NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Spain permanently pulled its ambassador to Israel on Tuesday over its opposition to the U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran, ratcheting up an already tense diplomatic rift between the two countries.The Spanish government formally terminated the ambassador’s post in its official gazette and said its embassy in Tel Aviv will now be led by a chargé d’affaires indefinitely.Madrid had recalled its ambassador last September after Israel condemned Spain’s decision to block aircraft and ships carrying weapons to Israel from using Spanish ports or airspace. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called the move antisemitic at the time.When a reporter on Wednesday asked whether Spain, in general, was cooperating with the U.S., President Donald Trump replied, “No, they’re not. I think they’re not cooperating at all.”WORLD LEADERS SPLIT OVER MILITARY ACTION AS US-ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN IN COORDINATED OPERATION “Spain, I think they’ve been very bad,” the president said. “Very bad. Not good at all. We may cut off trade with Spain.””I don’t know what Spain is doing,” Trump continued. “They’ve been very bad to NATO. They get protected, they don’t want to pay their fair share. And they’ve been that way for many years.”Trump added that…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Passage of the SAVE America Act is of paramount importance to President Donald Trump and many congressional Republicans.In his State of the Union speech, the president implored lawmakers “to approve the SAVE America Act to stop illegal aliens and other unpermitted persons from voting in our sacred American elections.”The House approved the plan to require proof of citizenship to vote last month, 218-213. There’s now a different version of the legislation that’s in play. And, as is often the case, the hurdle is the Senate. Specifically, the Senate filibuster. So some Republicans are trying to save the SAVE America Act.It’s important to note that Trump never called for the Senate to alter the filibuster in his State of the Union address. But in a post last week on Truth Social, Trump declared, “The Republicans MUST DO, with PASSION, and at the expense of everything else, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.”Again, the president didn’t wade into questions about overcoming a filibuster. But “MUST DO” and “at the expense of everything else” is a clear directive from the commander in chief.That’s why there’s a big push by House Republicans and some GOP senators to alter…

“The world is not supposed to know what the hell they did with me. I’m not supposed to be commanding this army. I’m not even supposed to be in England. Let the first bastards to find out be the goddamned Germans,” came the roar of actor George C. Scott in his famous delivery of George S. Patton’s speech to the Third Army. “Some day, I want them to rise up on their piss-soaked hind legs and howl ‘Ach! It’s the goddamned Third Army and that son-of-a-bitch Patton again!’”For many laypeople, that 1970 oratory spectacle that was their first — and perhaps only — introduction to Patton. And it stuck. Scott’s portrayal of Patton has become almost interchangeable with the veritable World War II general. The National WWII Museum in New Orleans, however, in a two-day symposium taking place on March 13-14, is exploring more than just the “blood and guts” of Patton, but an in-depth exploration of one of the war’s most iconic — and controversial — commanders. “I think that the reality of Patton and the image that a lot of people have of Patton diverges pretty greatly,” Bradley C. Hart, the World War II military historian at the…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Anti-war activists gathered in cities across the U.S. to condemn military strikes against the Iranian regime. One Iranian exile, however, says the protesters have it wrong and is warning Americans not to fall for what she calls a dangerous narrative.The U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury after nuclear negotiations with Tehran failed, which President Donald Trump cited as justification for the military campaign. While critics described the mission as a “war of choice,” Iranian American scholar Nazee Moinian argued the strikes constituted an act of self-defense.”I want the American people to understand that if it was not an imminent threat, it was a solidly, aggressively patient threat waiting to pounce at any moment to do great damage to American interests,” Moinian said of Iran on “The Fox News Rundown” podcast.In the hours after the first strikes on Iran, demonstrations were held across the country in places like Times Square and outside the White House to protest the military action.FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE CONDOLEEZZA RICE CALLS ON TRUMP ADMIN TO ‘TAKE CARE’ OF IRAN FOR GOOD Moinian, an associate fellow at the Middle East Institute who left Iran following the 1979 Islamic…

Since the United States and Israel began their joint offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, the U.S. has targeted and taken out more than 60 Iranian ships, weakening Iran’s naval combat power, according to U.S. Central Command Commander Adm. Brad Cooper.As the war enters its 12th day, Cooper took to X to provide updates on Operation Epic fury and the ongoing American attacks in Iran. “We also took out the last of four Soleimani-class warships,” Cooper said. “That’s an entire class of Iranian ships now out of the fight.”The first of the guided missile Iranian catamarans were delivered to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy in 2022, and were the first Iranian warships to possess vertical launch systems capable of medium-range surface-to-air missiles, according to the U.S. Naval Institute.To date, the U.S. has struck more than 5,500 targets inside Iran, said Cooper.The offensive assault is not letting up either.According to Cooper, on March 10 the U.S. military launched “strike waves nearly every hour from different locations and directions going into Iran,” with the U.S. bomber force taking out a large ballistic missile manufacturing facility.RELATEDThe military strikes — which the commander described as “unpredictable, dynamic and decisive” — will continue to…

Choosing the right defensive handgun for you means finding the right blend of size and features for your lifestyle. This can take some time, and just when you think you’ve settled on the right gun, your needs can suddenly change and you’re out gun shopping once more. The correct holster makes all the difference when carrying a compact pistol like the Hellcat .380. Shown left to right are the DeSantis Pocket Partner, DeSantis Suede Nemesis and the Elite Survival Systems Mainstay. Deeper Cover This was my case many years ago when I found myself in a situation where the need to be discreet trumped all other considerations regarding choosing a handgun for concealed carry. I was legally able to carry a firearm with me, but the social implications of someone discovering I was armed would have unpleasant consequences. I weighed my options and decided that, under those circumstances, pocket carry was the right choice for me. The first reason why I chose pocket carry was for concealability. A pistol in a pocket holster looks like a formless shape that could be your keys or wallet or whatnot. Ankle carry also offered me some measure of concealment, but with greatly reduced…

Some United States lawmakers are concerned that ruler Donald Trump could be ready to put boots on the ground in Iran. That would, obviously, mean that this war is going to expand and cause a lot of pain and destruction before it’s all over. While speaking after a closed-door briefing with members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Senator Richard Blumenthal said the administration appears to be moving toward the possibility of sending U.S. forces into Iran. The comments at the classified briefings with administration officials left some democrat senators with what they described as significant unanswered questions about the war’s objectives and scope. Blumenthal said lawmakers are still seeking clarity on the costs of the war, its expected duration, and the risks to US personnel. Considering Trump’s White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt refused to rule out conscriptions, the democrats have concerns, just as the American public should. The real question is will anyone actually go to war? Can the ruling class force people to kill or be killed in 2026? Trump Administration Refuses To Rule Out A Military Draft “We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish…
