As the total damage to three Iranian nuclear sites continues to be assessed, one Middle East expert says that Irans stated assessment only reinforces U.S. and Israeli views.Israel, which has said the strikes set the Iranian nuclear program back years, has the greatest resources in place to make a determination and the most incentive to get the facts right, Jacob Olidort, director of the Center of American Security at the America First Policy Institute, told Fox News Digital."Both the US and Israel say they achieved their objectives," Olidort said. "Israel presumably had planned around this for many years, and Israel says it has met its objectives, which is destroying Irans ability to enrich uranium."The U.S. launched a surprise strike using B-2 stealth bombers and bunker-buster bombs onIrans Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities on Saturday.HEGSETH TEARS INTO REPORTERS, ALLEGING THEY CHEER AGAINST TRUMP' AND IRAN STRIKESSome media reports have pushed back on the Trump administrations claims that the sites were destroyed and set Iran back years in its quest to achieve a nuclear weapon.Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Wednesday told Al Jazeera that "our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, thats for sure," though he refused to go into detail.Olidort said that "everything Iran is doing now is to save face."THE MISSION WAS ACCOMPLISHED: SENATE REPUBLICANS PUSH BACK AGAINST LEAKED REPORT ON IRAN STRIKES"We should never take anything Iran says at face value, but their assessment can only reinforce the views of Israel and the U.S. view," he said.The head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, International Atomic Energy Agency Director Rafael Grossi, reiterated on Thursday that the damage done by Israeli and U.S. strikes at Iranian nuclear facilities "is very, very, very considerable.""I think annihilated is too much, but it suffered enormous damage," Grossi told French broadcaster RFI.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Garett Bolles job is to protect those important to him.On the field, he does it with second-year quarterback Bo Nix - off the field, he aims to return the favor to military veterans."Seeing military veterans, what they go through on a regular basis, they go to war for us so we can live freely here in the United States, they provide a safe place for us to raise our families, to raise our kids, and without them and what they do overseas, to protect us from the evils of the world, it really goes to show you what hard work does," Bolles said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.That's why the Denver Broncos offensive lineman teamed up with USAA and Team Rubicon to help protect Eagle Next Ranch in Colorado from wildfires earlier this week.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe ranch provides therapy for military veterans with PTSD, and Bolles, who grew up in a wildfire danger zone in Utah, spent his day clearing brush and cleaning debris around the facility in what was a full-circle moment."Not only does it play close to home being in the military background, but just being out here in the community. Colorado is known for being a high-risk wildfire area, its one of the deadliest spots in the country when it comes to wildfires and all of the wildlife that we have here, all the amazing things that we have in this beautiful state," Bolles said. "Being able to have a protective zone around this beautiful ranch so that we can protect them from wildfires, so the military veterans can come out here and have their peace and not being able to stress out over wildfires. Just clear brush, using some machetes and chainsaws, which is always fun being a rancher myself, just clearing debris and making sure that this place is protected and making sure that were cleaning up the unnecessary brush that needs to be done to be able to make sure this is a safe environment.""Military veterans and knowing that that is something thats part of my family, part of my legacy and my life, knowing that it was something that they needed somebody to come out here and protect the community, its what I do on a regular basis. I protect my quarterback, so protecting my community out here is something that just always rings the bell for me. I always jump at those opportunities, because its something I do on a regular basis, and it always puts a smile on my face," he added.EAGLES RUNNING BACK AJ DILLON EMBRACES MENTAL CHALLENGES OF CHESS TO PREPARE FOR 'PERFECT' OPPORTUNITYNow, Bolles will turn his attention to protecting Nix's blindside. This past season, Bolles, a lifelong Bronco, made the playoffs for the first time in his soon-to-be nine-year career."Ive gone through some rough years. The last seven years, its been ups and downs. Weve had high hopes and fallen short multiple, multiple times Im here going on my ninth year, and just seeing the changes getting a new facility, new ownership, new coaching staff, new players in and out. Its so awesome to be one of those older guys that are here. It used to be a revolving door weve closed that revolving door, and now were moving forward. Its awesome, and Im really looking forward to all the amazing experiences were going to have this year, build off what we did last year, and focus on the little things to continue to lead us down the path to winning the Super Bowl."Bolles plays somewhat of double-duty with Nix - for one, he's a teammate who must stop anyone in his path to keep Nix upright. Simultaneously, Nix just completed his rookie season, and Bolles is now an eight-year veteran."I think we feed off each other. Sometimes, I gotta loosen Bo up and be like, Yo, its good brother, you got this!" And sometimes, hes like, GB, lock in!" Bolles said.But at the end of the day, Bolles said Nix, a "freak of nature," can be the catalyst to get the Broncos back to their glory days."Bo is such a freak of nature, man. Hes so composed, so calm, so collective. To watch him be the light of our team. We have a quarterback on offense, and we have another freak of nature on defense in Pat Surtain that leads them. So watching Bo and the young players continue to step up day in and day out to lead this team to victory like we did last year to our first playoff appearance since 2015," Bolles said."Its been years of losing, its been tough. But one thing about our team, were so resilient, were going to continue to fight every single day. It doesnt matter how you start, it matters how you finish. The sky is the limit for us, we can go as far as we want. I feel like the only people that are going to get in our way is ourselves. As long as we can control what we can control and have the best attitude and effort day in and day out, were going to be the most successful team this year in the NFL."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

FIRST ON FOX: Senate Republicans want to build a paper trail of former President Joe Bidens autopen usage with the end goal of calling more hearings, passing legislation or amending the Constitution to best address "a mentally incapacitated president."Sen. Eric Schmitt, chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, is requesting special access under the Presidential Records Act to a trove of Biden-era documents and memos that chronicle his usage of an autopen.In a letter to Secretary of State and Acting National Archivist Marco Rubio exclusively obtained by Fox News, Schmitt argued that creating a paper trail of key directives made toward the end of his presidency would help in "deciding which legislative remedy is most appropriate."TOP BIDEN AIDE ADMITS TO CONGRESS SHE DIRECTED AUTOPEN SIGNATURES WITHOUT KNOWING WHO GAVE FINAL APPROVAL"In particular, the increased use of the autopen to sign pardons, executive orders, and other documents as his Presidency progressed became a poignant symbol of President Bidens mental decline and has created questions about the validity of those orders and pardons if President Biden did not direct the use of the autopen," he wrote.Schmitt requested access to a slew of documents, including memos about procedures for usage of the autopen, who was granted authority to use the autopen and emails from staff authorizing or requesting authorization for autopen usage.SENATE HEARING ON WHO WAS 'REALLY RUNNING' BIDEN WHITE HOUSE KICKS OFF WEDNESDAYHe also requested access to all White House records after Nov. 1, 2024, that refer or relate to presidential pardons; that prioritize briefing books, memos and decision memos for pardons; and, eventually, access to all White House records after Nov. 1."With that information, the subcommittee will be better positioned to ensure that any potential proposed amendment will be sufficiently comprehensive so as to address any plausible contingency concerning a mentally incapacitated President," Schmitt wrote."It would be challenging enough to amend the Constitution once much less more than once if it then subsequently turned out not all contingencies around presidential incapacity were adequately considered."Schmitts letter comes after the Senate Judiciary Committees hearing on Bidens alleged mental decline while in office and how the autopen could have played a central role in his inner circles alleged attempt to skirt the Constitution while continuing to carry out the duties of the office.EX-WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY ON WHO 'REALLY RAN THE COUNTRY' DURING BIDEN ERAIt also explicitly mentions the closed-door, transcribed hearing with Bidens former director of the Domestic Policy Council, Neera Tanden, conducted by the House Oversight Committee this week.A source told Fox News Digital that during the transcribed interview, which lasted five hours, Tanden testified she had "minimal interaction with President Biden" in her role as staff secretary and that to obtain autopen signatures, she would send decision memos to members of Bidens inner circle.She said during the interview she was not aware of what actions or approvals happened between the time the memo was sent out and returned with approval.However, Tanden's opening statement, shared with Fox News Digital by her lawyer, Michael Bromwich, said that, as staff secretary, she was responsible for "handling the flow of documents to and from the President" and that she was authorized to direct that autopen signatures be "affixed to certain categories of documents.""We had a system for authorizing the use of the autopen that I inherited from prior Administrations," Tanden said. "We employed that system throughout my tenure as Staff Secretary."She was later named director of Biden's Domestic Policy Council and said she was no longer responsible for the flow of documents and was no longer involved in decisions related to the autopen."I would note that much of the public discussion on the subject matter of this hearing has conflated two very different issues:first, the presidents age and second, whetherPresident Bident was in command as President,"she said. "I had no experience in the White House that would provide any reason to question his command as President. He was in charge." Schmitt requested that access to the swathe of memos and communications be granted no later than July 16."It is important for this subcommittee to have a clear picture of President Bidens decision-making capacity at the end of his presidency and to know the extent to which members of his inner circle possibly usurped the Presidents decision-making authority," he wrote.Fox News Digital's Liz Elkind contributed to this report.

Federal prosecutors on Thursday told a judge that the Trump administration will begin removal proceedings against Kilmar Abrego Garcia to deport him a country other than his native El Salvador if he is released from a Tennessee jail.When U.S. Magistrate Judge Paula Xinis asked about the timing of the removal: "30 seconds or 30 days or 30 months," a federal prosecutor answered that he could only say the removal was not "imminent."Xinis has scheduled a hearing on the matter for July 7.JUDGE SETS STRICT CONDITIONS FOR ABREGO GARCIA'S RELEASE AS TRUMP OFFICIALS PURSUE CASE AGAINST HIMAt issue is whether the judge has the jurisdiction to order Kilmar Abrego Garcias return to Maryland. Abrego Garcias attorneys want Xinis to order the government to return their client to Maryland and to bar U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from deporting him while his criminal case in Tennessee proceeds.Abrego Garcia is currently in federal custody and has been indicted on human smuggling charges, which he denies.The lawyers for Abrego Garcia filed an emergency motion on Thursday asking a judge to order his return to Maryland, and to block immigration officials from deporting him while his criminal case in Tennessee continues to play out.They told Judge Xinis that they have concerns "that the government may try to remove Mr. Gregor Garcia quickly over the weekend."ABREGO GARCIA LAWYERS ASK US JUDGE TO ORDER RETURN TO MARYLAND AMID ONGOING CRIMINAL CASEAnother federal judge in Nashville has ruled that Abrego Garcia has a right to be released while awaiting trial. However, on Wednesday, she decided to keep him in custody for at least a few more days over concerns that U.S. immigration officials would swiftly try to deport him again."If this Court does not act swiftly, then the Government is likely to whisk Abrego Garcia away to some place far from Maryland," Abrego Garcias attorneys wrote in their request to Xinis in Greenbelt, Md.Abrego Garcia was living in Maryland with his American wife and children when he was deported to El Slavador in what the Trump administration called an administrative error. He had been in the United States for over a decade.KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA SUSPECTED OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN REPORT OBTAINED BY FOX NEWSMeanwhile, the Trump administration maintains that Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, an accusation that he denies. In addition, his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, filed a protective order against her husband in August 2020.The order said their shared son and stepchildren needed protection from Abrego Garcia, accusing him of verbal and physical abuse against her and mental abuse against her children.Earlier this month, Abrego Garcia pleaded not guilty to smuggling charges.Fox News Digital's Breanne Deppisch and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
