The chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee said the future of the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel and now the United States is "really up to Iran to decide."Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., appeared on ABC's "This Week" to discuss American strikes against Iran that he said had "severely damaged Iran's critical nuclear infrastructure.""The supreme leader and the ayatollahs in Iran need to understand that President Trump means business," Cotton said."They have a chance to sue for peace here, to dismantle whatever remnants of their nuclear program remain, and to continue to actually survive, because we haven't targeted the supreme leader, we haven't targeted their energy infrastructure, we haven't targeted other critical infrastructure," he continued.IN IRAN'S FOREVER WAR AGAINST THE US, REGIME HAS TARGETED AND KILLED AMERICANS WORLDWIDE"That's an implicit message that Iran still has things that they hold dear, that neither the United States nor Israel has struck. Iran needs to heed President Trump's warning."When asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl whether the U.S. would target Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Cotton said he would not "rule any single target in or out," but made clear that President Donald Trump "does not bluff."ISRAEL-IRAN WAR DIVIDES DEMOCRATS, BUT TRUMP'S DIPLOMACY ALSO SPLITTING REPUBLICANS"And there are still numerous targets that Iran holds very dear," Cotton warned.

Israels President Isaac Herzog lauded President Donald Trump for his "bold decision" after the U.S. president launched successful strikes on three of Irans nuclear facilities."First of all, I think we all need to commend President Trump for his bold decision. Its a historic decision, outstanding decision that clearly can shift the direction of the Middle East," Herzog said on CNNs State of the Union, Sunday.The United States launched a military strike against Irans nuclear enrichment facilities at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow late Saturday. The strike which involved multiple B-2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs on Irans enrichment facility at Fordow and submarines launching Tomahawk missiles at the other two facilities was hailed by President Trump as a "spectacular military success." U.S. and Israeli intelligence had concluded that Iran was stockpiling uranium at over 60% enrichment, a level that has no civilian use and can only be used for weaponry.HEGSETH, PENTAGON BRASS PRAISE TRUMP'S 'SPECTACULAR' MILITARY SUCCESS IN IRAN NUCLEAR STRIKESIrans nuclear program has vexed American presidents for decades. Former President Barack Obama attempted to forestall the Islamic Republics nuclear ambitions with the drafting of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or "The Iran Nuclear deal." The deal did not eliminate Irans enrichment program, but limited the extent they could enrich uranium under international supervision, in exchange for the unfreezing of funds and sanctions relief.The agreement, which contained sunset clauses that would have allowed Iran to once again pursue nuclear weapon-grade enrichment once the deal expired, was widely maligned across the political spectrum. New York Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer voted against the deal in the Senate. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the deal in a joint session of Congress. President Trump ultimately withdrew from the deal in 2018.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFormer President Joe Biden attempted to revive the JCPOA as president, but his efforts were thwarted after talks ceased following the Oct. 7 attacks which killed more Jews in a single day since the Holocaust. In the ensuing war, Israel proceeded to strike a heavy blow to Irans "Ring of Fire" of terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.President Trump, upon taking office, gave Iran 60 days to negotiate an end to its nuclear enrichment program. Iran blew past the deadline, however, and on the 61st day Israel launched a wave of strikes against Irans nuclear facilities and IRGC targets.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"He has eliminated the Iranian nuclear program, one way or another which, of course, uplifts a huge veil that was lying down on the Middle East with an Iranian threat of dominance.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was inside the Situation Room Saturday when the U.S. military launched successful strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, a White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital Sunday morning.A White House official confirmed Gabbard was in the room Saturday and that she is a "key player" on President Donald Trump's national security team.Speculation had mounted there was a rift between Gabbard and Trump after the president told the media Gabbard was "wrong" about intelligence on Iran back in March when she testified before the Senate that the nation was not actively building a nuclear weapon.Photos of the Situation Room released Saturday evening did not show Gabbard present alongside Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other administration officials. The photos, however, did not include wide shots showing the entire room or each individual present, with the White House confirming the intelligence chief was present.Trump and Gabbard appeared at odds earlier in June, when the president was asked about Gabbard's testimony before the Senate in March, when she reported intelligence showed Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon. Trump told the media June 16 he did not "care" what Gabbard had to say in previous testimony, arguing he believed Iran was close to building a nuke.'SHE'S WRONG': TRUMP SAYS TULSI GABBARD INCORRECT ABOUT IRAN NOT HAVING NUCLEAR WEAPON CAPABILITIES"You've always said that you don't believe Iran should be able to have a nuclear weapon," a reporter asked Trump while aboard Air Force One on June 16. "But how close do you personally think that they were to getting one?""Very close," Trump responded.Then again Friday, Trump said Gabbard was "wrong" after she reported that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon."My intelligence community is wrong," Trump said when asked about the intelligence community previously reporting that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon.FLARING IRAN NUCLEAR CRISIS PROVIDES FIRST MAJOR TEST FOR PIVOTAL TRUMP TRIOWhen Gabbard appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee in March, she delivered a statement on behalf of the intelligence community that included testimony that Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon."Iran's cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data," Gabbard told the committee March 26.The intelligence community "continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003," she said. She did add that "Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons.""Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorist actors, which it refers to as its axis of resistance," she warned.VANCE DEFENDS GABBARD AS 'CRITICAL PART' OF TRUMP TEAM AFTER PRESIDENT DISMISSED IRAN NUKE THREAT COMMENTSHowever, as critics picked apart Gabbard's past comments, the White House stressed to Fox Digital that Gabbard and Trump were closely aligned on Iran.A White House official told Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon that Trump and Gabbard are closely aligned and that the distinction being raised between Gabbard's March testimony and Trump's remarks that Iran is "very close" to getting a nuclear weapon is one without a difference.TRUMP BLOWS OFF GABBARD DOWNPLAYING IRAN NUKE THREAT, BUT WH STILL SAYS PRESIDENT AND INTEL CHIEF ARE IN SYNCThe official noted that Gabbard had underscored in her March testimony that Iran had the resources to potentially build a nuclear weapon. Her March testimony reflected intelligence she had received that Iran was not building a weapon at the time but that the country could do so based on the resources it amassed for such an endeavor.Gabbard took to social media and blasted the media for "intentionally" taking her March testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee "out of context.""The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division," Gabbard said in a Friday post on X, accompanied by a video clip of her March testimony to Congress."America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly," she wrote. "President Trump has been clear that cant happen, and I agree."TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESTrump announced in a Saturday evening Truth Social post that the U.S. military had carried out strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran, obliterating them. Trump held an address to the nation later Saturday night, describing the strikes as wildly successful and backing Iran into a corner to make a peace deal."A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan," Trump said from the White House on Saturday evening. "Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number-one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.""For 40 years, Iran has been saying, Death to America. Death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs," Trump continued. "That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate in particular."Fox News Digital reached out to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for any additional comment on the Sunday strikes, but did not immediately receive a reply.Fox News Digital's Alec Schemmel contributed to this report.

Border czar Tom Homan voiced concern over the presence of Iranian nationalists and other unaccounted illegal immigrants after the United States launched an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on Saturday night. Homan revealed what he feels is the 'biggest national security' vulnerability the U.S. currently has amid the conflict in the Middle East during an appearance on "Sunday Morning Futures" with anchor Maria Bartiromo.TOM HOMAN: I've said in the last four years, my biggest concern was this open border. It was the biggest national security vulnerability this country has ever seen. So, I pulled numbers this morning, just from a CBP under Joe Biden there were 1,272 nationalists from Iran released in the country between OFO and the border patrol. You compare that the Trump administration is zero, right? Zero releases. And right now, because of President Trump's leadership, we have the most secure border in my lifetime, the most secure border in the history of this nation. So we have a secure border, so that was President Trump's big win in securing this nation. We're not releasing people in this country, especially when there are aliens that aren't crossing the border undetected. But under Joe Biden, we had over 10 million people cross that border. But my biggest concern from day one, beyond the fentanyl, beyond the sex trafficking women and children, were the two million known gotaways over two million people crossed that border. We don't know who they are, where they came from, because they got away because border patrol is so overwhelmed with the humanitarian crisis that Biden created. Over two million people crossed the border and got away. That is my biggest concern. And that's what created the biggest national security vulnerability this country's ever seen.HEGSETH, PENTAGON BRASS PRAISE TRUMP'S 'SPECTACULAR' MILITARY SUCCESS IN IRAN NUCLEAR STRIKESThe U.S. Department of State raised warning levels for U.S. citizens traveling to countries across the Middle East on Sunday.The changes come after President Donald Trump ordered strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday.

I won't say the particular moment... there was certainly a moment in time where he realized that it had to be a certain action taken in order to minimize the threat to us in our troops," he added.

The rise of OnlyFans doesnt faze Larry Flynts widow.As chairwoman of Hustler magazine, Liz Flynt is keeping the legacy of her late husband alive by overseeing his adult entertainment empire. Her new book, "HUSTLER50: 50 Years of Freedom," aims to capture the salacious brands journey "through five decades of political and social upheaval." Flynt died in 2021 at age 78.Liz told Fox News Digital she wasnt opposed to the possibility of launching a similar subscription-based service. She previously told the Los Angeles Times that Hustler doesnt offer entertainment created by users, because verifying the age of performers is difficult. She also says that Hustler insists on providing "high-quality content."FORMER PLAYBOY MODEL HOLLY MADISON BLASTS HOLLYWOOD AS DARK PLACE TEEMING WITH LEECHES"It would be nice to come up with something like [OnlyFans]," said Liz. "But right now, I dont have anything in the pipeline. But were always brainstorming at our monthly meetings and our weekly management meetings. Were always brainstorming on whats new, young and fresh and what else we can do to grow as a company."Many sex workers joined OnlyFans during the pandemic when in-person venues shut down or became more dangerous because of COVID-19. The site has been tremendously lucrative for some people, allowing them to earn thousands per month. In 2021, OnlyFans said it had 130 million users and two million creators who have collectively earned $5 billion.Liz is aware of the competition."We are still a monthly publication, but were always finding new ideas to keep the company relevant, like getting into different areas of technology," Liz explained. "In the early 90s, my husband went into video, he went into broadcast, he went into retail stories, he went into gaming. And so, he was able to diversify the company early on. We [now] have 60 Hustler Hollywood retail stores.""Under my leadership, I was able to open 20 more and acquire 40 retail stores from Playboy Enterprises," she shared."I was able to launch Hustler Casino Live, which is livestream online poker. . . . The newest launch that I was able to [do] was [partner with] DoorDash with all of our Hustler Hollywood stores. Were the first to do that. Of course, Hustler has been known to be the first to do many different things. Thats what makes us so different and keeps us relevant."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERFlynt, a former strip club owner, built Hustler magazine into an adult entertainment juggernaut that included casinos, films, websites and other businesses as he relentlessly championed First Amendment rights.Flynts far-flung company produced not only Hustler but other niche publications. He also owned a video production company, scores of websites, two Los Angeles-area casinos and dozens of Hustler boutiques selling adult-oriented products. He also licensed the Hustler name to independently owned strip clubs.At the time of his death, Flynt claimed to have video-on-demand operations in more than 55 countries and more than 30 Hustler Hollywood retail stores throughout the United States.Flynt often disgusted the masses for offering one of the most graphic, and at times controversial, publications on newsstands. Unlike Playboy or Penthouse, it published more overtly sexual imagery. Flynt didnt hesitate to push boundaries with raw imagery and biting cartoons. He once declared that "pornography is really the purest form of art."Liz said she believes in her late husbands vision."Our bodies are the purest form of art," she said. "Women have been photographed over the decades. I see nothing wrong with it. I feel that publishers before [my husband], like Hugh Hefner and Bob Guccione, did pave the way for Larry. And I think theres nothing wrong with photographing beautiful women all types of women."WATCH: BACHELOR STAR ON WHY SHE'LL STRIP DOWN FOR PLAYBOY OVER ONLYFANS"If you look at some of these women in the Victorian age and some of those beautiful portraits, theres nudity there," she argued. "And theres nothing wrong with it."Flynt offered large sums of money to famous women to pose naked. Although they turned him down, he did manage to publish a photographers nude sunbathing photos of former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He was intensely disliked by both religious and feminist groups, who said he demeaned women and put them at risk with pictures of bondage and other controversial acts.Flynt maintained throughout his life that he was not just a pornographer but also a fierce defender of free-speech rights.But there was a time when even Flynt wondered if he went too far. The magazine famously shocked readers in June 1978 when it published a cover depicting a woman being fed into a meat grinder."Hustler has always stayed true to its original spirit, meaning we were provocative, explicit and unafraid to challenge authority and offend people," said Liz. "But one particular cover that Im sure people remember was the meat grinder and having a woman depicted as a piece of meat. But Larry had told me when the cover came out, he was in jail. Therefore, he took the hit. He was the publisher, so he owned it.""He said, Ill take the hit," Liz shared. "What was he going to do, blame it on somebody else? No, Larry was the owner, the publisher, and you have to stick with what you publish. Unfortunately, he received countless words of criticism. Gloria Steinem attacked him and took a full page out in The New York Times. But he defended the image as satire. . . . And he was always pushing the envelope."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLiz said she first met Flynt in 1991 when she went to work for him as a nurse. He had been paralyzed after he was nearly killed in a 1986 assassination attempt. His nephew, Jimmy Flynt Jr., said at the time of his death that his famous uncle suffered decades of health issues."I remember he was a very quiet guy when I first met him," said Liz. "I didnt see any Hustler magazines in his home. I found him to be very knowledgeable with impeccable vocabulary. It wasnt until two years later that he asked me out. I declined. Then he asked me out again. I said, Well, if youd like to go out with me, come to my home for dinner and meet my family. And he did."The couple tied the knot in 1998. And being married to one of the worlds most famous pornographers was surprisingly ordinary."Larry was a fun-loving husband," said Liz. "He was very kind and generous. He loved to travel. I always felt that I was well cared for and loved by him. He was just a very loving husband. And he loved animals, too. We always had dogs. We had two German shepherds in the beginning, and then we always had schnauzers, from giant schnauzers to miniatures."As a doting husband, Flynt wasnt shy about giving marital advice. And thats exactly what he did with Woody Harrelsons wife Laura. The actor portrayed Flynt in the 1996 film "The People vs. Larry Flynt.""At one point, Laura and I were having tremendous trouble in our relationship, and, unbeknownst to me, Larry took her to lunch and acted as a marriage counselor," Harrelson, 63, wrote in the books foreword. "And whatever he said that day really helped. To this day, Laura will cry when she recalls that conversation and Larrys unsolicited, unyielding support. He was always the truest of friends."Today, Liz is determined to make sure that her husbands advocacy for freedom of speech isnt forgotten."My husband didnt live long enough to write this book," she reflected. "I felt it was so important to capture the five decades of Hustler magazine. . . . As the chairwoman and beneficiary of the company, I feel that Im in a different pair of shoes. I promised him that I would continue to run the company and make sure it continues to grow. I am doing that right now."
