The White House says President Trump will address the country tonight about the U.S.

and Israeli war in Iran.

President Trump has appeared to reverse himself.

He originally said he wanted Iran's unconditional surrender.

Yesterday, Trump said he's now ready to end the war.

But a short time ago, President Trump wrote online, he is now claiming that Iran's new leader has just asked the U.S.

for a ceasefire.

Trump says the U.S.

will consider that when the Hormuz Strait is reopened.

Trump says until then, the U.S.

is, quote, blasting Iran into oblivion.

Just yesterday, Trump said the Strait was a problem for France or for other countries, not for the U.S.

Iran's officials have said they are not in negotiations with the U.S.

The Supreme Court hears arguments this morning in a case testing President Trump's efforts to make it more difficult for children born in the U.S.

to become citizens.

NPR's Nina Totenberg reports on the case over the 14th Amendment and birthright citizenship.

Election officials say they'll challenge President Trump's decision to have the federal government take a role in mail-in ballots.

Trump signed an executive order yesterday, but NPR's Ashley Lopez reports the Constitution says only state and local governments can run elections.
