The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) released a “Photoshopped” image of a journalist wearing military clothes after killing him in an airstrike last week, according to Fox News. Reporting on the Saturday strike, which killed three Lebanese journalists, Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst reported: Three Lebanese journalists were killed, including Ali Shuaib, who worked for the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar television network. The IDF accused Shuaib of operating as a member of Hezbollah’s Radwan forces and included a photo of him wearing a military uniform. When asked by Fox News about the source of the photo, the IDF responded, quote, “Unfortunately there isn’t really a picture of it, it was Photoshopped.” After Shuaib was killed in the Israeli strike, the IDF boasted on social media that the journalist had been “ELIMINATED” in a post which included a picture of him wearing military clothing. “ELIMINATED: For years, Ali Hassan Shaib operated as a Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist under the guise of a journalist,” claimed the IDF. “Turns out the ‘press vest’ was just a cover for terror.” ELIMINATED: For years, Ali Hassan Shaib operated as a Hezbollah Radwan Force terrorist under the guise of a journalist.

Operating under the cover of Al-Manar, Hezbollah’s own television network, he functioned as part of the organisation’s propaganda and intelligence machinery,” said Gandler. “Reporting from the front line in real-time, he did not merely document events, he shaped them. His elimination underlines a simple but often ignored reality: Within terrorist organisations, ‘media’ is not independent, it is operational.” Just last week, a CNN photojournalist was put into a chokehold by an IDF soldier after the network’s crew was detained by Israeli forces during a news report in the West Bank. “We’re journalists. What are you doing?!” shouted CNN’s Cyril Theophilos as he was wrapped in a chokehold and assaulted. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, a record 129 members of the press were killed in 2025, with “Israel responsible for 2/3 deaths.” Watch above via Fox News.The post IDF Released ‘Photoshopped’ Image of Journalist Wearing… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Tim Burchett Warns Trump Against Ground Invasion of Iran: ‘A Lot of Republican...
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) warned the Trump administration against a ground invasion of Iran over the weekend, cautioning that “a lot of Republicans” would not support such an escalation of the conflict. Asked on NewsNation Live whether regime change was likely to happen as a result of the Trump administration’s war against Iran, Burchett said on Sunday, “I firmly believe there is a chance for that, but the people of Iran are going to have to take the bull by the horns right here because we’re limited. I don’t think there’s a will for a ground conflict between America and Iran. I know a lot of Republicans don’t support that, and I know all the Democrats won’t support it.” Pressed on whether a ground invasion of Iran would be “a red line for some Republicans,” the congressman replied, “I think it is, but I don’t think we’re there yet.” “I think what we need to encourage, though, is our Middle East partners to engage if a land conflict does take place,” he concluded. “I think there’s a clear divide, though.” Fox News host Joey Jones issued a warning to his former colleague at the network, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, over a potential ground invasion of Iran on Sunday. “If you send our men and women into that country to kill our bad guys, to spill their blood because they deserve it, I’m going to have to agree with you on it. Just please do this,” Jones pleaded. “Don’t nation build, don’t win hearts and minds, don’t spread democracy.” He urged, “Spill the blood of the evil people that deserve to die without our hands tied and without a PR campaign and get the hell out of there. That’s all we have tolerance for. That’s all that will work.” Watch above via NewsNation.The post Tim Burchett Warns Trump Against Ground Invasion of Iran: ‘A Lot of Republicans Don’t Support That’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The president gave an impromptu presentation promoting the $400 million building project one day after The Times deep dive by qualified architects challenged the choices being made, just days before the plans are set for final approval by the National Capital Planning Commission on Thursday. The report comes as a lawsuit, brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, argues that Trump bypassed required approvals from Congress and federal planning bodies. A federal judge is now weighing whether to halt construction altogether. Speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, the president gave reporters details of the underground military development and trashed The Times for its report, fixating on its claim of “faux windows” as he defended his “beautiful” ballroom as “ahead of schedule and under budget.” Holding up artists’ renderings of the finished product drawn up that day, the president apologized for the impromptu presentation, adding he was busy “fighting wars and other things” as he made his case: Talking about how beautiful the ballroom is. For 150 years, they’ve wanted to build a ballroom at the White House. Other presidents have wanted it. When we have dignitaries coming like President Xi of China or anybody else, we have very small rooms. They’re not big enough to handle the kind of capacity that you need. This is the same height as the White House. It’s an incredible fitting. You see what that is, right? Nice. Here’s another view. This is coming from right opposite the Treasury Building, beautiful capital, beautiful building, and one of the — I think it will be the finest ballroom of its kind anywhere in the world. A lot of people are giving it really good reviews. Some are giving good reviews without even seeing the building, because this just came out today. These pictures we just made today, we got rid of, along, quite a while ago, the stairs on the south side. And it’s become really beautiful, but it matches and fits the White House. It’s also capable of handling the inauguration. He continued to reveal that the building would have “all bulletproof glass,” as well as “drone-proof… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- ‘Don’t Nation Build!’ Hegseth’s Former Co-Host Gives Blunt Warning on Po...Fox News host Joey Jones issued a blunt warning to President Donald Trump and his former network colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, on Sunday. On Fox News’ The Big Weekend Show, co-host Jones – a former Marine who worked with Hegseth at Fox News – warned that public “tolerance” for a protracted ground war in Iran was low, before suggesting that U.S. troops should “spill their [enemy’s] blood” and then “get the hell out of there.” Jones’ comments were made as thousands of U.S. troops, including Marines and paratroopers, were deployed to the region, with reports indicating up to 10,000 additional personnel could be positioned within striking distance of Iran. “I’m going to say this, I’m very torn on this, completely, personally torn on this because I sat beside Pete Hegseth for years on a couch on Fox & Friends when they needed me,” said Jones, who lost both legs on the battlefield. “I’ve had a lot of conversations with him before he was confirmed as Secretary of War. I know what’s in his heart and in his experience.” He continued: I’ve also watched President Trump for more than a decade now being a president who’s said “no new wars,” “no forever wars,” and backed that up – killing [Iranian General Qasem] Soleimani with a missile, taking out [Venezuelan President] Nicolas Maduro, Operation Midnight Hammer. The track record is there – ending ISIS in weeks! Alright? So the track record is there and I don’t think he’s changed. I don’t think he’s owned by [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu. I do think there are complexities to this that you’re going to get criticized over. Pivoting to a direct and blunt appeal to Trump, Hegseth, and senior military leadership, Jones then delivered a word of caution. “But I am going to say this, President Trump, Pete Hegseth, General [Dan] Caine, and the rest of the generals. If you send our men and women into that country to kill our bad guys, to spill their blood because they deserve it, I’m going to have to agree with you on it. Just please do this,” the Fox News host pleaded. “Don’t nation build, don’t win hearts and minds, don’t spread democracy.” He advised, “Spill the blood of the evil people that deserve to die without our hands tied and without a PR campaign and get the hell out of there.

(Photo Credit: Mark Schiefelbein for AP) President Donald Trump said his preference is to “take the oil” from Iran — despite whatever gripes his critics would have about it — during an interview with the Financial Times on Sunday. “To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the U.S. say: ‘why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” Trump told the outlet. The outlet noted “such a move would involve seizing Kharg Island through which most of Iran’s oil is exported.” Trump has been calling for the U.S. to take the island for years, including in 1988 when he said he would “do a number” on it. FT wrote attacking Kharg Island would be “risky and [raise] the chances of more U.S. casualties,” as well as extend how long the war goes on for. Trump did not sound too worried about it, but said he was debating what to do next. The president also acknowledged taking the island would likely require keeping troops there longer than initially anticipated. “Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options,” Trump said. “It would also mean we had to be there [in Kharg Island] for a while.” He added, “I don’t think they have any defense. We could take it very easily.” Trump’s interview comes a month after joint U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on the first day of the war. Dozens of other leaders from Iran’s theocratic regime have been eliminated since then — leading Trump to joke last week he does not want to tell reporters who he is negotiating with because he fears they will get killed next. Much has been made in recent weeks about whether or not a “regime change” has taken place. Trump told FT he believes that is the case, saying “The people we’re dealing with are a totally different group of people . . . [They] are very professional,” Trump said. His interview comes as the president deployed thousands of troops to the Middle East over the last few days, including sending 2,000 troops from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. Trump had said earlier in the week he had “very strong talks” with Iran’s leaders about a possible deal to end the war, but the administration appears to be gearing up for another round… [TheTopNews] Read More.12 hours ago
