Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Saturday that President Donald Trump's strike on Iran's nuclear program was, in many ways, a "bold and good move.""I think from a strictly military perspective, this was a decisive, bold, consequential attack. Iran was in a weakened condition. The U.S. had the technology to carry out what is probably a long-term impact, on Iran's nuclear program," he said.Trump announced Saturday that the U.S. had struck three Iranian nuclear sites. The president said the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities were "totally obliterated" during a brief address from the White House."So I was surprised he ordered the attack. But, I think it was in many ways a bold and good move, certainly for Israel and, to some extent, the United States," McCaffrey said.FETTERMAN BACKS TRUMP AFTER IRAN STRIKES: 'THE CORRECT MOVE'"By the way, the reason I was surprised, I think its a political disaster for him. His own party is split apart [on] the issue. The Democrats oppose it, the American people oppose it, and it presumes there won't be an Iranian counterstrike," McCaffrey added.The retired general said Iran was likely to retaliate and added "were at war with Iran right now."Asked by Wallace if the president believed they were at war with Iran, McCaffrey said Trump was "hopeful" about a negotiation."I think hes probably incorrect on that. Again, I would assert that the Iranians have very few viable military options, one of which, however, to close the Persian Gulf, affects the price of oil dramatically," he told Wallace.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREIran lashed out at Israel after the U.S. struck three Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday.Retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Saturday that he was impressed by the U.S. strikes against Iran's nuclear sites, praising Trump's use of "deception and trickery.""Im fascinated and, candidly, Im impressed," he said. "I never really could understand what the two-week pause meant, or what it was for, what was left to negotiate, what were we going to expect the Iranians to offer? In many ways, it was much like a Trump deal. I mean, hes trying to make a deal to buy an apartment, but all of a sudden the apartment was destroyed, so wheres the negotiation? So I think the use of deception and trickery in this case, first of all, was successful. But second of all, saved the potential loss of American lives."

The Pentagon on Sunday shared details about Operation Midnight Hammer, the massive, complicated mission that struck three key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, calling it the "largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history."Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon that "the scope of this was intentionally limited" in his first formal remarks following the strikes, though he added that the capabilities of the American military "are nearly unlimited."Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailed the operations timeline and the deception tactics employed that went into striking Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.The operation commenced when B-2 stealth bombers launched from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning.Some of the bombers flew to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy. Caine called it a "deception effort known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders."HEGSETH, MILITARY BRASS DESCRIBE INCREDIBLE AND OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF US STRIKES ON IRANThe main strike force of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members, flew silently eastward with minimal communications as it undertook the 18-hour flight to the target area, Caine said.The aircraft in the group were refueled multiple times while in flight. When overland, the strike group linked up with escort and support aircraft from Central Command.Caine described the link-up as "a complex, tightly timed maneuver requiring exact synchronization across multiple platforms in a narrow piece of airspace, all done with minimal communications."Around 5 p.m. ET (12:30 a.m. in Iran), a U.S. submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets as the main strike force entered Iranian airspace.More deception tactics were used, Caine said, and support aircraft pushed out in front of the main strike group at a high altitude and speed to sweep for enemy fighters and surface-to-air missile threats.As the B-2 main strike group approached Fordow and Natanz, support aircraft used high-speed suppression weapons to ensure its safe passage."We are currently unaware of any shots fired at the U.S. strike package on the way in," Caine told reporters.The Fordow nuclear facility was struck at around 6:40 p.m. EST, or about 2:10 a.m. in Iran.The lead B-2 dropped two GBU 57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) weapons, commonly known as bunker-busters, on the first of several aim points at Fordow.The remaining bombers also hit their targets, with a total of 14 MOPs dropped on Fordow and Natanz, Caine said.The Tomahawk missiles launched by U.S. submarines were the last to strike, hitting their targets at Isfahan.After releasing their weapons in the massive strike, the aircraft exited Iranian airspace to return home to Whiteman Air Force Base. Caine said the U.S. military was not immediately aware of any shots being fired at the strike group on its way out of Iranian airspace."Iran's fighters did not fly, and it appears that Iran's surface-to-air missile systems did not see us throughout the mission," Caine said. "We retained the element of surprise."TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESOperation Midnight Hammer used more than 125 aircraft in the mission, including seven B-2 stealth bombers, multiple fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of air refueling tankers, a guided missile submarine and "a full array" of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, Caine said.U.S. forces launched approximately 75 precision-guided munitions, including 14 GBU 57 massive Ordnance penetrators, which weigh 30,000 pounds each. The operation marked the first-ever operational use of this weapon, Caine said.Caine called the operation the "largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history," and that "no other military in the world could have done this.""This mission demonstrates the unmatched reach, coordination and capability of the United States military in just a matter of weeks," Caine said. "This went from strategic planning to global execution."Caine also said this was the second-longest B-2 mission ever flown, exceeded only by missions flown in the days following 9/11.

J.J. Spaun was born and raised in the Los Angeles suburb of San Dimas. He was the unlikely winner of the U.S. Open golf tournament yesterday. He is 34 years old and had only one PGA tournament win before winning the most difficult tournament in all of golf.He started the tournament just one shot behind the leader but promptly bogeyed five of the first six holes of the final round Sunday, putting him seemingly out of the competition. Then heavy rain came, pausing the tournament for over an hour. When he returned to the course, he did so with a renewed focus, roaring back with four birdies on the back nine while other golfers faltered in the harsh conditions. On the final hole, he miraculously sank a 64-foot putt to win.Surprisingly, he became only the second golfer in history from LA County to win a major golf tournament. (Colin Morikawa is the other; Tiger Woods is from Orange County.) But that is not what makes him a hero. He is a hero because of what he did the night before.JJ SPAUN WINS 2025 US OPEN WITH INCREDIBLE BACK-NINE CAPPED BY 64-FOOT BIRDIE PUTTSpaun is the father of two young daughters. The night before the final round, when most golfers in contention were on lockdown, focused exclusively on the task at hand, Spaun was with his wife, dealing with a very sick child. His 2-year-old daughter had caught a stomach bug and had been vomiting all night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAt 3 a.m., while his competitors were deep asleep, he went off to find some medication for his daughter. He got in his rental car and drove from the suburbs to downtown Pittsburgh to find an open CVS pharmacy. On the morning of Fathers Day, he put his own need for sleep and preparation on the eve of the most important day of his professional life to fetch an over-the-counter remedy he hoped would help his sick little girl. FRENCH GOLFER VICTOR PEREZ MAKES HISTORY AT US OPEN WITH RARE ACEAfter his win, he admitted the rough night may have contributed to his very shaky start. "Im not blaming that on my start, but it kind of fit the mold of what was going on, the chaos," he said. He clearly put his chances of winning in jeopardy with his sleepless night.LA is in desperate need of heroes. It has been mired in crises, from COVID-19 lockdowns to the George Floyd riots to the explosion in homelessness and crime, to disastrous wildfires, to budget deficits, and now violent protests. We have lots of celebrities but often fail to recognize our real heroes. We oftentimes lose sight of what really matters. Too often the talk is about who is born "privileged." The only privilege that exists is the privilege of being raised by a loving mother and loving father, which, sadly now seems to be the exception, not the rule. But on this Fathers Day, a day in which we are supposed to honor fathers, Spaun put his responsibility as a father ahead of his self-interest in winning a golf tournament. In the end, he was rewarded with one of the most coveted trophies in golf, and a loving hug from his daughter, who was now feeling just fine.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JIM BRESLO

Whether the message is legitimate or not, acting quickly can help prevent unauthorized access and stop an attack in progress. Here are the steps you should take right away.1. Dont click on anything in the message: If the alert came through email or text, avoid clicking any links. Instead, go directly to the official site or app to check your account. If the request was real, there will usually be a notification inside your account.2. Check for suspicious login activity: Most accounts have a way to view your recent logins. Look for suspicious activity like unfamiliar devices, strange locations or logins you dont recognize. A login from a location you have never been to could be a sign of a breach.3. Change your password: Even if nothing looks wrong, its a good idea to reset your password. Choose one that is long, complex and unique. Avoid reusing passwords across different accounts. Consider using apassword manager to generate and store complex passwords. Get more details about mybest expert-reviewed Password Managers of 2025 here.4. Scan your device for threats: If someone got access to your password, there is a chance your device is compromised. Usestrong antivirus software to scan for keyloggers or spyware.5. Report the incident: If the alert came from a suspicious message, report it. In Gmail, tap the three-dot menu and select Report phishing. For other services, use the official website to flag unauthorized activity. You can also file a report at theFBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center if you suspect a scam.You can take a few steps to try to reduce the number of emails you receive requesting a password reset.1. Double-check your username and password.When accessing your account, you may have a typo in your login information.

(Because many of them are spam, some email clients do this automatically.) Should you ever legitimately request a password reset, though, youll need to remember to look in the spam folder for the message.4. Use a static IP address.Some accounts attempt to recognize your device through your IP address. If you have a dynamic IP address, your IP address changes constantly, meaning the account may not recognize your device, triggering the reset message. This often occurs because you are using a VPN. See if your VPN allows you to use a static IP address.HOW SECURE IS MY PASSWORD? USE THIS TEST TO FIND OUTEven if this was a one-time scare, it is important to tighten your overall security.

Israels recent preemptive strikes and ongoing military campaign against Iran have captured global headlines as the country endeavors to neutralize the Iranian regimes offensive military and nuclear weapons capability. Just hours ago, Israels efforts to halt Irans nuclear ambitions were significantly enhanced by U.S.-delivered bunker buster bombs and Tomahawk missiles that struck three Iranian nuclear facilities. Americans must understand these military actions directly enhance U.S. national security as they weaken the numerous Iranian-supported Islamist extremist terrorist groups that threaten Americans at home and abroad.Operation Rising Lion, initiated by Israel on June 13, 2025, has targeted multiple nuclear facilities, nuclear scientists, military infrastructure, and military leadership across Iran. Irans radical Islamist regime has, time after time, publicly stated its desire even promise to "wipe Israel off the map." Operation Rising Lion, with the recent addition of American military power, will hopefully eliminate Irans ability to keep such a promise, while at the same time preventing Iran from threatening the existence of neighboring Sunni Arab states and Western countries, including the U.S., with nuclear weapons.HEGSETH, MILITARY BRASS DESCRIBE 'INCREDIBLE AND OVERWHELMING SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIran is currently the worlds largest state sponsor of terrorism, and it funds, trains, and arms terrorist groups including Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and various U.S.-designated Shia militia operating in Iraq. Preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons prevents these proxies from having access to such destructive power as well whether from a true nuclear bomb or a "dirty" bomb.Hamas, designated by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) in 1997, drafted a written charter in 1988 that declares all Jews are targets for killing. On October 7, 2023, Hamas devastating terror attack on Israel murdered 45 Americans (amongst 1200 total victims) while 12 Americans were among the 251 who were kidnapped. Is there any doubt that if Hamas were to obtain the destructive power of a nuclear device they would use it to carry out their sworn objective? For Americans who think Hamas is a foreign threat only, please know that Hamas has been in the U.S. for decades. Internal Hamas documents and FBI wiretaps, introduced as evidence in various U.S. federal criminal cases within the past 20 years, demonstrate the existence of a nationwide Hamas network engaged in fundraising, lobbying, education and propaganda dissemination dating back to the 1980s.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONHezbollah, also designated by the U.S. as an FTO in 1997, has its own "Open Letter" that was written in 1985. Within this Letter, Hezbollah states one of its objectives is Israels obliteration. Additionally, the Letter states, "We are moving in the direction of fighting the roots of vice and the first root of vice is America." Prior to Al Qaedas attack on the U.S. in 2001, Hezbollah was responsible for more U.S. terrorism casualties than any other Islamist extremist terrorist group. In November 2023, then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified to Congress that Hezbollah has sought to buy weaponry, seed operatives, and raise funds in America. Even though Israel has weakened Hezbollah over the past 12 months, the terror organization still exists and remains a global threat. Again, is there any doubt that if Hezbollah were to obtain nuclear weapons capability, they would use it to carry out a new form of terror against Israel, the U.S., Jews and Americans across the globe?The Houthis (Ansar Allah), first designated as an FTO by the U.S. in 2021 and re-designated in 2025 after the initial designation was revoked, have an official slogan: "Allahu Akbar. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse on the Jews. Victory to Islam." Since October 2023, the Houthis have been launching missile and drone attacks not only on Israeli civilians, but on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea believed by the Houthis to be connected to Israel, the U.S., or Western allies. Once more, the same question can be asked and easily answered about whether the Houthis would use the destructive power of a nuclear weapon if the Iranian regime were to give them this capability.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTERFinally, many Americans do not realize the Iranian regime has exported terror directly to U.S. shores already. In recent years, as per Department of Justice records, the Iranian regime has sponsored murder-for-hire plots within U.S. borders designed to assassinate former senior U.S. leaders Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, a Saudi Ambassador to the U.S., Iranian dissidents who escaped Iran and currently live in the U.S. (such as Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad), and even President Donald Trump himself. There are other examples of such plots, and all of these plots were disrupted by the phenomenal work of my FBI colleagues and numerous other partners. My point is Iran is not simply a distant threat in a far-off foreign land: Iran has targeted Americans on U.S. soil.A weakened or, better yet, a fallen Iranian regime without nuclear weapons would prevent its Islamist terrorist proxies from acquiring an unimaginable destructive power that threatens not only Israel, but the U.S. as well. Disrupting Irans nuclear ambitions would also cripple its own ability to threaten Americans on U.S. soil. Ultimately, preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons will not only make Israel safer, but it will also make the U.S. and the world safer.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINION

Iran's "supreme leader," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was reportedly a no-show for potential negotiations with the United States in Turkey last week, and then remained in hiding as the U.S. military pounded Iranian nuclear sites this weekend.President Donald Trump was reportedly working with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan to coordinate high-level talks between U.S. and Iranian officials in Istanbul last week.Trump told Erdoan he could deploy Vice President JD Vance and White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump offered to come to Turkey himself if it could mean meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to negotiate a diplomatic resolution to the Israel-Iran war and a nuclear deal, Axios reported, citing three U.S. officials and a source with direct knowledge of the matter.Trump also received "signals" from Iranian back channels hours before his call with Erdoan that they wanted to talk, one White House official told Axios. ISRAEL RECOVERS REMAINS OF THREE MORE BODIES HELD BY HAMAS: 'NO VICTORY UNTIL LAST HOSTAGE RETURNS'Erdoan and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan reportedly communicated Trump's offer to Pezeshkian and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Pezeshkian and Araghchi then sought to contact Khamenei to get his sign-off but were not able to reach him for hours. Sources told Axios the Iranians then told Turkish officials they could not get Khamenei to approve the meeting. The Turkish side then informed the U.S. that the meeting was off the table.TRUMP DECLARES VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITESAccording to the New York Times, Khamenei is sheltering in a bunker and has suspended all electronic communications with his commanders. He is relaying orders only through a trusted aide to protect his location amid assassination concerns.Trump announced in a Saturday night address from the White House that the U.S. military had "carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan." Days earlier, he indicated that the U.S. knows where to find Khamenei."We know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding," Trump wrote earlier last week. "He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we dont want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!The Iranian leader, who is active on social media and often posts multiple times a day on X, has been silent on the platform since before the U.S. strikes.According to Lisa Daftari, an Iran expert and editor-in-chief of The Foreign Desk, Iran would not be making a good-faith effort at diplomacy even if Khamenei were getting involved."Diplomacy was never going to work with a regime like Irans a regime whose entire ideology is built on Death to America and Death to Israel'," Daftari told Fox News Digital. "The mullahs were never serious about compromise or peace."Daftari said that "Trump explored every avenue, including back-channel diplomacy, but when the Supreme Leader went dark, it confirmed what weve always known: This is a duplicitous, murderous regime that isnt interested in dialogue."According to Daftari, "Trump made the right decision to act with limited, precise military strikes" to send "a clear message: If the red line was Iran getting nuclear weapons, then force targeted and decisive was the only responsible conclusion."

Progressive champion Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other Democrats quickly floated the prospect of impeaching President Donald Trump for launching a military strike on Iran without Congressional authorization."The Presidents disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers," the four-term congresswoman from New York wrote on social media Saturday night, soon after the president announced the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.Ocasio-Cortez charged that Trump "has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."CLICK HERE FOR FOX NEWS LIVE UPDATES ON THE U.S. MILITARY STRIKE ON IRANDemocrat Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois also argued that the president's order to bomb Iran's nuclear sites without seeking Congressional approval could be considered an "unambiguous impeachable offense."Casten, a four-term representative whose district covers southwestern Chicago and surrounding suburbs, wrote Saturday night on social media that "this is not about the merits of Irans nuclear program.to be clear, I do not dispute that Iran is a nuclear threat."WATCH PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FULL ADDRESS TO THE NATION ON THE IRAN STRIKEBut he highlighted that "no president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.""Im not saying we have the votes to impeach," Casten added. "Im saying that you DO NOT do this without Congressional approval."The calls for impeachment are the most visible, and furthest reaching, representation of the party's anger with Trump for taking unilateral action against Iran.PENTAGON GIVES DETAILS ON HOW THE U.S. MILITARY CARRIED OUT THE STRIKE ON IRANHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the top Democrat in the chamber, wrote that the president had "failed to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force and risks American entanglement in a potentially disastrous war in the Middle East.""Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action," Jeffries added in a statement.While the executive branch technically doesn't have the legal authority to order a foreign military attack without the approval of Congress, previous presidents, including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Trump during his first term, launched comparable military actions in Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iran.Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, in an interview Sunday morning on "Fox and Friends," criticized impeachment calls by Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats."For my colleagues that are now demanding impeachment, it is absolutely absurd," Lawler argued. "Barack Obama attacked Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen during his tenure and never once did they call for impeachment. So, these folks are truly reaching new levels of Trump derangement in the aftermath of yesterday's decision."Congress has not actually declared war since 1941, following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, and legal scholars have long been divided on whether the president has the authority to unilaterally launch a military strike.

New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud seemingly reacted to the U.S. militarys strikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night.Cloud, a WNBA champion with the Washington Mystics and three-time All-Defense Team member, fired off a few posts on social media after the strikes were announced.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"A sad sad day, Cloud wrote on X."Grounds for impeachment," she added.Cloud also retweeted a post that read, "the three branches of government dont operate under a system of checks & balances anymore democracy or autocracy?"On Instagram, Cloud shared Rep.

"And its time to break down a system that has only been about White men."Cloud added that she believes the country is putting "money over people.""I understand the business aspect and I understand the human aspect," Cloud said.

Democrats in Washington are again talking impeachment. Politicians and pundits are expressing outrage over President Donald Trump attacking Iran without a prior authorization of Congress. It is theClaude RainsSchool of Constitutional Law where politicians are "shocked, shocked" that Trump is using the authority that they accepted in Democratic predecessors. Fourteen years ago this week, I was in court litigating that very issue when President Barack Obama attacked Libya. Most Democrats supported or were silent on the action.Nevertheless, Democratic members are now calling for impeachment, while others are declaring the attacks unconstitutional. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is particularly shocked that Trump took the action and is calling for a vote under the War Powers Act.'NOT CONSTITUTIONAL': CONGRESS EVOKES NEW WAR POWERS RESOLUTION TO REJECT TRUMP'S STRIKES ON IRANSchumer insisted that "no president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has issued a similar statement.Schumer is the same politician who was silent or supportive in earlier unilateral attacks by Democratic presidents. In 2011, Obama approved a massive military campaign against Libya. I represented a bipartisan group of members of Congress challenging that action. We were unsuccessful, as were such prior challenges.I have longcriticizedthe abandonment of the clear language of the Constitution on the declaration of wars. Only eleven such declarations have been made in our history. That has not happened since World War II in 1942. Over 125 military campaigns have spanned from Korea to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. It is not a rule honored solely in the breach.Democrats were supportive when Clinton launched cruise missile attacks under Operation Infinite Reach on two continents on August 20, 1998. He ordered attacks in locations in Khartoum, Sudan, and Khost Province, Afghanistan.The War Powers Act has always been controversial and largely ineffectual. Presidents have long asserted the inherent powers to conduct such attacks under their Article II authority as the designated Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The WPA requires the President to inform Congress within 48 hours in a written notice to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate of the action.The WPA further bars the use of armed forces in such a conflict for more than 60 days without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. There is a further 30-day withdrawal period.President Trump reportedly did immediately notify Congress after the attack under the WPA.Presidents have long maintained their right to deploy military assets unilaterally without congressional approval to address imminent threats. President Thomas Jefferson did so when he went to war with the Barbary Pirates at the start of the Nineteenth Century.Presidents have also routinely ignored the WPA when it limited their ability to conduct foreign military operations. In 1999, Clinton ignored the 60-day deadline and continued to bomb forces in Kosovo. His actions were also challenged, but the court inCampbell v. Clintonjust shrugged off the violation and said it was a non-justiciable political question.In responding to the current demands, Trump could look to a curious ally: Hillary Clinton.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pushed for unilateral attacks during the Obama Administration. She dismissed the need to consult, let alone secure authorization, from Congress. In March 2011, Clinton testified that there was no need for such consultation and declared that the Administration would ignore a 60-day limit on unauthorized military actions.Obama also defied the War Powers resolution on Syria. He actually did ask for congressional authorization to take military action in that country in 2013, but Congress refused to approve it. He did it anyway. Despite Congress expressly denying "authorization for the introduction of United States Armed Forces,"both Obama and Trump did precisely that.Trump was wise to notify Congress and is currently in compliance with the Act. However, what occurs after that is anyones guess. The WPA and the AUMF have been paper tigers for decades and most in Congress wanted it that way. Politicians long ago abandoned their responsibilities to declare war. What remains has been little more than political theater.Even under the WPA, Trump would have 60 days to prosecute this war and another 30 days to draw down forces without congressional approval. The court, in Campbell v. Clinton, noted that even if Clinton violated the WPA by continuing operations after the 60-day period, he was technically in compliance by withdrawing forces before the end of the 90-day period.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONTrump could likely prosecute this campaign in 90 days. Indeed, if it goes beyond 90 days, we will likely be facing a potential global war with retaliatory strikes on both sides. In such an environment, it is very unlikely that Congress would withhold support for our ongoing operations.In the meantime, the calls for impeachment are absurd given the prior actions of presidents in using this very authority. Once again, some Democrats appear intent on applying a different set of rules for impeaching Trump than any of his predecessors. Trump can cite both history and case law in allowing presidents to take such actions. At most, the line over war powers is murky. The Framers wanted impeachments to be based on bright-line rules in establishing high crimes and misdemeanors.This is all part of the Claude Rains School of Constitutional Law. Members will once again express their shock and disgust at the use of the same authority that they once accepted from prior presidents. Trump has a great number of risks in this action from global military and economic consequences. The War Powers Act is not one of them if history is any measure.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM JONATHAN TURLEY

FIRST ON FOX As U.S. forces launched their strikes on Irans nuclear facilities, Israeli pilots had already been in the skies carrying out missions they saw as vital not only to Israels security, but to the wider effort to confront the regime's global threat.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, two Israeli Air Force (IAF) members a female combat flight navigator and a pilot whose identities are not being revealed for security reasons offered a rare, firsthand account of Israels historic air campaign against Iran.The operation, they said, is not only a fight for national survival, but a broader mission to confront global threats."Over the past days, we've been conducting precise and determined operations against the existential threat posed by the Iranian regime from western Iran to the heart of Tehran," the female combat navigator said."We've achieved air superiority, neutralizing critical infrastructure and eliminating over a third of Iran's missile capabilities. Every mission we fly is aimed at one goal, protecting the State of Israel and ensuring the safety of its citizens. We will continue to act anytime, anywhere, to defend our home."ISRAEL'S 'RESOUNDING' MILITARY CAMPAIGN AGAINST IRAN COULD BE HISTORIC TURNING POINT, EXPERTS SAYThe campaign began with a massive preemptive strike, triggered by Israeli intelligence assessments that Irans growing missile deployments and advancing nuclear program posed an immediate danger. Within hours, the Israeli Air Force launched a coordinated wave of attacks across Iran, targeting strategic military and nuclear sites.So far, the IAF has achieved complete air superiority, allowing its jets to carry out deep strikes without meaningful resistance. Dozens of Israeli fighter jets have struck over 1,000 high-value targets, according to Israeli defense officials. Among the most critical were part of the Natanz uranium enrichment site, long-range missile depots near Hamedan, drone production and command centers in Shiraz, IRGC headquarters in Tehran and sophisticated Russian-made air defense systems, including the S-300 and S-400 batteries.Speaking from an undisclosed base, the IAF pilot described the mission as both deeply operational and profoundly personal.TRUMP TO MAKE IRAN DECISION 'WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS' GIVEN 'CHANCE' OF NEGOTIATIONS, LEAVITT SAYS"During this whole operation, we've been striking a lot of missiles that were aimed towards Israel and its civilians," he said. "It fills us with a sense of fulfillment and purpose, knowing were taking out capabilities that the Iranians have to target civilians our families, our homes."Inside the cockpit, he said, there is no room for hesitation."There aren't any big feelings in the cockpit. It's the mission. You're very minded towards it," he said. "The way back is a little more free to think and to talk with a pilot, but, overall, you're very, very focused on doing the mission and making sure you don't do any mistakes that you're doing exactly as planned."Although the campaigns immediate objective is the defense of Israeli citizens, the pilot emphasized that the stakes are global."Israel is now fighting the fight of the Western world and Western civilization, taking out the head of the snake and dealing with a threat thats been imminent for the whole world," he said."Whether it's terror operations abroad, ballistic missiles or threats to ships in the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, were fighting a war for the whole world. But, first and foremost, we are fighting for our home."He pointed to Irans repeated calls for Israels destruction as clear justification for the operation."They had missiles pointed at us, their nuclear program was aimed at us. They've been saying it openly in speeches, on social media they want to destroy us," he said. "If it wasn't for the preemptive strike that we took, they would have been able to fulfill that threat in a few years."For both, the mission is not only strategic, but deeply patriotic."Theres a clear link between what were doing and the safety of the State of Israel," the pilot added. "Were destroying precision missiles aimed at our hospitals, at our homes. The nuclear program was aimed toward us. Personally, its a very good feeling to take part in this. But its also humbling to be part of such a vast operation this whole machine the Israeli Air Force and the nation standing together."
