Fatemeh'sparents were scheduled to meet with doctors in Portland on February 5, but were barred from traveling from Tehran to Portland, Fatemeh's uncle, Samad Teghizadeh, told CNN Thursday.

Several congressional Democrats released a letter Friday evening asking for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to grant a waiver for the child and her parents to come into the country for surgery.

Though the baby's heart surgery is still in limbo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a statement on Friday about the family being able to come to the US.

"This evening we were pleased to learn that the federal government has now granted Fatemeh Reshad and her family boarding documents to come to the United States," Cuomo said.

"We will continue to work with the International Refugee Assistance Project and their partners to ensure this baby receives the treatment she needs, and fight for those being unfairly shut out of America's gates by this policy."

Last month, Iranian doctors in Tehran told baby Fatemeh's family that the 4-month-old has structural abnormalities and two holes in her heart, but they lack the resources to treat the infant.

Fatemeh and her parents boarded a flight to Dubai on Saturday, but they were rerouted back to Iran and told to reapply for a US visa in 90 days.

Teghizadeh, a US citizen who lives in Portland, worries his niece will not make it until then.

The delay comes after Trump's executive order put an abrupt stop on travel to the US for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran.

A call for help

Many state and federal officials have intervened on behalf of the family, a Washington, D.C.-based immigration attorney working on the case, Amber Murray told CNN.

Murray is helping the family obtain an emergency waiver to navigate around the ban.

If the waiver fails, the family could consider applying on a humanitarian basis, which could take 30-90 days, Murray advised.

Lawyers involved with the case are working with State Department officials to see if that could be expedited, should the waiver not be granted, Murray said.

"I'm very concerned," Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said in a press conference Thursday.

"I find it deplorable that an infant, who was supposed to come to Oregon to receive much needed lifesaving care, was not able to access that care at Oregon Health Sciences University."

The governor's office has connected with the family to determine if medical help can be provided, spokesman for Gov. Brown, Bryan Hockaday, told CNN.

Fatemeh's family also contacted Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley's office asking for help.

Merkley hopes to use whatever leverage he has to help, he "has taken interest in the case and assigned a case worker from his office to work as a facilitator between the family and immigration lawyers," the senator's communications director Sarah Hottman told CNN on Thursday.

"He's involved and very personally interested in this issue, being very opposed to this ban as its having potentially devastating effect on lives," Hottman said.

That leverage apparently included the letter to Tillerson, which Merkley's office sent with all other congressional Democrats from the state.

"Whether Fatemeh and her family are allowed access to this urgent and necessary medical care in the United States will determine whether she lives or dies," they wrote.

The Democrats said granting the waiver would be "moral and humanitarian" as well as send a signal that "even in the face of highly strained diplomatic relations, the United States offers help to those suffering tragic circumstances."

The surgery

Doctors from around the country, also from Canada and Germany, have responded to calls for help, Murray told CNN.

"She has a fairly complicated anatomy with a muscular VSD," Murray said.

A ventricular septal defect (VSD), is a common heart defect present at birth due to an abnormal connection between the ventricles or lower chambers of the heart, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Doctors are awaiting more of Fatemeh's medical records but in addition to having a VSD, the initial diagnosis indicates she also has other heart complications including an atrial septal defect -- a "hole" in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart.

Fatemeh's family is hoping a doctor will perform the surgeries pro-bono.

Doctors in Tehran sent the results of Fatemeh's echocardiogram to doctors in Portland who reviewed her case said she needs to be operated on urgently, projecting that while Fatemeh has a long road ahead -- at least two surgeries will be necessary to fix the holes in her heart -- her chance for survival is much higher in the US.

Teghizadeh, who has been an American citizen for seven years, lives with his parents in Portland -- Fatemeh's grandparents -- who are also US citizens.

"This is my home. We live here. My work and everything is in the US," he aid. "Believe me, if I didn't have a brother and sister in Iran, I wouldn't go there. This is our home."

Teghizadeh just wants his sister's baby to get the care she needs.

Subway menu is recommended by many nutritionists.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Yes, you can choose from pre-designed sandwiches at the chain, including the typical turkey, ham and roast beef varieties. But what we really like about the sub stop is that any menu item can be customized to meet your diet preferences: breads, meats and cheeses, veggies and dressings. You can think of it as one big sandwich buffet -- that is, without having to worry about portion control.

Here's more food for thought: If you think of Subway solely as a sandwich chain, you might be surprised to learn that from the time the first store opened in 1965, salads have been on the menu. We're not talking about new culinary creations but simple adaptations. For example, a sub can quickly morph into a salad if you ask for the sandwich to be prepared as a salad. The ingredients are pretty much the same (except for the bread), just in different proportions (i.e. more veggies, including spinach, and olives). Chopped salads were introduced in 2012.

Also worth mentioning: More than 80% of Subway restaurants offer soup, though varieties can differ according to location.

Most of our sandwich picks come from Subway's Fresh Fit menu, which includes sandwiches that are low in saturated fat, are sensible in calories and have less sodium than some of the other sandwiches.

When it comes to breads, the chain's nine-grain wheat bread and multigrain flatbread are richest in whole grains and fiber. The standard build for all sandwiches and salads contains five fresh veggies -- lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, peppers and onions -- but you are welcome to add or subtract toppings as you wish.

Sandwich condiments such as light mayonnaise and mustard add flavor but will contribute small amounts of sodium.

Though most vegetables will not make a dent in your daily sodium budget, pickles do contribute 115 milligrams. Cheese contributes sodium, too: American cheese has the most, at 200 milligrams per serving.

Salad dressings and sauces deliver more sodium than most condiments, but the oil and vinegar dressing is sodium-free.

To limit added sugars, pair your salad or sub with water or unsweetened tea instead of sugar-sweetened beverages.

Below are, by my estimation, the best Subway options if you're focused on healthy choices within the limits of the menu. We break it down by our picks for kids, athletes, drivers, vegetarians and vegans, as well as low-calorie, low-sugar, low-salt, gluten-free and low-carb options. (Note: All sandwiches are 6 inches long, unless otherwise noted.)

Our picks: Roast beef mini sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread; or Veggie Delite mini sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with shredded Monterey cheddar; and apple slices and low-fat milk

At Subway, kids can enjoy the same sandwiches as grownups, but in smaller sizes. A "Fresh Fit for Kids Meal" includes a Fresh Fit mini sub, which is a 4-inch sandwich that is low in saturated fat and calories.

Our top pick is the roast beef mini, as it's the most protein-rich of the four kids' sandwich options, and it's the lowest-sodium meat option. For a vegetarian kids option, choose the Veggie Delite sandwich with shredded Monterey cheddar, which has less than half the sodium of processed American cheese.

The kids meal comes with apple slices and a choice of low-fat, calcium-rich milk or fruit punch; we recommend the milk for kids' growing bones.

For vegetarians

Our picks: Veggie Delite sandwich on multigrain flatbread with shredded Monterey cheddar (toasted); or salad with egg whites, cheese, avocado and oil and vinegar dressing

Whether you're vegetarian or simply in the mood for a meatless meal, Subway will satisfy your needs. The chain offers a Veggie Delite sub, a combination of lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers and onions on bread. If that doesn't sound exciting, give it a tasty upgrade by ordering it with multigrain flatbread, which is rich in fiber and whole grains, and ask for it to be toasted with shredded Monterey cheddar.

You can also get a lighter, vegetarian version of a Cobb salad by ordering an egg white and cheese sandwich as a chopped salad. Add guacamole if it's available to boost heart-healthy fats, and top with oil and vinegar dressing.

Our picks: Veggie Delite sandwich on Italian bread with vinaigrette; or black bean soup

Vegans who visit Subway can enjoy the Veggie Delite sandwich with vinaigrette dressing for a filling, fiber-rich meal. For vegans who avoid honey, we recommend the Veggie Delite sandwich on Italian bread; however, for those who include honey as part of a vegan diet, we recommend the nine-grain wheat bread, which is richer in whole grains. (Note: Sourdough and roasted garlic are also vegan breads, though not all chains carry them.) Vegans can choose from toppings including mustard, oil, vinegar, pickles, jalapenos and sweet onion sauce.

Another satisfying vegan option offered at some locations is the low-fat black bean soup, with 12 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber. You can even combine the soup with the sandwich, depending on your appetite. Also worth noting: If you are near one of the 400 or so Subway locations that offer it, you can order a vegan vegetable patty sub, though its sodium count is on the higher side, at about 1,000 milligrams.

For calorie counters

Our picks: Turkey breast salad; or Black Forest ham salad with honey mustard dressing; or turkey breast sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with honey mustard sauce; and apple slices

We love that Subway can satisfy calorie counters with its wide assortment of salads, which can come chopped or unchopped, depending on your preference. For waistline watchers who find small portions a bit challenging, the salads offer volume: 2½ cups of veggies, including spinach, tomatoes, green peppers, red onions and cucumbers, for very few calories.

The turkey breast and Black Forest ham salads are lowest in calories, with only 110 calories each. You can even add honey mustard dressing without significantly boosting the calorie load (it has only 60 calories per serving). If you prefer a sandwich, turkey comes out on top again as the lowest-calorie non-vegetarian option on the menu; adding honey mustard sauce brings the total sandwich count to 310 calories.

Add apple slices to your salad for a sweet crunchy snack, and your total meal count is only 205 calories.

For the sugar-sensitive

Our picks: Turkey breast sandwich with Monterey cheddar cheese on toasted multigrain flatbread; or oven-roasted chicken salad; or tuna salad with oil and vinegar dressing

With the exception of sugary beverages and desserts, sugars are not a concern at Subway. Most of the chain's sandwiches and salads have less than 10% of calories from added sugar. Our top low-sugar pick is the turkey breast sandwich with cheddar cheese on toasted multigrain flatbread, which has only 5 grams of sugar. Other low-sugar options include the oven-roasted chicken salad and the chopped tuna salad, each with only 6 grams of sugar.

If you're watching sugars, you'll want to steer clear of the sweet onion dressing, which contributes 16 grams, or 4 teaspoons, of sugar per serving. Top either salad with sugar-free oil and vinegar dressing instead.

Additionally, pair your salad or sub with water or unsweetened tea instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. And try to tame your cravings for cookies: Just one chocolate chip cookie delivers 18 grams, or 4½ teaspoons, of sugar.

For the salt-sensitive

Our picks: Veggie Delite salad with oil and vinegar dressing; or Veggie Delite sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with oil and vinegar dressing; or oven-roasted chicken salad with oil and vinegar dressing; and apple slices

As is typically the case, a meatless meal, such as Subway's Veggie Delite sandwich or the related salad with oil and vinegar dressing, will naturally be lower in sodium. However, there are other options for those looking to limit their salt intake. One we like, with fewer than 300 milligrams of sodium, is the oven-roasted chicken salad with oil and vinegar. You can add avocado if it's available, as it's essentially sodium-free.

However, we caution you to be careful with condiments such as ranch dressing and buffalo sauce (each deliver 400 milligrams of sodium), American cheese (it adds 200 milligrams) and pickles (115 milligrams). Pair your meal with apple slices for a small potassium boost; the mineral will help blunt sodium's effects on blood pressure.

For the gluten-sensitive

Our picks: Rotisserie-style chicken salad with vinaigrette; or black bean soup; or broccoli and cheddar soup

If you're avoiding gluten in your diet, Subway's salads are the way to go. The chopped salad with rotisserie-style chicken topped with Subway's own vinaigrette -- a blend of vinegar, oregano, garlic and pepper -- is one of our favorites. It's packed with vegetables, including folate-rich spinach, and provides 23 grams of lean protein.

Other options with no gluten-containing ingredients include the black bean and broccoli and cheddar soups, which deliver 12 and 5 grams of protein, respectively.

Also worth noting: Approximately 5% of Subway restaurants offer gluten-free bread, so you can ask for your sandwich to be made with it if your local chain offers it. (Note that even when gluten-free bread is available, sandwiches are not labeled "gluten-free" due to the risk of cross-contamination with products that include gluten in the store; an individual with celiac disease would have to be extra cautious.)

For the athlete

Our picks: Rotisserie-style chicken sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with honey mustard sauce; or roast beef sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with mustard; and Gatorade

Whether you favor weights, sprints or long cardio routines, Subway's rotisserie-style chicken sandwich can meet your workout needs. It offers 29 grams of protein and 45 grams of carbs to fuel and repair muscles. We also like the roast beef sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread, which is similar in terms of nutritional value.

Athletes with bigger appetites can order a footlong sandwich instead of 6 inches, if more calories and carbs are desired.

Additionally, strength trainers can take advantage of the chain's "double meat option," which gives you two times the amount of protein in the meal. For example, doubling the amount of roast beef brings the protein count of the sandwich from 25 grams to 41 grams (the bread contributes some protein, too). The sodium count also increases significantly, though, so we recommend proceeding only if you can afford the extra milligrams.

Grab a Gatorade for a post-workout beverage to replenish electrolytes lost in sweat.

For the road warrior

Our picks: Oven-roasted chicken sandwich on nine-grain wheat bread with honey mustard sauce; or turkey breast sandwich with Swiss cheese on toasted multigrain flatbread; and apple slices and Baked Lay's chips

Subway's sandwiches are great for grabbing on the go. We like the oven-roasted chicken sandwich with honey mustard sauce, which has 23 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber -- a nutrient combo that will keep you sated on the road. If you're not in a rush, order a turkey sandwich with shredded cheddar, and ask for it to be toasted on multigrain flatbread.

For a snack during your travels, apples are still the healthiest option, though we understand if you want to grab some Baked Lay's, too.

For the carb-conscious

Our picks: Carved turkey sandwich without bread; or club with scooped-out bread; oil and vinegar dressing

Those cutting carbs have a few options at Subway: you can order a salad (though most dressings and veggies still contain carbs), order a sandwich sans bread or get your bread scooped.

Keep in mind, the more you scoop, the more you save: A Subway club with scooped-out bread still has 39 grams of carbs (compared with 46 grams in the non-scooped version), a number based on the minimum amount of bread removed.

We would typically save the carved turkey sandwich for November, as it's higher in sodium than the other sandwiches. However, in addition to slashing 40 grams of carbs, omitting the bread brings the sodium count down to 620 milligrams from 890 milligrams. Olive oil and vinegar dressing adds flavor without any carbs.

For breakfast

Our picks: Egg whites with Swiss cheese, spinach and tomato on multigrain flatbread

If you have a hunch that breakfast at Subway consists of breakfast subs, well, you're correct. You won't find oatmeal or even yogurt on the morning menu.

The point of differentiation for the chain's breakfast offerings comes down to the way you order your eggs (both eggs and egg whites are available), what type of bread you choose and whether you add cheese or meats to your morning sandwich.

We favor the egg white sandwich with Swiss cheese, spinach and tomato on multigrain flatbread, which is packed with protein, carbs and fiber to get your day off to an energizing start.

Trump's travel ban leaves a baby's heart surgery in limbo

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Fatemeh'sparents were scheduled to meet with doctors in Portland on February 5, but were barred from traveling from Tehran to Portland, Fatemeh's uncle, Samad Teghizadeh, told CNN Thursday.

Several congressional Democrats released a letter Friday evening asking for Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to grant a waiver for the child and her parents to come into the country for surgery.

Though the baby's heart surgery is still in limbo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo released a statement on Friday about the family being able to come to the US.

"This evening we were pleased to learn that the federal government has now granted Fatemeh Reshad and her family boarding documents to come to the United States," Cuomo said.

"We will continue to work with the International Refugee Assistance Project and their partners to ensure this baby receives the treatment she needs, and fight for those being unfairly shut out of America's gates by this policy."

Last month, Iranian doctors in Tehran told baby Fatemeh's family that the 4-month-old has structural abnormalities and two holes in her heart, but they lack the resources to treat the infant.

Fatemeh and her parents boarded a flight to Dubai on Saturday, but they were rerouted back to Iran and told to reapply for a US visa in 90 days.

Teghizadeh, a US citizen who lives in Portland, worries his niece will not make it until then.

The delay comes after Trump's executive order put an abrupt stop on travel to the US for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran.

If the waiver fails, the family could consider applying on a humanitarian basis, which could take 30-90 days, Murray advised.

Lawyers involved with the case are working with State Department officials to see if that could be expedited, should the waiver not be granted, Murray said.

"I'm very concerned," Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said in a press conference Thursday.

A military spokesman acknowledged it was released without having been thoroughly analyzed.

The video was meant to demonstrate the value of the weekend raid whose stated aim was to recover key intelligence about al Qaeda. But the footage released Friday morning actually consisted of video that was previously available to the public.

The video was pulled because "we didn't want to make it appear that we were trying to pass off old video," said US Central Command spokesman Col. John Thomas. The mistake was due "to our lack of having time to properly analyze it."

"We were trying to provide an example of some of the things recovered on the raid," Thomas said.

Thomas was adamant there was no pressure to release anything. He insisted it was CENTCOM'S decision alone to put out the video and not an order from above.

A second defense official agreed that there was no White House pressure. The official said that the desire to get this out came from a subordinate Special Operations unit involved in the raid frustrated by the politicization and coverage of the mission. The Pentagon quickly approved the idea when broached by CENTCOM, the official added.

A White House official told CNN it was not involved in the Pentagon's decision to release video of the January raid in Yemen.

The video that was released is nine years old, according to US CENTCOM officials.

But the military said the footage, even if not fresh, was still of value.

"It does not matter when the video was made. It is still illustrative of who they are and what their intentions are," said Capt. Jeff Davis, Pentagon spokesman.

Ahead of the botched video release, Thomas had said that "the videos are one example of the volumes of sensitive al Qaeda terror-planning information recovered during the operation."

He added, "What was captured from the site has already afforded insights into al Qaeda leadership, AQAP (Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula) methods of exporting terror, and how they communicate."

CENTCOM said the remainder of the recovered information will remain classified.

President Donald Trump will visit US Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida on Monday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer announced Friday. He said the President will receive briefings from military officials there and deliver an "all hands" address to US troops.

Post-raid analysis has determined that several of the 14 AQAP operatives killed in the raid were terrorist network leaders and facilitators, according to CENTCOM. The dead include Sultan al Dhahab and Abd-al-Ra'uf al-Dhahab, two longstanding AQAP operational planners and weapons experts.

An official at Central Command, which oversees US military operations in the Middle East, described the clips as excerpts from "al Qaeda terrorist training videos," saying the release offers "a first look" at what the military recovered.

The information was seized from a staging area, propaganda center and logistics hub for AQAP's terrorist network this past weekend. The military said the operation, known as a "site exploitation" raid, was geared toward collecting as much intelligence on the terror group as possible to facilitate future raids and strikes against al Qaeda and prevent terror attacks around the world.

In the wake of the Obama administration's raid that killed al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden, the military released videos that were among the trove of documents and computers seized in that operation.

The release of the new video clips comes as news has emerged regarding how the raid was authorized during the first days of Trump's presidency.

Former National Security Council staff under President Barack Obama criticized what they said were the Trump White House's attempts to attribute the operation's approval to the previous administration. The raid left one Navy SEAL dead, three wounded and led to civilian casualties.

Trump provided final approval for the raid because it required a presidential green light, but it was months in the making and was okayed at several levels before getting to the President's desk. Trump staffers, military officials and Obama-era Pentagon officials have said that the raid was also approved by commanders and Obama's defense secretary.

Operational details, including the need for a moonless night, pushed the mission window back after January 20.

As US Navy SEALs and special forces from the UAE approached the al Qaeda compound in Yemen, they were detected. An intense firefight broke out that killed Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens and wounded three additional SEALs.

During the gun battle, which featured small arms fire, hand grenades and close air support strikes from US aircraft, al Qaeda fighters -- including some female combatants -- took up firing positions on the roof of a nearby building. As the US troops came under fire, they called in an airstrike against the building, which likely led to civilian casualties, military officials said.

The group is thought to be the most capable of al Qaeda's franchises. Besides the "shoebomber," the group was also behind the 2013 Boston Marathon attack, a 2010 plot to put bombs on cargo planes bound for two Jewish targets in the US and the deadly 2015 attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris.
This story has been updated throughout to explain the mix-up over the video released by CENTCOM. Updates will continue as more information is available.

President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall on the border with Mexico is facing a major problem: A wall of resistance from his own party.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A growing number of congressional Republicans are objecting to the cost and viability of a proposal that was a rallying cry for the billionaire businessman during his insurgent campaign. Interviews with more than a dozen GOP lawmakers across the ideological spectrum suggest Trump could have a difficult time getting funding for his plan approved by Congress.

Many bluntly told CNN they'd likely vote against any Trump plan that is not fully offset with spending cuts, while others questioned whether Trump's vision would adequately resolve the problems at the border.

"If you're going to spend that kind of money, you're going to have to show me where you're going to get that money," said Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a key swing vote who has already broken with Trump over his nominee for secretary of education.

"I don't see how you can get a bill like that through (Congress) without offsets," she added. "I don't see how that's possible."

Trump's wall already faces legal hurdles given the likelihood that it could spawn lawsuits at the border. But if Congress doesn't go along with his funding plan, it could effectively stall Trump's proposal right out of the gate. House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said last week that the cost could range from $12 billion-$15 billion, while Ryan suggested that the project may not be fully offset with spending cuts, saying the wall is "a national security priority."

Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican who represents the border state of Texas, was deeply skeptical about whether a wall alone would be enough to deter immigrants from entering the country illegally. And he issued a stark warning to Trump.

"I have concerns about spending un-offset money, which adds to the debt, period," Cornyn said bluntly when asked about the wall. "I don't think we're just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it and through it."

Trump has increasingly said that Congress would fund the wall initially but would later be reimbursed completely by Mexico. But prominent Republicans say flatly that they don't think Mexico will pay the United States back -- and Mexican leadership has repeatedly said the same -- meaning that taxpayers would be left holding the bag.

"No," Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain said when asked if he thought Mexico would reimburse the United States for the wall. "It's not a viable option."

McCain added: "If you only build a wall, only a 'wall,' without using technology, individuals, drones, observations, etc., you're not going to secure the border."

Trump still has time to convince his party to go along, especially if he provides more details on his plans, given Republicans are largely united behind calls for more robust border security. And some GOP senators, like Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, suggest they're open to paying for the wall even if it's not offset by spending cuts.

White House lobbying

Behind the scenes, the Trump administration has tried to shore up support. John Kelly, the new secretary of Homeland Security, began to discuss with lawmakers this week his border security plans, sources said, but senators reported there were few details on the specifications of the wall.

The Trump administration is working on a supplemental funding package to pay for border and national security, but that work has stalled as the Senate moves slowly to confirm Trump's pick of Rep. Mick Mulvaney as his budget director.

Still, Trump wants to move quickly on the wall, within the first quarter of this year. And even if he asks for spending cuts to pay the wall, sources on the House and Senate appropriations committees say finding upwards of $15 billion in reductions would be extraordinarily difficult, especially in the middle of the fiscal year.

After last week's party retreat in Philadelphia, many Republicans also voiced concerns that there isn't enough focus on reducing the debt and deficit -- especially as Trump pushes Congress to green-light new infrastructure projects aside from the wall.

"I don't want to see any spending, additional spending on anything done that is not paid for," said Sen. Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, when asked about the wall. "We have got a huge fiscal problem right now -- $20.355 trillion in debt projected to add $9.7 trillion over the next 10 years. And I'm concerned that when I left the retreat last week there are so many things that people are talking about spending money on and at the same time lowering the amount of revenue. And it's a recipe for disaster."

Corker added he was concerned about a number of proposals that will add to the debt -- not just the wall.

A White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, but the administration has been vague on its plans. White House spokesman Sean Spicer suggested last week that the administration was considering imposing a 20% tax on Mexican imports to pay for the wall, but hours later said it was one of a list of ideas after Republican senators pushed back on that proposal.

In one of his first moves as president, Trump took executive action to order the construction of the wall, with Spicer saying "his goal was to get the project started as quickly as possible" with existing funds and then "move forward and work with Congress on an appropriation schedule." Spicer added that the American taxpayer will be "wholly respected."

But lawmakers will need more convincing to agree to pay up.

Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma is skeptical that Trump will get Mexico to pay for the wall, meaning he thinks Congress needs to find spending cuts to pay for the plan.

"I don't count on Mexico to pay for our national security," Lankford said. "It's the responsibility of every nation to take care of their own security."

Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a close McConnell ally who sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said: "Everything we spend we need to find a way to pay for."

In the House, Trump could also face a wall of resistance from deficit hawks like Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan.

"It looks like they're going to blow up our budget," Amash warned.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Tiger Woods withdrew from the Omega Dubai Desert Classic before beginning second-round play because of a back spasm he began suffering after dinner Thursday night.

With four withdrawals in Tiger Woods' past 19 official starts, retirement talk keeps gaining momentum. Still, he has earned the right to call it quits at a time of his choosing, not ours.

In December, hopes were high in the Tiger Woods camp. Two months later, after a WD in Dubai on Friday, questions linger about what's next for the 14-time major champion.

Tiger Woods shot a 5-over 77, failing to record any birdies, on Thursday during the opening round of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Woods' agent, Mark Steinberg, said Friday that the problem is not related to nerve issues that have plagued the 14-time major champion over the past few years and have resulted in three surgeries, the most recent coming in August 2015.

"He says it's not the nerve pain that's kept him out for so long," Steinberg said at Emirates Golf Club.

Woods, 41, was being paid a seven-figure appearance fee to play in the tournament, the first time he has ventured to the Middle East for an event in three years.

He shot an opening-round 77 that included five bogeys and no birdies on Thursday. It was his worst score in 29 rounds at Emirates Golf Club, where he has won twice and finished in the top five on five occasions.

At times during the first round, Woods appeared to be in distress, walking tentatively and being careful when lining up putts. This was just his third tournament start in the past 18 months. He returned in December at the Hero World Challenge and played last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he missed the cut.

"No, I wasn't in pain at all," Woods said when asked directly about it after the first round. "I was just trying to hit shots, and I wasn't doing a very good job."

Woods was unlikely to make the 36-hole cut, which is projected at even par. It would have meant Woods probably needed to shoot 5-under-par 67 on Friday. Steinberg said Woods could move, but was unable to make a full rotation.

He called it a "short-term prognosis" and hopes that "he'll be strong based on the fact it's not nerve pain."

Steinberg said the hope is that Woods can still play in the Genesis Open -- which benefits Woods' foundation -- at Riviera Country Club in two weeks.

"Spasms are a funny thing; I'm certainly no doctor, but they come and go," Steinberg said. "And again, the fact that he feels as though it's not the nerve pain, that's very encouraging for him.

"He's had spasms before. He's got to get the spasm to calm down, from what I gather. He has his trainer here, which is good, and that's who has been working on him for the past several hours."

Steinberg would not disclose the trainer's name, but he has been with Woods at each of his tournament starts and is based in South Florida, near Woods' home.

"[Woods] talked to you guys when he got off the course yesterday, and said no pain. Just not great play," Steinberg said. "And I saw him before he went to dinner last night, no pain. And it's just one of those things where it just happened. I'm not aware of anything last week, at all, or yesterday during the round."

Matt Fitzpatrick, who played his first round Thursday with Woods, said he had hoped to play another round with him.

"I don't think disappointed is the right word," Fitzpatrick said. "Obviously I was upset by it. I would have liked to play another round with him and talked a little bit more -- watch him play golf. Same for everyone, I'm sure.

"I have no doubt that the large crowd that turned up on the first tee, I would have thought the majority didn't know that he'd withdrawn and were waiting for him to show up and were a bit puzzled when me and Danny only went as a two. ... Hopefully everything's all right with him and hopefully he's going to be back for the next tournament."

Two-time major winner Martin Kaymer, who also is in the field, said it is "a shame" that Woods was forced to withdraw.

"On one hand, you want to see him play golf," Kaymer said, "and on the other hand you don't want to see him struggling. It's a tricky one."

This is the seventh time Woods has withdrawn from a tournament dating to 2010, and the third before the cut. The last time he did so was at the Farmers Insurance Open two years ago, when lower-back pain forced him out during the first round. Withdrawals at the 2010 and 2011 Players Championship and the 2012 WGC-Cadillac Championship were not because of back issues.

The first time Woods withdrew from a tournament because of back problems was at the 2014 Honda Classic, when he left with just a few holes to play in the final round.

A week later, he competed at Doral and was in contention through three rounds. On the last day he dealt with more back problems, shot 78 and didn't make a birdie. A few weeks later, Woods had the first of three back surgeries.

That tournament was also the last time Woods failed to make a birdie in a round, as was the case Thursday.

If Woods is able to keep his schedule, he would compete at the Genesis Open starting Feb. 16, and then the following week at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Trump administration imposes new Iran sanctions over missile tests

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Trump administration imposed new sanctions Friday on nearly two-dozen individuals and companies in response to Iran's recent missile tests, quickly moving to increase the pressure on the regime after putting Tehran "on notice" earlier this week.

The U.S. Navy also moved a destroyer into position off the coast of Yemen, amid deep concerns over Iran's support for Shiite rebels there who recently attacked a Saudi naval vessel.

"Iran's continued support for terrorism and development of its ballistic missile program poses a threat to the region, to our partners worldwide and to the United States," John E. Smith, the Treasury Department's acting sanctions chief, said in a statement.

The Treasury Department announced the additional sanction targets -- 13 individuals and 12 companies -- late Friday morning.

Those targeted include various agents, companies and associates involved in procuring ballistic missile technology for Iran. The named Iranian, Lebanese, Chinese and Emirati individuals and companies also are now blacklisted from doing any business in the United States or with American citizens.

The president's national security team had previewed possible action earlier in the week, with National Security Adviser Michael Flynn saying Iran was "on notice" and Trump warning Friday morning on Twitter that Iran was "playing with fire" with its recent actions.

The sanctions, coming in the first weeks of Trump's term, reflect his administration's desire to take a strong stance toward Iran from the start. Throughout his campaign, Trump accused the Obama administration of being insufficiently tough on Iran and vowed to crack down if elected.

The move won praise from Republican allies in Congress.

"This announcement makes clear that it is a new day in U.S.-Iran relations and that we will no longer tolerate Iran's destabilizing behavior," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said in a statement. "A coordinated, multi-faceted effort to pushback against a range of illicit Iranian behavior is long overdue."

Trump's team stepped up its approach toward Iran in the wake of ballistic missile tests and the recent attack on a Saudi naval vessel by Tehran-backed militants in Yemen.

Military officials told Fox News that Iran has conducted two recent missile tests, one on Dec. 6 and another this past Sunday.

Meanwhile, a defense official told Fox News that the USS Cole, the same warship attacked in Yemen in 2000, is now patrolling off the coast of that country in the Gulf of Aden.

A senior administration official said they are prepared for further sanctions against Iran.

None of the new sanctions announced Friday appear to reverse the Obama administration's suspension of sanctions as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Nevertheless, the action will almost surely increase tensions with Iran.

The Islamic republic has insisted that new sanctions violate the deal and that it has the right to conduct ballistic missile tests now that its nuclear program has been sharply curtailed. The U.S. and Western countries argue otherwise, noting that Tehran agreed to an eight-year extension of a ban on ballistic work in nuclear negotiations two years ago. That agreement was concluded in parallel, but separately to the nuclear accord.

Shortly before Friday's announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif defended his country's actions, saying on Twitter: "Iran unmoved by threats as we derive security from our people. We'll never initiate war, but we can only rely on our own means of defense."

Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a critic of the Iran deal, praised Friday's announcement as a "good start" but warned the "procurement networks" targeted could be reconstituted.

"The Trump administration should adopt ideas promoted by Congress that sanction key nodes of Iran's economy and the international companies involved in supporting Tehran's missile program. Unless the Iranian regime pays a severe price for its malign activities, they are unlikely to stop," he said in a statement.
