What did Trump announce about the U.S. military campaign in Iran?
I'm Traci Mumford. Today's Tuesday, April 1st. Here's what we're covering.
I just landed in Houston. This is where NASA's mission control is for its first moon mission with humans on board in more than 50 years.
My colleague Katrina Miller is on the ground in Texas to track the launch of the Artemis II mission. It's currently scheduled for tonight, barring bad weather or other complications. The capsule, which will be carried into space on a 300-plus-foot rocket, is set to travel around the moon, taking the astronauts farther from the Earth than anyone has been since 1972.
Four astronauts are flying aboard the spacecraft. They will launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They will loop around the Earth and then do a trans-lunar injection burn toward the moon. loop around the far side of the moon, and then around day 10, they will splash down off the coast of California. The crew will get to see and photograph the far side of the moon, the part that we never see from Earth with their own eyes. But ultimately, Artemis II is a test flight in a series of missions by NASA to return humans to the surface of the moon and then hopefully eventually someday travel beyond it.
The two-hour launch window will start tonight at 6.24 p.m. If all goes according to plan, this could pave the way for more Artemis missions. That includes two lunar landing attempts set for 2028 to meet President Trump's goal of sending astronauts back to the moon before the end of his term. The U.S.
What implications does the Supreme Court ruling on conversion therapy have?
has found itself in a space race once again, as China has said it's planning to try and land astronauts on the moon by 2030.
We're finishing the job, and I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer, to do the job.
In the Oval Office yesterday, President Trump said the U.S. will end its military campaign in Iran in the next few weeks. And he promised to address the nation tonight with what the White House says will be an important update on the war.
I had one goal. They will have no nuclear weapon. And that goal has been attained.
Trump declared that the U.S. has completely eliminated any nuclear threat from Iran, a claim that is not backed up by any evidence. Iran still has nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium, which could be used to build a nuclear weapon. Yesterday, the stock market surged amid hopes of the war ending soon. Trump's address is scheduled for 9 p.m.
How is Trump trying to control mail-in voting?
Eastern tonight.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon... Israel has issued these sweeping evacuation warnings for much of southern Lebanon, about 10% of the country. But our reporting has shown that in private, they're giving a more targeted message.
Christina Goldbaum covers Lebanon for The Times, and she's found that Israel isn't telling everyone to leave from the areas it's targeting. Israeli military officials have been calling several Christian and Druze communities and assuring them that they can stay and that they're actually only focused on driving Shiites out. Shiite Muslims are from the same sect as Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group Israel's fighting in Lebanon.
I went to Kalkaba, a Maronite Christian town near the border with Israel. It's a town that, after the last escalation between Hezbollah and Israel, had taken in around two dozen Shia families who had been displaced from their border village. When we were there, we were talking to the deputy mayor, who was telling us how Other villages nearby had gotten these calls from Israeli military officials telling them that if they had Shia who had been displaced living in their towns, they needed to tell them to leave.
