Israel defense chief warns strikes on Iran could resume soon, signals campaign not over
Sen. Kennedy declares victory in Iran, says regime has ‘no military left’
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joins ‘Hannity’ to discuss the war in Iran, declaring the U.S. has already achieved victory in Iran by ‘gutting’ the regime’s military and nuclear infrastructure. He argues that U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is crippling the country by delivering the final blow to the economy.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Thursday that Israel may soon resume military action against Iran, signaling that despite what he described as devastating setbacks to Tehran, Israel views the broader campaign as potentially unfinished.
Speaking at a ceremony promoting the incoming Israeli Air Force commander, Katz said Iran had been pushed «years backward» in the past year but suggested Israel may soon need to act again to secure long-term strategic goals.
«Iran has suffered extremely severe blows over the past year, blows that set it back years in every field,» Katz said.
Still, Katz’s sharpest warning suggested that despite the current ceasefire, Israeli leaders do not see the confrontation with Iran as resolved.

Instead, his remarks mirror President Donald Trump’s insistence that pressure on Iran will continue until its capacity to rebuild is curtailed.
«The blockade stays until there’s a real deal,» Trump said Thursday, according to Axios, signaling that Washington intends to maintain pressure until Iran addresses U.S. demands over its nuclear program and broader security concerns.
«We support this effort and provide the necessary backing, but it is possible that soon we will be required to act again to ensure the achievement of those goals,» Katz said.
The warning came as Israel’s Defense Ministry announced a dramatic military resupply surge, with two cargo ships docking in Ashdod and Haifa and multiple transport aircraft arriving within 24 hours, carrying roughly 6,500 tons of military equipment, including thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks and combat vehicles.
Since the start of Operation Roaring Lion military campaign against Iran, Israel says more than 115,600 tons of military equipment have arrived through 403 flights and 10 maritime shipments, underscoring what Israeli officials describe as preparations for sustained or expanded conflict.

Maj. Gen. (ret.) Yaakov Amidror, former Israeli national security advisor, told Fox News Digital that Washington and Jerusalem are now seriously preparing for two possible paths: a prolonged blockade designed to economically exhaust Iran, or renewed military action.
«Israel and the United States are seriously preparing for two real options, and the decision, when it comes, could be made very quickly,» Amidror said. «One is to continue the siege, a blockade that can slowly exhaust Iran. The other is war.»
Amidror, who is currently a distinguished fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, said the extensive U.S. logistical buildup suggests Washington is preparing for either path.
«The Americans are building logistics, moving forces, and preparing very seriously,» he said. «At some point, they may feel they are so ready that leadership says, ‘We are prepared, let’s go.’»

But he emphasized that for Israel, resuming military action would likely be easier and faster.
«For Israel, it is easier,» Amidror said. «We need less logistics. We are already in the region, rebuilding strength, improving intelligence and accumulating power while Iran’s capabilities are being weakened.»
Iran’s U.N. mission declined to comment.

Trump birthright citizenship fight comes roaring back with page from Kavanaugh playbook
Jim Banks honors Lindsey Graham, slams past ‘kid gloves’ approach to Iran
Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., joins ‘Fox News Sunday’ to pay tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, calling him the most effective lawmaker of the Trump era. Banks also outlines how the administration is utilizing overwhelming military force to clear the Strait of Hormuz, contrasting Trump’s uncompromising ‘position of strength’ with the failed, soft appeasement policies of past administrations that routinely ‘played footsie’ with state sponsors of terrorism.

EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Jim Banks will introduce legislation Monday aimed at ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants and birth tourists by defining them as children of «invaders» under federal law after a Supreme Court ruling last month dealt a setback to President Donald Trump’s executive order on the issue.
Trump recently urged Senate Republicans to move faster on his legislative agenda, including ending birthright citizenship, telling them they were «not fighting hard enough,» Banks, R-Ind., recalled in a June 30 interview with Human Events.
Banks told Fox News Digital he plans to introduce the Citizenship Act as soon as the Senate opens for business Monday afternoon – crafting it with a nod to Trump-appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence in last month’s Trump v. Barbara case.
Kavanaugh, concurring in the judgment and dissenting in part, said Trump’s order conflicted with federal birthright citizenship law but suggested Congress could amend that statute to create new exceptions.

The Citizenship Act would declare that children of statutory «invaders» are not entitled to birthright citizenship under the law and codify a 2025 executive order that cites the term.
In its summary, Banks’ bill declares «any person who enters the United States without authorization or for the purpose of engaging in birth tourism is considered an invader …» and amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exclude children of such «invaders.»
Banks’ key use of «invaders» cites Trump’s executive order declaring illegal immigration across the southern border an «invasion,» while the bill notes the «Barbara» decision leaves that avenue open for Congress to crack down on.
Without touching the constitutional amendment process or attempting to overturn any court ruling, the Citizenship Act will codify Trump’s declaration of «invasion» and amend federal law to revoke birthright citizenship from children of illegal immigrants under exceptions listed in the same case the «Barbara» ruling’s majority used as its precedent.

Kavanaugh found that Trump’s order didn’t violate the Fourteenth Amendment but did conflict with a federal statute on birthright citizenship passed in the spirit of the amendment conservatives said was intended mainly for freed slaves and their children.
Bush-appointed Justice John Roberts relied on the landmark 1898 U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark case to rule against Trump in «Barbara» and «guarantee citizenship to all children born in the United States and subject to its power» – but Banks’ bill would use that same case as precedent to secure an end to birthright citizenship for progeny of illegal immigrants and birth tourists.
Then-Justice Horace Gray – an appointee of Republican President Chester Arthur – ruled in Wong Kim Ark that those exceptions include diplomats’ kids, «enemies within» and those engaged in hostile occupation of U.S. territories who are not «bound to render obedience to the sovereign [U.S. government] whose domains are being invaded.»
‘WEAPONS OF MASS REPRODUCTION’: WATCHDOG UNVEILS ACTION PLAN TO CURB BIRTH TOURISM AFTER SUPREME COURT RULING
By Roberts reaffirming Wong Kim Ark’s precedent with its exceptions, Banks’ bill would essentially use it against itself.
«The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision was an unprecedented assault on American sovereignty, and we must do whatever it takes to save our country,» Banks told Fox News Digital.
«I’m leading the Citizenship Act to reverse the effects of this consequential ruling and ensure the millions of illegal aliens that invaded our country can’t continue to exploit our immigration system.»
In U.S. v. CASA, a similar 2025 case that went against Trump, Obama-appointed Justice Sonia Sotomayor separately confirmed «children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation» do not qualify for birthright citizenship, while not taking the extra step to classify illegal immigrants as such «invaders» mentioned in the original ruling.
Banks also makes a textual Constitutional argument in his bill, writing that Article IV requires the feds to «protect each [state] against invasion» while Congress’ Article I power includes «establish[ing] a uniform rule of naturalization.»
He also cited President James Madison’s 1788 analysis that the Constitution vested Congress—not the states—with authority over naturalization through a uniform national rule.

The Citizenship Act lays out that some Mexican nationals view migration northward as a means of re-conquering territory the U.S. won during 1840s military hostilities finalized in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 that established Texas and beyond as part of the U.S.

It also points to Chinese birth tourism being encouraged directly by the CCP – which brings the birthright citizenship debate over what defines an invasion by a hostile government full circle.
Banks’ bill argues those examples demonstrate that birthright citizenship has become intertwined with broader questions of national sovereignty and foreign influence.

Orsi regularizó obras y pagó una deuda tributaria tras la polémica por sus casas: “Debo tener más cuidado”
El presidente de Uruguay, Yamandú Orsi, regularizó la situación impositiva y el registro de obras de dos casas familiares en Salinas (Canelones). El mandatario uruguayo había quedado envuelto en una nueva controversia que involucró su patrimonio personal, luego de que el programa radial Informativo Carve informara que tenía una deuda vencida y que no había regularizado algunas construcciones.
“Lo resolvimos, lo resolvimos. Por suerte lo resolvimos”, dijo el presidente Orsi el pasado jueves en una rueda de prensa, al participar de actividades oficiales en el departamento de Colonia.
“Tengo que tener más cuidado, por supuesto”, reconoció ante los periodistas. “Tenés que estar atento. Lo que pasa es que también es un tema de tener claro todo lo que tenés que hacer. Son procesos que a veces son lentos y uno a veces se deja estar”, agregó.
El presidente dijo que este tipo de controversias pueden impactar en la aprobación de su gestión (hoy fuertemente desaprobada por la ciudadanía según las encuestas), aunque señaló que lo más importante es que cumplir con las obligaciones. “Eso está pasando”, se defendió.
“Todos los uruguayos –y fundamentalmente los que tenemos responsabilidades– tenemos que presentarle bastante más atención a estas cosas”, cerró Orsi.
Tras buscar cerrar la controversia por la compra de su camioneta con descuento de USD 25.000, una investigación periodística del programa Informativo Carve concluyó que Orsi tenía una deuda del impuesto de Primaria (que se destina a programas de educación pública) y no había actualizado ante organismos del Estado obras que había realizado en su casa.
El programa radial detalló que una de las casas –adquirida en octubre de 2024– tenía una deuda vencida del Impuesto de Primaria de 5.509 pesos uruguayos (unos USD 137). La segunda propiedad, que está al lado y que pertenece a su esposa Laura Alonsopérez, tuvo obras y mejoras que no figuran actualizadas en la documentación catastral disponible en el país.
Orsi vive junto a su familia en Pine Park, un barrio de la localidad de Salinas, en el departamento de Canelones. En su predio hay dos inmuebles linderos: una vivienda comprada en 2010 y otra casa obtenida en 2024.
La propiedad debía el Impuesto de Primaria de todo el ejercicio de 2025, sumado a la primera cuota de 2026 , multas y recargos. Mientras tanto, la segunda propiedad de la familia Orsi tiene declarados 198 metros cuadrados. Pero, según consignó el programa radial en base a imágenes de Google Earth, entre 2018 y 2019 se realizaron obras en el patio de la vivienda, que podrían corresponder a una piscina, una barbacoa o un área construida.
La actualización de ese valor catastral es la base para configurar el monto de la contribución inmobiliaria, uno de los tributos que los propietarios deben pagar a los gobiernos departamentales en el país (las municipalidades). En este caso, en Canelones.
Según detalló el noticiero Subrayado de Canal 10, el mismo día que se conoció la noticia, Orsi comenzó a encaminar ambas situaciones. El mandatario encomendó a una arquitecta que revisara planos y registros oficiales para registrar las obras que se habían hecho y que no se habían informado. Los trámites se cumplieron en la misma semana. Ahora la casa quedó registrada por su valor efectivo, en base a los metros de construcción que tiene y las obras incorporadas.
Alejandro Sánchez –secretario de Presidencia (jefe de gabinete) y uno de los jerarcas más cercanos a Orsi lo defendió públicamente. Entrevistado en Radio Sarandí, el funcionario señaló: “Ahí hay más responsabilidad de su secretaría, que es la que lleva adelante muchas cosas. Imagínese que el presidente no está mirando y llevando las cuentas personales cuando tiene que dirigir un país”.
