A senior Israeli intelligence official exclusively told Fox News on Saturday, «We have more surprises coming up» for Iran following the initial wave of strikes during «Operation Rising Lion.»
The high-ranking source, speaking to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst, said Israeli intelligence projected Iran would have an arsenal of 8,000 ballistic missiles over the next two years and that this was part of the reason a decision was made to launch the operation. Right now, Israel believes Iran has about 2,000 missiles.
«We cannot end this operation knowing that we will be in the same spot two years from now,» the official said. «Everything is going as planned. Actually, better than planned.»
The official added: «We have lots of surprises. Not just the ones we already did. We have more surprises coming up.»

Forty Iranian air defense systems have been hit since the beginning of the operation, which is based on three goals — targeting Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and removing the Iranian existential threat against Israel.
During the initial strike against a meeting of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air force officials, Israeli intelligence assessed that 30 commanders were killed.
«It’s a historic achievement,» the official said.
Israel now expects more incoming Iranian missiles in the days ahead that will cause casualties and destruction.

However, the bulk of the conflict with Iran could largely be over in a matter of days.
«I think we can finish it in days… It’s a good thing that we have the U.S. by our side,» the official said.
The official also told Fox News that the U.S. is «fully coordinated» with Israel, yet declined to go into specifics.

Dems ‘deliberately obfuscating’ truth about ‘big, beautiful bill’ with this claim: Watchdog

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
After House Republicans passed reconciliation language banning taxpayer funds from paying for sex change treatments, Democrats began using language to drum up opposition that conservative watchdog group the American Principles Project says is meant «to confuse people and make it sound like we’re trying to ban normal healthcare, medically necessary healthcare.»
The House-passed version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions that prohibit federal Medicaid and Affordable Care Act funding from being spent on «gender transition procedures for any age» in all 50 states.
In response, Democrats and left-wing groups have begun claiming the GOP’s spending package seeks to eliminate «medically-necessary care.»
However, according to APP President Terry Schilling, «it’s a lie» and an effort to combat the prevailing notion among Americans that taxpayer funds should not be paying for transgender procedures.
‘RIGHT DOWN THE LINE’: MEDICAID REFORM IN ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ DIVIDES LAWMAKERS BY PARTY
«They’re deliberately obfuscating here, and it’s because they don’t have any good arguments,» Schilling told Fox News Digital. «We shouldn’t be paying for any cosmetic sex change procedures with our tax dollars, and that’s what we’re cutting here.
«But they’re introducing and now ramping up these highly weaponized and high-powered words to confuse people and make it sound like we’re trying to ban normal healthcare, medically necessary healthcare.»

After Republicans in the House of Representatives passed their version of the GOP spending package last month, the Congressional Equality Caucus complained that «Congress should be working to make healthcare more affordable – not banning coverage of medically necessary care.»
«House Republicans changed a previous anti-trans provision so it now cuts off federal Medicaid and Affordable Care Act funding for medically-necessary care for ALL transgender people — no matter their age,» a press release from the pro-trans Human Rights Campaign said after the House passed its spending bill.

According to APP’s Schilling, arguments that Republicans are taking away «medically necessary» healthcare from anyone are «just not true.»
To make his point, APP’s Schilling pointed to one of the left’s frequent sources for transgender medical recommendations, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). Schilling pointed out that WPATH’s guidelines and standards explicitly state there is no «one-size-fits-all approach» to treating individuals with gender dysphoria.
«These are not medically necessary [treatments]. It’s a lie. These are cosmetic,» Schilling argued. «If you look at WPATH, even according to their own standards, transgender-identifying people don’t actually have to medically transition. They say there’s no one size fits all. Well, I’m sorry, but medically necessary means you need it in order to survive. You need it for your health. And they’re saying in their own writings that it’s not medically necessary, that it’s not a one-size-fits-all.»
Schilling added that they’re «arguing out of both sides of their mouth.»
«We’re calling out the transgender industry, and we’re trying to stop them from confusing even more people as we pass a very, very good and important bill,» he said.
FIRST-KNOWN PUBERTY BLOCKER PATIENT SAYS ‘INSULTING’ YOUTH GENDER MOVEMENT MAKES MOCKERY OF TRUE DYSPHORIA
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Human Rights Campaign argued «gender-affirming care» is considered «best practice» and «evidence-based» by every major medical association in the country, noting that studies have shown it significantly improves mental health outcomes for transgender youth.
«Healthcare decisions should be made by patients, families, and doctors — not the American Principles Project,» HRC said.

Schilling said he has run numerous polls and focus groups about whether Americans agree with taxpayer funds supporting individuals’ gender transitions, and he told Fox News Digital that the overwhelming sentiment from people across the political spectrum is that they should not.

«Here’s where Americans are at,» Schilling said. «They want to ban the procedures for anyone under 18. And, anyone over 18, they want you to pay for it yourself. That’s where they’re at, and that’s where [APP is] at, and that’s where Donald Trump is at. That’s where Republicans in the House and Senate are at.»

Israel lanzó ataques contra las instalaciones nucleares del régimen iraní en Isfahán

EJÉRCITO DE ISRAEL)
El Ejército de Israel aseguró este domingo haber atacado una instalación nuclear iraní en Isfahán, en el centro del país, en el marco de la ofensiva en curso contra objetivos estratégicos de la República Islámica. La operación fue confirmada por el portavoz militar israelí, coronel Avichai Adraee, quien afirmó que las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) atacaron “con fuerza un centro estratégico importante”.
El ataque se produjo después de que el Organismo Internacional de la Energía Atómica (OIEA) verificara daños en cuatro edificios críticos en Isfahán, entre ellos una instalación de conversión de uranio y una planta de fabricación de placas de combustible. El organismo, que depende de Naciones Unidas, informó sobre las afectaciones el sábado por la noche tras inspecciones de urgencia.
Según el portavoz de las FDI, los ataques alcanzaron también “laboratorios e instalaciones de contención” en la zona, aunque no se precisó el momento exacto en que ocurrieron los bombardeos.
Adraee advirtió que Israel continuará atacando las capacidades nucleares iraníes “para eliminar la amenaza que representan”. Se trata del golpe más directo contra infraestructura nuclear iraní desde el inicio de la actual escalada, y marca un punto de inflexión en el conflicto regional.

La ciudad de Isfahán alberga una de las principales infraestructuras del programa nuclear iraní, incluida la planta de conversión de uranio, que actúa como parte fundamental del ciclo de producción de combustible para las centrifugadoras. El OIEA, que ha tenido inspectores en Irán desde hace décadas, expresó su preocupación por la integridad física del sitio y advirtió sobre el potencial riesgo de diseminación nuclear en caso de nuevos ataques.
Hasta el momento, la agencia no ha informado sobre la liberación de material radiactivo como consecuencia del bombardeo. No obstante, fuentes diplomáticas occidentales en Viena señalaron que los técnicos del organismo siguen trabajando para evaluar el alcance total de los daños.
El bombardeo marca un nuevo y delicado episodio en el conflicto entre Israel e Irán, que en los últimos días ha escalado de manera sostenida. A diferencia de ataques anteriores centrados en blancos militares o logísticos, este golpe tiene un carácter abiertamente nuclear, con lo que se cruza una línea que hasta ahora muchos actores internacionales consideraban de alto riesgo.
Desde el viernes, Israel ha intensificado su campaña militar como parte de la operación “Rising Lion”, en respuesta al creciente número de ataques con cohetes y drones lanzados desde Irán y sus aliados regionales.
Según el balance más reciente publicado por las FDI este domingo a las 11:15, se han registrado más de 200 lanzamientos de cohetes en los últimos días. En total, 22 misiles impactaron directamente en suelo israelí, provocando 13 muertes —incluidos tres menores— y al menos 380 heridos, de los cuales nueve permanecen en estado grave.
Por su parte, el régimen iraní ha prometido responder. El ministro de Exteriores, Abás Araqchí, declaró que Teherán continuará atacando territorio israelí mientras persistan las agresiones. “Si se detiene la agresión israelí, nosotros también pararemos”, dijo en una reunión con embajadores extranjeros celebrada en la capital iraní, según reportó el diario Tehran Times.

La ofensiva israelí ya ha causado más de 100 muertos en Irán, entre ellos altos mandos militares y científicos vinculados al programa nuclear. El viernes, medios estatales confirmaron la muerte del jefe del Estado Mayor de las Fuerzas Armadas de Irán, general Mohamad Hosein Baqerí, así como del comandante en jefe de la Guardia Revolucionaria, general Hossein Salamí, y del general Gholam Ali Rashid, responsable de la base aérea Khatam ol-Anbiya. También fueron asesinados los científicos Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi y Fereydoun Abbasi, vinculados al enriquecimiento de uranio.
