What updates are there on the conflict with Iran?
An update on the conflict with Iran. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. In an address to the nation Wednesday night, President Trump promising that the conflict will be over in two or three weeks, saying the U.S. is close to achieving its objectives.
There were two main pillars of the president's address to the nation. There was the timeline and there was the passing of the torch. First, the timeline for wrapping up Epic Fury. We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. Next, the passing of the torch to countries to get more energy than the U.S. from the Strait of Hormuz. Go to the straight and just take it, protect it, use it for yourselves. Iran has been essentially decimated. Context offered from the commander-in-chief that World War I and World War II and Vietnam and Iraq all stretched on for years, but epic fury has gone just 32 days.
Fox's Peter Doocy.
What did President Trump say about the military objectives in the conflict?
Four astronauts taken off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Wednesday night for their mission to the moon, the first of its kind in over half a century. Fox weather's Brandi Campbell.
It's official. NASA has sent four astronauts into space on a 10-day journey with the goal of taking a test ride around the moon as part of the Artemis II mission. After some minor weather concerns and a couple of issues that were addressed in the last couple of hours of the countdown, the rocket finally made that rumble, taking off at 6.35 p.m. from Launch Complex 39B. NASA said this will help test the systems and hardware needed to continue sending astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the moon for scientific discovery. If everything goes as scheduled, the crew will splash down off the coast of San Diego on April 10th.
Current plans for at least one moon landing and potentially a second set for 2028. America's listening to Fox News.

The Supreme Court considering the case surrounding President Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship.
Justices on the Supreme Court had tough questions for both sides in oral arguments over President Trump's push to ban automatic citizenship for children born on U.S. soil. Arguing for the plaintiffs, ACLU attorney Cecilia Wong condemned the executive order.
Swaths of American laws would be rendered senseless. Thousands of American babies will immediately lose their citizenship. And if you credit the government's theory... the citizenship of millions of Americans, past, present, and future, could be called into question.
The government's lawyer urged the court to, quote, correct long-enduring misconceptions of the 14th Amendment's meaning. Trump attended the arguments, becoming the first sitting president to do so. Tonya J. Powers, Fox News.
Republicans in the House and Senate reached an agreement on funding for the Department of Homeland Security, Fox's Bill Malusian.
House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune are now on the same page, announcing a Trump-approved plan to pass a bill that would fund all of DHS except ICE and CBP. It's similar to the bill the Senate passed with Democratic support at 2 a.m. last Friday. Hours later, Speaker Johnson trashed that Senate bill. But now with President Trump's approval, Thune and Johnson say that Senate passed bill is the path forward and Democrats are claiming victory. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer writing on X quote, House Republicans caved. They've agreed to pass the Senate bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP that unanimously passed a week ago.
It's the longest DHS shutdown in history. President Trump saying in a Truth Social post that he wants the bill on his desk by June 1st.
