Arizona Diamondbacks star second baseman Ketel Marte was in tears during a pitching change in the seventh inning of the teams 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field on Tuesday.Marte, 31, was left in tears after a fan yelled derogatory comments about his late mother.

"I just reacted as a dad would when I went out to change pitchers," Lovullo said, per the Arizona Republic. "I could see he was sobbing. It hurt."Lovullo added that he told Marte that he was not alone and that the heckler was "an idiot."PIRATES' ONEIL CRUZ GETS TAKEN OUT OF GAME FOR BASERUNNING BLUNDER, ADMITS HE LOST TRACK OF OUTSLovullo said he loves all of his players and that he is going to protect them."Ive known Ketel for nine years, and hes had some unbelievably great moments and some hardships as well and some really rough moments in his life and I know those.

The Carolina Panthers were hoping Bryce Young would take that next step in his sophomore season, but it did not start the way he had hoped in 2024.Much like his rookie campaign in 2023, Young was struggling to get anything going on offense, and the Panthers looked like they were headed for yet another failed year.Head coach Dave Canales made the call to bench Young after just two weeks in favor of the veteran Andy Dalton, but Young had two choices: either let this become reality or continue to work.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMHe chose the latter, and it paid off despite the Panthers finishing just 5-12 last season. Youngs second-half surge has one Panthers legend excited for this season with him under center once again."It was just great for the entire organization for Bryce to take that leap after some early adversity," Greg Olsen told Fox News Digital while at the fifth year of Tight End University, which he co-founded alongside Travis Kelce and George Kittle. "For him to respond, it says a lot about him."As Olsen reminds every football fan, "if you don't have the quarterback position right, everything else is really challenging."49ERS' GEORGE KITTLE CATCHES PASSES AT TIGHT END UNIVERSITY AFTER HISTORIC CONTRACT EXTENSIONThe Panthers chose Young number one overall out of Alabama after his Heisman-winning season, but it has not at all been the start he hoped for in the NFL. Still, the young signal caller never got discouraged, continued to work, publicly leaned on his faith, and the results showed in 2024.Young was eventually given his starting role back in Week 8, and he would not have it relinquished again for the remainder of the year.During those starts, while the Panthers went 3-6, Young threw for 1,853 yards with 12 touchdowns to six interceptions and a 60.4% completion rate. If his averages were extrapolated over a 17-game season, he would have thrown for 3,500 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.Over his final three games, two of which resulted in wins, Young threw for a total of 612 yards (204.0 per game average) with seven touchdowns to no interceptions."I think Bryce really showed his true colors last year and that was really impressive," Olsen continued."I think for the Panthers going into this year, hopefully that continues to improve and they continue to build the roster around him."The Panthers did build around him, drafting Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan in the first round to add a hopeful top receiver of the future to go along with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette.Carolina is also taking a flyer that Hunter Renfrow can return to his pesky self on the field, as someone who showcased crisp route-running ability and sure hands that made him a trusty target for the Las Vegas Raiders.Year 3 in the NFL, especially for first-round picks, is expected to be that leap year, where the player finds his rhythm and plays more consistently.Olsen is hopeful Young can do that in 2025, but he will have to prove he is picking up right where he left off come September.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The headlines may proclaim a ceasefire, but let us be clear: the Israeli-Iranian war is far from over. What we are witnessing is not peaceit is a tactical intermission. The guns may be momentarily silent, but the war remains alive in motive, method, and mindset.Don't be fooled. Israel-Iran ceasefire represents tactical intermission, not lasting peacePresident DonaldTrumps June 23 announcement of a "complete and total ceasefire" between Israel and Iran brought a welcome pause to twelve days of deadly escalation. Yet his own remarks in the hours that followed, including en route to the NATO summit, betrayed the precarious nature of that agreementand the volatility of the players involved.ISRAEL BACKS AWAY FROM HEAVIER STRIKES ON IRAN, MAINTAINING CEASEFIRE AFTER TRUMP PRESSUREJust before boarding Air Force One, Trump issued a pointed public rebuke: "Calm down, Israel!" He warned Prime Minister Benajamin Netanyahu that any strike against Iran after the ceasefire's effective hour would constitute a violation. His words reflected not only diplomatic urgency but the fragility of the arrangement he had just announced.And yet, within hours, both Iran and Israel reportedly launched limited retaliatory actions. Trump, visibly frustrated, criticized both sides for breaking faith: "They dont know what thef*** theyre doing." He added: "I gotta get Israel to calm down now," underscoring the degree to which U.S. pressurenot mutual trustwas the linchpin of the ceasefires early survival.Therein lies the truth: the war has not ended. It has simply shifted forms.There is no treaty, no verification regime, and no mutual recognition of legitimacy between the two states. Iran continues to deny Israels right to exist, and Israel views Irans nuclear programand its regional proxy networkas existential threats. A formal cessation of hostilities requires more than silence; it requires resolution. We are nowhere near that.CEASEFIRE: CAN A PAUSE IN FIGHTING LEAD TO LASTING PEACE WHERE CONFLICTS HAVE BECOME THE NORM?To understand why this war is not over, consider the strategic objectives of each side. Israels campaign was aimed at degrading Irans nuclear infrastructureparticularly the underground enrichment site at Fordow. While successful in the short term, it did not eliminate Irans scientific knowledge or ideological commitment to nuclear capability. Tehran still possesses the technical talent, the raw materials, andmost dangerouslythe motivation to rebuild and accelerate its weapons program.Irans retaliatory missile strikes on Israel and U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraqthough largely interceptedserved as symbolic warnings. More importantly, Tehran signaled that it retains the capacity to strike deep into the region. That message wasnt just for Tel Avivit was for Washington, Riyadh, and the world.TIMELINE: TRUMP'S ISRAEL-IRAN CEASEFIRE NEARLY COLLAPSES HOURS AFTER ANNOUNCEMENTBehind the scenes, the shadow war continues. Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps still arms Hezbollah in Lebanon, trains militias in Iraq and Syria, and directs proxy warfare through the Houthis in Yemen. Israeli airstrikes on Damascus and other locations in Syria persist, albeit in a lower-key fashion. Cyber operations, drone surveillance, and intelligence targeting remain on full alert. These are not post-war conditions. These are indicators of an unresolved and evolving conflict.Even the diplomacy surrounding the ceasefire reflects its fragility. The agreement was brokered through indirect channels, with no official joint communiqu, no UN endorsement, and no follow-on roadmap. Iran has not re-engaged with the International Atomic Energy Agency. Israel, understandably, maintains its right to strike again if necessary. The rhetoric has cooled, but the posture remains hardened.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnd then there is the political reality. Leaders in both countries face domestic constituencies who are skeptical of compromise. Hardliners in Tehran see the ceasefire as a pause to reload, not a step toward reconciliation. In Jerusalem, the Israeli public broadly supports preemptive action against a nuclear-armed adversary. Neither side has the political incentivenor the strategic trustto walk away from confrontation.So, is the war over? Only if we define "war" in the narrowest kinetic terms. But if we understand war as a clash of wills, ideologies, and strategic aimsthen this war continues, just under a different banner.The international community must not confuse this quiet with peace. Rather, it must prepare for what comes next: a sustained period of covert confrontation, regional volatility, and the ever-present risk of open warfare returning with little warning. Diplomats must act urgently, not naively. Military leaders must remain on alert. And political leadersespecially in Washingtonmust resist the temptation to declare victory before the conflict is truly resolved.Trumps visible exasperation and his blunt warnings serve as a reminder: this ceasefire is no more secure than the tempers and tactics of the adversaries it binds. The Israeli-Iranian war is not over. It has simply entered its next, and perhaps most perilous, phase.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM ROBERT MAGINNIS

The Trump White House is waiving executive privilege for key former Biden administration aides who have been summoned by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is probing the alleged cover-up of former President Joe Biden's mental decline.Letters obtained by Fox News Digital via a source familiar with the matter show the Trump administration will not allow the people of interest in Comer's probe to use their past White House work as a legal shield.Deputy Counsel to the President Gary Lawkowski sent the letters to former Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain, former senior advisors Anita Dunn, Steve Ricchetti, Mike Donilon, Annie Tomasini, Bruce Reed and Ashley Williams, and Anthony Bernal, former advisor to former first lady Jill Biden.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' CRACKS DOWN ON BIDEN'S STUDENT LOAN 'SCHEME,' TOP REPUBLICAN SAYS"In light of the unique and extraordinary nature of the matters under investigation, President Trump has determined that an assertion of executive privilege is not in the national interest, and therefore is not justified, with respect to particular subjects within the purview of the House Oversight Committee," the letters said."Those subjects include your assessment of former President Biden's fitness for the office of the President and your knowledge of who exercised executive powers during his administration."Both congressional Republicans and the White House are investigating whether those senior Biden aides played any role in keeping concerns about the elderly former president's mental acuity shielded from the public eye and even from lower-level White House staff.It is not clear if any of the aforementioned former Biden aides planned to claim executive privilege in communications with the committee, but it is not unheard of for a new administration to waive it for investigations involving its predecessor.The Biden administration waived executive privilege for records sought by the now-defunct House select committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol attack in 2021.The Biden White House also rejected executive privilege claims made by Peter Navarro and Michael Flynn in that panel's investigation. However, the latest movement in Comer's probe comes after he and committee staff held their first closed-door interview with one of Biden's former aides.Neera Tanden appeared on Capitol Hill for an hourslong sworn deposition Tuesday. As it had for others, the Trump White House waived any claim to executive privilege for Tanden's sitdown.She told reporters afterward that there was "absolutely not" any effort by senior aides to disguise Biden's mental state.REPUBLICANS CHALLENGE 'IRRELEVANT' BUDGET OFFICE AS IT CRITIQUES TRUMP'S 'BEAUTIFUL BILL'"I answered every question, was pleased to discuss my public service, and it was a thorough process, and I'm glad I answered everyone's question," Tanden also said.A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that Tanden testified she had minimal interaction with Biden in her role as staff secretary."To obtain approval for autopen signatures, she would send decision memos to members of the Presidents inner circle. She stated that she was not aware of what actions or approvals occurred between the time she sent the memo and the time she received it back with approval," the source said.Bernal is set to sit down with Comer and investigators for his own testimony on Thursday.

Idaho officials have issued an Amber Alert for two missing teens who may be heading to Utah over their "religious beliefs," according to authorities and local reports.The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office believes Allen Larand Fischer, 13, and Rachelle Leray Fischer, 15, both members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FDLS), left their Monteview, Idaho, home and returned to Trenton, Utah, where they previously lived, around June 22.Their older sister, Elintra Dee Fischer, 18, was reported missing on Jan. 1, 2023. The Sheriff's Office believes the children "willingly left to return to Trenton, Utah due to religious beliefs."On Tuesday, the sheriff's office said that through the course of its investigation, "detectives have been unable to find concrete evidence regarding a vehicle Rachelle and Allen Fischer may have left in."MOTHER CHARGED WITH MURDER AFTER FAKING KIDNAPPING OF 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER: POLICE"We have confirmed that the vehicle that was initially reported as being involved has not traveled to Idaho during the time that Rachelle and Allen went missing," the sheriff's office said in a Tuesday Facebook post. "Detectives have narrowed down the time frame that the children went missing to [Sunday, June 22] between the hours of 6 [p.m.] and 8 p.m."NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYED IN MANHUNT FOR SURVIVALIST ACCUSED OF KILLING HIS THREE YOUNG DAUGHTERSThe sheriff's office said it was "unsure" at this point "if they have left the immediate area or are still close by."The children's mother, Elizabeth Roundy, spoke with FOX 13 Salt Lake City and said she used to be a plural wife, or in a polyamorous marriage, and left the FLDS church in 2020.WASHINGTON STATE FATHER WANTED FOR MURDER AFTER 3 DAUGHTERS FOUND DEAD"They consider me to be an apostate now," she told the outlet. "I was sent away to repent, and I came back for my children, and I had to go through the courts to get them back."Court documents obtained by FOX 13 show Roudy was awarded custody of Allen, Rachelle and Elintra, her three youngest children.MISSING WISCONSIN TEEN FOUND THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER DISAPPEARANCEAuthorities believe Elintra may be taking her two siblings back to Utah, but that information has not been confirmed, according to FOX 13."Theyve just been brainwashed and turned against me," Roundy told the outlet.The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information about the missing juveniles to contact their dispatch center at 208-745-9210 option 7.

A Washington state hiker survived nearly a week in the woods after getting lost during a "shortcut" and falling from a tree.Authorities responded to a 911 caller who reported hearing a voice calling for help from the Suquamish woods around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, the Kitsap County Sheriffs Office (KCSO) said ina Facebook post.When a sheriffs deputy arrived, he heard "a faint, distressful voice coming from the woods saying he had fallen from a tree," the department said.HIKER DISAPPEARS FROM EDGE OF THE WORLD CAMPGROUND ON TRIP WITH FATHERKCSO did not immediately respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment.First responders quickly deployed to the area, with teams from KCSO, Washington Explorer Search and Rescue, Olympic Mountain Rescue, Kitsap Search Dogs and Suquamish Tribal Police Department working to locate the hiker.MANHUNT FOR FATHER ACCUSED OF KILLING 3 DAUGHTERS TAKES GRIM TURN IN WILDERNESSFollowing a six-hour-long search, the man who authorities have not identified was located and subsequently carried out of the woods on a stretcher, police said.The lone hiker told first responders he hitched a ride to the end of a road before he became disoriented and wandered into the woods, the Suquamish Police Department said.HIKER, 33, DIES AFTER HIKING ARIZONA MOUNTAINS IN EXTREME HEAT, 4 OTHERS RESCUEDThe man also revealed he had been lost for four to five days after trying to take a shortcut through the woods, according to KCSO.Authorities transported the hiker to a local medical center for evaluation and treatment. An update regarding his condition as of Wednesday was not immediately available.

President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegeth railed against the "fake news" media during a NATO summit press conference for casting doubt that the U.S. strikes on Iran obliterated the country's nuclear program."A statement came in from the Atomic Energy Commission of Israel," Trump said during a Wednesday press conference from The Hague as he wrapped up his NATO summit trip in the Netherlands. "They're very serious people, as you know.""'The devastating U.S. strike on Fordow destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility totally inoperable,'" Trump read from the letter. "'It was devastated. We assessed that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities had set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come. This achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not get access to nuclear material.'"Trump took aim at U.S. media outlets for initially casting doubt that the strikes he ordered on Iran Saturday evening were not as devastating as the administration initially reported, calling outlets such as CNN "fake news" and slamming them for "maligning" the U.S. military by doubting the ferocity of the strikes.TRUMP THRASHES CNN AS GUTLESS LOSERS FOR COVERAGE OF US STRIKES ON IRAN"I just want to thank our pilots," Trump said. "You know, they were maligned and treated very bad, demeaned by fake news CNN, which is back there, believe it or not, wasting time, wasting time. Nobody's watching them. So they just wasted a lot of time. wasting my time. And the New York Times, they put out a story that, 'well, maybe they were hit, but it wasn't so bad that they ended the war.'"The president added that he received a call that the pilots who deployed from Missouri to Iran for the strikes were "devastated" due to certain media outlets attempting to downplay the success of the mission."Do you know, I got a call from Missouri? Great state that I won three times by a lot. And I got a call that the pilots and people on the plane were devastated because (the media) were trying to minimize the attack. And they all said it was hit, but oh, but we don't think it was really maybe hit that badly.' And they were devastated," he said."They put their lives on the line and then they have, and I'm not referring to you, but real scum. Real scum come out and write reports that are as negative as they could possibly be," Trump continued.TRUMP ADDRESSES NATION ON 'SPECTACULAR MILITARY SUCCESS' OF US STRIKES ON IRANIAN NUCLEAR FACILITIESHegseth, who joined Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the summit, also slammed CNN and the New York Times during the press conference. Hegseth argued that such media outlets work "to find a way to spin" the news."There's a reason the president calls out fake news for what it is. These pilots, these refuelers, these fighters, these air defenders. The skill and the courage it took to go into enemy territory flying 36 hours on behalf of the American people and the world to take out a nuclear program is beyond what anyone in this audience can fathom," Hegseth said."And then the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the instinct of the New York Times, is to try to find a way to spin it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt President Trump or our country. They don't care what the troops think. They don't care what the world thinks. They want to spin it to try to make him look bad based on a leak. Of course, we've all seen plenty of leakers and what a leakers do? They have agendas. And what do they do? Do they share the whole information or just the part that they want to introduce?"Trump announced Saturday evening in a surprise Truth Social post that the U.S. military had successfully executed strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, saying in an address to the nation later that night that the facilities were "completely and totally obliterated.""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 said in his address Saturday with the trio standing behind him. "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."MISDIRECTION AND 'DECEPTION' LIKELY KEY IN TRUMP ADMINS SURPRISE IRAN STRIKE"Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated," Trump said. "And Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier."A handful of legacy and liberal media outlets attempted to cast doubt that the strikes truly devastated the Iranian facilities, including CNN publishing an exclusive Tuesday claiming "US strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites," while the New York Times reported the Fordow nuclear facility was "severely damaged" but not "destroyed."White House officials, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, have slammed such reports as "fake news.""This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as "top secret" but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community," Leavitt posted to X on Tuesday of the CNN report. "The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Irans nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration."

Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid clashed with a CNN panel on Tuesday as she defended Iran after President Donald Trump launched a strike against its nuclear facilities over the weekend."Iran-backed militias that attacked the United States forces 170 times in Syria, in Jordan and in Iraq. You know who said that? Joe Biden said that. Thats why he authorized F-15 strikes against Iran," Brad Todd, a CNN contributor, told Reid.The ex-MSNBC host said during the exchange on CNN's "Newsnight" that she didn't look to former President Joe Biden as a moral authority because he "has allowed Israel in an unrestrained manner to slaughter Palestinians in Gaza.""The bottom line here is the way that we know that Iran did not have nuclear weapons is that if they had nuclear weapons, Israel would not attack them. The reason theyre trying to get nukes, and probably Saudi Arabia is trying to get them, is because an expansionist power in their region keeps threatening them and actually bombs them," Reid argued.JOY REID FLOATS SPECULATION THAT HER RACE, 'ANXIETY' SURROUNDING TRUMP PLAYED ROLE IN MSNBC FIRING"I dont think its okay that Israel has nukes either. And so the bottom line is, Israel does not even subject its nuclear weapons to the IAEA. And so my question is, should anyone in the region have nukes?" she added."Joy, this is not just about nukes. Its also about Iran being a state sponsor of terrorism and chaos and violence and death around the world. So, I mean, theres that too," CNN host Abby Phillip said.Arthur Aidala also pushed back on Reid and said she was backing a country that slaughters gay people and kills others for their religious beliefs."LGBTQ people can't even serve in the military under the president you prefer," Reid responded, as Aidala added, "We're not killing them!""Theyre allowed to live, but theyre not allowed to serve in the United States military. Theyre being persecuted. They cant have their stories told in school. The United States is not exactly a beacon of rights for gay people," Reid argued as Aidala called her out for comparing gay rights in the U.S. to Iran.LAWMAKERS, MEDIA DINGED FOR BLAMING TRUMP OR RIPPING ISRAEL ON IRAN: 'YOU THINK KAMALA COULD'VE STOPPED THEM?'"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg last week suggested during an episode of the ABC News talk show that the U.S. in 2025 was the same as Iran, specifically for Black people.Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin pushed back on Goldberg, noting that living in America today was "very different" than living in Iran."Not if you're Black," Goldberg insisted as co-host Sunny Hostin added, "not for everybody."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREReid's MSNBC show was canceled earlier this year and the far-left personality speculated on Tuesday that her coverage of Gaza and repeated criticism of Trump is what led to her firing.

Dallas Goedert won't have to abandon his spot behind Jalen Hurts during the Philadelphia Eagles' signature "tush push" play.NFL owners reportedly got into a heated exchange last month while arguing about a potential ban on the play the Eagles have figured out to perform better than any other team in the league.The Green Bay Packers proposed to ban the tush push, and ESPN reported Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made an "impassioned speech" defending his team's short-yardage play call.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMIn the end, the tush push, or "brotherly shove," remained in place as NFL owners rejected the Packers' rule change proposal.Goedert couldn't be happier."Its a great football play," Goedert told Fox News Digital with a big smile at Tight End University on Tuesday. "In my opinion, third-and-one is the hardest play. If somebody runs through a gap and makes a play in the backfield, then your drives over. We like to say that everythings first-and-nine for us. If we can get nine yards, we believe were going to get the first down."NFL OWNERS FAIL TO PASS PROPOSAL THAT WOULD HAVE BANNED TUSH PUSHThe argument for those in favor of the famous Eagles play was that any team in the league could figure it out. The formation is on tape, and everything is legal.Philadelphia just performs it at a higher rate than anyone else, even the Buffalo Bills, who do their own with Josh Allen.Goedert, who stands right behind Hurts and shoves his backside when the ball is snapped, said it's something the offense works tirelessly on."We work really hard at it. Our offensive line, theres drills for it," he explained. "Pulling low and pulling the grass [up]. Its not like were the only team that can do it. They can do it. Theyre just not as successful."In the spirit of "TEU," Goedert had a good retort to those who still oppose the play today."To get rid of something people are good at, Im going to have them stop throwing the ball to Travis [Kelce] because hes too good at catching it," he said, jokingly.While he won't be practicing the tush push until Eagles training camp, Goedert got his reps in alongside 80 of his fellow NFL tight ends at Vanderbilt University, as the fifth edition of TEU took place at the SEC institution.In fact, George Kittle, the San Francisco 49ers star who co-founded the three-day work summit alongside Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen, used Goedert during his team meeting on Tuesday morning to explain the standard of what a great tight end in the NFL is."It feels really good. Early on, George would only show his film, which is understandable," Goedert said with a laugh. "Now that hes expanded to other people, we all love watching each other. We all love watching the target tapes and see people. Its really cool to be that standard and know that the best in the business see your tape and are grateful for what youre doing for the position."As Goedert hopes to continue growing the position, he also hopes to keep pushing his quarterback to first downs, and better yet, touchdowns as the tush push won't be filed away for at least another season.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

As President Donald Trump's historic ceasefire takes effect, uncertainty over the future of Iran and the push for regime change has the main Iranian opposition groups verbally fighting it out to persuade Iranians that they are most capable of taking over from the mullahs.In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), answered questions on the group's positions and policies that she hopes will lead the Iranian people to rise up against the regime.Rajavi leads the controversial group, which is affiliated to Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK). Once listed as a terrorist organization in the U.S., the group was taken off the list in 2012 and is credited with first exposing the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear weapons program.Excerpts of Fox News Digital's interview with Maryam Rajavi follow.IS REGIME CHANGE A POSSIBILITY IN IRAN? ASSESSING NEXT STEPS FOR USMaryam Rajavi: Absolutely. Regime change in Iran is not merely a possibility but a historical imperative inevitable and within reach. An explosive and discontented society and an organized resistance willing to pay the highest price for their homelands freedom exist today. Conversely, the regime of the supreme leader has lost all legitimacy due to deep-rooted structural corruption, ruthless repression, and widespread economic incompetence.The waves of popular uprisingsfrom 2009 to 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022 with powerful slogans like "Death to the Dictator, Death to Khamenei" and "Death to the oppressor, whether Shah or Leader," clearly reflect the Iranian peoples unwavering resolve to end this regime.Maryam Rajavi: We offer the Iranian people a democratic and inclusive alternative: a republic based on separation of religion and state, complete gender equality, respect for the rights of ethnic and religious minorities, and abolition of the death penalty. The Ten-Point Plan I presented 19 years ago to the Council of Europe is rooted in universal principles of human rights and provides a comprehensive and practical roadmap for a free and just Iran. Unlike the regime, which rules through fear and repression, we believe in the power of the people and their free choice.At the core of our resistance stands the Mujahedin-e Khalq (PMOI/MEK), with its 60-year history of confronting two dictatorships, presenting a tolerant and democratic Islam that embraces coexistence among followers of different religions. It represents a cultural alternative indeed, the antithesis to the backward and reactionary culture of the clerics. From the outset, our slogan confronting the clerics has been clear: "No to compulsory veiling, no to compulsory religion, and no to compulsory governance."EXILED PRINCE LOOKS TO LEAD IRANIAN PEOPLE IN ENDING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC: 'OUR BERLIN WALL MOMENT'One of the most distinctive features of this resistance against misogynistic religious tyranny is its steadfast commitment to gender equality. For more than three decades, women have exercised hegemony and held commanding roles within the MEK, the principal constituent of the NCRIa pioneering phenomenon that represents a profound and unprecedented transformation.Maryam Rajavi: Under conditions of absolute tyranny, when has the popularity of our resistance ever been genuinely tested through free elections or reliable polling? Under these circumstances, the sole measure is the legitimacy of resistance itself.Such accusations are part of a deliberate and extensive demonization campaign by the regime against its principal opposition. Annually, the regime spends hundreds of millions of dollars producing films, television series, hundreds of books, thousands of articles, recruiting mercenaries posing as oppositionists, forging documents, and conducting cyber operations, as well as hiring foreign journalists and media outletsall to disparage the Iranian resistance and cast doubt on its credibility. Their goal is to persuade international counterparts that no legitimate alternative exists and that engaging with this regime is their only option.If our resistance truly lacked popular support, why is the regime so fearful of its influence and impact inside Iran? Why, over the past 46 years, has the permanent slogan at all official regime ceremonieseven in parliamentbeen "Death to the MEK?" Why have over 100,000 MEKsupporters and members been executed? Why has the regime consistently targeted gatherings and representatives of the resistance abroad in its terrorist plots and operations?Look at the NCRIs international gatherings, sometimes attracting crowds of up to 100,000 people. These are representatives of the Iranian people, especially from the urban middle class. Look at the list of MEK martyrs, encompassing diverse social classes, and the MEKs financial independence, funded entirely by Iranian contributions at home and abroad.THE MISSING MULLAH: IRANS SUPREME LEADER A NO-SHOW FOR NEGOTIATIONS, THEN HID AS US POUNDED NUKE SITESWe fight on behalf of tens of millions of Iranians for freedom and a better future, pursuing the very ideals George Washington fought forfundamental human rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, under a government deriving its power from the consent of the governed.Maryam Rajavi: Our message to the President and all world leaders is clear: regime change is within reach, achievable by the Iranian people and their organized resistance. We have consistently emphasized we need neither money nor weapons. What we seek from the international community is a firm policy against the regime and recognition of the Iranian peoples right to self-determinationfree from any form of dictatorship, whether religious or monarchicaland acknowledgment of theResistance Units struggle against the IRGC to overthrow the regime. This approach benefits not only the Iranian people but also ensures lasting peace and stability in the Middle East and the world.Twenty-one years ago, at the European Parliament, I warned that neither war nor appeasement would resolve the Iran crisis. I advocated the realistic third option: regime change by the people and their organized resistance. I warned then that appeasement would embolden the regime and eventually impose war on the West. Today, this warning has, all too bitterly, become reality.Maryam Rajavi: Within Iran, all those committed to overthrowing this regime stand united.Politically, since its founding in 1981, the NCRI has demonstrated, as the broadest and longest-lasting political coalition in Iranian history, its readiness to cooperate with all political groups and currents committed to democracy, human rights, secularism, and a republican form of governance. This council encompasses diverse organizations, representatives of various ethnicities, including Kurds, Baluchis, Arabs, Turkmens, and political figures with varied perspectives. In 2002, the NCRI proposed the National Solidarity Plan, urging all political currents and groups to unite around three principles: regime overthrow, democratic republic, and secularism.TRUMP HINTS AT REGIME CHANGE IN IRAN WHILE DECLARING MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN AFTER US STRIKESThe NCRI fully supports minority rights oppressed under both the [Mohammad Reza] Pahlavi and clerical dictatorships, and our plan for autonomy in Iranian Kurdistan, adopted 42 years ago, serves as a model for other ethnic groups.However, [the]monarchy has no place in Iran, and any alliance with monarchists benefits only the regime, which seeks to associate its opponents with the past dictatorship. Remnants of the Shah have neither influence nor significant organizational presence within or outside Iran.Maryam Rajavi: Only through a democratic processfree and fair elections.According to the NCRIs plan, the provisional government established after the regimes fall is obligated to organize elections for a Constituent and Legislative Assembly within six monthsfree elections through direct and secret ballot. Once convened, this Assembly will assume governance, tasked with drafting a new constitution and managing national affairs. The provisional governments mandate will conclude upon the Assemblys establishment, which will then appoint a new interim government reflective of the peoples vote.The Iranian people look neither to the past nor the current status quo but forwardto a free and democratic future, where legitimacy derives solely from the ballot box.
