What is the latest update on the conflict in Iran?
An important update on Iran. I'm Sue Guzman, Fox News. President Trump planning to address the nation in a primetime speech tonight in the conflict in Iran. He was asked by reporters Tuesday when Operation Epic Fury will come to an end.
We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job.
The address sat for 9 p.m. Eastern. The president lashing out at U.S. allies who did not fully support the U.S.-Israel action against Iran and calls to assist in opening the Strait of Hormuz. He said on Truth Social, the hard part's done.
What did President Trump say about Operation Epic Fury?
Go get your own oil. Iran continuing to target ships in the Persian Gulf as President Trump gives a new timeline for the conflict in the Middle East. Fox's Mike Tobin with more from Tel Aviv.
Another tanker ship has been hit, this one 17 miles north of Doha in the Persian Gulf. The ship was hit above the waterline with some kind of projectile. No oil spill known, and the crew is okay. Meantime, the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Araqshi, told Al Jazeera that there indeed has been communications with the United States in the form of messages exchanged with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. However, Araqshi says the messages do not constitute negotiation. And with the president saying the war here will conclude in two to three weeks, Secretary Marco Rubio says one way or another, the end is in sight.
The president has pressed American allies to assist in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, arguing Europe relies on the shipping lane more than the U.S. does. And the Army pilots who hovered two helicopters near Kid Rock's Tennessee home during a training run over the weekend, while he clapped and saluted, have now had their suspension lifted. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth making the announcement on social media after it was first announced that the crews were suspended pending an investigation. America's listening to Fox News.

President Trump signing an order tightening rules on mail-in voting nationwide.
An executive order directs federal agencies to create a national list of eligible voters in each state to verify vote-by-mail ballots.
Cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It's horrible what's going on.
President Trump has long complained about voting by mail, alleging that it allows fraud, despite few cases of such. The order also requires ballots to have secure envelopes, traceable with barcodes.
And remember, it's about voter integrity. We want to have honest voting in our country.
The order is likely to face legal challenges states are largely responsible for conducting elections.
How is Iran impacting shipping in the Persian Gulf?
At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News.
President Trump's expected to be in attendance today as the Supreme Court hears arguments challenging his push to limit birthright citizenship.
The court will hear arguments over President Trump's executive order signed on the first day of his second term that denies U.S. citizenship to children born to a mother in the country illegally and a father who is either not a citizen or a lawful permanent resident. The class action lawsuit challenging it was brought by the ACLU and other groups on behalf of three plaintiffs who had children last year who were at risk of being denied citizenship. Lower courts have ruled that the action violates or likely violates the 14th Amendment. The court will live stream the audio of the session on its website at SupremeCourt.gov. Tanya J.
