NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Iran launched missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. military facilities in multiple Middle Eastern countries Friday, retaliating after coordinated U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iranian military and nuclear-linked sites.Explosions were reported in or near areas hosting American forces in Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan, according to regional officials and state media accounts. Several of those governments said their air defense systems intercepted incoming projectiles.It remains unclear whether any U.S. service members were killed or injured, and the extent of potential damage to American facilities has not yet been confirmed. U.S. officials have not publicly released casualty figures or formal damage assessments.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) described the operation as a direct response to what Tehran called “aggression” against Iranian territory earlier in the day. Iranian officials claimed they targeted U.S. military infrastructure and command facilities. The United States military earlier carried out strikes against what officials described as high-value Iranian targets, including IRGC facilities, naval assets and underground sites believed to be associated with Iran’s nuclear program. One U.S. official told Fox News that American forces had “suppressed” Iranian air defenses in the initial wave of strikes.Tomahawk cruise missiles…

The U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on Iran on Saturday, with President Donald Trump calling on the Iranian public to “seize control of your destiny” and rise up against the Islamic leadership that has ruled the nation since 1979.Some of the first strikes appeared to hit areas around the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Iranian media reported strikes nationwide. Smoke could be seen rising from the capital. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the 86-year-old leader was in his offices at the time of the strike.“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations,” Trump said in a video announcing “major combat operations” were underway. “For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it.”Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed that sweeping goal. “Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands,” Netanyahu said.The strikes opened a stunning new chapter in U.S. intervention in Iran and marked the second time in eight months that the Trump administration has used military force against the Islamic Republic. They also…

European leaders held emergency security meetings and scrambled to protect their citizens in the Middle East after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Saturday that triggered global concerns of escalation into a broader conflict.French President Emmanuel Macron called for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting in response to the U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran. Germany and the U.K. are holding their own emergency meetings Saturday to discuss the situation. The European Union is evacuating some staff from the region and European leaders are planning to coordinate further responses.The responses come after the U.S. and Israel launched a major attack on targets across Iran, and U.S. President Donald Trump called on the Iranian people to “take over your government” — an extraordinary appeal that suggested they could be seeking to end the country’s theocracy after decades of tensions.The strikes by the U.S. create a dilemma for its democratic allies. While European leaders firmly oppose Iran’s nuclear program and crackdowns by its hard-line theocracy, they are loath to embrace unilateral military action by Trump that could breach international law and unleash a broader conflict.Trump’s strikes on Iran last June, and the arrest of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro last month, caused a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The second round has begun. The United States and Israel have launched coordinated military strikes inside Iran, citing an existential threat tied to Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs. Explosions have been reported in Tehran and other cities. Iranian airspace was penetrated. Iran’s Supreme Leader has reportedly been moved to a secure location. Tehran has already launched counter-missiles and is vowing further retaliation, including potential strikes against U.S. bases if attacks continue.The strikes are called “Operation Epic Fury.” It is the most significant U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran since last year’s Operation Midnight Hammer.The military question was never whether we could strike.It was always what happens next.We’ve Been Here BeforeLast June, Operation Midnight Hammer sent seven B-2 stealth bombers and a guided-missile submarine against Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Fourteen 30,000-pound bunker-busters and more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles struck in under half an hour. President Donald Trump called it “complete and total obliteration.”It was not. Damage was severe. But subsequent intelligence assessments concluded the program was set back by months, not years. Iran had reportedly moved portions of its enriched uranium stockpile before the strikes. By late 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency…

“On 7 January 1945, while leading a voluntary fighter sweep over Negros Island, he risked an extremely low altitude in an attempt to save a fellow flier from attack, crashed and was reported missing in action.” This was the last of several citations summarizing the deeds that added up to a Medal of Honor for Maj. Thomas McGuire Jr. It also chronicles a culmination of ambition and hubris that ended the brilliant career of the second-ranking fighter pilot in the United States air services. Born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on Nov. 17, 1920, McGuire attended the Georgia School of Technology for three years, then enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserves as a flying cadet on July 12, 1941. On Feb. 2, 1942, he was rated a pilot and second lieutenant at Kelly Field, Texas. While training at San Antonio, he met and married Marilynn Giesler, who he nicknamed “Pudgy,” a sobriquet that would appear on all his fighters thereafter. From June 18 to Oct. 16, he flew Bell P-39Fs with the 56th Squadron, 54th Pursuit Group in Nome, Alaska, but on March 13, 1943, he was reassigned to warmer climes in the 9th Squadron, 49th Fighter Group, over Papua New…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump encouraged the Iranian people to take over their government once the United States and Israel finished “major combat operations” in Iran, marking a dramatic escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran.The U.S. and Israel launched the joint attack just after 9 a.m. local time in what the Pentagon has dubbed “Operation Epic Fury.”In video remarks posted to Truth Social, Trump addressed the Iranian people directly and told them to “seize control of [their] destiny.””The hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your home. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take,” Trump said. “This will be, probably, your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No President was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a President who is giving you what you want.” “America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force,” Trump directed at Iranians. “Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York City landlords are sharply criticizing remarks from a top housing official in Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration who previously linked homeownership to white supremacy, calling the comments “racist” and dismissive of immigrant property owners.Cea Weaver, a longtime housing activist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), was tapped by Mamdani to be his director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants.Speaking about housing policy and equity in a March 2021 DSA video, Weaver said, “For centuries we’ve really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good, and we are going to…in transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity, will require that we think about it differently.””Families, especially White families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have,” she added. Weaver also faced backlash for a 2019 tweet where she wrote, “private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of White supremacy masquerading as ‘wealth building’ public policy.”Weaver’s statement drew the attention of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Democrats in the House and the Senate on Capitol Hill clapped back with criticisms about President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, calling him out for “lies” and suggesting the president isn’t winning the way Trump says he is. Some Democrats, like Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., argued that Trump’s move to blame former President Joe Biden for the current affordability issues Americans are facing is expired, while Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said he had to up-and-leave the president’s address because he was talking about making America healthier, describing the claim as a “lie.” Markey wasn’t the only Capitol Hill Democrat to accuse Trump of lying during his State of the Union speech, with Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., using the same attack line.”I don’t want to respond to all of Dr. Trump’s lies,” Booker said when asked about Trump’s address to the nation. But, in the process of discussing Trump’s approach to immigration, Blumenthal did admit “that the border is more secure.” That comment, however, was quickly followed up with a criticism about how Trump is doing just that.”I’ve long favored border security. I’m pleased…
