Iran has — for years — been developing drone technology to share with adversaries of the United States and Israel. And now, Iran’s military is using them for attacks in Israel and countries hosting American troops. The first American deaths in the U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran were in a one-way drone attack in Kuwait. The Russia-Ukraine conflict is considered to be the first real drone war, with both sides using them for attacks on a large scale. Their use in military strikes dates back about 20 years.

Both President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth expressing disappointment that some traditional U.S. allies are pushing back on the use of force against Iran while Washington presses forward with its campaign against the terror state.

Spain refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, and Turkey has also criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Victoria Coates, former deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, Vice President of the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy at The Heritage Foundation, and author of 'The Battle for the Jewish State: How Israel―and America―Can Win,' who says the lack of support by longtime allies is surprising, and it could have a large effect on the balance power in the world.

As 'Operation: Epic Fury' rolls on with great speed and success against the IRGC, the future Iran could be ruled by a group of factions that haven't agreed until recently. In a historic and unprecedented development, a broad cross-section of the Iranian opposition, including monarchists, liberals, and ethnic minority representatives, has formally united under one umbrella: the Iran Freedom Congress (IFC).

Opening statements are expected to start early next week in a Los Angeles courtroom for what is being called a landmark social media trial. Meta and Google are being sued by a 19-year-old plaintiff, known as K.G.M., who alleges that Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others are intentionally designed to be addictive.
