Breaking: Pentagon Unveils Newly Released Videos and Photos of Iranian Attacks
New Footage Released: Pentagon Shows Iranian Strike Videos and Photos
The Department of War has released the first photos and video footage showing U.S. military strikes against Iran as the ongoing campaign enters its third day. The operation, known as Operation Epic Fury, has already resulted in the deaths of four American service members, while more than a dozen others have been injured.
Early Monday morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that the central objective of the U.S. operation in Iran is the use of advanced laser systems.
“Destroy Iran’s missiles, eliminate their missile manufacturing capabilities, cripple their navy, and dismantle their security infrastructure—then they will never obtain nuclear weapons,” Hegseth said during a briefing alongside Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine.
Hegseth declined to specify how long the operation would last but emphasized that it would not become an open-ended conflict.
“This is not Iraq,” Hegseth stated. “This mission will not drag on indefinitely. Our generation understands the mistakes of the past. The president has called the last 20 years of nation-building wars misguided, and he’s right. What we’re doing now is completely different. This is a clear, powerful, and decisive mission: eliminate the missile threat, neutralize their navy, and ensure they never develop nuclear weapons.”
He also confirmed that there are currently no U.S. ground troops inside Iran, though he refused to discuss potential future actions.
General Caine added that a full battle damage assessment would take time, explaining that U.S. Central Command would carefully analyze the results of the strikes before determining the next targets.
Meanwhile, the conflict has already caused heavy casualties in the region. At least 11 people have been reported killed in Israel, while the Iranian Red Crescent claims that 555 people have died in Iran since the fighting began.
During the briefing, Hegseth accused Iran of triggering the conflict through its continued nuclear ambitions and its actions against international shipping routes.
“Iran essentially held a conventional weapon to our head while attempting to deceive the world about its nuclear intentions,” Hegseth told reporters.
At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to journalists on Saturday following the coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes. He said the global political landscape is rapidly shifting and warned that the world has entered a new geopolitical era.
“The world is changing very quickly right before our eyes,” Rubio said. “The world I grew up in is gone. We are now living in a completely different geopolitical environment, and it requires all of us to reconsider what our roles and responsibilities will be moving forward.”
Rubio added that the United States has already begun discussing these changes privately with several allied nations and plans to continue those conversations.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also confirmed on Saturday that Rubio notified senior members of Congress before the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran were carried out.
Leavitt made the announcement in a post on X after critics questioned whether President Donald Trump had authorized the strikes without proper congressional approval.
“President Trump monitored developments overnight at Mar-a-Lago alongside members of his national security team. The president also spoke by phone with Prime Minister Netanyahu,” Leavitt wrote.
She explained that Secretary Rubio contacted all members of the so-called ‘Gang of Eight’—the top congressional leaders responsible for intelligence oversight—and successfully briefed seven of the eight members before the attacks.
“The president and his national security team will continue to closely watch the situation throughout the day,” she added.
Leavitt did not say whether Trump planned to return to Washington or remain at his residence in Florida.
The “Gang of Eight” consists of the Senate majority and minority leaders, the Speaker and minority leader of the House, and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate intelligence committees.
Under the 1947 National Security Act, the executive branch is required to keep Congress “fully informed” about significant intelligence operations. However, according to experts at the Harvard Kennedy School, presidents from both political parties have often interpreted this requirement to mean that informing the Gang of Eight satisfies the legal obligation rather than briefing the entire intelligence committees.

The Epstein Unredacted: Congressman Dan Goldman Exposes Alleged DOJ Cover-Up and Explosive Evidence Linking Trump to Epstein’s Darkest Secrets
In a moment that has frozen the political landscape of Washington D.C., Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) took to the floor of the House of Representatives to deliver a presentation that may well become a pivot point in American history.
Holding a series of unredacted documents—files that the Department of Justice had previously fought to keep shielded from public view—Goldman laid out a systematic and devastating case against the official narrative surrounding Donald Trump’s involvement with the notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein.
His words were not merely an accusation; they were a calculated strike against what he described as a “massive cover-up” designed to protect the former president from the consequences of a decades-long association that was far more intimate and darker than previously admitted.
The core of Goldman’s address focused on a specific, harrowing allegation from an unnamed victim—a testimony that the FBI reportedly found “unquestionably credible.”
According to the unredacted files, this victim, who was between the ages of 13 and 15 at the time, provided a consistent and graphic account of an assault by Donald Trump.
The details disclosed by Goldman were visceral, describing a scene where the victim was left alone with Trump, who allegedly made predatory remarks about “teaching little girls how to be” before the situation turned violent. Goldman revealed that the victim’s account was so compelling that she bit Trump in self-defense, an act of resistance that led to her being cast out of the room with derogatory insults.
What makes this testimony particularly explosive is not just the nature of the allegation, but the fact that it was included in a 21-page PowerPoint presentation created by the FBI for federal prosecutors. Goldman argued that the FBI would never have included such testimony in a briefing for prosecutors if they did not believe the evidence was solid.
This leads to the most serious charge of the day: that Attorney General Pam Bondi lied under oath when she told the House Judiciary Committee that “there is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime” in relation to the Epstein files.
Goldman’s presentation systematically dismantled the “total stranger” or “casual acquaintance” defense that has been the hallmark of Trump’s public statements regarding Epstein for twenty-five years.
He pointed to a 2003 birthday card Trump sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday, in which Trump wrote that they had “certain things in common” and referred to Epstein as a “pal,” concluding with the cryptic wish: “may every day be another wonderful secret”. This personal correspondence stands in stark contrast to later claims of distance.
Even more revealing was the account of a phone call Trump allegedly made to the Palm Beach County police chief in 2006, immediately after the investigation into Epstein became public. According to the documents, Trump told the chief, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him—everyone has known he’s been doing this”. Goldman paused to highlight the logical inconsistency: why would an innocent person call a police chief to validate an investigation they supposedly knew nothing about? This “barking dog” evidence, as referenced in an email from Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell, suggests that Trump’s silence during the investigation was a calculated move to avoid being dragged into the spotlight alongside his “pal”.
The Congressman emphasized that the public is only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Out of the millions of documents generated by the Epstein investigation, the DOJ is still refusing to turn over nearly three million pages to Congress. Goldman questioned why the Attorney General is redacting information
from the public that she is then forced to show to Congress under pressure, and what remains hidden in the millions of pages still behind closed doors.
“If the Attorney General is covering up this information… what else is she covering up about Donald Trump’s involvement?” Goldman asked the chamber, leaving the question hanging over a stunned audience.
This article aims to provide a clear, journalistic overview of the facts as presented by Congressman Goldman. It is a story about the struggle for transparency, the integrity of the Department of Justice, and the long-overdue voices of victims who have waited decades for the truth to be unredacted. As the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” continues to force more documents into the light, the narrative of “wonderful secrets” is being replaced by a ledger of undeniable evidence.
The implications for the American judicial system are profound. If Goldman’s assertions hold true, it indicates a failure of the DOJ to remain impartial and a disturbing willingness to redact the truth in favor of political protection. The “dog that hasn’t barked” has finally started to make noise, and the sound is echoing through the halls of power, demanding an answer that redaction pens can no longer erase.
The public’s right to know has never been more vital. These unredacted files dispute everything previously said about the Trump-Epstein connection, transforming rumors into documented evidence. From the flights on the “Lolita Express”—which Goldman noted Trump took eight times despite his denials—to the hours spent at Epstein’s residences, the map of their shared world is being redrawn with forensic precision. This is not just about the past; it is about the accountability of the present and the future of justice in the United States.
