He also called the country's new plan to impose tolls on the strait illegal.

Rubio also said Iran would need to stop building missiles capable of attacking Gulf neighbors.

And even though Gulf nations are taking Iranian fire for a war they didn't start, there are some indications they don't want it to end right now either.

AP reports that nearby countries are privately urging Trump to continue fighting until Iran's regime is weakened further.

The BBC's Frank Gardner, a longtime expert on the region, told the network he'd heard something similar from his sources on a recent visit.

Gulf states continued to absorb drone and missile attacks last night.

NASA astronauts are getting ready for their first moon mission in over 50 years.

The last time NASA went to the moon was the Apollo 17 mission, which landed on its surface back in 1972.

But tomorrow, if all goes according to plan, a group of four astronauts will leave on a 10-day lunar flyby mission.

They'll go around the moon, this time without landing, and splash back into the Pacific Ocean.

One of the crew members, Reid Wiseman, hyped up a crowd at a press conference last week.

To get a better sense of the why and why now of the mission, we spoke to Lauren Grush, a space reporter with Bloomberg.

During a part of the mission, they're going to swing behind the moon where they'll briefly lose contact with mission controllers.

The closest they'll actually get to the lunar surface is about 4,000 to 6,000 miles.

The mission is just one part of NASA's ambitious and expensive plan to build out a moon base and launch multiple landing missions each year.

Ultimately, NASA hopes it can explore the potential presence of water on the moon, develop technology for more ambitious space travel, and simply develop a greater understanding about the Earth's history.

In the past, the U.S.

was in competition with the Soviet Union for space dominance.
