Trump says MAGA should drop ‘pathetic loser' Massie after pushback on US strikes
President Trump said on Sunday that the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement should drop Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) after the his pushback Saturday night against the U.S. strikes against Iran. In a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Massie 'not MAGA' and 'a simple minded 'grandstander' who thinks it's good politics for Iran to have the highest level Nuclear weapon.' 'Massie is weak, ineffective, and votes 'NO' on virtually everything put before him (Rand Paul, Jr.), no matter how good something may be. He is disrespectful to our great military, and all that they stand for, not even acknowledging their brilliance and bravery in yesterday's attack, which was a total and complete WIN,' Trump said in his post. The president name-checked Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) because both he and Massie have opposed the president's 'big, beautiful bill.' 'Massie should drop his fake act and start putting America First, but he doesn't know how to get there — he doesn't have a clue! He'll undoubtedly vote against the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, even though non-passage means a 68% Tax Increase for everybody, and many things far worse than that. MAGA should drop this pathetic LOSER, Tom Massie, like the plague!' he added. On Saturday, Trump announced that the U.S. had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites. Massie quickly posted on the social platform X that Trump's bombing of Iranian nuclear sites was unconstitutional. On Tuesday, Massie introduced a war powers resolution to prohibit U.S. involvement in Iran as its conflict with Israel intensifies, signaling they may force a vote on the matter. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said he would co-sponsor the measure. The Hill has reached out to Massie and Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) office for comment.

Kremlin warns that other nations ready to give Iran nukes: ‘Dangerous escalation has begun'
Moscow warned Sunday that several nations are prepared to supply Tehran with nuclear weapons, as Russia and China condemned America's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Dmitry Medvedev, who serves as deputy head of Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council, claimed Saturday's US airstrike — the first to use 15-ton GBU-57 'bunker-buster' bombs in combat — only caused minimal damage to Tehran's nuclear sites, including the fortified Fordow enrichment plant. Medvedev, who did not specify which countries are ready to arm Tehran, reiterated that the attacks would not stop Russia's ally in the Middle East from acquiring nuclear weapons. 5 Russian President Vladimir Putin's Security Council warned that several nations are ready to arm Iran with nuclear weapons after America's attack on Tehran's nuclear sites.

AP The statement comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he will be traveling to Moscow to meet with Putin to discuss countermeasures. 'We enjoy a strategic partnership, and we always consult with each other and coordinate our positions,' Araghchi told Russian media. Russia's Foreign Ministry described the American airstrike in Iran as 'a gross violation of international law, the UN Charter, and UN Security Council resolutions. 'It is already clear that a dangerous escalation has begun, fraught with further undermining of regional and global security,' the ministry said in a statement. 5 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi (center) was expected to meet with Russian officials Sunday to discuss the American attack.

But Chinese officials also said their country is committed to keep the fighting from escalating, with Beijing calling for a cease-fire. 'China is willing to work with the international community to pool efforts together and uphold justice, and contribute to the work for restoring peace and stability in the Middle East,' the ministry said in a statement. 5 China is calling on a cease-fire in the Middle East while facing demands from the West to stop Iran from shutting down the Strait of Hormuz shipping route. KAZAKHSTAN'S PRESIDENTIAL PRESS SERVICE/AFP via Getty Images China is being pressured by the US to stop Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil shipping route whose closure would impact global prices. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday called on Beijing to make sure Iran keeps the oil port open, noting that the bulk of China's oil comes from the Strait. 'It will have some impact on us,' Rubio told CBS News' 'Face the Nation' of the possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 'It will have a lot more impact on the rest of the world,' he added, calling the move 'economic suicide' for Iran. With Post wires

Rubio: ‘No planned military operations' against Iran unless they attack Americans
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that the United States currently has no military operation planned against Iran but left the door open for future strikes if it does not demonstrate a meaningful effort to make peace. 'We have other targets that we could hit, but we achieved our objective,' Rubio said in an interview on CBS News's 'Face the Nation.' 'The primary targets we were interested in are the ones that were struck [last night] in devastating fashion,' Rubio continued. 'And we've achieved that objective.' Rubio made clear that the U.S. would retaliate if Iran attacked Americans 'or American interests.' 'There are no planned military operations right now against Iran, unless — unless — they mess around and they attack Americans or American interests. Then they're going to have a problem,' he said. Rubio said he would not 'broadcast what those problems are' but stressed U.S. capabilities to carry out sophisticated attacks. 'Know this: The United States flew halfway around the world, right into the heart of Iran, over their most sensitive locations — these things got rocked — and then we left. And we were out of their airspace, we were over the ocean before they figured out what had happened,' Rubio said. 'And there are plenty of other targets — We don't want to do that. That's not our preference. We want peace deals with them, and that's up to them to decide,' he continued. Trump announced Saturday evening that U.S. forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites and said to Iran, in a social media post, 'NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!' The bombs targeted three nuclear sites in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow, located inside a mountain. Six 'bunker buster' bombs were reportedly dropped on Fordow, while more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles were launched at the other two sites. The bombings put the U.S. directly in Iran's crosshairs for retaliation and made it an active participant in the Mideast war, which Israel launched with airstrikes against Iran on June 13.
