On The A.M. Update, Aaron McIntire covers a volatile weekend. Israel's “Rising Lion” operation escalates into a third day of war with Iran, with Tel Aviv enduring hypersonic missile barrages and Israel striking Tehran's nuclear sites, military bases, and oil facilities, killing key figures like the IRGC's intelligence chief. Netanyahu tells Fox News Israel aims to prevent Iran from arming proxies like the Houthis with nuclear weapons, while Trump, on Truth Social, denies U.S. involvement but warns Iran of severe consequences if attacked, urging a peace deal. McIntire sees Israel's goal as regime change, noting Netanyahu's calls to Iranians to rise up.
