait of Hormuz oil showdown escalates
U.S. forces destroyed 16 Iranian mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, U.S. Central Command said, in what officials described as a move to prevent Tehran, Iran, from disrupting one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.
The strikes come as oil traffic through the strait remains at a near standstill, threatening a corridor that carries roughly 20 million barrels per day — about one-fifth of global consumption — and squeezing Gulf exporters like Iraq and Kuwait that rely on the narrow passage to ship their primary source of revenue.
Prior to taking out the mining vessels, Trump demanded Iran remove them "IMMEDIATELY!" warning that if it doesn’t, "the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before."
U.S. officials have long warned that Iran maintains a significant naval mine inventory and has rehearsed tactics designed to threaten commercial shipping in the Gulf. The destruction of the vessels appears aimed at stopping any potential deployment before mines could be laid in shipping lanes.
The Strait of Hormuz, bordered by Iran to the north and Oman and the United Arab Emirates to the south, is a critical artery for global energy markets. Even the threat of mining operations can further disrupt traffic and spike insurance and shipping costs.
It was not immediately clear whether any mines already had been placed in the water before the U.S. action. Citing intelligence sources, CNN reported Iran had laid a few dozen mines in the strait in recent days and had the capability to place hundreds more.
Since Friday, seven vessels, including four tankers and three bulk carriers, have passed through the strait, according to data from trade intelligence platform Kpler.
The U.S. Navy has been weighing escorts for commercial ships through the strait.
"We’re looking at a range of options there and will figure out how to solve problems as they come to us," Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine told Fox News Tuesday.
The world is watching to see whether the Navy will step in to try to free up shipping. Immediately after an inaccurate and since-deleted post from Energy Sec. Chris Wright claiming the Navy had escorted a tanker, oil prices fell nearly 12%.
European allies are moving in as well: France sent two frigates to join a European Union-led escort mission for ships through the strait, though their arrival timeline is unclear.
While U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has claimed the U.S. and Israel have "total air dominance" over Iran’s skies, that doesn’t mean the threat from missiles and drones is entirely eliminated yet.
The Navy won’t escort tankers until Iran’s missile and drone threat is eliminated, retired Gen. Jack Keane told FOX Business.
"Makes no sense in terms of the risk when we're going to finish them off entirely in a few weeks," he said.
Recognizing the squeeze on prices around the globe, Trump announced Monday the U.S. would remove oil-related sanctions.
"We are also waiving certain oil-related sanctions to reduce prices," he said during a press conference. "So in some countries, we're going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out. Then, who knows, maybe we won't have to put them on."
The United States currently maintains sanctions affecting oil Iran, Venezuela, Russia, Syria and North Korea.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt declined to detail what that relief would look like. A 30-day waiver already was recently issued for Russian oil stranded at sea to reach India.
A naval mine costing only a few thousand dollars can cripple or even sink a $2 billion U.S. destroyer.
The danger is not theoretical: In 1988, the USS Samuel B. Roberts nearly sank after striking an Iranian mine in the Persian Gulf.
Mine-laying operations are often conducted covertly at night using small vessels such as fishing dhows or fast-attack craft, allowing mines to be deployed with little warning and potentially devastating consequences.
Trump touts 5-0 sweep by endorsed candidates in Tuesday primary elections
President Donald Trump took a bow Tuesday night for his 5-0 record for his endorsed candidates in the Republican elections held in Mississippi and Georgia.
"March 10th election update: 5 wins, 0 losses," an election night image posted to Truth Social blared. "President Trump endorsements 100%."
The image hailed a 4-0 record in Mississippi (Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Miss.; Reps. Mike Ezell, R-Miss.; Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss.; Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss.) and 1-0 in Georgia, albeit with a bullet.
In one of the marquee matchups, an all-party special election for an open House seat, Republican Clay Fuller earned an April 7 runoff against Democrat Shawn Harris for the seat vacated by former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in Georgia's "solid red" 14th Congressional District.
FORMER FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR BOB GOOD BLASTS TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT RECORD: ‘TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM’
"Clay Fuller is going to be a fantastic Congressman in representing the Great State of Georgia," Trump wrote Wednesday morning on Truth Social.
"Now we have to be careful and finish it off. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
While Fuller did not earn the special election victory, and Harris won the most votes (37.3%) in a 17-candidate field that included nine Republicans, Harris only had to outdistance two Democrats. Fuller trailed Harris by only 3,000 votes at 34.9%. Republican Colton Moore finished third and out of the running at 11.6%, while no other candidate reached 5%.
"I think the Republican Party is going to unite around us because they know that the Democrat is too dangerous," Fuller said Tuesday night. "We can’t have a Democrat representing Georgia 14. That would be a tragedy for our community, a tragedy for Georgia 14 and a tragedy for the MAGA movement."
The total number of votes cast across all candidates in this election result thus far is 115,823, and Republicans outdistanced Democrat votes by nearly 20 points. GOP candidates garnered a total of 59.7%, while Democrats had 39.8% and independents had less than 1%.
"Congratulations to Clay Fuller, of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, on getting such a high percentage of the vote with 12 Republicans running," Trump wrote Tuesday night on Truth Social. "We want to make the next vote 'TOO BIG TO RIG.' Clay will be a GREAT Congressman — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!"
Fuller was a White House fellow in the first Trump administration and is a lieutenant colonel in the Georgia Air National Guard. He finished fourth in the 2020 Republican primary that Greene won. He credited Trump’s nod for propelling him to the runoff.
"They want to know who President Trump was endorsing in this race," Fuller said. "And that’s why they came out in droves to support him, because they want an America First fighter on Capitol Hill fighting for his policies that are going to make a difference for our community."
TRUMP CONTINUES LAMBASTING INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN THOMAS MASSIE AS CHALLENGER FILES TO ENTER RACE
Harris said he is not worried about further Trump intervention.
"If Donald Trump wants to come and do what he wants to do, that’s his business," he said.
The House GOP majority is a narrow 218-214 right now, making the Fuller-Harris April 7 runoff an important one for upcoming 2026 votes. There are two other vacancies awaiting special elections this year, including blue-state seats formerly held by New Jersey Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who resigned from the House in November, and the late Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Calif., who died Jan. 6.
Illinois is next up on the GOP primary schedule Tuesday, March 17, where three Trump-endorsed candidates are incumbents: Reps. Mike Bost, R-Ill., Mary Miller, R-Ill., and Darin LaHood, R-Ill.
The next big GOP primary challenge forged by Trump is frequent MAGA foil Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., on May 19. Trump-backed Ed Gallrein is vying for that seat.
"I predict that 'Representative' Thomas Massie will go down as the WORST Republican Congressman in the long and fabled history of the United States Congress, even worse than Crazy Liz Chaney, Cryin' Adam Kinzinger, and Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Remember, Green turns to Brown under stress!)," Trump wrote Wednesday morning on Truth Social.
"They are all misfits and losers, but Massie, who is running against a great American Patriot in the Kentucky Primary, will hopefully lose BIG. I LOVE KENTUCKY!!!"

Chargers' Justin Herbert says Madison Beer 'changed my life forever' in birthday tribute: Who is the pop star?
Pop star Madison Beer and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert seemingly cemented their relationship status with a birthday post.
Herbert celebrated Beer's 27th birthday on Instagram, gushing over how the "Reckless" singer has "changed [his] life forever."
The NFL star noted he's the "luckiest guy alive" to be with Beer, a rising star in the pop music world. Beer's new relationship with Herbert has drawn increased interest from NFL fans and others curious about the brunette beauty.
Madison Beer was born on Long Island, New York. The singer-songwriter first gained fame after Justin Bieber tweeted out a link to her cover of Etta James' "At Last" in 2012. She signed to Island Records at age 13 and began her career in music, facilitated by Bieber.
Beer released her debut single, "Melodies," in 2013.
Madison Beer experienced an intense rise to fame after Justin Bieber introduced his millions of Twitter fans to her by sharing a link to her cover of "At Last."
The then-13-year-old was immediately met with public scrutiny, something she had never dealt with before. Beer recently told Elle she didn't think young girls would be "mistreated" by the industry in the same way she was at the time.
"But in 2012, things were different. I didn’t feel protected, and I didn’t feel like people approached judging me like they were judging a 14-year-old. ... It forced me to grow up really fast, and it messed me up in a lot of ways. I’ve hopefully recovered a bit by now," she told the outlet in 2025. "But I do think getting discovered online is possible. TikTok and [social media] have given so many people an opportunity to go viral without needing the music industry....I also think anyone can do it."
"People look at famous people and artists, and they’re like, ‘Oh, that could never be me,’ but who are we? We aren’t as special as you think we are," Beer added. "Anyone can follow their dreams."

While Madison Beer's career began with a little bit of help from Justin Bieber, the pop star's fame reached new heights in 2020. She released her debut studio album, "Life Support" and with it her hit single, "Selfish."
It was widely seen as the moment she stepped out of the shadow of her early viral fame and established herself as a serious pop artist.
Since then, Beer has published a memoir and even performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Her talent has been recognized with two recent Grammy nominations. She was nominated for best immersive audio album in 2024 with "Silence Between Songs." In 2025, she landed a nomination for best dance pop recording with her single, "Make You Mine."

Madison Beer's first public relationship was with Vine star Jack Gilinsky in 2015. The two dated until 2017, after reports surfaced that Gilinsky had allegedly been verbally abusive towards the singer. Beer responded after a recording leaked, claiming she had stayed in an effort to "fix" Gilinsky.
"Don’t make the same mistakes I did, your safety is never worth it. No matter what, no one deserves to be treated that way," she wrote in a since-deleted post, according to People.
Beer has also been linked to Brooklyn Beckham. The "Make You Mine" singer confirmed the two had a flirty fling but denied a full-blown relationship.
"I’ve known Brooklyn for years, we’ve been really close and as we’ve gotten older – and I’m newly out of a relationship, we’re definitely like crushing on each other," Beer said back in 2017. "But we’re both very busy. He’s great, though. He’s a cutie, literally one of my best friends."
Beer's longest relationship was with former Hype House star Nick Austin. Although it's unclear when the two called it quits, Beer confirmed in Vogue's October cover story that she was going through a break-up while writing her latest album, "Locket."
Madison Beer took her relationship with Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert public on Jan. 31. The two attended Clive Davis' pre-Grammys Gala together, although Beer walked the red carpet solo.
Beer and Herbert first sparked romance rumors in August after the football star was spotted at one of the singer's photoshoots.
The two were later spotted sharing a kiss on the sidelines of the Chargers game against the Washington Commanders on Oct. 5.
House GOP urges Trump to choke off Iran ally's oil profits as Middle East turmoil spikes US gas prices
FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans is urging the Trump administration to choke off Russia's profits from one of its largest energy companies as global oil prices spike.
It comes as the U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran, one of Russia's closest allies on the world stage and another major energy producer, is threatening to spiral the market out of control both overseas and here at home.
Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, who chairs the Republican Study Committee, is leading five fellow GOP lawmakers in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding Lukoil — which accounts for roughly 2% of the world's oil output.
Western sanctions have forced Lukoil to announce it would sell certain international assets as countries like the U.S. and U.K. attempt to whittle down Russia's control over global energy.
AIRLINES MAY CUT FLIGHT SCHEDULES AS IRAN TENSIONS DRIVE UP FUEL COSTS, EXPERTS WARN
"The U.S. government has a significant role — in fact, a responsibility — in determining the ultimate fate of these oil and gas assets. We encourage you to exercise the utmost caution to ensure we do not inadvertently squander this opportunity and relinquish our leverage to U.S. adversaries," the Republicans wrote.
They warned against a situation where "transaction loopholes or back-room deals with Lukoil’s senior management" could allow Lukoil assets to "slip back into Russia’s hands as tensions subside or U.S. sanctions are lifted."
The six Republicans on the letter, all from Texas, are also lobbying the administration to ease a pathway for Lone Star State companies to acquire those assets.
"President Trump has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity not only to defund Russia’s war machine but also for leading American energy companies — including at least two headquartered in the great State of Texas — to acquire the LIG portfolio, permanently removing globally significant oil and gas assets from Russian control, enhancing energy security, affordability, and reliability, and strengthening President Trump’s America First agenda," they argued.
"[W]e encourage the Department of the Treasury — in concert with the White House and Departments of Energy, State, and War — to scrutinize every detail of the various proposals to ensure that any sale of LIG’s assets ‘completely severs’ ties with the Russian parent company, paving the way for American energy companies to meet this moment with the urgency and precision it so deserves."
The push comes at a particularly consequential time on the world stage as Iran continues to retaliate against U.S. allies in the Middle East.
TRUMP’S STRIKE ON IRAN DEALS A MAJOR BLOW TO PUTIN’S WAR MACHINE IN UKRAINE
Earlier this month, the U.S. and Israel began a joint operation launching strikes against Iran that targeted its military and nuclear assets as well as top leadership ranks.
Russia, which has been wreaking havoc on European energy markets with its invasion of Ukraine since February 2022, has reportedly been aiding Iran against the U.S. operation.
The Washington Post reported that Moscow was providing intelligence to Tehran to help it target U.S. forces in the region. It's a particularly significant development in the wake of eight U.S. service members' deaths since the conflict began.
Pfluger cited the conflict in the new letter, but did not mention Russia's alleged role in aiding Iran.
"American energy dominance is critical to our national security, and as the events of the last several days in Iran and the broader Middle East region have highlighted, our ability to promote peace through strength is enabled by our role in facilitating the stable and secure supply of energy to world markets," the letter said.
"In this increasingly complex geopolitical era, we believe America’s energy companies, and not those of our adversaries, should continue leading the way."
Meanwhile, AAA reported that the average national gas price in the U.S. rose by 27 cents to $3.25 as of March 5 since the Iran conflict began.
As of March 11, AAA's calculations put the national gas price average at nearly $3.58.
Trump’s Middle East envoy reveals what led to breakdown in Iran talks before Operation Epic Fury
U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff described what he said were early threats and demands from Iran during an interview on "Hannity" Tuesday, as U.S. negotiators and Iranian counterparts explored whether a deal could be reached before talks collapsed — a breakdown that preceded the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
Witkoff offered a behind-the-scenes account of the opening exchanges in the U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations. He said Iranian representatives opened by asserting an "inalienable right to enrich" nuclear fuel — a stance the U.S. delegation opposed by insisting that Iran should not enrich uranium at all.
Witkoff said Iranian negotiators declared they controlled roughly 460 kilograms of enriched uranium to about 60% and that this material could potentially be further enriched toward weapons-grade levels in about a week to 10 days.
He explained that enrichment beyond about 20% serves no civilian purpose and is associated with weaponization.
Iran’s negotiators told U.S. officials that the United States would not obtain through diplomacy what it could not achieve militarily — a remark he linked to June’s Operation Midnight Hammer, which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities.
Witkoff maintained that the country's three main enrichment and conversion centers were, in fact, destroyed, but Tehran has not publicly acknowledged such destruction.
US STRIKE ON KEY IRAN OIL HUB WOULD FIT TRUMP'S 'ENERGY DOMINANCE DOCTRINE,' EXPERT SAYS
"It was very, very clear to us that with that amount of weapons-grade material, that they had every intention of seeking a weapon. It would not be logical to us to think anything else," he said.
The United States even offered to help Iran convert its nuclear endeavors to a civil, non-enrichment program, and, "as a little extra, we suggested to them that we would provide fuel to them for free for a long period of time," said Witkoff.
But Iran called the offer "an assault on their dignity," he said, emphasizing that he viewed the stance as "subterfuge" to obscure their advance toward a nuclear weapon.
"That's how they felt that they would have increased power in the Mideast, and it would have changed the dynamic in the Mideast, and we couldn't allow it," he said.
"A second North Korea in the Mideast would have been untenable, and everybody on our foreign policy team knew it, and the president was very clear-minded about it."
Operation Epic Fury was launched by President Donald Trump as a U.S. and Israeli joint military campaign on February 28, 2026, with the goal being to destroy Iranian missile infrastructure, naval assets and nuclear capabilities to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Sparks fly as GOP senator reacts to Biden advisor's ‘I don’t know’ answer on illegal immigration law
A tense exchange unfolded during a Senate Budget Committee hearing Tuesday when Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno pressed a former Biden advisor on whether illegal immigration into the United States should be considered a crime.
"I don't know anything about this law," Brendan Duke, a former senior policy advisor in the Biden White House and now senior director for federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, told Moreno when asked if the 1952 Immigration and Naturalization Act "made a mistake" prohibiting people from entering the country illegally.
"Do you think it should be a crime to enter the country illegally?" Moreno followed up.
Duke responded, "I don’t know anything about this. I’m here to talk about budgets."
Moreno continued to press: "Look, I’m not a lawyer, you don’t have to be a lawyer. It's a simple question. Should it be a crime? I'll say it slowly. Should it be a crime to enter the United States of America illegally without permission?"
Duke again said he doesn’t know anything about the specific law, prompting Moreno to ask him if he has a home. Duke said he rents a property.
"Should it be a crime for people to enter your home without permission?" Moreno asked. Duke responded, "Yes."
Moreno pointed out that Duke was "certain" about that response but "not sure" whether it applied to America as a whole before turning his attention to the committee’s ranking member, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.
"So this is the best that Democrats can come up with. Mr. Chairman, I hope the ranking member can listen for just a second," Moreno said. "If you don't mind, this is the best witnesses you’ve got? A guy who can't distinguish whether it's OK to have people enter our country illegally? Of all the millions of people that you could have chosen to testify?"
Merkley attempted to interject, and Moreno responded, "Let me finish."
BIDEN-APPOINTED JUDGE IN THE HOT SEAT AFTER DHS FIRES BACK AT 'FALSE' CLAIMS ABOUT ICE FACILITY
"The best you have is a guy who has no idea what our immigration law is and isn't sure if somebody should enter the country illegally. Another guy is a smug guy who obviously has an agenda," Moreno said, referencing the previous witness who resisted the same question.
Merkley then urged Moreno to "stick to the facts" instead of "badgering" witnesses.
"Why don't you ask about the actual facts?" Merkley said.
Moreno shot back: "Why don't you do this? Why don't you speak when it's your turn? Oh. Because we actually take turns."
Moreno and Merkley continued to go back and forth, and Moreno called it "ironic" that rules about speaking order and turns are followed in the Senate but "it’s OK with you that people enter our country and skip the turn."
"Not only are you attacking witnesses, now you're attacking your colleagues here on the dais," Merkley said after denying that Moreno was accurately summarizing his position.
Committee Chair Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., eventually interjected, and the hearing moved on, but the moment was quickly picked up by conservatives on social media.
"INSANE," conservative commentator CJ Pearson posted on X. "Former Biden National Economic Council official refuses to say if it should be a crime to enter the country illegally."
Some online pointed out a man laughing in the audience during the exchange, including Heritage Action, which posted on X, "Shout out to the man cracking up in the background as the Democrats' witness is unable to admit it is wrong to enter our country illegally. Sometimes all you can do is laugh when they try to defend this kind of lunacy."
"Democrats can’t define a woman. Democrats can’t identify a crime. This is pathetic," conservative commentator and former GOP congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik posted on X.
Moreno posted a clip of the exchange on X, saying, "Here’s a simple question: is it a crime to enter the country illegally? At least, you’d think that’s an easy question. But when I asked Joe Biden’s senior policy advisor, he said he didn’t know! Make no mistake: the Biden Border Crisis was a choice. President Trump solved it."
Fox News Digital reached out to Duke for comment.
Pixar chief defends cutting LGBTQ themes in film, calls to focus on making good movies, not 'therapy'
Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter told The Wall Street Journal that he chose to cut some LGBTQ storytelling from a recent film because "We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy."
The Journal published an interview on Friday with Docter, noting that the studio once famous for smash hits like "Toy Story" is acknowledging it stumbled in recent years.
"I got into animation because it’s easier to draw people than talk to them," Docter said. He helped create some of Pixar’s earlier, more popular work, like "Monsters, Inc.," "Up" and "Inside Out." Recently, however, he said, "I probably overindexed on, ‘Do whatever you want.’"
According to the Journal, some current and former employees say Docter was too "conflict-averse" and let directors make autobiographical movies that did poorly at the box office.
ROB SCHNEIDER: GO WOKE, GO BROKE ISN'T A SLOGAN — IT'S BECOMING HOLLYWOOD’S REALITY
"As time’s gone on, I realized my job is to make sure the films appeal to everybody," he said.
The Journal noted that several recent Pixar originals during its rough patch had been inspired by their creators’ own experiences growing up.
"The first original movies Pixar made under Docter included ‘Luca,’ about a shy Italian boy who’s secretly a sea creature, and ‘Turning Red,’ about a Chinese-Canadian girl who transforms into a giant panda during puberty. Both were inspired by their directors’ experiences growing up," the Journal reported.
In late 2023, however, Docter reportedly gathered Pixar’s staff to bluntly give them what would later be remembered as the "come to Jesus" speech, telling them they took the wrong path by making so many autobiographically inspired movies and needed more universally appealing projects.
Around that same time, Pixar’s leadership was shown a film in progress called "Be Fri," short for "Best Friends," whose story was based on its director’s experience with a platonic breakup. Docter canceled the production.
DISNEY STAR DAVID HENRIE SAYS HOLLYWOOD GOING THROUGH 'NEW RENAISSANCE' WITH FAITH-FRIENDLY CONTENT
Another recent film, "Elio," faced a reckoning of its own during production.
"Test audiences liked the story of a lonely boy who finds friends in outer space, but said they wouldn’t pay to see it in a theater. So in 2023, Pixar ordered an overhaul, though more than half its animation was complete," the Journal reported. "When director Adrian Molina told the crew he was leaving the movie, whose title character was inspired by his childhood, people cried."
Two new directors were brought onto the project to replace Molina, and according to people who worked on it, they removed elements which suggested Elio, the main character, was gay, including a pink bicycle and a scene in which he envisioned raising a child with his male crush.
Docter noted that Pixar as a company had found that some parents did not want entertainment to spark conversations with their children they were not ready to have. "We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy," Docter said.
While the new version of "Elio" tested slightly better after such overhauls, it still went on to be a flop.

By contrast, Pixar's latest film, "Hoppers," appears to be a step in a more positive direction, and has had glowing reviews.
Docter said he believes Pixar will remain a strong asset to Disney if it sticks to its main mission of creating great films.
"If we’re going to just crank crap out, let’s shut the doors," he quipped. "I’d rather die trying to make something that we genuinely believe in."
Sheriff running Nancy Guthrie case responds after report reveals unseemly exit from first policing job
The Pima County Sheriff's Department updated Sheriff Chris Nanos' public resume Tuesday after a local news report highlighted an error in his work history that appeared to glaze over an unhappy split with his first employer in law enforcement.
Nanos resigned in lieu of termination from the El Paso Police Department in Texas in 1982, according to public records cited in the Arizona Republic.
But his resume claimed he remained there until joining Pima County as a corrections officer in 1984.
SEARCH FOR NANCY GUTHRIE ENTERS 5TH WEEK, CADAVER DOGS ON HOLD
"The Pima County Sheriff's Department recently identified two clerical errors in Sheriff Chris Nanos' publicly posted resume," a department spokesperson told reporters later Tuesday. "Both date discrepancies were administrative in nature and were not intended to mislead or misrepresent Sheriff Nanos' work history."
The statement did not address allegations in the report that he left his role in El Paso to avoid being fired.
"For clarity, Sheriff Nanos served with the El Paso Police Department from 1976 to 1982," the spokesperson added. "His service with El Paso PD concluded in 1982, not 1984 as previously stated. Additionally, Sheriff Nanos was promoted to the rank of captain in 2007, not 2009."
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
According to the report, Nanos served as a decoy who baited out drug dealers and would-be muggers. But he left in 1982 amid allegations of "insubordination" and "consistent inefficiency."
In six years, he reportedly spent 37 days suspended — for allegations of excessive use of force, off-duty gambling and coming to work late or missing shifts altogether.

Near the end of his time in El Paso, he took a 15-day suspension for allegedly sending a suspected robber to the intensive care unit after kicking him in the head during an arrest, according to police records included in the report.
The Republic also published what it described as an emailed response to its reporter's questions, attributed to Nanos himself, after he reportedly declined to comment on the error.

"That’s your ‘urgent’ request? You sure you don’t want to go back to my high school and ask why I got swats from the principal?" it reads. "Good luck with your hit piece."
Nanos is in charge of the investigation into the suspected abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie.
He's taken heat over his initial handling of the crime scene, purported disputes with the FBI over bringing the bureau into the case and subsequent lab testing, conflicting statements given at different points in the case and for attending an Arizona Wildcats NCAA game while Guthrie's adult children were filming a response to her potential abductor.

She has been missing since Feb. 1. Nanos held three news conferences that week, with the last coming on Feb. 5. There have been none held since.
In the second, held on Feb. 3, he addressed the weight of massive media attention to the case.
"I'm not used to everybody hanging on my words and then trying to hold me accountable for what I say," he told reporters.
More than five weeks after her disappearance, authorities have not publicly identified any suspects, persons of interest or any vehicles that could be connected to the crime.
There is a combined reward of more than $1.2 million for information that leads to Guthrie's recovery.
Anyone with information is asked to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.
Ravens agree to deal with star defensive end Trey Hendrickson after Maxx Crosby deal collapses: report
The Baltimore Ravens reportedly agreed to a deal with defensive end Trey Hendrickson hours after a deal for Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby fell through.
Hendrickson and the Ravens agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract on Wednesday, ESPN reported. The former Cincinnati Bengals star will stay in the division.

The reported deal came hours after the Ravens backed out of a trade for Crosby over apparent health concerns. The trade was agreed upon Friday, but couldn’t be finalized until Wednesday.
Crosby failed a physical, which ended up nixing the trade, a source told The Associated Press. The Raiders said the Ravens "backed out." The deal would have given Las Vegas two first-round draft picks and Baltimore would have reenergized its defense under new head coach Jesse Minter.

Hendrickson, a four-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro selection, has been one of the best defenders in the league since 2020 when he was with the New Orleans Saints. He joined the Bengals in 2021 and never lost a step.
With Cincinnati, Hendrickson played in 72 games and recorded 61 sacks. He was a Pro Bowler from 2021 to 2024. He led the NFL in sacks in 2024 with 17.5.
Hendrickson’s 2025 season was cut short with a hip injury that caused Cincinnati to place him on the season-ending injured reserve.
