Hundreds of U.S. citizens evacuated Iran over the past week ahead of America striking three of Irans key nuclear sites on Saturday, according to an internal State Department cable, Reuters reported.While many Americans were able to leave without issues, "numerous" citizens faced "delays and harassment" while trying to leave, the outlet added, citing the cable reportedly dated on Friday. Two citizens attempting to leave Iran were reportedly detained.The reported evacuation difficulties faced by Americans underscore the broader challenges Washington has encountered in assisting its nationals inside Iran, a country that has not had any diplomatic ties with the U.S. since the Iranian Revolution in 1979.The State Department told Fox News Digital that U.S. citizens may face more difficulty exiting than those who hold U.S.-Iranian dual citizenship.STATE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT HAS PROVIDED GUIDANCE TO MORE THAN 25,000 PEOPLE IN ISRAEL, WEST BANK AND IRAN"We remind U.S. citizens not to travel to Iran for any reason due to the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, arbitrary arrest of U.S. citizens, and wrongful detention," a State Department spokeperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday. "U.S.-Iranian dual nationals must exit Iran on Iranian passports and should be prepared to encounter checkpoints and questioning from Iranian authorities before departing Iran. The Iranian government does not recognize dual nationality and will treat U.S.-Iranian dual nationals solely as Iranian citizens.""If you plan to leave Iran, the Department has opened a crisis intake form for U.S. citizens in Iran to pass information about consular assistance," the department added. "Due to the limitations of U.S. consular support in Iran, U.S. citizens seeking departure should take advantage of existing means to leave Iran. The crisis intake form and the latest information for U.S. citizens seeking to depart Israel and Iran can be found on our banner page on travel.state.gov."US AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL MIKE HUCKABEE INDICATES US IS WORKING TO OFFER EVACUATION OPTIONSState Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said during a press briefing on Friday that the U.S. has no higher priority than the safety and security of Americans, adding that the administration has offered guidance to thousands of people on how to leave Iran and Israel amid rapidly escalating tensions between the two countries."We do not anticipate offering direct U.S. government-assisted departure from Iran," Bruce said. "The Department of State has provided information and support to over 25,000 people seeking guidance regarding the situation in Israel, the West Bank, and Iran."Americans seeking to depart Iran were advised to use land routes viaAzerbaijan, Armenia or Turkey while Iranian airspace remains closed, according to a State Department travel alert. The government may be able to assist American citizens once they exit the borders.TUGBOATS, CRUISE SHIPS AND FLIGHTS: ISRAEL BEGINS EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF CITIZENS AMID IRAN WARThe State Department does not have official figures, but thousands of U.S. citizens are thought to be residing in Iran, Reuters reported.Meanwhile.

New satellite images of Irans Fordow nuclear facility reveal the aftermath of a massive bomb strike that the U.S. military launched as part of its Operation Midnight Hammer.The U.S. launched a surprise strike using B-2 stealth bombers on Irans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities on Saturday."All three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction," Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Dan Caine said during a briefing at the Pentagon on Sunday morning. He added that the full extent of the battle damage to the facilities would take time to assess.Fordow, Iran's underground nuclear enrichment site, was pictured in satellite images showing from a bird's-eye view that the strike had obliterated some structures at the site.EXPERTS CONFIDENT IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AFTER MASSIVE US STRIKEIn satellite images taken days earlier, trucks and vehicles can be seen at the Fordow site.Fordow is built into the side of a mountain near the city of Qom, about 60 miles southwest of Tehran.The International Atomic Energy Agency said off-site radiation levels have not increased following the strikes on threenuclear sites in Iran."Following attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran - including Fordow - the IAEA can confirm that no increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of this time," the IAEA wrote in a post on X Sunday morning.Fox News Digital reached out to the IAEA via email for comment on whether nuclear material had been moved from any of the three sites ahead of the strike.IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said in a statement that he will call an emergency meeting on Monday following the strikes.A FULL BREAKDOWN OF OPERATION MIDNIGHT HAMMER, THE LARGEST B-2 OPERATIONAL STRIKE IN US HISTORYCaine also detailed how Operation Midnight Hammer was the "largest B-2 operational strike in US history."The operation employed advanced deception tactics and used more than 125 aircraft to carry out the success of 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, according to Caine, including 14 30,000-pound GBU 57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, the first operational use of this weapon.

Iran's days of "playing the world" are over, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News on Sunday, one day after the U.S. obliterated three of the nation's key nuclear facilities in a surprise attack."The most important thing I hope that they realize is that the game is up," he told "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo."They have played the world for 40-something years with these nuclear talks and delaying things they're not going to play President Trump, and they found out last night that when he says he's going to do something, he'll do it. And he doesn't want to do it. It's not his first choice, but it's the only choice. That's the choice the Iranian regime left us, because they play too many games."While distinguishing the regime from the Iranian people, Rubio accused the former of using diplomacy to "hide" and "buy themselves time" in the past.HEGSETH, MILITARY BRASS DESCRIBE INCREDIBLE AND OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF US STRIKES ON IRAN"They think they're cute," he continued. "They're not cute, and they're not going to get away with this stuff, not under President Trump."Rubio went further by critiquing Iran's leadership for failing to directly negotiate with the United States, forcing the need for a middleman while the regime opts for "passing messages.""We're not doing that anymore," he said succinctly."With direct negotiations, let's talk about how we peacefully resolve this problem. The Europeans have pressured them on that point, and we encourage them to continue to do so and are grateful that they've been doing that so far."TRUMP DECLARES 'VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK' ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITEThe U.S. launched "Operation Midnight Hammer" on Saturday with B-2 stealth bombers departing from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri at 12:01 a.m.Some of the bombers flew to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy, top defense officials revealed on Sunday. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called it a "deception effort known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders."The main strike force proceeded to fly silently eastward, undertaking the 18-hour flight to the target area, Caine said.President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the White House following the attacks on Saturday night, touting the success in taking out the Iranian regime's three key facilities Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan."Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," he said, warning that the regime should answer the call for peace or risk "far greater" tragedy.

Princess Diana was ready to put royal protocol to the test to prove she was a "free woman."The late Princess of Wales is the subject of the upcoming "Princess Dianas Style & A Royal Collection" auction, which takes place on June 26 in Los Angeles. It will feature some of fashion designer Jacques Azagurys design illustrations for Diana, and fabric swatches from some of her famous dresses."It feels wonderful [to keep her memory alive]," Azagury, who helped Diana revamp her style during her final years, told Fox News Digital during a private preview at The Peninsula Residences London. "Anything that I can do thats going to carry on the legacy of the princess, I will always do it Its a way of keeping her alive really."SYLVESTER STALLONE AND RICHARD GERE ALMOST BRAWLED OVER PRINCESS DIANA AT ELTON JOHNS PARTY: AUTHORAzagury said he met Diana in 1985 when he was showing his new collection in London. They were introduced by Anna Harvey, deputy editor of British Vogue."She immediately put me at ease," he described. "She had this amazing ability to make you feel completely at ease in no time."In return, Azagury would help Diana step out of her shell."In her later years, Diana embraced this sexier, sleeker look, which was my aim," he explained."My aim was really to just get her out of all these frills and frumpy skirts that she was wearing at the beginning. As her life was developing, she had to be on the international stage, and it was my job to make her fit there. Gradually, I simplified and simplified her right to the end until there wasnt really that much dress. It was more about the princess and the fit of the dress."According to reports, British royals are subject to strict fashion rules. And as the wife of the future king, Diana was expected to follow them. But as her marriage publicly crumbled, Diana was ready to send a new message using her style.WATCH: PRINCESS DIANA'S DESIGNER EXPLAINS WHY HE DENIED HER BOLD FASHION REQUESTOne of the most iconic looks was "The Revenge Dress," a slinky little black dress that she wore in 1994, on the same night that her ex-husband, the former Prince Charles, confessed his infidelity on national television. Reports claimed that Diana owned the Christina Stambolian design for three years, but never wore it until then because it was too daring.Charles and Diana separated in 1992. Their divorce was finalized in 1996. And it was during the 90s that Azagury created "The Famous Five," a collection of dresses that showed Diana in a new light."This is a period when you see the Diana that we all loved, where she was feeling free from her marriage," said Azagury."It was her new life starting. She was fit, she was training. She looked phenomenal, and these dresses were saying exactly what she wanted to say, that she was a free woman. She could wear what she wanted to wear. She moved away from royal protocol with the length of the dresses. It was kind of a rebellion, but not a rebellion. But it was her way of telling people that shes her own woman."But Azagury admitted he wasnt prepared for Dianas bold fashion request."[She surprised me] only once," he said. "She wanted to go super short on the dresses, and we wouldnt allow it, particularly on that blue [Swan Lake dress from June 1997]. It was quite a low dcolletage and quite short anyway, and she wanted to go even shorter. We just said, Look, youre not going to have a dress left and you are a princess. Weve got to remember youre a princess. So it was way short anyway, so thats really the only request we would not abide by."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERAzagury said that one of Dianas favorite colors to wear was black, which, for the royals, is typically reserved for mourning. But the princess, who was thriving during the era of supermodels, wore several pieces by Azagury that were low-cut, figure-hugging, and showcased her bare, lean arms. Her "Venice" dress from 1995 was a bright red silk two-piece featuring a short skirt. The 1997 "Washington" dress featured a deep V cut in the back."After Dianas marriage, she portrayed herself in a slightly different manner," Azagury explained. "She had total freedom She could wear what she wanted to wear. She was able to wear black, which she's usually not allowed to wear because royals only wear black for funerals.""So the minute she was away from that, the first dress we made for her was a black dress we made for her after the Martin Bashir interview a black sexy dress," he shared. "That was her way of saying, This is me, this is the new me. Im confident.' And it had all of those things in that one dress. She treated the dresses like that all the way through."And as one of the most photographed women in the world, there was no room for error, Azagury stressed."As a designer, my main thing was to make sure that every single little thing on the dress was perfect," he said. "She was stepping out of her shell, and she would have 500 photographers surrounding her, so everything had to be perfect, even though the dresses were very, very simple.""It took a lot of work to get everything immaculate, and that was my job," he said. "We never had any mishaps at all. We just didnt want to end up in a circle of shame with a bit of something sticking out. So really, it was my job to make sure that everything was perfect for her."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAzagury created what royal watchers have coined the "Final Goodbye" dress. It was a full-length black dress highlighting a plunging neckline, thin straps and a high front slit. Diana was fitted for it in London just before she flew to Paris."I think it mightve been for a Disney premiere, so we wanted to make it more wow than the other dresses and make it really Hollywood red carpet," said Azagury. "All that had to be done was to [adjust] the straps. Sadly, she never got back to wear it."But her legacy lives on, he said."The princess is still indirectly affecting fashion, affecting the other royals," said Azagury. "Of course, anytime that Kate wears something that possibly remotely looks like something Diana wore it always gets compared in the newspapers. So, shes still there.""In a way, the dresses that she wore at the time, yes, they were fashions of the time, but they were timeless pieces," he reflected. "Any of the dresses that I made, for instance, could be worn today, and they wouldnt look out of place. Theres something to say about her dress sense it went quite deep."

Multiple high-profile celebrities were brought up during witness testimony for the prosecution in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial as the government's case comes to a close.While no celebrities were mentioned during the sixth week of trial testimony in the rapper's sex trafficking and racketeering case, the first five weeks included a handful of A-list stars.Diddy's trial began May 12 with opening statements. Throughout the past week of testimony, the jury heard from special agents along with Combs' alleged "drug mule," Brendan Paul.DIDDY'S DEFENSE TEAM SIGNALS SHIFT IN TRIAL STRATEGY AS PROSECUTORS WRAP UP: EXPERTR. Kelly's lawyer, Nicole Blank Becker, told Fox News Digital that she's not surprised there haven't been more big named celebrities called to testify by the prosecution."I don't anticipate that any of those celebrities will be testifying or used as character references in this particular case. Why? Because this is really a case about whether or not he, P. Diddy, at the top of this so-called organization, is the one who is affecting the entire organization and he's ruling with an iron fist."So, under those circumstances, given all the witnesses that the government has put up, there's really no need to bring those people in," she said.With Diddy being accused of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Becker said the defense will need to separate those who have testified from the rapper."Yes, it's possible [other celebrities] were there when some things were happening. However, at this point, whatever evidence that has already come in, that evidence and those witnesses need to be taken as far away from each other to individualize their relationships, i.e. boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, instead of showing that it's some type of enterprise in which he was the puppeteer," Baker said.Here's a look at some of the celebrities mentioned in court as the prosecution prepares to wrap up their case.Sean "Diddy" Combs' former assistant, David James, testified that the rapper typically carried "25 to 30" undisclosed pill bottles. According to James, some of the pills were ecstasy."Can you describe the ecstasy that you saw him taking?" Assistant U.S. Attorney Christine Slavik asked."There were various pills, but there was one that was in the shape of a former president's face," James explained."Which former president?" the prosecutor questioned."President Obama," James answered.Diddy's ex-assistant Mia, who testified under a pseudonym, mentioned both Leonardo DiCaprio and Mick Jagger in a text to her former boss that was read in court.During her cross-examination, the disgraced music mogul's defense zeroed in on text messages Mia had sent after she had experienced alleged physical and sexual abuse by Combs. The former assistant admitted the text messages she had sent to Diddy after being terminated from her job were all positive."Love you, too. And the only things to remember are the good times, and those are the only memories I have!! Ha ha ha, like f------ hysterical ones! I'll send you everything I've got! I remember even before you had videographers with us, I carried around the little iVid thing. I found those, too. Completely forgot about them."So many magical hilarious things, like drinking 1942 on the Parrot Cay Beach and champagne under the Eiffel Tower at 4:00 a.m. in the dark; and singing with Jimmy at Interscope; and Mick Jagger trying to take me home, but I ran away; and Ibiza caves, where I got a seven-inch scar; and Hawaii 5.0, when you punched that d--- f--- for talking s--- to me; and launching Revolt; and that random underground Baccarat game where Jlolo wouldn't pay out and I stayed only, and you won 650 grand, and that little prick ran away from me, and Leo [DiCaprio] grabbed my pink bedazzled BlackBerry, and you said that Titanic mother f----- doesn't know s---. He won 10K, I won 650K. Ha ha ha. Gosh, there are trillions of stories that are amazing."Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi both took the stand early on in Diddy's trial.Cassie, who dated the rapper from 2007 until 2018, testified about the alleged abuse she experienced. Most of her testimony focused on the "freak offs" she claimed she had been forced to participate in. The alleged events would go on for multiple days and require the singer-songwriter to have sex with other men in front of Diddy.Kid Cudi took the stand and told the jury he believed Diddy had been involved in a home break-in and a car fire that left his Porsche damaged beyond repair. According to Kid Cudi, the alleged incidents occurred in 2011 after Diddy found out about his relationship with Cassie. At the time, Cassie and Diddy had apparently been on a break.CASSIE VENTURA EMERGES AS STAR WITNESS IN DIDDY'S FEDERAL SEX CRIMES TRIAL: EXPERTFormer Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard testified that Usher was at a dinner where Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly punched Cassie Ventura in the stomach."We were having a private conversation, and we were all sitting, eating at the tables together," Richard recalled during her testimony. "When I say we, I mean some Bad Boy, some of our other label, and even some celebrities were in the room. And they were secretly arguing, and he punched her in the stomach. Sean Combs punched her in the stomach.""She immediately bent over and then was he was he told her to leave, because I could see him point out, and she went out and left the room," she added.Richard claimed that music executive Harve Pierre, two of Diddy's assistants, the rapper's security and Kaleena Harper had been present for the West Hollywood dinner. During cross-examination, it was revealed that Richard hadn't mentioned all of the celebrities at the dinner."Usher was there, Jimmy Iovine was there, Ne-Yo came through," Richard eventually added. "There were a few others, too. I don't recall those people, but those are the ones I remember talking to."After Diddy's former assistant, who testified under the pseudonym Mia, was let go in March 2017, she was hired by pop star Madonna.The rapper's defense team had questioned Mia about whether she had worked in the "same industry" as before after being fired.When asked what the ex-assistant did for Madonna, Mia replied, "A myriad of things.""I was hired to help lead her film division," Diddy's former employee claimed on the stand. "She also needed help restructuring her internal executive team, then it morphed into multiple roles."DIDDY'S ALLEGED 'SEXUAL DEVIANT' BEHAVIOR DOESN'T PROVE GOVERNMENT'S CASE: EXPERTRihanna and Beyonc were mentioned during Bryana Bongolan's testimony. Cassie Ventura's friend claimed the two had been working on a clothing line with Diamond Supply Company.According to Bongolan, the two released a few collections during a two-year period. However, the clothing lines didn't work out, due to "internal" reasons at Diamond Supply Company.Cassie's friend agreed with Diddy's defense lawyer that the clothing lines had not succeeded because the two had been competing with Rihanna and Beyonc.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

Diddy's lawyer asked the ex-assistant."Um, talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey," Clark said. "Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist."Clark described a studio artist as "a little bit more comfortable in the vocal booth to have a little bit of things equalized for you and, you know, engineered properly. Less of a live performer."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERDiddy's ex-girlfriend mentioned three basketball superstars during her testimony. Jane, testifying under a pseudonym, told the jury she had sometimes used nicknames to refer to Diddy and a male escort named Paul during the trio's alleged "hotel nights.""Trifecta," was one nickname. Jane explained they had used it "because it's three.""I think Sean was the one who said Trifecta," Jane testified. "And then it became Trifecta."Jane also testified that they hd given each other nicknames relating to sports stars Kobe Bryant, Shaq and Michael Jordan. Jane was Bryant, Diddy was Jordan, and the male escort was often referred to as Shaq, according to her testimony.

Iran may try to retaliate against the U.S. after a stealth strike hit three key Iranian nuclear facilities, though the regime lacks the capabilities to make a "significant escalation," an expert on the Middle East and U.S. national security told Fox News Digital on Sunday.Jacob Olidort, the director of the Center for American Security at the America First Policy Institute, said Iran is "a lot of bark right now," and anticipated that there "might be a small bite" from the regime directed at the U.S."I do foresee some kind of face-saving efforts," Olidort said, noting that Iran could potentially launch cyber-attacks or attacks on infrastructure in the region.Iran has already launched more missiles at Israel in the wake of the U.S. militarys Operation Midnight Hammer, striking at least 10 impact sites and injuring at least 20 people in Israel.RUBIO DECLARES IRAN'S DAYS OF PLAYING THE WORLD OVER AFTER TRUMP'S DECISIVE STRIKEBut Olidort said he didnt expect "any significant escalation" from Iran, not because of the regimes lack of will to do so, but because it now simply lacks the capabilities for a stronger response after Israel launched waves of its own strikes against the regime earlier this month.Israel has said its strikes targeted Irans nuclear facilities and ballistic missile sites, and killed multiple Iranian military leaders.In the hours after the strikes, Tehran said that the time for diplomacy had passed and that it had the right to defend itself. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has declared that "now is the time for peace."As for the impact on the power Iran wields through its force of proxies in the region, Olidort said its notable that none of them have immediately jumped to Irans aid following the U.S. strikes, which possibly points to Irans weakness.Olidort said the U.S. operations impact on Irans nuclear program could set the regimes goal of achieving a nuclear weapon back "a considerable amount.""Before these strikes, Israel had taken out many of Irans capabilities and many of its nuclear scientists," he said, adding that he estimated Israel had already set back Irans nuclear program by two to three years.EXPERT CONFIDENT IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM IS NO LONGER AFTER MASSIVE US STRIKEThe U.S. strikes may now have hindered Irans nuclear program by upwards of a decade, according to Olidort, though he said that the timeframe largely depends on what actions or agreements the U.S. and Iran make in the days to come.The U.S. launched a surprise strike using B-2 stealth bombers on Irans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities on Saturday.Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a briefing at the Pentagon on Sunday morning that the full extent of the battle damage to the facilities would take time to assess.It remained unclear as of Sunday whether any enriched nuclear material was destroyed in the U.S. strikes or if Iran had moved the material beforehand.

One of the most famous moments in the lead-up to the Iraq war in 2003 was when then-Secretary of State Colin Powell cited the Pottery Barn rule regarding the Middle East: "If you break it, you buy it."Sadly, that is precisely what happened back then, as the war turned into a 12-year slog in which almost 5,000 American soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice without achieving the goal of a stable and modern Iraq.That is the cloud under which American B-2 bombers pierced the night sky in Iran on Sunday, just after 12 a.m. local time, attacking three Iranian nuclear facilities in an operation aptly dubbed Midnight Hammer.RUBIO DECLARES IRAN'S DAYS OF 'PLAYING THE WORLD' OVER AFTER TRUMP'S DECISIVE STRIKEWhat the Trump administration understands here is that while it is good to learn the lessons of the Iraq War, it is bad to be paralyzed by them, and Saturdays strike was a good example of both principles.Obviously, the most vital difference between this weekends strike on Iran and the Iraq War is that we do not even have boots on the ground in Iran, much less designs on occupying it, which is what created the quagmire of Iraq.Back then, we had Army colonels who, instead of leading battles, were trying to negotiate with rival tribal leaders in a culture they barely had time to understand, and no, they were not greeted as liberators.That leads us to the second major difference between now and the Iraq War. Trump is only using the military for military actions, not some vague viceregal nation-building and policing mission.A third major distinction between Iraq and our current hard place is that the government of Iran is still intact. In Baghdad there was no one in charge after Sadaam Hussein was chased off. Here, Supreme Leader AyatollahKhameini can still come to his senses and give up his countrys nuclear weapons program, or whatever is left of it.Last, but not least, the Iraq War was squarely led by the United States, with our "coalition of the willing" some distance behind us. This is a war between Israel and Iran. All we did was assist a close ally with a mission that caused no Iranian deaths.On Sunday morning, both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance were making the TV circuit and both unequivocally stated that the United States is not "at war" with Iran, the polar opposite of 2003.Any choice Trump made on Iran, to attack, not to attack, was going to come with risk. And there is certainly a legitimate fear that Iran could respond with attacks on our troops in the region, or even a terror attack in the U.S. that would draw us into a Middle East meat grinder.But this was also true when Trump killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani back in 2020. Swift and deadly revenge was promised by the mullahs, but it never materialized. They knew then, and likely still do, that a wider war against America is madness.Meanwhile, unlike Barack Obama, who drew more redlines in the sand of the Middle East than Yosemite Sam, all while never backing it up, Trump just showed Americas foes that he will do what he says. That's as powerful a negotiating tool as there can be.Even just hours after the attack, carried off flawlessly by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his forces, you can sense that there is no great building fear of a wider war here.Democrats, with a few exceptions such as staunch Israel-supporter Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, are upset that Trump didnt get Congressional approval. But they arent really warning about forever wars.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe non-interventionist wing of the MAGA movement, which was very loud online against military action, has lost this one internal battle, but is mostly back in the fold. Nobody wins them all.In the end, Trump did what he always does. He looked at a problem everyone said had no solution, like moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, or closing the border, and decided he would be the one who finally slammed the door on Irans nuclear ambitions.One week before Saturdays attack, the United States Army celebrated its 250th birthday with a military parade in Washington D.C. Critics called it pointless, or self-aggrandizement by Trump, when in fact, it was a display of Americas incomparable military might.On Saturday, Iran and its supreme leader learned that those lines of marching troops, those machines and flyovers were much, much more than simply a parade.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DAVID MARCUS
