Chapter 1: What are President Trump's objectives in the Iran conflict?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder. President Trump says Iran war objectives are nearing completion.
I've made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly.
Trump delivered a roughly 20-minute primetime speech from the White House. He repeated claims that the U.S. has destroyed Iran's military, urged patience with high costs brought on by the spike in oil prices, and said countries that receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz should take action to secure the passage.
Following the speech, oil prices rose above $105 a barrel and stocks in Asia losing ground after gains on Wall Street today. A majority of Supreme Court justices seem skeptical about the Trump administration's effort to limit birthright citizenship, including some nominated by President Trump. The outcome, though, remains far from certain. NPR's Kerry Johnson reports on the landmark arguments.
President Trump issued an executive order on day one that would end citizenship to babies born to people who are in the country illegally or here to work or visit on a temporary basis. If the Supreme Court agrees, that order could affect 250,000 babies born in the U.S. each year and potentially be used to help revoke the citizenship of many others born earlier.
Trump attended for the Solicitor General's arguments but left as Attorney Cecilia Wong made her case. for people challenging his order. Wong told the justices to agree with the president would radically rewrite the Constitution and upend more than 150 years of settled law. A decision is expected near the end of the Supreme Court term this summer. Carrie Johnson, NPR News.
Now to Florida, where an astronaut crew of four is on a mission to circle the moon, blasting off earlier this evening from the Kennedy Space Center. Central Florida Public Media's Brendan Byrne reports on the first human mission to the moon in more than 50 years.
And liftoff! The crew of Artemis II now bound for the moon.
NASA's massive SLS rocket roared to life at 6.35 local time, its twin solid rocket boosters and four engines cracking the air and lifting the Orion space capsule and its crew into space under a fiery orange trail. They are embarking on a nearly 10-day mission that will slingshot the crew around the moon and back, testing key systems of the Orion spacecraft.
