Saudi Arabia denies US military access as tensions with Iran escalate
As President Donald Trump weighs his options on a possible military strike on Iran, a senior Gulf official told Fox News Saudi Arabia will not allow the U.S. to use its airspace or bases for such an attack.
A high-ranking government figure from a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) state told Fox News that the “U.S. hasn’t shared objectives or plans” regarding Iran with Gulf allies despite recent high-level Saudi meetings in Washington aimed at gaining clarity.
“We said this as friends, [we] want to make sure they understand our position and our assessment in general. And we want to understand the U.S. assessment with as much clarity as possible,” the senior official said. “I’d like to get full clarity, and we did not get there.”
Regarding U.S. military movements for a strike on Iran, the official said, “The plan is something other than using Saudi airspace.”
TRUMP SAYS IRAN ALREADY HAS US TERMS AS MILITARY STRIKE CLOCK TICKS
The official said the U.S. is welcome in Saudi Arabia, especially regarding Operation Inherent Resolve, the ongoing U.S.-led campaign against ISIS. Yet, the Saudi position now is “consistent” with what it was during the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran in April 2024, the official said.
“Saudi Arabia wouldn’t allow airspace to be used to target Israel, Houthis, Iran. The position is the same now. Saudi Arabia wouldn’t allow airspace to be used in a war Saudi Arabia is not a part of,” the official said.
Trump said Friday that the United States has directly communicated expectations to Iran as pressure mounts for Tehran to accept a nuclear deal, even as Iranian officials publicly signal interest in talks.
Asked whether Iran faces a deadline to make a deal, Trump suggested the timeline had been conveyed privately.
“Only they know for sure,” he said when pressed that the message had been delivered directly to Iranian leaders.
Trump also tied the growing U.S. naval presence in the region explicitly to Iran, saying American warships “have to float someplace” and “might as well float near Iran” as Washington weighs its next steps.
AS IRAN WEAKENS, QUESTIONS GROW OVER MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN’S REGIONAL AMBITIONS
Despite the president’s words that Iran wants to make a deal, the official cautioned that “Iran always wants to make a deal, but the question is what kind of deal? Is it acceptable to the U.S.?
“We don’t see it coming together at this moment,” the official said. “Everybody knows the U.S. is bringing capabilities to the region in general to deal not with whatever the plan is but whatever the ramification of the plan is.”
Regarding the success of future U.S. actions in Iran, the official said, “There is always a problem whether you make a decision or don’t. There’s a balance of … future in the Middle East. We advise the U.S. on a better outcome at the end, using all means, including diplomatic means, and advise Iranians too. … We understand that we’re all in this — the U.S., Iran and others — and we hope for better results.”
The official said that, in the Gulf allies’ assessment, the Trump administration’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear assets heavily degraded their capabilities so that they are “not in the same situation as before.”

That being said, they believe an “off ramp could be reached by Iranians doing the right thing.”

“We want a prosperous country that supports their people. That’s what we think we should all be doing. Iran has real economic potential, energy. A lot of talent in Iran and especially abroad who live in other countries. … There’s a way to get out of it, and Iran could be a very constructive actor in the region and important actor in the region. I hope that they get there because the Iranian people deserve a lot.”
Though the U.S. has not shared its objectives or plans, the source said, “I hope that outcome is for a more stable Middle East, more prosperous.”
Leftist activists storm synagogue, mock Democrat congressman over ICE vote
Left-wing activists disrupted an event at a Jewish temple in New York this week while Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi was speaking, protesting his vote in favor of a government spending bill that included increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The demonstrators, affiliated with the activist group Climate Defiance, interrupted Suozzi on Wednesday night at the temple on Long Island, unleashing a barrage of crude theatrics and profane insults, according to the New York Post.
“We confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi,” Climate Defiance posted to X. “He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive and we will not forget.”
Video of the disruption, which has amassed millions of views online, shows activists heckling the congressman with props such as adult diapers and knee pads while mocking his support for additional funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the New York Post reported.
AOC VOICES SUPPORT FOR ANTI-ICE SHUTDOWN, DECLINES TO PARTICIPATE
One demonstrator taunted Suozzi by holding up an adult diaper and saying, “I know you voted to increase ICE funding, so I wanted to get something for you. This is an adult diaper for when you pee yourself in front of Donald Trump. You’re the type of leader we need right now. Someone who soils themselves when the fascists are at our door.”
Another displayed knee pads saying, “I actually have some gifts — I have some kneepads for you — you can use these while you b— Donald Trump.”
A third individual said, “As a Jewish man, I have never felt safer than when there is a masked Gestapo in the street, so thank you, Congressman Tom Suozzi, for funding ICE.”
Comedian and activist Walter Masterson appeared to be thrown out of the temple during the disruption while attempting to read aloud the names of individuals he said had died in ICE-related incidents.
DHS PUNCHES BACK AT MOULTON FOR ‘INCITING RIOTERS’ WITH ‘GROSS’ ICE REMARKS
“Nine people were killed by ICE this month, and you’re throwing me out while I’m reading their names? How f—ing dare you!” Masterson shouted.
Days after the vote, Suozzi publicly apologized for supporting the DHS spending package, which included roughly $10 billion in additional funding for ICE, Politico reported.
The apology followed intense backlash from fellow Democrats and came after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minnesota, according to the New York Post.

“I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis,” Suozzi said in a statement. “I hear the anger from my constituents, and I take responsibility for that. I have long been critical of ICE’s unlawful behavior and I must do a better job demonstrating that.”
Suozzi joined six other Democrats in crossing party lines to help Republicans narrowly pass the DHS funding measure in a 220–207 vote, Politico reported.

NFL owner ‘deeply regrets’ association with Jeffrey Epstein following document release
New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch addressed controversy surrounding his presence in the recently released files related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.
Tisch released a statement through the Giants, claiming he never traveled to Epstein’s infamous island.
“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said.

The Department of Justice’s Friday release of more than 3 million documents related to the investigation of Epstein included email exchanges from April 2013 and June 2013 between Tisch and the convicted sex offender.
Some of the exchanges between Tisch and Epstein appear to show conversations about women.

Tisch’s family owns about 45% of the Giants. Alongside fellow co-owner John Mara, Tisch assumed control of the team in 2005 after his father had purchased a majority stake in the team in 1991.
Under Mara and Tisch’s co-ownership, the Giants won two Super Bowls and recently hired John Harbaugh as head coach.

Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan federal jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019. His death was later ruled a suicide.
He faced up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to the sex trafficking of minors.
Joe Rogan exposes Golden Globes fee after refusing to pay for nomination
Joe Rogan took aim at the Golden Globes after revealing he declined to pay a fee to be nominated for the awards show’s inaugural podcast category.
Speaking on his podcast, Rogan said organizers had asked him to formally submit his show for consideration, but that he had refused to pay the $500 application fee required to be nominated.
“A lot of people say, ‘Why wasn’t Joe Rogan nominated for the Golden Globes? Why did Amy Poehler win?’ I didn’t submit,” Rogan said.

“They asked me to submit to be nominated for the Golden Globes and you had to pay $500. And the $500 is like for paperwork or whatever. I said, ‘No,’” he added.
“The Joe Rogan Experience” has remained one of the most listened-to podcasts in the world and was eligible for the category. The show has ranked No. 1 on Spotify for several years and has also topped Apple Podcasts and YouTube rankings.
Rogan argued that audience reach matters more than industry awards, saying, “You can’t tell me I didn’t win. I’ve been No. 1 for six years in a row.”

“All of a sudden, you’re gonna have a contest in front of all these people wearing tuxedos, and you’re gonna say now I’m not No. 1?”
Comedian Amy Poehler’s podcast “Good Hang” won the award. The decision drew criticism on social media, with users noting the podcast is less than a year old while other nominees have been on the air longer.
Rogan defended her win, saying, “I’m sure it’s good. It won. I’m sure someone must love it. If it sucked, they would give it to someone else, right?”

Fishing vessel with TV show captain disappears at sea as Coast Guard finds debris
The U.S. Coast Guard is frantically searching Massachusetts waters for survivors after a commercial fishing boat with seven people on board, including a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) observer, sank Friday 25 miles off the coast of Cape Ann.
Coast Guard watchstanders received an emergency position indicating a radio beacon (EPIRB) alert at about 6:50 a.m. registered to the 72-foot commercial fishing vessel Lily Jean.
USCG crews attempted to contact the boat, and after getting no response, issued an urgent marine information broadcast (UMIB), according to officials.
USCG Northeast District launched an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew from Air Station Cape Cod and a small boat crew from Station Gloucester to search the area.

The Coast Guard cutter Thunder Bay was also diverted to assist the search.
Rescue crews found debris near the location where the EPIRB was activated, along with a body and an unoccupied life raft.
The Coast Guard said crews will continue with the search and rescue response.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said the state has offered its full support.
“I’m heartbroken over the devastating news out of Gloucester about the sinking of the Lily Jean and have offered our full support to Mayor Lundberg, Harbormaster Lucido and the Coast Guard,” Healey wrote in a statement. “I am praying for the crew, and my heart goes out to their loved ones and all Gloucester fishing families during this awful time.
“Fishermen and fishing vessels are core to the history, economy and culture of Gloucester and Cape Ann, and this tragedy is felt all across the state.”

The boat’s captain, Gus Sanfilippo, and his crew were featured in a 2012 episode of the History Channel show “Nor’Easter Men,” highlighting a fishing expedition in dangerous weather conditions, according to a report from The Associated Press.
Sanfilippo, a fifth-generation commercial fisherman, angled for haddock, lobster and flounder, according to the report.

Authorities warn public as 5 ‘violent offenders’ remain at large after jail escape
A manhunt has been launched after eight inmates — three of whom are facing murder charges — escaped Friday morning from a northeast Louisiana jail.
Louisiana State Police confirmed the men, all considered “violent offenders,” were reported missing from the Riverbend Detention Center at 1:20 a.m.
Five inmates remain unaccounted for: Destin Brogan, 22, Kelin Looney, 21, Krisean Salinas, 21, Kevin Slaughter, 25, and Koplelon Vicknair, 19.
The three inmates who were captured after the escape were identified as Hugo Molino, 27; Trenton Taplin, 29; and Savon Wheeler, 31.

Young girl topples massive 63,000-piece beer coaster tower with single pull
That’s one way to bring the house down.
A towering beer coaster structure built from 63,000 pieces collapsed in dramatic fashion after a young girl removed a single one, stunning onlookers and racking up millions of views in a viral video filmed at a shopping center in Cologne, Germany.
The massive installation was created by German artist Benjamin Klapper, who spent more than a month assembling the sculpture in a bid to break a Guinness World Record.
Video of the collapse, which shows the structure tumbling like a house of cards, quickly spread like wildfire online.
TWO RIDERS TRAPPED MORE THAN 100 FEET IN AIR AFTER TEXAS ROLLER COASTER MALFUNCTIONS
“In total, I spent about 120 hours constructing the sculpture,” Klapper, 49, told Jam Press, describing the painstaking process behind the installation, which he titled Inside.
Klapper said the structure was erected inside the Rhein-Center shopping mall and was originally intended to challenge the record for the largest drink coaster construction ever built.
Video shows the girl carefully pulling a coaster from the tower before the entire structure cascades downward in seconds, prompting audible reactions from spectators.

However, the collapse was not as it initially appeared.
Klapper told Jam Press that the tower had partially collapsed under its own weight shortly before completion, preventing him from officially qualifying for the record. As a result, he then invited visitors to interact with the remaining structure.
“Each person took a turn removing a beer mat from the structure until it fell,” Klapper said. “The winner was the daughter of one of my helpers.”
“She brought ‘Inside’ down on her first attempt by pulling out one that was lying horizontally,” he added.
The artist said the viral clip sparked a wide range of reactions online, with some viewers questioning the authenticity of the footage and others lamenting the destruction of the elaborate build.
“The footage of this roller-coaster drop amassed millions of views,” Klapper told Jam Press, noting responses that ranged from “That’s AI!” to “What a shame it didn’t work out.”
Despite the dramatic collapse, Klapper said the structural failure meant the installation never officially qualified for the Guinness World Record.
The current record is held by Sven Goebel, also from Germany, who constructed a 9-foot-6-inch tower made from 70,000 beer coasters in 2004.
Klapper, who runs the media company MuVi 3D GmbH, said the project still marked a personal milestone. He began building beer coaster structures as a child and has continued creating large-scale installations for decades.
“Gradually, the constructions became larger and larger,” he said. “I completed my first large project 33 years ago.”

He added that displaying the builds in public spaces is a key part of the appeal.
“Viewers aren’t only presented with a finished work of art, they can witness the creation process as well,” Klapper said.
Florida couple sues fertility clinic over alleged embryo mix-up after birth of non-biological child
A Florida couple is suing a fertility clinic weeks after the woman gave birth to a baby that allegedly isn’t biologically their child.
Steven Mills and Tiffany Score gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” in December, but when the couple, who are both White, realized their new daughter appeared to be “racially non-Caucasian,” they ordered genetic testing that proved she wasn’t theirs, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
The lawsuit claims the Fertility Center of Orlando somehow implanted the wrong embryo in Score’s uterus five years after the couple had their embryos frozen at the clinic.
“Of equal concern to the Plaintiffs is the obvious possibility that someone else was implanted with one or more of their embryos and is pregnant with or has been pregnant with and is presently parenting one or more of their children,” the lawsuit, filed in Orange County, Florida on Jan. 22, added.
SPERM DONOR WITH HIDDEN CANCER GENE FATHERS NEARLY 200 KIDS, FAMILIES BLINDSIDED
The lawsuit also claims that the couple has asked the clinic to no avail to help reunite the daughter Score gave birth to with her biological parents and to find out what happened to their own frozen embryos.
They also want the clinic to pay for the genetic testing of every child born whose parents had embryos implanted at the clinic in the last five years after the couple used their services.
“An intensely strong emotional bond was created on the part of Tiffany and Steven with the unborn child Tiffany carried during the nine months of her pregnancy, and despite the certain knowledge that Shea is not their genetically matched child, the emotional bond grows stronger every minute of every day that Shea remains in their care,” the lawsuit says. “They would willingly keep her in their care; however, for the sake of both Shea and her genetic parents, they recognize that Shea should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents so long as they are fit, able and willing to take her.”
At an emergency hearing on Wednesday, lawyers on both sides said that clinic had preliminarily agreed to do genetic testing, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

However, Francis Pierce III, a lawyer for the clinic, told the Sentinel that there are privacy issues with genetically testing other babies born to patients at the clinic.
“Patients would have to agree to be tested,” he told the newspaper. Pierce added that attorneys on both sides are working for a quick settlement.

Dr. Milton McNichol, who heads the clinic, was fined $5,000 in May 2024 after a Florida State Board of Medicine routine inspection found equipment that didn’t meet “performance standards,” and non-compliance with a risk management program, according to the newspaper.
Fox News Digital has reached out to lawyers for the clinic and McNichol for comment.
Police union rips Seattle mayor’s plan pitting officers against ICE
Seattle’s progressive Mayor Katie Wilson announced a series of moves Thursday that ban federal agents from using city property to conduct immigration enforcement operations and requiring the police department to investigate, verify, and document reports of enforcement activities, citing the “unpredictable, chaotic, and violent behavior” of the federal government.
In a news release, Wilson, who was sworn in as mayor earlier this month, said she will sign an executive order prohibiting federal immigration authorities from using city-owned and city-controlled property for immigration enforcement activities.
“Whoever you are, and wherever you come from: if Seattle is your home, then this is your city,” said Wilson said in a news release announcing the move. “And it’s our responsibility as city leaders to move quickly and get organized so we can keep people safe.”
‘MOB MENTALITY’ ENDANGERS OFFICERS AMID ANTI-ICE UNREST AND CHAOS IN MINNEAPOLIS, RETIRED COPS WARN
The ban includes city parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, storage facilities, garages and the Seattle Center, an entertainment, tourism and performing arts center that includes the city’s iconic Space Needle.
Wilson also encouraged Seattle Public Schools and other local governments to take similar steps following enhanced immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.
“So many of us are shocked and heartbroken by the news out of Minneapolis, and share a growing concern that our city too could come under attack by the federal government,” Wilson said. “I’m also disturbed by what I’ve been hearing about the huge spike in hotline calls there from families that can’t pay their rent because they’re afraid to leave their homes and go to work, and about small businesses at the end of their rope because the federal incursion has made it impossible to operate.”
She said the federal government was causing “long-term harm” to many communities and that the city has a “shared responsibility to organize, practice solidarity, and do what we can to keep Seattle safe.”
In addition to the ban, Wilson announced other measures, including requiring the Seattle Police Department to “investigate, verify, and document” reports of immigration enforcement activities.
The White House blamed local officials for refusing to work with ICE in an effort to safely transfer criminal illegal immigrants into federal custody, forcing federal agents to go into communities where they are confronted, sometimes violently, by agitators.
“ICE officers are facing a 1300% increase in assaults because of dangerous, untrue smears by elected Democrats,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital. “Just the other day, an officer had his finger bitten off by a radical left-wing rioter.”
“ICE officers act heroically to enforce the law and protect American communities and local officials should work with them, not against them,” she added. “Anyone pointing the finger at law enforcement officers instead of the criminals is simply doing the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.”

Officers dispatched to reports of ICE activity will document the activity with in-car and body-worn video, as well as validate the status of federal law enforcement agents through official identification and securing scenes of potentially unlawful acts to gather evidence for prosecutors.
“I understand the concern and anxiety in the community, and I want to make sure everyone knows that the police are here to keep you safe, regardless of your immigration status,” said Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes. “The City of Seattle is a welcoming city, and my officers will continue to abide by all laws and regulations that prohibit our participation in immigration enforcement.”
Mike Solan, president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, the union that represents rank-and-file officers, shot down the idea of having officers pulled into the fight between local jurisdictions and the federal government.
“Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives,” Solan said, referring to the recent shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis. “The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns.”
Barnes noted that his officers don’t have authority over federal agents or federal policies, but that they will document incidents if and when they are notified.
“The Seattle Police Department’s primary responsibility is the life safety of ALL people,” he said.
The city will also invest $4 million in taxpayer funds in organizations involved in legal defense for immigrants and services for immigrant communities. Other initiatives include the establishment of the Stand Together Seattle Initiative, which urges private property owners to post notices clarifying that their property may not be accessed by federal agents without a warrant and mandating cooperation between the city and organizations to share information on enforcement activities through a hotline operated by a “trusted community-led partner.”

“The tragic killings by ill-disciplined federal law enforcement in Minneapolis are absolutely unacceptable,” said Councilman Bob Kettle. “Our Council will continue the work to create a Safer Seattle in the face of unprecedented federal law enforcement actions in cities across America which do not promote, but in fact, worsen, public safety. We stand with the people of Seattle to provide real safety, upheld by local law enforcement, whose job it is to protect and serve.”
