Ex-Obama advisor warns Iran military strikes 'might' lead to civilian massacres, overlooking protester deaths
Former national security advisor Ben Rhodes said President Donald Trump's military strikes against Iran "may" get civilians killed, appearing to overlook the deaths of Iranian protesters.
Rhodes, who previously worked under the Obama administration, wrote in a New York Times essay on Monday that Trump "may come to regret" his strikes against Iran over the weekend, warning that Iranian citizens "may" be killed as a result.
"Mr. Trump’s only stated plan for regime change was a call for the Iranian people to rise up," Rhodes wrote. "Then what? Those who do may be massacred. Some version of the regime could still cling to power."
Rhodes' essay did not reference the thousands of deaths reported after the Iranian regime's crackdown on protesters. The death toll has ranged from approximately 3,100 to over 36,000, though exact numbers have not been verified.
Instead, he allowed, "Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was a brutal and repressive force in the lives of Iranians for decades."
Rhodes said that Trump's operation had already led to the deaths of "untold civilians" based on Iranian state reports that a school had been hit in the strike.

"Mr. Trump’s authoritarianism is not abstract. There is nothing stopping him from wielding the awesome power of the United States to serve his own interests, not the public’s. War should never be normal. We don’t know where this one will lead, but we do know that it has already killed untold civilians — including dozens of girls who did nothing but go to school. The desensitization of Americans to this kind of violence is part of what is broken in our society," Rhodes said.
The U.S. has not claimed responsibility for the strike on the school, though authorities have said they were "looking into" reports of "civilian harm" caused by the military operation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Monday that the U.S. "will not deliberately target a school."
TRUMP DECLARES 'I GOT HIM BEFORE HE GOT ME' AFTER IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER KILLED IN STRIKE
Fox News Digital reached out to Rhodes and the White House for comment.
Rhodes has been attacking both the Trump administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the joint U.S.-Israel attack on Iran, claiming they both "seem to be totally unconcerned about the human beings — on all sides — who will suffer."
His comments were blasted by conservative commentators, who pointed to the Obama-era Iran deal as a catalyst for allowing the situation to escalate to this point and placing blame on the Obama administration for not taking the threat from Iran seriously.
China's compact humanoid robot shows off balance and flips
Humanoid robotics companies have already shown their machines can run at 22 mph, land backflips and even pull off front flips. So the new proving ground is not raw speed or acrobatics. It is control when something unexpected happens. That is where the EngineAI PM01 humanoid robot comes in.
In newly released footage, the compact humanoid keeps dancing after being deliberately pushed off balance. It performs a controlled forward slip, absorbs the disruption and smoothly regains rhythm within seconds. The motion looks fluid and surprisingly natural.
Then it lands another front flip, this time as part of a broader demonstration of balance and recovery.

HUMANOID ROBOT MAKES ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY BY DESIGNING A BUILDING
Speed gets attention. Recovery earns trust. When someone shoves the PM01, it does not freeze. It recalculates its center of mass, adjusts joint torque and corrects posture in real time. That level of control depends on tight coordination between sensors, actuators and AI algorithms. The front flip adds another challenge.
Front flips are typically harder than backflips. Rotating forward shifts the body weight ahead of the support base. That makes landings less forgiving. The EngineAI PM01 humanoid robot executes the move with coordinated arm swing, core stabilization and accurate landing mechanics. This is not about flashy tricks. It is about controlled dynamic motion under stress.
The PM01 stands just under 4 feet tall. That smaller build works to its advantage. A lower center of mass reduces tipping risk and requires less rotational force during flips. Its lighter structure also helps distribute impact forces more efficiently when it lands.
By comparison, EngineAI's larger SE01 stands about 4 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 88 pounds. The PM01 is roughly 10.5 inches shorter and about 17.6 pounds lighter. That size difference makes it more agile in research and development settings.
Full-sized humanoids face greater mechanical stress during high-impact maneuvers. They need stronger actuators, reinforced joints and heavier structural support to stay stable. Compact robots like the EngineAI PM01 can achieve advanced movement with less overall strain.
CHINA'S ROBOTICS GIANT PUTS 200 ROBOTS TO THE TEST
Under the hood, the EngineAI PM01 humanoid robot combines advanced perception with serious computing power. It uses an Intel RealSense depth camera for visual awareness and spatial mapping. A dual-chip setup integrates NVIDIA Jetson Orin with an Intel N97 processor. That architecture supports real-time AI workloads and rapid balance correction when the robot is pushed or slips.
The robot features 24 degrees of freedom, including 12 joint motors. This design allows smooth coordinated movement across its limbs and torso. In the small humanoid segment, PM01 competes with models like the Unitree G1 and the Booster T1. It walks at up to about 4.5 miles per hour, faster than the T1, though still below some larger high-speed humanoid platforms built for sprint performance.
EngineAI appears less focused on headline-grabbing speed and more focused on refined stability and controlled motion.
As humanoid videos go viral, skepticism follows. EngineAI recently addressed CGI accusations by releasing footage of its T800 humanoid physically interacting with its CEO. The company clearly wants to demonstrate that its robots operate in the real world.
That credibility push matters. In a crowded robotics market, bold claims are common. Physical demonstrations help separate engineering progress from digital effects.
WARM-SKINNED AI ROBOT WITH CAMERA EYES IS SERIOUSLY CREEPY
Right now, this looks like a polished demo. However, balance and recovery are critical for real-world use. If humanoid robots are going to work in warehouses, hospitals or our homes, they must handle bumps, slips and unexpected contact without causing damage. A machine that can brace itself, fall safely and stand back up is far more practical than one that performs a single choreographed stunt. As humanoids move closer to everyday environments, resilience becomes just as important as athletic performance. The more stable they are, the more comfortable people will feel sharing space with them.

Humanoid robots can already run fast, flip and move with serious athletic ability. What companies are racing to perfect now is something more practical: balance when things go wrong. The EngineAI PM01 humanoid robot shows how compact design and real-time correction can help a machine stay upright, recover quickly and keep moving without chaos. That kind of control matters far more in a crowded warehouse, hospital hallway or public space than a perfectly staged stunt. We are starting to see the shift from viral demo moments to robots built for everyday reliability. The real breakthrough is not the flip. It is what happens after the push.
When humanoid robots can absorb a shove, land a flip and get back to work without missing a beat, how close are we to seeing them in your neighborhood? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com

Slam Fest to bring pro wrestling festival to Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas
Las Vegas will turn into the pro wrestling capital of the world for a few days in April.
WrestleMania 42 will be the main course for most fans who will make the trek to Sin City. But in the days leading up to the star-studded show at Allegiant Stadium, there will be plenty of events taking place up and down The Strip that could leave them satisfied and smiling.
Paragon Talent Group and Palms Casino Resort announced last week that Slam Fest will be hosted at the venue, starting on April 15 and lasting until April 18. It will bring several pro wrestling companies together, including Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), House of Glory (HOG), World Wonder Ring Stardom and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling, for days of matches.

Additionally, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will host his comedy show, pro wrestling star Saraya will have a live episode of her podcast, "Rulebreakers with Saraya" and tag team legends Matt and Jeff Hardy will put on a "Hardy Party" with Matt Hardy sharing stories of his career.
Dean Muhtadi, the co-founder of Paragon Talent Group who performed in WWE as Mojo Rawley, told Fox News Digital the event received good marks among fans last year, and they wanted to do it again.
"How can we do this this year bigger and better? One way we decided to do that would be for us to put on the wrestling shows at the Palms this year," Muhtadi explained. "That was gonna be a big one. We’ve also brought in some really awesome events. The Hardys are doing their ‘Hardy Party,’ Mick Foley is going to have his comedy show, Saraya is going to do a live podcast. Of course, you already know, we’re going to bring the pool party back because that was our biggest event last year by a mile.
"A lot of fun for the fans. A lot of fun for us as well – tons of games and activities and things to do. We don’t ever want to throw parties where everyone is just kind of bored, standing around. We want to create very intimate experiences for the fans where they can actually hang out with the wrestlers, play games with them, have a bite, have a drink, have a conversation. With Paragon, that’s always what we’re trying to do with our events is to make the talent accessible and let everyone have a good time together."
One key component of having an event like Slam Fest was for it to be affordable.
Major pro wrestling events could see prices go from anywhere between $200 and $2,000.
Muhtadi said that with any event that Paragon has put on, affordability has "always been a top goal."
"One of the biggest core competencies of Paragon is sponsorships and third-party brand deals. With those, sometimes we’re able to get our partners to come on board and cut those costs down so that we can either do free admission or half-price admission, or something like that," he said. "If we’re able to bring in any of our partners, we want it to be a win-win for everybody. I think a lot of wrestling fans can agree that sometimes, when you see events too heavily branded, the sponsor logos everywhere, it can be a detraction unless fans feel a win from that too.
"We did our wrestlers combine event that was sponsored by DraftKings previously. We brought ticket prices down to next to nothing for that. We have done free admission for other events thanks to sponsors. DreamMania was a show that was put on that was totally free for fans to come in and that had pro wrestling shows and FloRida performing and musical performances, all that. But I think, especially in this climate, things are just getting more and more expensive by the day and I think that’s imperative to have a successful event. Get everybody in the door and let them have their fun once they’re there."
Either way, fans will be in for a treat throughout the week. Muhtadi had immense respect for each of the companies coming into the building.
RANDY ORTON, RHEA RIPLEY ENTER WRESTLEMANIA 42 TITLE PICTURE WITH ELIMINATION CHAMBER WINS
TJPW, Stardom and CMLL are well-established pro wrestling companies outside the U.S. that have created top stars and leveraged partnerships with the best of the best in the industry to bring their wrestlers to places like WWE and All Elite Wrestling.
Muhtadi said having companies like these come into Palms Casino for Slam Fest "shows you the strength of the pro wrestling world."
CMLL will make history as they will showcase its first standalone event held outside of Mexico at the Palms Casino Resort.
Scott D’Amore, the former Total Nonstop Action (TNA) president, founded Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling (MLP) and relaunched the brand in August 2024. The company has hosted several events since reentering the pro wrestling fray.
"Maple Leaf Pro, their first-ever show in the United States. When you go back and look through Scott D’Amore’s background, man, that’s kinda saying something right? This is a guy who is incredibly accomplished," he said. "He’s been one of our partners with Paragon to put on this entire thing in the first place, helping us spearhead the wrestling portion of Slam Fest and he’s been great.
"Also, kind of funny, considering we used to negotiate contracts against this guy. And everyone always used to say Scott D’Amore is such a nice guy and I was like, you know, I’ve never seen that part. I think he’s kind of a jerk a little bit. But that’s what happens when you’re negotiating these things, right? But now we’re on the same team, man, I understand every bit. I ever told him that, we were cracking up about it, but a wealth of knowledge bringing so much to the table for us here to put all this on."
HOG was co-founded by former TNA star Amazing Red in 2012 and is the lone U.S. company that will be featured in Slam Fest. The Hardys are HOG’s tag team champions and are expected to be in action during Slam Fest.
"As you can tell, we’re just really excited about the team that we put together, the shows that we’re going to be able to give to the fans. I mean, a lot of our events are going to be free admission, the pool party. You got some of the biggest names in the history of the business and fans can come meet them and hang out for literally $0 and the place is big enough to be able to house everybody, free entertainment supplemented by all the events. … it’s gonna be a lot.
"We got a lot of things cooking."

Pelosi's war powers flip-flop exposed in resurfaced Obama-era clip contradicts Trump criticism on Iran
A clip of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has resurfaced online where she flatly defended the then-Obama administration’s decision to strike Libya — without the congressional authorization she believes President Donald Trump should have secured before conducting his own strikes over the weekend.
"You’re saying that the president did not need authorization initially and still does not need any authorization from Congress on Libya?" a reporter asked Pelosi at a press event back in 2011.
"Yes," Pelosi answered plainly.
The unambiguous answer contrasts sharply with Pelosi’s view of Trump’s strikes against Iran on Saturday.
MASSIE-LED PUSH TO HANDCUFF TRUMP ON IRAN GETS JEFFRIES' BACKING
In a joint effort targeting Iranian military leadership, the U.S. and Israel killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday, citing an imperative to halt Iran’s pursuit of developing a nuclear weapon.
Pelosi swiftly condemned the operation.
"President Trump’s decision to initiate military hostilities into Iran starts another unnecessary war which endangers our servicemembers and destabilizes an already fragile region," Pelosi said in a post to X.
"The Constitution is clear: decisions that lead our nation into war must be authorized by Congress."
Pelosi, alongside other Democrats, is pursuing a war powers resolution that would limit Trump from taking further military action against Iran without express congressional approval.
Trump’s strikes bear similarity to President Barack Obama’s decision to strike Libya in 2011 under Operation Odyssey Dawn.
In that operation, Obama ordered a series of strikes against Libya in March 2011, looking to deter Muammar Gaddafi from attacking civilian protesters.
FETTERMAN PRAISES TRUMP'S IRAN OPERATION AS 'HISTORIC' MOMENT FOR AMERICA AMID PARTY DIVISIONS
Gaddafi, known as the "Mad Dog of the Middle East," was the ruler of Libya from 1969 to 2011. He had a long and complicated relationship with the U.S. — at times aligning with national objectives and, at others, governing in a manner the U.S. couldn’t ignore.
The final straw came in the Libyan revolt of 2011, when demonstrations broke out in Benghazi and other cities. Like recent uprisings in Iran, Gaddafi met the threat to his rule with crushing force, marching his forces toward several Libyan cities that had resisted his power.
In what he described as attempts to uphold international law, Obama said the U.S., in partnership with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), had taken the strikes to protect Libya’s civilians to protect Libya’s civilians.
GOP REP MASSIE JOINS DEMOCRATS IN OPPOSITION TO US IRAN STRIKES
"We struck regime forces approaching Benghazi to save that city and the people within it," Obama said in remarks after the attacks.
The strikes did not kill Gaddafi.
Gaddafi was killed later that year at the hands of revolutionaries in October.
While Obama said he had consulted a bipartisan group of congressional lawmakers, he did not pursue a declaration of war before carrying out his strikes.
"So, for those who doubted our capacity to carry out this operation, I want to be clear: The United States of America has done what we said we would do," Obama said.
Pelosi’s office did not respond to a request for comment on whether she saw any key differences between the attacks carried out by Obama and those now ordered by Trump.
5 must-watch World Baseball Classic pool play matchups, including Team USA vs Mexico
Before the 2026 MLB season gets underway, the World Baseball Classic has returned to determine who the best national team in the world is.
There will be 20 teams vying for that title, and pool play begins this week with the final set for March 17 at loanDepot Park in Miami, Florida – the home of the Miami Marlins.
The tournament will feature baseball powerhouses, including Team USA, which will have the likes of Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Cal Raleigh, Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and many others leading the way to what the U.S. hopes is more victories in 2026, especially after how the Milan Cortina Games finished.

But others, like Japan, the reigning WBC champions, and the Dominican Republic, want bragging rights for the next three years until the tournament returns. Only two teams from each of the four pools will advance to the quarterfinals, and there are some amazing matchups already in store for this year’s tournament.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the top five pool play matchups that are can’t-miss games for all baseball lovers, starting in Tokyo.
Time to set those alarms, because Shohei Ohtani and the reigning WBC winners in Japan are hosting Korea, and these two rivals have delivered some epic games in this tournament in the past.
In 2009, these two battled in an extra-innings championship, and they’ve been playing against each other since 1954. However, while Japan has cemented itself as the team to beat in this tournament, Korea hasn’t been able to capture that glory from earlier years, failing to make it out of the group stage since the WBC in 2009.
WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC PREVIEW: TEAM BREAKDOWNS, TOP PLAYERS, PREDICTIONS
Korea has some solid players on its roster, including a veteran in big-game scenarios as Hyun-Jin Ryu, the ex-Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, will take the bump at 38 years old. It also features big leaguers like Hyeseong Kim, Jung Hoo Lee, Shay Whitcomb and Jahmai Jones.
But Japan is loaded once more, as Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Yusei Kikuchi and Tomoyuki Sugano are recognizable names on the pitching staff, while Munetaka Murakami, Seiya Suzuki, and Masataka Yoshida join Ohtani in the lineup.
You may not view this as a rivalry, but these teams certainly have a feud considering many players are from Curaçao – a constituent island country within the kingdom. Think Kenley Jensen, Ozzie Albies, Xander Bogaerts (Aruba), Jurickson Profar and Ceddanne Rafaela. Even Didi Gregorius, who was actually born in Amsterdam, will be on the field to face a stacked Dominican team over the weekend.
Take one look at the D.R.’s roster, and you’ll find All-Star after All-Star, from Manny Machado to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., to Juan Soto, to Fernando Tatis Jr., and the list goes on and on. It’s arguably the best lineup in the tournament considering the star power out there, and there’s no doubt every one of them wishes to get out of the group stage after not doing so last time out.
While Team USA has quite the roster, it’s Mexico who has been the victor in each of their last three matchups, and it wasn’t close in 2023 when El Tri took down the Stars and Stripes, 11-5.
Nonetheless, the U.S. made the championship, only to lose to Japan in the end. As a result, the team’s roster is quite literally the best it’s ever been, sporting a rotation that will feature Tarik Skubal (who is only expected to pitch in a pool play game against Great Britain), Skenes, Nolan McLean, Logan Webb and others.
In the bullpen, Mason Miller is set to close out games, while Garrett Whitlock, Griffin Jax and others bring electric stuff in high-leverage situations.
And in the field, while the aforementioned Judge will captain this Team USA squad, the likes of Gunnar Henderson, Bobby Witt Jr., Alex Bregman, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Byron Buxton make for a deep roster that manager Mark DeRosa can play with throughout the tournament.
But Mexico has a solid bunch once more, with Jonathan Aranda, Randy Arozarena, Jarren Duran and Luis Urias as notable bats in the lineup. On the mound, Taj Bradley, Taijuan Walker and electric closer Andrés Muñoz highlight the pitching staff.
For the first time since 2013, Puerto Rico is a host site for WBC pool play, and San Juan is sure to be raucous when its national team takes the field against a Canadian squad that is bursting with talent as well.
Jameson Taillon, Cal Quantrill and Mike Soroka are in the rotation, while the Naylor brothers, Josh and Bo, will be playing together for their country. The slugging Tyler O’Neill makes his return to the team as well, and Abraham Toro, Otto Lopez and Edouard Julien are just some of the big leaguers on the squad.
But it’s hard not to expect Puerto Rico to handle business in their capital, as it features a deep pitching staff, with closer Edwin Diaz hoping for redemption after his freak 2023 accident that led to a season-ending injury while with the New York Mets. Seth Lugo, Fernando Cruz, Jorge Lopez and Jose Espada make for scary depth, and the position players are recognizable names.
The biggest one, however, is Nolan Arenado, who helped the U.S. win gold in 2017 and silver in 2023. Though growing up around a large Cuban family, his maternal grandmother is Puerto Rican, and he noted wanting to play for Puerto Rico in the past. This is his moment to do so, as the newest Arizona Diamondbacks Platinum Glove third baseman will hope to add some solid play there like he has with the U.S. in the past.
This could be the best pool play game in the entire first round of this WBC, as star power galore will be on full display.
We’ve already mentioned what the D.R. brings to the table, but Venezuela is also loaded in all areas. Salvador Perez will return behind the plate, but William Contreras is also there to catch alongside his first-base brother, Willson. Luis Arraez, Eugenio Suarez, Andres Gimenez and Gleyber Torres highlight the infield, while Ronald Acuña Jr., Wilyer Abreu and Jackson Chourio hold down the outfield for Venezuela.
There’s a chance these two teams end up as the first- and second-place squads out of Pool D. And we might want them to, considering this pool play game could have a championship vibe when they take the field in Miami.

Seniors over 80 who eat specific diet may be less likely to reach 100 years old
Older adults who avoid meat in their golden years may be less likely to reach age 100 than their meat-eating counterparts, new research suggests.
Researchers tracked more than 5,000 adults aged 80 or older who were enrolled in the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.
Between 1998 and 2018, data showed that those who did not eat meat were less likely to reach their 100th birthday than those who consumed animal products regularly.
SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE ONE PRACTICE THAT COULD PREVENT DEMENTIA AS YOU AGE
The findings seem to contradict previous studies that have linked vegetarianism and plant-based diets to lower risks of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and obesity.
Most evidence supporting the benefits of plant-based diets comes from studies tracking younger populations, the researchers noted.
The study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, points to losses in muscle mass and bone density with age, shifts that can increase the risk of malnutrition and frailty in the "oldest old."
As people enter their 80s and 90s, the nutritional priority often shifts from preventing long-term chronic diseases to maintaining day-to-day physical function, experts say.
HOW MUCH RED MEAT IS TOO MUCH? EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON FOOD PYRAMID UPDATES
"The headline ‘vegetarians over 80 less likely to reach 100’ sounds surprising, because it contrasts with decades of data linking plant‑forward diets to lower chronic disease risk earlier in life," Erin Palinski-Wade, a New Jersey-based registered dietitian, told Fox News Digital.
"However, once you see that this research is limited to adults over the age of 80 who are also underweight — and that this link disappears with the consumption of eggs, dairy and fish — the results are less surprising."
In those over 80, restricting animal proteins may be less likely to promote longevity, according to Palinski-Wade, who was not involved in the study.
Eliminating all animal protein — particularly in a population that may already experience diminished hunger cues — can make it more difficult to meet adequate protein needs, potentially increasing the risk of nutrient deficiencies, the nutritionist said.
ALZHEIMER'S SYMPTOMS COULD BE PREDICTED YEARS IN ADVANCE THROUGH ONE SIMPLE TEST
In addition to a higher tendency to be underweight, older populations also face a greater risk of bone fractures due to lower calcium and protein intake.
The lower rate of vegetarians reaching 100 was only observed in participants identified as underweight, the researchers noted. No such association was found in people who maintained a healthy weight.

Because being underweight is already linked to greater frailty and mortality risk, the researchers noted that body weight may partly explain the findings, making it difficult to determine whether diet itself played a direct role.
Additionally, the shortened lifespans were not found in people who continued to eat non-meat animal products, such as fish, dairy and eggs.
Older adults with these more flexible diets were just as likely to live to 100 as those eating meat, as these foods may provide the nutrients necessary for maintaining muscle and bone health, the researchers noted.
"This is an observational study, so it can only show associations, and does not prove that avoiding meat directly reduces the odds of reaching 100," Palinski-Wade added.

The researchers suggested that including small amounts of animal-sourced foods could help older seniors maintain essential nutrients and avoid the muscle loss often seen in those who stick strictly to plants.
Palinski-Wade offered some guidance for those looking to optimize nutrition later in life.
"For adults in their 80s and beyond, especially anyone losing weight or muscle, the priority should be maintaining a healthy weight and meeting protein and micronutrient needs — even if that means adding or increasing fish, eggs, dairy or well‑planned, fortified plant proteins and supplements."
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Strict vegan or very low‑protein patterns at that age should be carefully monitored by a dietitian or clinician, with attention to B12, vitamin D, calcium and total protein, according to Palinski-Wade.
"Younger and healthier adults can still confidently use plant‑forward or vegetarian patterns to lower long‑term chronic disease risk," she added.
'The right thing': Paxton, Cornyn trade blows in Texas primary but unite for Trump's Iran strikes
WACO, TEXAS — Two of this primary season’s fiercest rivals have one thing in common: unflinching support for President Donald Trump’s decision to strike Iran.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, are both leaning into their relationship with Trump and their record of support over the years as they vie for the Republican nomination in Texas’ contentious Senate primary. While it's a crowded primary, including Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, all eyes are on Paxton and Cornyn.
And as they push for Trump’s coveted endorsement in the final stretch of their intense campaign, their support of the president has remained unwavering.
BIPARTISAN REVOLT TARGETS TRUMP'S WAR POWERS AFTER MASSIVE IRAN STRIKES
Paxton told Fox News Digital outside his final campaign event ahead of the March 3 primary that he believed Trump "did the right thing" with Operation Epic Fury. When asked what voters were saying, he said, "No one wants foreign wars."
"But the reality is, when you've got a country that's trying to build nuclear weapons, that is willing to use them, and that has demonstrated terrorist activity for decades, 40 or 50 years, you’ve got to deal with that, or eventually it comes to you," Paxton said.
Cornyn had a front-row view of Trump’s decision.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan "Raizin" Caine said Tuesday during a press conference at the Pentagon that Trump gave the go-ahead to launch Operation Epic Fury while en route to Corpus Christi, Texas, to promote his energy agenda.
1 IN 4 AMERICANS BACK TRUMP’S IRAN STRIKES, MOST SAY HE’S TOO QUICK TO USE FORCE: POLL
Cornyn and others from the Texas delegation were on Air Force One when Trump gave the order. When asked by Fox News Digital whether he was aware of the plan while traveling with the president, Cornyn said Trump was "a very cool customer."
"He asked us whether we supported a strike on Iran," Cornyn recalled. "The members of Congress who were there in the cabin of Air Force One all raised our hands and said we did support that, recognizing the gravity of the decision and that only the president, as commander in chief, could make it."
In Washington, D.C., lawmakers are grappling with the decision, with members of both parties calling for a vote to limit Trump’s war powers in the region. Both Paxton and Cornyn said they are open to debate on the matter.
Cornyn argued it comes down to a simple choice.
"I want to know who's standing on the side of American peace and security, and who's standing on the side of a nuclear-armed Iran," Cornyn said. "I think that's the choice."
How long the country remains involved in the operation remains an open question. Trump said in a video address that the U.S. would continue operations "until all of our objectives are achieved," but later suggested it could take "four weeks or less."
Some Senate Democrats, including Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., argued the strike was "the same dangerous and foolish decision" former President George W. Bush, a fellow Texan, made more than two decades ago in the Middle East.
"I think the president is doing his best to get in and out. Bush was into nation-building, a very different approach to things. I do not think that's Trump's idea here or his endeavor," Paxton said. "I'm very confident that he's going to do whatever he can to take them out, and he's encouraging the people in Iran to take their country back."
"He's not encouraging us to move in and help them do that," Paxton added. "We're just taking out the bad guys, and then it's up to them to build their country in a way that they see fit."
REP RO KHANNA: Congress must reclaim war powers from an out-of-control Trump over Iran
As a principled opponent of military adventurism since America’s 2003 invasion of Iraq, I was devastated this weekend when we learned that once again, American servicemembers will be coming home in body bags. Trump announced, "There will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is."
No. That’s not the way it is. That must not be the way it is. As Trump now refuses to rule out sending ground troops to Iran, I believe we must do everything in our power to stop this horrific war of choice before more Americans are killed. That is why this week, I am forcing a vote in the House of Representatives on a bipartisan resolution with my Republican colleague, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky, to end this illegal and unconstitutional conflict. These families are in my thoughts and prayers. But we also owe our fallen soldiers’ families and every military family with sons and daughters still in harm’s way a debate and vote in Congress.
The framers of our Constitution knew that any president would have incentives to start unnecessary, costly and destabilizing wars. As James Madison wrote, "War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement." That’s why they entrusted the authority over war and peace "fully and exclusively" to the people’s representatives in Congress — not the president.
FROM MISSILES TO MINERALS: THE STRATEGIC MEANING BEHIND THE IRAN STRIKE
Trump once seemed to understand this. In his 2024 election night victory speech, Trump promised, "I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars." In 2016, he channeled Republicans’ resentments with the Iraq War, saying that conflict "started ISIS, it started Libya, it started Syria," and its architects "lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none. And they knew there were none."
Ten years later, the administration is promoting a new set of lies, including the false claim that U.S.-Israeli airstrikes were actually preemptive, against imminent threats from Iran, even as a peaceful diplomatic solution appeared to be within reach.
Let’s be clear: Just 1 in 4 Americans support this war with Iran. This country does not want to see more dead Americans. Americans don’t want higher gas prices, which will spike at the pump because of this stupid conflict. They don’t want higher inflation. They don’t want us to waste tens of billions of dollars on this war, all while millions of Americans lose their healthcare. They don’t want to throw the Middle East into more chaos and unpredictable violence while well-connected Pentagon contractors enrich themselves. Americans want Washington to focus on jobs, childcare, infrastructure, schools and healthcare at home.
MIKE DAVIS: WHY TRUMP'S IRAN STRIKE WAS NECESSARY AND LAWFUL
Yet the president who warned in 2023 of those who "want to squander all of America's strength, blood and treasure, chasing monsters and phantoms overseas while keeping us distracted from the havoc they're creating here at home" is plunging this country into a reckless war with barely an explanation for why.
I believe no one individual should decide whether to put American sons’ and daughters’ lives on the line for a war of choice. Every member of Congress, collectively representing 340 million Americans, must participate in this solemn debate. And each of us must be held accountable for the consequences.
This isn’t a partisan issue. I am informed by Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, who argued that "every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." I am forcing this vote this week on behalf of millions of mothers and fathers. If enough like-minded Democrats and Republicans join together against the permanent-war party and the military industrial complex, the House can pass this resolution and send a powerful and unmistakable directive to the Executive Branch: remove U.S. forces from this ill-conceived and unconstitutional war.

After all, the longer this war drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. Iran is a complex society of 90 million people — more than three times larger than Iraq in area and more than triple its population when we invaded Iraq in 2003. Top U.S. military advisers warned that with limited stocks of air defense systems, American and Israeli forces will be forced to absorb incoming fire from Iran’s missile arsenal in the coming days and weeks. Our 40,000 American troops in the region remain at risk from Iran’s retaliatory attacks.
Instead, we must assemble a global coalition that is ironclad in our shared commitment that Iran must never be allowed to have a nuclear bomb. A smart approach should have targeted sanctions and other tools to prevent the Iranian government from obtaining nuclear weapons. We can and must deal with the regime’s horrific crimes, violations of human rights and its slaughter of brave Iranian protesters. But bombs will not end Iran’s nuclear program, which Trump supposedly "obliterated" eight months ago. Nor will bombs bring regional stability or justice for the protesters. America, in John Quincy Adams’ words, should be "the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all," but should not go abroad "in search of monsters to destroy."
This week’s vote could be one of the most consequential in our nation’s history. Congress can play a critical check on this unthinking march into deeper and more reckless war. I will be urging my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote yes on House Concurrent Resolution 38. And I respectfully ask Americans across the political spectrum to engage with their lawmakers to support this measure.
After decades of wars launched by presidents of both parties, it’s time for Congress to build a new bipartisan majority: Congress must reclaim these war authorities from an out-of-control Executive Branch and use this moment of crisis to unify our country around a shared priority: No war with Iran.

American runner Jessica McClain speaks out after bizarre mishap costs her first place: 'Truly sucks'
American distance runner Jessica McClain opened up about some of the details of how she and two others were led astray during the U.S. Half Marathon Championships, ultimately costing her first place in the event.
McClain posted photos from her event on Instagram, laying out her thoughts and feelings about what occurred. McClain was leading the race with about two miles remaining.

But her race was thrown off course as she was led off the path by a media vehicle, according to Athletics Illustrated. She followed the media vehicle, a police motorcycle and a motorcycle with a camera.
"I’m going try my hardest to walk away from this weekend remembering the joy I felt in those moments where I thought I was on my way to becoming a National Champion & finally make Team USA outright," she wrote in the caption.
"This truly sucks for everyone involved. No one wants this outcome, ever. Mistakes happen & I am sure those who were leading us feel terrible about the outcome. I just hate that the athletes are ALWAYS the ones who pay the price (literally $$$)… time & time again. I hope & trust that @usatf & @atlantatrackclub can somehow make it right for the athletes who were led off course."
McClain wrote that "something needs to change & safeguards should be in place for athletes who are out there doing their absolute best on race day."
"Someone needs to care enough to do something. Anything. I love this sport so damn much & just want to help make it better for our younger pros & all of the amazing athletes to come," she added.

McClain made several posts on her Instagram Stories as well, laying out the course map. She wrote that "only some, but not all, major roads are marked," and added that they had a "detailed breakdown" of course updates and construction crossings "but no detailed street by street navigation," which made her "even more keen to follow the motorcade."
She said that running off course was a "reoccurring nightmare" for her and that she understood that a larger preview of the course, on a bus or a van, couldn’t exactly be done because of Atlanta’s busy traffic.
She theorized that U.S. Track and Field could provide different ways of previewing the course with videos or have a guided tour in the future.
U.S. Track and Field released a statement later Monday.
"USA Track & Field continues to carefully review the incident that occurred at the USATF Half Marathon Championships and resulted in the misdirection of three athletes," the organization said. "We understand this is a difficult and frustrating time for athletes. This matter is a top priority for our staff and volunteer communities. We are working to provide updates as quickly as we can as we explore options that not only align with USATF rules and policies but also provide fair outcomes for all the athletes impacted. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
McClain, Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat were all thrown off. By the time they got back onto the right course, McClain’s lead was gone.
She finished in ninth place, while Hurley and Kurgat finished in 12th and 13th respectively.
