The United States did not move a key missile defense system from South Korea to the Middle East for the Iran war, the commander of U.S. forces in Korea said on Tuesday.The Washington Post reported in March that the Pentagon was moving parts of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system to the Middle East from South Korea, citing two officials.The U.S.-made THAAD system is used for high-altitude interception of ballistic missiles and it was deployed in South Korea to guard against nuclear-armed North Korea.The commander of U.S. Forces in Korea, Gen. Xavier Brunson, was asked at a Senate committee hearing by Democratic Senator Gary Peters about South Korean concerns that moving THAAD weakened deterrence against North Korea.“We have not moved any THAAD systems, so THAAD still remains on the peninsula currently, but we are sending munitions forward, and those are sitting right now waiting to move,” Brunson said.“So there were previous moves, where radars were taken forward. This was in advance of Midnight Hammer,” he said referring to U.S. attacks on Iran last June.“Some of those things have not come back yet, but the THAAD systems themselves … remain on peninsula,” he said, adding that he expected them…

Heisman Trophy winner and projected top pick Fernando Mendoza revealed why he won’t be attending the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh on Thursday night.Mendoza’s mother, Elsa, has lived with multiple sclerosis for over 15 years and is currently using a wheelchair. The 22-year-old said his parents wanted to do the draft at home.”My mom really wanted to do it at home, and so did my parents. It’s a lot easier for us, especially with the family situation. I’m going to have to hop on a plane (in) the morning anyways. For that travel, it will be a lot easier to stay at home,” Mendoza said Monday during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show.” The last time the top projected quarterback did not attend the NFL Draft was in 2021, when Trevor Lawrence was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mendoza said that because he is staying at home, he will be able to have more people who helped him on his journey share the experience.”I wanted to stay and make the memory with everybody who poured into my football journey,” Mendoza said. “Mentors, coaches, family, friends, we want to share that memory with…
The U.S. military will no longer require service members to get an annual flu shot according to a post Tuesday by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the social media platform X. Hegseth said the mandatory flu vaccine requirement has been discarded “effective immediately.” “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force,” the secretary wrote. The flu vaccine has been required annually for U.S. military personnel since the 1950s to preserve the health of the force, and generally, the Defense Department has aimed to inoculate more than 90% of active-duty personnel. The program has been a major factor in lower rates of hospitalizations among service members than national U.S. rates, according to an October 2025 Armed Forces Health Surveillance Division report. According to the report, the annual flu vaccine has shown effective in preventing the impact of flu on older service members and is important for protecting the health of the force, particularly in close quarters at recruit stations, which have the highest rates of flu infections each year across the services. The incidence rate of hospitalizations for flu among recruits from 2010 to 2014 was 70 per 100,000 compared with the overall military rate of 7.4…

Hungary’s incoming prime minister, Peter Magyar, has warned that he will order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country. This is a sharp reversal of predecessor Viktor Orban’s policy. Hungary’s Orbán Warns: “A 3rd World War Is Knocking On The Door” Before leaving, Orban initiated Hungary’s withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC). While speaking at a press conference on Monday, Magyar said he would halt this action. As a member, Budapest would be legally responsible for enforcing arrest warrants. The ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. –RT “I made it clear to the Israeli prime minister that we are not stepping back [from the ICC]. It is the Tisza government’s intention to stop this and for Hungary to remain a member,” Magyar said. “So I think I didn’t mislead anyone. If a country is a member of the ICC and if a person who is wanted enters that country’s territory, they must be taken into custody… I assume that every state and government leader is aware of these regulations.” Earlier this week, Israel said that Magyar had…

The U.S. Navy successfully demonstrated a new standoff strike weapon earlier this month with the aim of extending the strike range of carrier-based fighter aircraft.The munition, called the GBU-75 Joint Direct Attack Munition Long Range, or JDAM-LR, was operated from an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter during testing at the Navy’s Point Mugu Sea Range, California. The JDAM-LR builds on the existing Joint Direct Attack Munition, a Boeing-developed guidance kit that converts unguided “dumb” bombs into precision-guided munitions. Standard JDAMs rely on a tail control system and GPS while functioning as gravity bombs with ranges of roughly 15 nautical miles, depending on release conditions.The long-range variant is an upgraded version of this guidance kit that adds a compact propulsion system, including a small Kratos-made turbojet engine and deployable wings by Ferra Engineering, that extend the bomb’s range to hundreds of miles. The system is designed to integrate with existing aircraft already capable of hosting JDAM weapons, which allows for rapid fielding.The JDAM-LR’s successful flight demonstrations included validating safe separation from aircraft, testing its ability to conduct controlled flight while navigating to its target, and ensuring compatibility with existing onboard systems, according to an April 20 Navy release. A Navy F/A-18 carries…

MoreNEWYou 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…

World War II in the Pacific produced a remarkable 10 fighter pilots of the United States Marine Corps who were awarded the Medal of Honor. Aside from Captain Henry T. Elrod at Wake Island, they all earned them in or around the Solomon Islands. Among them was the first to achieve ace status in a new entry to the USMC arsenal, one with which his name would be associated: Kenneth Walsh and the Vought F4U-1 Corsair.Born in Brooklyn, New York, on Nov. 24, 1916, Walsh joined the Marines as a private in 1933, serving as an aircraft mechanic and a signalman. But Walsh wanted to be in the air, not just fixing the planes, and in 1937 Walsh earned his wings and spent the next few years serving on aircraft carriers, according to the DOD.When war broke out in December 1941 Walsh was stationed with VMF-121 at New Bern, North Carolina, but by January 1943 Walsh was sent to the South Pacific with VMF-124 — the first operational Marine squadron to fly the F4U Corsair, although the Navy had introduced it earlier to its own fighter outfit, VF-17.The F4U Corsair was the first single-engine fighter to exceed 400 mph and,…

Facing jittery global markets and drooping poll numbers since launching a war on Iran, President Donald Trump has cycled from calls for “unconditional surrender” to sounding amenable to an end state in which Iran trades one hard-line ayatollah for another.Shifting comments from the Republican president and his top aides are adding to the precariousness of the 12-day-old conflict, which is impacting nearly every corner of the Middle East and causing economic tremors around the globe. With neither side budging, the war is now on an unpredictable path — one in which a credible endgame is still unclear.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday told reporters it’s up to Trump “whether it’s the beginning, the middle or the end” of the war. Trump, during the course of one speech at a House Republican gathering on Monday, went from calling the war a “short-term excursion” that could end soon to proclaiming “we haven’t won enough.”The vacillation has fueled criticism from those who say Trump lacks a clear goal. “They didn’t have a plan,” Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., told reporters. ”They have no timeline. And because of that, they have no exit strategy.”A constantly shifting goal lineSince ordering the Iran bombardment, Trump has continually…
