Overview

  • President Trump authorized airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities late Saturday after Iran failed to negotiate limits on its enrichment program, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
  • Border czar Tom Homan told Maria Bartiromo that 1,272 Iranian nationals were released into the United States during the past four years, compared with zero under Trump.
  • Homan warned that more than two million migrants evaded U.S. border patrol since 2021, calling it the biggest national security vulnerability he has seen.
  • The U.S. Department of State raised travel warnings across the Middle East and ordered most non-emergency personnel and family members to leave Lebanon.
  • Hegseth said President Trump pursued peace talks but resorted to military action when Iran stonewalled efforts to end its nuclear enrichment.
