Satellite images may have tipped off Iran before US base attack, top Republican warns
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
FIRST ON FOX: Sensitive U.S. military positions in the Middle East may have been exposed through commercial satellite imagery ahead of an Iranian strike that wounded American troops, House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar warned in a new letter raising national security concerns.
In the letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, Moolenaar said Airbus satellite imagery may have been the original source of images later published by a China-based company, MizarVision, which released high-resolution, annotated views of U.S. military aircraft at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
Moolenaar pointed to a sequence in which the firm publicly identified U.S. aircraft at the base shortly before Iran launched a March 27 missile and drone strike on the installation.
The attack wounded at least 12 U.S. service members — two critically — and damaged multiple high-value aircraft, including KC-135 refueling tankers and an E-3G Sentry airborne warning and control system aircraft.

Moolenaar said the timing and level of detail in the imagery raise questions about whether publicly available satellite data could be used by adversaries to identify and target U.S. military assets, warning that such images risk becoming «targeting data for enemy forces.»
While commercial satellite imagery is widely available and often used for research and transparency, the letter warns that near-real-time, high-resolution images of active operations could provide adversaries with actionable intelligence.
Moolenaar urged War Secretary Pete Hegseth to press Airbus to restrict the release of such imagery, noting that other companies, including Planet Labs, have voluntarily withheld images of the region at the request of the U.S. government.
The push highlights a broader debate over whether limiting access to commercial satellite imagery during wartime is necessary to protect U.S. troops or risks restricting open-source intelligence.
A technical analysis conducted with a satellite systems expert found Airbus satellites were the «most plausible» source of the imagery, according to the letter, identifying multiple windows in which they were positioned to capture images of the base.
The letter also cites a «high likelihood» that Airbus imagery was made available prior to the conflict, though it does not establish how the images were obtained or whether Airbus provided them directly.

The letter also cites a satellite imagery expert who said the images were unlikely to have originated from Chinese satellites given their known capabilities, further narrowing the pool of potential providers.
Commercial satellite imagery often is distributed through complex global licensing networks, meaning images captured by one company can pass through multiple intermediaries before being accessed or published by third parties.
Moolenaar also pointed to Airbus’ business ties in China, including a joint venture with entities linked to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, raising concerns about how satellite imagery could flow through networks connected to Beijing.
The concerns come amid broader scrutiny from the committee over Airbus’ ties to China.
In a December 2025 letter, Moolenaar warned that Airbus’ work with Chinese firms linked to military development could risk advancing Beijing’s aerospace capabilities and said the French government had limited the committee’s ability to obtain information about Airbus’ operations.

The episode highlights the expanding role of open-source intelligence in modern warfare, where commercially available satellite imagery can offer near real-time insight into military operations and, in some cases, expose sensitive positions during active conflicts.
At the same time, such imagery has become a key tool for journalists, researchers and governments, often used to track conflicts and verify military activity—raising questions about how to balance transparency with security during wartime.
Airbus and the Pentagon could not immediately be reached for comment.

Eduardo Lamazón murió este 4 de mayo a los 69 años, TV Azteca se encargó de confirmar el fallecimiento, posteriormente en las cuentas oficiales del cronista publicaron el mensaje póstumo que dejó el narrador a sus fans y amigos. Sin duda, la voz de Lamazón marcó a toda una generación que escuchó sus crónicas, pero, algo que lo caracterizó fue “la tarjeta de Don Lama”.
La voz de Eduardo Lamazón acompañó diferentes peleas en el boxeo mundial, no solo cuando compitieron púgiles mexicanos, sino también con las grandes figuras del boxeo, Lamazón se encargó de analizar y dar las tarjetas que ve desde su perspectiva. Don Lama, Lama, Lamita fue la frase que sonó en las transmisiones.
El origen de su apodo de Don Lama no surgió dentro del gremio boxístico ya que salió de un personaje que narra futbol, se trató de Christian Martinoli. Fue el propio Eduardo Lamazón que reveló cómo el Deus influyó para que se le “bautizara” de tal forma.
En una entrevista con Erik Terrible Morales para su podcast Un Round Más, el analista de boxeo contó cómo surgió la idea de que se le llame Don Lama. A pesar de que Carlos Aguilar fue uno de los precursores al llamarle Lama Lamita, el otro sobrenombre se lo puso Martinoli.
De acuerdo con el testimonio de Eduardo Lamazón, en un programa en el que participaron juntos, el fanático del Toluca lo nombró como Don Lama y sugirió que el apodo se quedara para próximas emisiones deportivas. A pesar de que Martinoli se dedica exclusivamente a cubrir fútbol, cruzó camino con el experimentado analista de box y se encargó de bautizarlo como Don Lama, nombre que perdurará en la memoria de los fanáticos.
“Don Lama me puso Martinoli. Martinoli en un programa que estábamos compartiendo, en una entrevista, de algún modo dijo Don Lama y dijo ‘tomen nota, que se quede don Lama, así le vamos a decir’”, narró Lamazón.
A partir de ese momento, el resto de los comentaristas de boxeo adoptaron tal apodo para referirse al Lama del boxeo. Según compartió Eduardo Lamazón, el Zar del boxeo completó el seudónimo “Y después lo de Lama, Lama, Lamita para dar la tarjeta fue Carlos Aguilar”, agregó el analista de box.
A partir de ese momento en todas las transmisiones deportivas de Box Azteca el público reconoció el apodo y se conservó. Por ello el comentarista confesó que sí le gustó la forma en la que Martinoli y Carlos Aguilar lo nombraron ya que reconoció que el sobrenombre ha sido bien recibido por la afición.
“Sí me gusto, sobre todo porque ha funcionado bien, la gente lo ha recibido bien. No ha habido burlas ni nada por el estilo, sino ha habido anécdotas”, agregó.
Finalmente, en una de las anécdotas que compartió sobre su apodo, recordó la peculiar forma en la que fue reconocido por un chofer de tráiler, pero lo llamó de forma diferente.
“En una ocasión iba yo caminando en la calle y frenó un camión de carga, feo frenó, me dice ‘oiga, ¡usted es el Dalay Lama!’, sí, sí, le dije”.
Eduardo Lamazón solo se ausentó solo en una ocasión de las narraciones de TV Azteca, la cual fue en octubre de 2021 por problemas de salud. En 2025 recibió un homenaje en vida y se alejó de las coberturas.
Christian Martinoli es uno de los narradores más emblemáticos de Azteca Deportes y parte de su estilo narrativo se ha caracterizado por sus emblemáticas frases al momento de cubrir un juego. Pero también ha sobresalido gracias a los apodos que le ha puesto a sus compañeros de micrófonos.
Uno de los primeros sobrenombres que otorgó fue a Luis García al llamarlo Doctor García. A pesar de que el ex futbolista no tiene ninguna relación con la medicina, Martinoli lo nombró así. Otro apodo se lo dio a Jorge Campos pues en lugar de llamarlo Brody le puso el Inmortal por su legado en el fútbol.
Finalmente a Zague, después de una polémica filtración, Martinoli sugirió la frase de impresionanti cada que Luis Roberto Alves daba su análisis.

Florida GOP candidate reveals why ‘amazing’ fundraising haul and key Trump moves suggest midterm ‘optimism’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November.
Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate.
As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is «very pleased» with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors
«We’re very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation,» Singer said. «I think it’s going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They’re upset with the progress of Congress.»
GOP LAWMAKER RALLIES AROUND TRUMP’S TAX-CUT CAMPAIGN AS COMPETITIVE 2026 HOUSE RACE LOOMS: ‘BIG ISSUE’

With most pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold a razor-thin majority in the House and tight majority in the Senate along with historical headwinds, Singer says he sees «great reason for optimism» as he campaigns in his race.
«We have a strong economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict,» Singer explained. «Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation.»
VOTERS SAY REPUBLICANS OUTDO DEMOCRATS ON THESE KEY ISSUES: FOX NEWS POLL
Singer continued, «President Trump and the administration have done so much to bring prices down across the board, and cutting regulations will continue to do that. The biggest tax cut in American history is reaching American taxpayers right now, with huge refunds going to individuals and the average refund for 12 million small businesses of $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.»
Singer told Fox News Digital the GOP is now the «party of the middle» class thanks to tax-cutting policies for tips and overtime, and said he believes those «real benefits» will continue to take effect over the next year.

«I think people are going to be more optimistic,» Singer said. «If you look at so many objective indicators and not the panic that some media outlets put out there, things are great and when you interview voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would have us buy into comments about personality, it really affects what we’re doing on paychecks and what we are doing on the border.»
Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controlling margins in nearly a century, with Democrats widely believed to be holding an edge, especially given the party in power historically sees losses in midterm elections.
Aggressive redistricting by both parties in states across the country has complicated the situation even further.
Democrats have been hammering President Trump and the Republican Party on high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.
«Florida Republicans knew they couldn’t win on their cost-raising, billionaire-first, wildly unpopular agenda that’s crushing working families and small businesses, which is why they’re desperate to gerrymander the maps and rig the midterms,» DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said. «Any Republican who claims the GOP’s price-spiking policies are popular only proves the fact they have no idea what voters are feeling right now.»

A car plowed into a pedestrian zone in Leipzig, Germany, on Monday, killing two people and leaving several others seriously injured, officials said.
Reuters reported that police detained the driver, identified as a 33-year-old German man. Officials said there was no ongoing threat to the public as investigators work to determine what led to the incident.
Leipzig Mayor Burkhard Jung said the city was «mourning two deaths» and at least three people were seriously hurt, calling it a «horrific attack.»

«It’s impossible to find the right words for this horrific attack,» he added.
Germany, like several other European countries, has seen a string of car-ramming and stabbing attacks in recent years. Some have been tied to political or religious motives, while others have involved suspects with mental health issues.
Saxony’s prime minister, Michael Kretschmer, said the suspect in Monday’s incident may have been dealing with mental health issues. Officials said he surrendered without resistance, according to local outlet Leipziger Volkszeitung.
