Iran’s president accused President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and European leaders Saturday of provoking unrest and trying to «tear this country apart,» a report said.
Masoud Pezeshkian told state television that Trump, Netanyahu and European leaders «rode on our problems, provoked, and were seeking — and still seek — to fragment society,» according to Reuters.
«They brought them into the streets and wanted, as they said, to tear this country apart, to sow conflict and hatred among the people and create division,» Pezeshkian reportedly added about the anti-government protests and deadly crackdown that recently swept through Iran. «Everyone knows that the issue was not just a social protest.»
The White House did not immediately respond Saturday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency recently reported that the violence in Iran has killed at least 6,479 people in recent weeks, with many more feared dead. Its count included at least 6,092 protesters, 214 government-affiliated forces, 118 children and 55 civilians who were not demonstrating. More than 47,200 have been arrested, it added.
As of Jan. 21, Iran’s government put the death toll at a far lower 3,117, saying 2,427 were civilians and security forces and labeling the rest «terrorists.»
Pezeshkian’s comments come after Trump said Friday that the United States has directly communicated expectations to Iran as pressure mounts for Tehran to accept a nuclear deal.

Asked whether Iran faces a deadline to make a deal, Trump suggested in the Oval Office on Friday the timeline had been conveyed privately.
«Only they know for sure,» he said when pressed about whether the message had been delivered directly to Iranian leaders.

Schumer gambit fails as DHS shutdown hits 36 days and airport lines grow

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senate Republicans blocked an attempt by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to only pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers as the Homeland Security shutdown drags on.
Despite being in the minority and not controlling the Senate floor, Schumer used an arcane tactic to force a procedural vote to allow the Senate to get onto the bill in Democrats’ move to shift the narrative of the ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown.
«It is unacceptable for workers and travelers and entire airports to get taken hostage in political games,» Schumer said on the Senate floor. «But that’s what the Republicans are doing. It is unacceptable to say we will only pay TSA workers if it is attached to a bill that funds ICE with no reforms, but that’s what the Republicans have been doing.»

The shutdown entered its 36th day on Saturday as the ongoing partial closure hurtles toward matching the record-breaking full government shutdown from last year. Schumer’s failed gambit follows increasingly long wait times at airports as thousands of TSA agents go without pay.
Senate Democrats have dug in deep in their demands for stringent reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and have so far refused to reopen the agency or temporarily extend funding to end the closure until they get what they want.
Senate Republicans and the White House made a new compromise offer to Democrats on Friday night after an open letter from the administration on several reforms to immigration operations was revealed earlier this week. The letter spurred two back-to-back meetings on Capitol Hill with Republicans, Democrats and administration officials.

Whether they accept that offer or counter remains in the air for now. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., who was in the meeting, said that she hoped there would be another soon.
«That will be up to them, but I hope so,» Britt said.
Still, Republicans tried and failed for a fifth time to fully reopen the agency on Friday. In the background, there have been several attempts by Senate Democrats to move forward with standalone funding bills — like Schumer’s gambit — to open parts of DHS, save for immigration enforcement.

Time is also running out for lawmakers to find middle ground on reopening the agency, given that they are set to leave Washington, D.C., for a two-week break at the end of next week.
At a press conference earlier Saturday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital that it’d be «very, very hard to explain if we leave town this next week without having funded the Department of Homeland Security.»

«At some point the Democrats are going to be held accountable for this,» Thune said.
«I know they think it’s, as has been described by one of their leaders, ‘very serene, very serene’ with their position,» he continued. «Well, I’m telling you something, the people who are sitting in those lines at the airports right now don’t see it as very serene. This needs to be resolved.»

Se extiende la alerta por inundaciones repentinas en Hawái por la amenaza de la presa Wahiawa

El archipiélago de Hawái afronta una emergencia por inundaciones en la isla de Oahu, con miles de evacuados y amenaza de colapso en el embalse Wahiawa, tras lluvias extremas que se prolongaron desde el viernes 20 de marzo. La situación afecta a residentes de áreas como Haleiwa y Waialua, donde el sistema de emergencia estatal desplegó operativos de rescate y emitió órdenes de evacuación preventiva, según informó la agencia de noticias Reuters.
La Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de Honolulu (OEM) informó sobre rescates masivos, con más de 230 personas puestas a salvo por equipos del cuerpo de bomberos, la Guardia Nacional y personal militar. El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de EE.UU. (NWS) mantiene el aviso de precipitaciones intensas y advierte de la posibilidad de desbordes y deslizamientos en varias islas. El gobernador Josh Green y el director Rick Blangiardi confirmaron el despliegue de recursos estatales y federales, y subrayaron que no se han registrado víctimas fatales ni desaparecidos hasta el momento.
El embalse Wahiawa, construido hace más de un siglo, ha sido clasificado como de “alto riesgo” por el U.S. Army Corps of Engineers y el Departamento de Tierras y Recursos Naturales de Hawái (DLNR), debido a fallas estructurales y falta de adecuación a normas modernas de seguridad. Investigaciones de la publicación periodística Civil Beat destacan que el embalse enfrenta sanciones estatales previas por incumplimientos en el mantenimiento y la gestión de riesgos.
Las precipitaciones registradas desde el viernes 20 de marzo superaron los niveles habituales en la isla de Oahu, con acumulados de hasta 180 milímetros (7 pulgadas), de acuerdo con el NWS. El embalse Wahiawa alcanzó una altura de agua de 25,9 metros (85 pies), cerca del límite estructural de 26,8 metros (88 pies), generando el desborde del aliviadero y la evacuación forzada de comunidades aguas abajo. El NWS advirtió sobre la posibilidad de “inundaciones catastróficas” y potencial colapso del embalse, lo que implicó la activación de protocolos de emergencia coordinados por la OEM y la Guardia Nacional.
La alarma incluyó a más de 4.000 residentes de zonas como Waialua y Haleiwa, quienes debieron abandonar sus viviendas y trasladarse a refugios temporales habilitados por la Cruz Roja Estadounidense y el gobierno local. El director Rick Blangiardi afirmó en rueda de prensa: “El riesgo para la vida es real, por lo que pedimos a la población que siga las indicaciones oficiales y no intente regresar hasta recibir autorización”, según declaraciones recogidas por la agencia de noticias Reuters.
La Oficina de Manejo de Emergencias de Honolulu informó destrucción en infraestructuras clave de Oahu, con carreteras inundadas, cortes de electricidad, daños en escuelas y la evacuación de un hospital en Maui por acumulación de agua. Las estimaciones iniciales de daños económicos superan los USD 1.000 millones, según recopilación de datos de la publicación periodística Civil Beat. El gobernador Josh Green señaló que la prioridad es la protección de la vida humana y la restauración de servicios esenciales.
El NWS advirtió que las lluvias persistentes podrían agravar el panorama durante el fin de semana, con expectativas de nuevas precipitaciones de hasta 180 milímetros y ráfagas de viento de hasta 72 km/h. El terreno saturado incrementa el riesgo de deslizamientos y caída de árboles, así como interrupción de servicios básicos en los días siguientes.

El embalse Wahiawa es una infraestructura centenaria bajo propiedad de Dole Food Company y Sustainable Hawaiʻi Inc.. Tanto el DLNR como el U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lo han clasificado como “de alto riesgo” por deficiencias estructurales y falta de adecuación a estándares modernos. En inspecciones recientes se detectaron problemas en la integridad de la presa y la carencia de planes de emergencia actualizados.
La transferencia de titularidad y la gestión del embalse han estado marcadas por resoluciones administrativas; el DLNR impuso sanciones por incumplimientos de mantenimiento y gestión de riesgos. Según la OEM en un comunicado recogido por la agencia de noticias Reuters: “El embalse no ha colapsado, pero sigue en riesgo ante la probabilidad de nuevas lluvias”. El monitoreo de los niveles de agua y la evaluación estructural del embalse continúan como tarea prioritaria para las autoridades estatales.
Los equipos de emergencia de Oahu realizaron más de 230 rescates, con operaciones que emplearon botes, helicópteros y vehículos especializados para acceder a zonas aisladas, según datos oficiales de la OEM citados por la agencia de noticias Reuters. El director Rick Blangiardi declaró a medios locales que “decenas, si no tal vez cientos de viviendas, han sido afectadas por la crecida”.
La Guardia Nacional desplegó unidades para apoyar las labores de evacuación y fortalecer los diques y estructuras críticas alrededor del embalse Wahiawa. Las fuerzas armadas, junto a la OEM y la Cruz Roja Estadounidense, mantienen habilitados refugios y centros de atención temporal para quienes debieron abandonar sus hogares.
Acciones clave de las autoridades:
- Monitoreo permanente de los niveles de agua.
- Evacuación preventiva en comunidades vulnerables.
- Refuerzo y protección de diques y estructuras críticas.
- Suspensión de actividades en dependencias públicas no esenciales.
La OEM y el NWS recomiendan evitar desplazamientos innecesarios, consultar canales oficiales y seguir todas las instrucciones de evacuación. La Cruz Roja Estadounidense habilitó líneas de asistencia y albergues temporales para los evacuados. El gobernador Josh Green destacó la importancia de priorizar la seguridad y advirtió que “la situación puede extenderse por varios días”, según cita de la agencia de noticias Reuters.
El NWS mantiene la advertencia de inundaciones para todas las islas principales, enfatizando la probabilidad de nuevas crecidas y deslizamientos, en especial en áreas de suelos saturados o con mal drenaje. Las autoridades reiteran que no se debe regresar a las zonas evacuadas hasta que se confirme oficialmente la seguridad.

El cierre de carreteras, la interrupción de servicios básicos y la evacuación de miles de personas han alterado la vida diaria en Oahu y otras islas. Se han cancelado y retrasado transportes públicos y vuelos, mientras que el acceso a servicios médicos y educativos se ha visto comprometido por la emergencia. El hospital de Maui que fue evacuado permanece bajo vigilancia, según datos de la OEM.
Las familias, trabajadores y empresas enfrentan la incertidumbre debido a la continuidad de las precipitaciones y los daños materiales. Autoridades estatales y federales coordinan esfuerzos para restablecer los servicios, aunque la valoración total de los daños podría demorar varios días, de acuerdo con Civil Beat.
La recuperación tras las inundaciones dependerá del comportamiento del clima y de la contención del peligro en el embalse Wahiawa. Las autoridades estatales prevén mantener los operativos de emergencia y las restricciones hasta descartar el riesgo de colapso de la presa o nuevos desbordes. El DLNR y el U.S. Army Corps of Engineers están abocados a la evaluación de la infraestructura y a la implementación de medidas correctivas.
El efecto inmediato se refleja en miles de personas desplazadas, viviendas dañadas y pérdida de bienes materiales. La reanudación de actividades normales en Oahu y otras islas quedará supeditada a la restauración de servicios y la estabilización de la infraestructura hídrica.

Warren warned Hegseth’s tattoo made him a potential ‘threat’ — now she backs candidate with Nazi-linked ink

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., sidestepped Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s Nazi-linked tattoo in her glowing endorsement Thursday, despite previously expressing alarm over Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos.
Warren, one of the Senate’s most liberal members who is seeking to recruit progressive candidates, endorsed Platner’s campaign in a video posted to social media Wednesday, calling him «the real deal.»
«Graham Platner has the grit to go against the grain and to fight for what is right,» Warren said. «And the people in Maine are fired up and excited for change.»
The 41-year-old oyster farmer has been widely criticized for having a chest tattoo of a skull and crossbones resembling a symbol associated with the SS. Platner has since had the tattoo removed and pleaded ignorance, saying he was unaware of the symbol’s meaning.

DEM SENATE CANDIDATE MOCKED AFTER CLAIM ABOUT DISMANTLING ICE GOES VIRAL: ‘UNMASK THESE THUGS’
When asked about Platner’s host of controversies, Warren largely brushed it off.
«Look, he has apologized for that, and he’s out there talking to the people of Maine every single day,» Warren told Huffpost on Thursday.
Warren’s remarks sharply contrasted with her scrutiny of Hegseth for his Christian tattoos. In the lead-up to Hegseth’s confirmation hearing in early 2025, Warren implied that Hegseth could be a traitor for having certain Christian symbols on his body.
The Massachusetts Democrat specifically referenced a Reuters report detailing Hegseth being removed from National Guard duty during former President Joe Biden’s inauguration by a supervisor, who appears to have made a dubious assumption that he could be an «insider threat» over his Christian tattoos.
Hegseth had volunteered for inauguration security as a member of the D.C. National Guard and had been employed by Fox News at the time. A senior National Guard member expressed concern over his tattoos of the Jerusalem Cross and the Latin phrase «Deus Vult,» which translates to «God wills it.»
Four years later, Warren used the incident to question Hegseth’s loyalty to the United States, despite his completing multiple overseas deployments and earning two Bronze Stars.
«We cannot have a Defense Secretary whose fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat,» Warren wrote in a 33-page letter to Hegseth.
Fox News Digital reached out to Warren’s office for comment.

ANTI-ICE LAW SET TO TAKE EFFECT IN MAINE AS GOVERNOR FACES INCREASED CRITICISM FOR ALLOWING IT AMID SENATE RUN
Hegseth defended his tattoos in an exchange with Sen. Kristen Gillibrand during his confirmation hearing. Gillibrand, who chairs Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, is notably backing Gov. Janet Mills, Platner’s opponent in the Senate primary.
Both Mills and Platner are vying for the Democratic nomination to unseat longtime Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.
The tattoo is spotlighted in a blistering new attack ad against Platner launched by Mills’ campaign.
The ad, which the Mills campaign says it’s spending six figures to run statewide, closes with video of Platner shirtless as the narrator in the spot says, «The closer you look, the worse it gets.»
Controversial comments Platner made over a decade ago on Reddit about rape are also included in the ad.
The Mills campaign’s spot highlights Platner’s comments while an actor — in a voice that resembles the candidate — reads the comment aloud. Among the comments is one from 2013, which Platner later deleted, saying people concerned about rape should not «get so f—ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to.»
Four women in the Mills ad responded to the comments, calling them, «a horrible thing to say,» «disgusting» and «disqualifying.»
Platner apologized for his controversial Reddit posts after they made headlines last fall soon after he launched his Senate campaign.
«For those of you who have read these things and been offended, have read these things and seen someone that you don’t recognize, I am deeply sorry,» he said in a video that went viral.

The Mills ad was launched as Platner appeared to be gaining momentum while drawing large crowds at campaign events across the state. According to recent polls, Platner holds a large lead over Mills with less than three months until Maine’s primary.
Democrats view Collins as vulnerable as she seeks a sixth Senate term in the left-leaning New England state. The race is considered a must-win contest for Democrats as they try to claw back the chamber’s majority from the GOP in this year’s midterms.
