Summary

It is the third day of strikes in the Middle East today, part of the U.S.-Israel led Operation 'Epic Fury' that started over the weekend against Iran. Iran and its proxies have been returning fire, targeting Israel and other nations in the region with missile strikes targeting oil infrastructure. President Trump has said the IRGC no longer has a headquarters, nearly fifty of their military leaders have been killed, nine Iranian military vessels have been sunk, and he is also mourning three American service members killed and five wounded adding 'there will likely be more before it ends.” FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Amichai Chikli, the Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism in the Government and former IDF Combat Officer, who says plans to take out Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have been in the works for years.
