With President Donald Trumps extraordinary decision to attack three of the key/critical Iranian nuclear sites, two questions emerge: First, how will the Iranian populace react to the decision? Second, will this hurt or help the chances for regime change?Of course, we will not get answers to these questions immediately. But I think its fair to say that history, in the not-so-distant past, offers an instructive guide to what could well happen.While it is challenging at this point to answer these questions with a high degree of certainty, there is one historical analogy which I was deeply involved in that may provide insights.TRUMP HINTS AT REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN WHILE DECLARING 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN' AFTER US STRIKESMore than 24 years ago, while working in the Bill Clinton administration, I was one of the principal actors advising the State Department on the situation in Serbia. There, I led on-the-ground efforts to demonstrate to the Serbian opposition that President Slobodan Milosevic could be beaten.At the time, many in both the U.S. and Serbia thought that nearly 80-days of NATO bombings and the 1999 Kosovo war had produced a rally around the flag effect in favor of Milosevic.And yet, the polls I conducted conclusively demonstrated the opposite.The data revealed that, despite efforts by the regime to portray Milosevic as strong and popular, he was extremely weak, with a 70% unfavorable rating.As was acknowledged in the Washington Post at the time, the strategic guidance I provided based on those polls led to the development of a campaign that soon toppled a regime few thought was quite so vulnerable.HERES WHAT A POST-AYATOLLAH IRAN COULD LOOK LIKE IF WAR WITH ISRAEL LEADS TO REGIMES FALLThere are striking parallels between Milosevics downfall and the situation the Khamenei regime finds itself in today.In both, there are some who feel that foreign airstrikes would strengthen nationalist sentiment in favor of a regime that prioritizes projecting an aura of popularity despite being incredibly disliked by its citizens.Further, in Serbia, we found that there was pervasive anger towards the government, particularly over the poor state of the economy. In Iran, there is similar if not even more intense dissatisfaction with the regimes chronic mishandling of economic and national policy.To be sure, polling data from inside Iran is limited, although Stasis, a firm which specializes in conducting methodologically-sound surveys in the country, released a poll last October that is telling.They found that nearly 8-in-10 (78%) Iranians feel that the governments policies are to blame for the countrys economic struggles.Additionally, in a country of 90 million, where roughly 60% are under the age of 30, the same poll shows that more than three-quarters (77%) of Iranians believe that "Iranian youth do not see prosperity for their future in Iran."All of this is to say that like Milosevics regime, the Iranian government appears to have strong popular support, but underneath the surface, is extremely weak and vulnerable.MOMENTUM FOR REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN SURGES AMID ISRAEL'S CONFLICT WITH TEHRANFor many, the idea that Israel and especially Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could bring about regime change in Iran is hard to take seriously.But, a more detailed examination of the current situation, as well as Irans own recent history, supports the notion that Netanyahu could be more accurate than not.Consider the history: Since 2009, there have been 10 nationwide protest movements, with millions of Iranians taking to the streets against the government.And while there was a wide range of causes for those protests from blatant election fraud to the most recent demonstrations set off by the killing of Mahsa Amini they all underscore widespread opposition to the current regime.In that same vein, much like I saw in Serbia, the large number of protests and their various causes reveal a significantly large opposition that, under the right conditions, can effectively mobilize and pressure the regime.To that end, whereas we had to actively organize those movements in Serbia, those conditions are already evident in Iran, and on a much greater scale.NETANYAHU CALLS ON IRANIAN CITIZENS TO SEIZE 'OPPORTUNITY' FOR REGIME CHANGEAside from the bleak future facing Irans youth, the regimes oppressive laws towards its nearly 44 million female citizens have turned virtually one-half of the population into second-class citizens with little to lose from rising up, as hundreds of thousands did during the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests.Underscoring just how deep the hatred is towards the regime, Iran International has reported receiving letters expressing personal thanks to Netanyahu, and the Jerusalem Post reported than an Iranian source told them, "This war has greatly strengthened and revived new optimism" among Iranians for regime change.The Posts source inside Iran continued, saying that "conversations around the capital city (Tehran) are focused on the final days of the regime and that they brought it on themselves."Outside of Iran, the debate has already begun.On one side are leaders such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as journalists like former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Yorktown Institute President Seth Cropsey.PENTAGON FLEXES US MILITARY'S DECOYS AND STRATEGIC DECEPTION THAT TOOK IRAN AND WORLD BY SURPRISEThose men have argued Bolton and Cropsey in the Wall Street Journal, and Netanyahu speaking to Fox News Bret Baier and in other forums that this is the most opportune moment for regime change in Iran since the revolution in 1979.Given the deep reservoir of anti-regime sentiment among the Iranian people, the argument goes, the best course of action is that Israels destruction of the regimes military and symbols of power will give Iranians the courage to rise up, united, against the government.On the other side of the debate are those such as French President Emmanuel Macron. Haunted by failed regime change efforts in Iraq and Libya, Macron cast doubt on the possibility for success in pursuing regime change, saying it would "result in chaos."Some have also argued that Israels actions could create a "rally around the flag" effect and spark nationalism among the Iranian people.To be clear, while both sides have legitimate arguments, based off my experience in Serbia, I believe that Netanyahu and those on his side have a much stronger case.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe Iranian government is weaker than ever before after Israel destroyed virtually its entire chain of command and remains in total control of Iranian skies.Likewise, unlike Libya and Iraq, Iran has a well-organized opposition, with a much more established sense of national unity than either Iraq or Libya ever had.Taken together, there is strong evidence underpinning Israels belief that the Iranian regime could fall, especially given Israels extreme caution in only targeting symbols of the regime in order to avoid stoking nationalism.Of course, there are risks in encouraging regime change, and its not at all guaranteed that the next regime is the one the West wants. It could very well result in a more extreme government led by remnants of the Revolutionary Guard hard-liners.However, it is a mistake of similar magnitude to dismiss this chance out of hand. History has shown that when an oppressed people, angry at their government, find their confidence and are supported even only by air power the outcome need not be chaos, or the survival of the current government.It has, and could again, result in genuine regime change.In both cases of Iran and Serbia there was widespread bombing of the country and indeed the civilians, with collateral damage on the civilian population. In the Serbian case all of the net results was that it strengthened the resolve of the Serbian people to rid themselves of an authoritarian dictator Milosevic. And in the Iranian case, if history is any guide, it will weaken an already fragile regime and hopefully provide an outlet for the millions of Iranians who want a greater measure of freedom and peace in their lives.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM DOUG SCHOEN

The Middle East was teetering on the verge of nuclear catastrophe courtesy of Iran. Seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers brought the region back from the edge this weekend.President Donald Trumps powerful strike in Operation Midnight Hammer on Saturday was a street-smart move that pulled the knife out of Irans hand. "We retained the element of surprise," Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said at a Pentagon briefing on Sunday. Yes, thats the understatement of the year.Caine, an F-16 fighter pilot who flew combat in Iraq, was the right choice to be Trumps top military adviser as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.For now, it's mission accomplished. Irans most advanced nuclear facilities are entombed in rubble.The first U.S. strike to prevent an emergent nuclear power has succeeded. And if the special smart fuses on the Massive Ordnance Penetrators did their job, a lot of expensive, complex machinery underground has been smashed to bits.MISDIRECTION AND 'DECEPTION' LIKELY KEY IN TRUMP ADMINS SURPRISE IRAN STRIKEReviewing 40 years of Irans mayhem and attacks on U.S. servicemembers, its clear to see why Iran could not ever be allowed to complete a nuclear weapon. Iran does not believe in deterrence as we know it. The Iranian possession of a nuclear bomb would have forced Israel to prepare options to use its own nuclear weapons.Midnight Hammer came just in time.Absolutely the B-2s can strike again if need be.As President Trump said, there are plenty of targets. The B-2s will be back at Whiteman AFB having their stealth buffed up, while the crews debrief.Heres the bad news.The U.S. may not have enough planes to carry out that kind of mission with China. With only 21 B-2s ever built and 19 still flying, the U.S. margin is thin.US STRIKES 3 IRANIAN NUCLEAR SITES, TRUMP ANNOUNCESThe B-2 strikes came after hundreds of strikes on Irans air defenses and command and control military targets by the Israeli air force in October 2024, and over the past ten days.It still took 125 aircraft for Operation Midnight Hammer. Thats including F-22 and F-35 fighter sweeps, Navy carrier F/A-18EF strike fighters and F/A-18G electronic warfare planes, and more, with KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling tankers providing post-strike gas for everybody.Operation Midnight Hammer proved the need for 6th Generation aircraft the next wave of stealth, designed to work with drones. Trump greenlighted the Air Force F-47 in March. Now he needs to do more, and fast.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONFirst, and its obvious, speed up the new B-21 Raider stealth bomber, the replacement for the B-2.The B-21 first flew almost three years ago and is in low-rate production. How about setting up a second manufacturing site and cranking out some new stealth bombers ASAP.Next, the Navy has a secret, 6th Generation stealth plane for the aircraft carrier ready to go. But a food fight in the Pentagon over budget analysis is holding up the production decision, even though the Navy has worked on this plane for over 10 years and needs it to replace aging Superhornets when the line shuts down. Admiral after admiral has told Congress the Navy is ready to buy this plane now. Believe me, they will need it to deter China. (And yes, aircraft carriers most definitely can ride out Chinese missile attacks and keep fighting. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find, let alone hit, a moving target at sea that is spitting out electronic deception?)Third, better restock the missile defenses carried by U.S. Navy destroyers, including the whole Standard Missile family.Fourth, the U.S. Space Force operates the satellites that provide precision attack and picks up all the missile launches from Iran. Fund whatever they need for on-orbit resilience so the Chinese and Russians cant mess with space.Why would U.S. forces ever want to strike China? They dont, I can assure you, but the Chinese may have other plans.Part of the mission of the B-2 is to hold critical targets at risk. In China, that may include ground-based laser weapons designed to zap satellites; their growing nuclear arsenal; or mobile missiles pounding U.S. bases, or Chinas aggressive air force and navy. You get the picture.Deterrence is on the line.The B-2 over Iran just proved again that the phrase "hold critical target sets at risk" is an essential and unique U.S. military mission. Against any adversary.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM REBECCA GRANT

Some prominent critics of President Donald Trump praised the president's call to strike Iran's nuclear sites over the weekend, such as former National Security Adviser John Bolton, who told CNN on Sunday that it was "better late than never.""Well, let me say this unequivocally: I think President Trump made the right decision for America to attack Irans nuclear weapons program. And I think were on the verge of potentially seeing regime change in Iran as part of that. I think this is a huge change in the Middle East. It was a decisive action. It was the right thing to do. I thought somebody should do it for a long time. But better late than never," Bolton told CNN's Kasie Hunt on Sunday during "State of the Union."Trump revealed on Saturday that the U.S. had launched a successful strike against Iran's nuclear facilities. The president has called for peace in the region and has said Iran's nuclear sites were "totally obliterated.""Well, he said up to two weeks," Bolton told Hunt, who asked him if the two-week timeline initially given by the White House was a ruse. "And I thought that was a pretty, pretty clear giveaway. As I say, I would have done this a long time ago. Well see what happens now. This is only day one, and I think how how Iran responds to this, if theyre foolish enough to attack American positions, American personnel in the Middle East or anywhere around the world. What happened overnight would just seem like the beginning.TRUMP DECLARES VERY SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM AS US FORCES STRIKE 3 KEY SITESFormer GOP lawmaker Adam Kinzinger said Trump made the right call in a post on social media, arguing it was a "good call by the president."Kinzinger notably spoke at the DNC and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, a fierce Trump critic, wrote he made a "courageous and correct decision that deserves respect, no matter how one feels about this president, while fellow Times columnist David French also said it was the "right decision" on social media."This is a perilous moment, but acting decisively to stop Irans march to a bomb is the right decision. Iran is weakened. Now is the time," he wrote.FAR LEFT, ANTI-ISRAEL VOICES DECRY TRUMP IRAN STRIKE, DISMISS IDEA HE'S 'ANTIWAR PRESIDENT'In a follow-up post, French added, "there should be a congressional vote under the War Powers Resolution. This is a grave moment, and Congress has the authority to declare war and to authorize long-term military action. Congress needs to exercise its authority."Democratic and a few GOP lawmakers have criticized Trump's decision to bomb Iran's nuclear sites, as Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., called the move unconstitutional."Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress. We need to immediately return to DC and vote on @RepThomasMassie and my War Powers Resolution to prevent America from being dragged into another endless Middle East war," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., posted on social media. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a frequent critic of the president, told ABC's Jon Karl during "This Week" on Sunday that he wasn't surprised by Trump's decision.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"I think the president deserves an enormous amount of credit. This is against-type for him. Im sure it was a difficult decision. But what I think his analysis was he cannot live with a nuclear weapon Iran. And Israel did all the heavy lifting, they wiped out many of their air defenses, really severely damaged them in what theyve been doing over the last week and a half or two, and the president saw an opportunity that he might never have again," Christie said."And I think we see the way we dealt with North Korea, that we missed opportunities to take them out before they became a nuclear power. I think Donald Trump looked at this and the president said, Im not going to let the same thing happen in Iran, in what is an even bigger powder keg in the world," he continued.The Atlantic's Eliot Cohen wrote on Sunday that Trump "got this one right.""The president has made many poor decisions, but in striking Iran, he acted where his predecessors had failed," he wrote.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMultiple retired generals have said Trump's move was the right one in interviews on CNN and MSNBC."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," Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace 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."

Right on cue, liberal Sen. Bernie Sanders declared that President Trumps successful military strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites were "grossly unconstitutional."Along with other Democrats, he argued that only Congress can grant such approval. What Sanders and his colleagues fail to recognize or remember is that Congress already granted consent for exactly the type of action deployed by Trump.'NOT CONSTITUTIONAL': CONGRESS INVOKES NEW WAR POWERS RESOLUTION TO REJECT TRUMP'S STRIKES ON IRANImmediately after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Congress passed a joint resolution known as the "Authorization for Use of Military Force" (AUMF). It granted the President exclusive and extraordinary powers to target those groups and nations that he determines "aided the terrorist attacksor harbored" the perpetrators of 9/11.The stated goal was to "prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States."One only needs to read the report of the 9/11 Commission to be reminded of Irans complicity.For years, the government in Tehran actively aided and abetted attacks on America by offering Al Qaeda terrorists extensive training, intelligence, transit, logistics, weaponry and funding.Some of the terrorists that Iran supported were the very same "future 9/11 hijackers," the report explained.When the U.S. invaded Afghanistan, several Al Qaeda leaders fled to neighboring Iran where they were given safe haven.This included Usama bin Laden, who was harbored by the mullahs while he plotted even more attacks against Americans. On this basis alone, Trumps tactical military strikes against Irans nuclear enrichment facilities were legally authorized and constitutionally justified. No advanced consultation or approval by Congress is required. The AUMF carries no expiration date.It has never been repealed, refined or amended.It remains in full force as a delegated power to the President. Few Democrats complained when President Obama broadly utilized the AUMF on numerous occasions for military operations against Libya, Syria, Al Qaeda, the Taliban, and even ISIS.His robust use of the resolution further cemented its legality.All three branches of government, including the judiciary, affirmed its legitimacy and scope.President Biden invoked the AUMF to justify airstrikes in Iraq against jihadist militias.He defended it as an act of self-defense to protect American lives.He told Congress that his military action was consistent with international law. Most Democrats were mute on the subject.Now, only because it is Trump who has taken aggressive steps against the worlds largest sponsor of terrorism, his politically driven critics are howling.Their hypocrisy should be lost on no one. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., stated with confidence that Trumps "disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers."Predictably, she pronounced that it is "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."Presumably, Ocasio-Cortez was referring to the 1973 War Powers Resolution.It is a notification requirement, not a prohibition on a Presidents right to exert military action.Indeed, Trump complied by notifying Congress.It is hardly an impeachable offense.A more reasoned analysis was offered by Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who wrote on X, "As Ive long maintained, this was the correct move by @POTUS.Iran is the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities. Im grateful for and salute the finest military in the world." The hysteria of the "no forever wars" crowd will inevitably lurch into a vigorous constitutional debate.However, historical precedence and the consistent use of the AUMF by Trumps predecessors uphold his decision to neutralize an enemy state that has long vowed the destruction of both Israel and the United States. Under Article II of the Constitution, the president as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, is empowered to direct military operations to deter foreign threats to our national security. This has been well established over the course of our republic. A nuclear-armed Iran controlled by a maniacal regime poses the ultimate peril. Trump had an affirmative duty to act preemptively.David Albright, one of the worlds foremost experts on Irans nuclear program, told The Wall Street Journalthat Tehran was dangerously close to atomic breakout.Before Saturday nights strike, he said that Iran "could make enough weapon-grade uranium for 11 nuclear weapons within a month."It is a foregone conclusion that such bombs would be used against Israel, the United States, or both.Trumps decision to destroy nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan was not an easy one. But it was bold and absolutely necessary. Simply waiting under exigent circumstances would have been irresponsible, if not reckless.Iran has a long and proven record of lying, cheating, and covering up its development of weapons of mass destruction.Their fanatical leaders cannot be trusted when so much is at stake. The president should be commended, not condemned, for neutralizing a growing menace.But political enmity in the Age of Trump militates that the party out of power react with impetuous opposition, regardless of the known facts, the law, and the Constitution. We may never know how many millions of lives have been spared.There will be reprisals, to be sure. But they pale in comparison to the existential risks that were bearing down on America and our closest ally in the Middle East.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe usual reactionaries will take to the streets to castigate Trump as a "war criminal" deserving of prosecution.Let them.Their formulaic fury is exceeded only by their ignorance. Trumps ordered strike was narrow and limited and purposeful.Claims by some that the U.S. will become mired in another foreign quagmire with boots on the ground is overwrought.No such action is merited or even contemplated.Feverish predictions of "World War III" are little more than unhinged rhetoric. Trump gave Iran every opportunity to peacefully forsake its nuclear ambitions. If Democrats want to impeach him despite the clear language of the AUMF, his inherent constitutional authority, and the sustenance of history, they can certainly try.But I tend to doubt that Americans will look favorably on yet another dubious impeachment.Doing what is right is not always the easiest thing to do.But doing nothing can be far worse.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to be preparing for "the inevitable transition" to being king and queen someday.People magazine recently reported that as their future roles draw closer with time, the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as their inner circle, are quietly focused on "building a trusted team of advisors" to guide them.According to the outlet, palace aides have described King Charles cancer diagnosis as "managed" as he continues to keep busy fulfilling royal duties while in treatment.KATE MIDDLETON REWRITES ROYAL PLAYBOOK, PUTS HERSELF FIRST IN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE: EXPERTSFox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace for comment. Royal experts emphasized to Fox News Digital there's no reason to believe the king will abdicate anytime soon due to any health concerns."Prince William and Princess Catherine are indeed discreetly assembling a top-notch, extremely competent and reliable team to guide them through the coming transition," British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital."There is now more urgency than anticipated just a few years ago due to King Charles health concerns," Fordwich said. "They recognize it is imperative to be properly prepared for the throne with a trusted team assembled by their side. They are determined to mitigate any royal drama, and to remain focused on ensuring the continuity and relevance of the monarchy for the future."A pal told People that "there are some major shifts coming behind the scenes.""They are really finessing what works and what doesnt," the friend added.The outlet also noted that, in recent years, Kate has "embraced her duties with a new level of professionalism and purpose."Fordwich said the couples team is already providing strategic advice and helping them navigate the work that awaits them as they continue to raise their three young children.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"Those who know members of their current team, who are said to be predominately from diplomatic and governmental backgrounds, share that they are more approachable than those in previous royal households," said Fordwich.Kate stirred headlines on Wednesday when she unexpectedly pulled out of a scheduled return to Royal Ascot. The 43-year-old was said to be disappointed not to be there but is still trying to find the right balance as she returns to public engagements.In January, Kate announced she was in remission from cancer.Royal experts told Fox News Digital that the no-show is part of Kates plan to prioritize her health and complete public engagements on a case-by-case basis. Some pointed out that the scorching heatwave that day may have contributed to her decision."Shes being sensible, listening to what her body is telling her and easing back into public life," Queen Elizabeths former spokeswoman Alisa Anderson previously told People.WATCH: KATE MIDDLETON MAKES KEY DECISIONS FOR ROYALS AS FUTURE QUEEN: EXPERTBut the future continues to be at the forefront for the couple as they support the king."King Charles cancer diagnosis is being carefully managed by the palace," Fordwich explained."They will continue to issue limited updates to the public to maintain dignity regarding his condition. Behind the scenes, Princess Catherine has been involved in selecting advisors and shaping the teams direction, drawing on her own experiences, as well as the close relationship she has developed with the king via their shared cancer diagnoses."British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that Kate has become more influential than ever within the palace. She has been crowned as the most popular royal within the household."Princess Catherine is key to the future of the monarchy," said Chard. "She wields discreet influence and is set to become even more influential as she continues her life of royal service. She is loved and respected worldwide. Every bit the standout royal, the polished princess is paving the way and transitioning into her future role with grace, dignity and purpose.""The Waleses are shaping their future to not only global leadership but leadership for social good," Chard shared. "Their aim is to be connected and relevant to the public. Trust is the key word here. They require a diligent, empathetic and trustworthy team working by their side.""Their goal of creating and maintaining a good trusting relationship with the public is essential to a smooth-running monarchy," said Chard.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSAccording to People magazine, Kate currently has a support network that primarily consists of family and a close circle of trusted friends. Following in the late queen's footsteps by focusing on duty and "keeping an air of mystery" with the public, shes already won over many palace aides."She was already the only working royal life with any special pulling power," Charless biographer, Catherine Mayer, told People magazine. "She is the one who generates excitement. For her, less is actually more.""I dont think you ever recover fully from what Kate has had to endure this last year," a pal told the outlet. "She has always been a huge asset to the royal family, but even more so now."Following years of royal scandal, Chard said "top PR is essential" for the couple. In 2019, Prince Andrew stepped back as a senior royal following his controversial ties with Jeffrey Epstein. Then, in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made their royal exit, citing the unbearable intrusions of the British press and a lack of support from the palace.Following Harry and Meghans move to California, they aired their grievances in interviews, documentaries, as well as Harrys 2023 memoir "Spare." Harry told the BBC in May that he was ready to reconcile with his family but that his father, 76, wouldnt speak to him.Royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that William and Harry are not on speaking terms."The Princess of Wales, along with Prince William, will run an even tighter ship with their team," said Chard. "Everyone will feel appreciated and will do their best in supporting the couple. Team members' lips will be tightly sealed in relation to any royal drama. The... trust of the public will continue to grow.""Family is heavily at the heart of their work and factoring their children around their diaries is of the utmost importance," Chard shared. "Their discreet team will also have Wales' children at heart, helping Prince George pave his way as future king."Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner claimed to Fox News Digital that while the king is in good spirits, William and Kate are feeling the pressure that, one day, they will reign."The reality is, William and Kate may feel that they will be head of the monarchy soon," he said. "[But] Charles seems to be enjoying every minute as king [Meanwhile], William is totally ambitious and Kate dutifully follows along. They are matched in that way."Pelham Turner pointed out that one challenge the couple will need to continue navigating is how to make the British royal family fresh and relevant today. While only time will tell, the couple appear to be up for the challenge."The big smile on Charles face says a lot," he added.

Diabetes is the leading cause of vision loss in people between 18 and 64 years old, according to the American Diabetes Association and the best way to prevent this is to control blood sugar levels.Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s), such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, have become popular medications for controlling diabetes and treating obesity but new Canadian research suggests they can also lead to a paradoxical side effect in the form of eye problems.YOUNG POLICE OFFICER DIES BY SUICIDE AFTER 'DEBILITATING' LASER EYE SURGERY COMPLICATIONSA retrospective study conducted from January 2020 to November 2023 included more than 139,000 diabetic patients, some of whom were taking GLP-1s for at least six months and some who were not taking the medications over a three-year period.The average age of the participants was 66 years old, and approximately 47% were women.Researchers found that the participants taking the weight-loss medications had twice the risk of developing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) compared to the people not taking them."There have been growing reports of [eye] adverse events with GLP-1 receptor agonists, but no clear consensus regarding their impact on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression," study author Dr. Rajeev Muni, an ophthalmologist and vice-chair of clinical research in the Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences at the University of Toronto, told Fox News Digital.6 SIMPLE WAYS TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS"In particular, we observed a dose-response relationship the longer patients were exposed to these medications, the greater their risk appeared to be," added authorReut Shor, a researcher in the department of ophthalmology and vision sciences at the University of Toronto.The findings were published in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of vision loss in those aged 50 and older in the developing world, according to the American Society of Retinal Specialists.Approximately 20 million adults in the U.S. have the condition.It mainly affects peoples central vision, which means they have a challenging time seeing in front of them, but their peripheral vision is intact, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).There are two types of AMD dry and wet.Dry AMD, the most common type, occurs when small yellow deposits of protein develop under the macula, but symptoms may not occur in the early stages, experts said.In about two out of every 10 cases, dry AMD develops into wet AMD also known as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).With this more advanced type of disease, abnormal blood vessels form under the retina and start to leak, causing damage to the central part of the retina, known as the macula, according to WebMD."When this occurs, symptoms include loss of central vision, distortions in vision and blank areas missing in the central vision," Nishika Reddy, M.D., assistant professor of ophthalmology at Moran Eye Centers Midvalley Health Center at the University of Utah, told Fox News Digital. (She was not part of the study.)Risk factors for nAMD include chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease and diabetes all of which often overlap with those who take GLP-1s, experts confirmed.The study authors cautioned that their findings should be taken in the context of the overall higher risk of eye disease in older people.The incidence of nAMD in the general population is about one in 1,000, and it doubled to two in 1,000 for the group taking the GLP-1s in the study.However, the overall absolute risk is still small, according to the researchers.The studys main limitation is that it was observational in nature, meaning the researchers could not confirm that GLP-1s medications cause neovascular age-related macular degeneration.The study also could not draw conclusions about younger populations, the researchers acknowledged."Also, our findings apply only to diabetic patients aged 66 years or older, and cannot be directly generalized to non-diabetic individuals using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss," Shor told Fox News Digital.GLP-1 receptors are present in the retina regardless of age or diabetes status so theoretically, the risk could apply to younger populations.More research is needed to better understand why diabetic people on GLP-1s have increased eye disease, Shor said.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"While the risk of developing macular degeneration while on a GLP-1 drug is low, patients should be aware of the possible eye side effects related to these types of medications," Reddy said.If someone notices blurred or distorted vision, straight lines appearing wavy, or any new blind spots, they should seek medical attention,according to Muni.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthEarly detection of eye disease is crucial, experts agree, as timely treatment can reduce the risk of vision loss.The study authors said they hope their findings will empower patients to monitor for early symptoms.

It took some time to figure out, but the Jacksonville Jaguars and their No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Travis Hunter, have agreed on his rookie deal.The announcement was quite unique, and the payout was historic.The Jaguars announced Hunters deal twice, one with a post that he was a defensive back that signed, while the other noted him as a wide receiver.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe reigning Heisman Trophy winners ability to play both sides of the ball is how the Jaguars want to deploy him, and these two announcements once again confirm the organizations intentions to use him in that fashion.Hunters deal is worth $46.65 million and is fully guaranteed over the next four years with Jacksonville, who also have a fifth-year option if they so choose.TRAVIS HUNTER ON STRANGER'S PRAISE AFTER FLIGHT INTERACTION: 'I TOOK CARE OF HER LIKE I DO MY GRANDPARENTS'Hunter will also be receiving his $30.57 million signing bonus entirely up front, making him the first non-quarterback who was not drafted first overall to negotiate payment of his whole signing bonus at the front end of his deal, per ESPN.While there was not a situation like the one going on between the Cincinnati Bengals and their first-round pick, Shemar Stewart, some doubters believed Hunter not signing with the Jaguars yet could lead to a rift down the road ahead of training camp.However, the deal got done, and Hunter will be prepared for the July 19 start, when rookies have to report to the team facility to begin their first journey toward the NFL regular season.Once again, the Jaguars front office, led by new GM James Gladstone, shows their confidence in Hunter with this historic deal. After all, Gladstone jumped up to second overall back in April to make sure he landed a potentially franchise-altering player.Jacksonville, despite the talent on its roster, has missed the playoffs the last two seasons, leading to an organizational overhaul that included getting rid of head coach Doug Pederson. Liam Coen, who led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers explosive offense last season, is now in charge of getting Trevor Lawrence and company back on track with a playoff berth like they accomplished in 2022 in mind.Lawrence is expected to have Hunter on his line of scrimmage throughout the 2025-26 NFL campaign, but it is unknown how the Jaguars wish to deploy him on offense and defense this year. He should be getting some good reps at receiver, though, as the Jaguars could have a dynamic duo brewing with budding star Brian Thomas Jr., who cemented himself as the clear number one receiver in his rookie season in 2024.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
