Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez arrived at a federal prison on Tuesday to begin serving an 11-year sentence for accepting bribes of gold and cash and acting as an agent of Egypt. The New Jersey Democrat has been mocked for the crimes as “Gold Bar Bob,” according to his own lawyer. The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Menendez was in custody at the Federal Correctional Institution, Schuylkill in Minersville, Pennsylvania. The facility has a medium-security prison and a minimum-security prison camp. Given the white-collar nature of his crimes, it’s likely he’ll end up in the camp. The prison is about 118 miles (190 kilometers) west of New York City.

Massive bombings rock Tehran as the IAF is carrying out their most relentless attacks since the war began.

The Israeli Air Force obliterated 12 Iranian missile storage and launch sites in a massive strike operation, per the IDF. They released footage exposing Iran’s prep to fire ballistic missiles at Israel, followed by a precision hit on the site. Another clip shows an Israeli strike wiping out an Iranian air defense system at one of the targets.

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared that the United States has precise intelligence on the whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warning that the regime’s time to halt uranium enrichment is running out fast.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”
He followed up with a sharp message directed at Iran’s recent provocations. “But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

President Donald Trump declared in a post on Truth Social on Tuesday that the United States and Israel now dominate Iranian airspace.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” Trump wrote.

The Israeli Air Force has destroyed 70 Iranian air defense batteries since the start of the IDF’s operation in Iran, according to the military. In the first 24 hours of the operation early Friday, over 40 Iranian air defense systems were struck, according to the IDF, giving the IAF air supremacy over western Iran and Tehran. Since then, another 30 systems have been targeted in waves of strikes, opening up a path for IAF fighter jets and drones to operate deeper within Iran, the military says.

The IRGC has released footage showing the launch of ballistic missiles aimed at Israel.

Additional footage released by the IDF shows strikes on air defense systems in Iran.

Concerns are growing among Western leaders that Iran could deploy a radioactive “dirty bomb” in its confrontation with Israel, a move that might trigger direct U.S. military involvement, according to the chief foreign affairs commentator at the Financial Times.
Israel launched a sweeping aerial assault on Iranian territory early Friday, targeting senior military personnel and key sites tied to Iran’s missile and nuclear infrastructure. Israeli officials described the campaign as merely a first step, raising fears of a broader regional war between the longtime foes.
Since the initial strikes, Israel and Iran have continued to trade aerial attacks.

Amid growing alarm over Iran’s missile attacks, hundreds of Americans participating in Birthright trips to Israel were evacuated by sea, setting sail on a cruise ship bound for Cyprus.
The Israeli Navy accompanied the vessel, which carried 1,500 passengers, during its 10-hour journey on Tuesday to ensure their safety along the route.
To complete the evacuation effort, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis arranged for four planes to retrieve the travelers in Cyprus and bring them to Tampa, allowing the Americans to continue their journey back to the United States.
According to the nonprofit organization Birthright Israel, there are approximately 2,800 participants currently on trips in Israel—most of whom are young Americans.
