President Trump will address the nation on the Iran war. The White House describes the president’s prime time speech as “an important update on Iran.” On Tuesday, Donald Trump said U.S. forces could leave Iran in “two or three weeks” and be done with the conflict. The president also lashed out at American allies for not doing more to support the U.S. military’s war campaign. He said it’s up to other countries, not the United States, to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for oil tankers and other shipping.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Tuesday that Army pilots would not be punished after flying attack helicopters near singer Kid Rock's house over the weekend in an apparent show of support for the vocal backer of President Donald Trump. Hegseth's announcement, in a social media post, followed remarks by Trump who appeared to play down the incident near the musician's house in Nashville, Tennessee. "They probably shouldn't have been doing it. But they like Kid Rock. I like Kid Rock," Trump said. "Maybe they were trying to defend him." Reuters, citing a U.S. official, reported earlier on Tuesday that aircrew involved in the incident had been suspended after appearing to deviate from their mission. The U.S. military is supposed to be apolitical, loyal to the U.S. Constitution and independent of any party or political movement. Rock posted a video on X on Saturday, standing in front ?of his swimming pool and saluting one of the helicopters. Hegseth, who has a home in Tennessee, praised Kid Rock as he exonerated the crew. "Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots," Hegseth wrote on X. Military helicopters were also seen flying close to demonstrators in Nashville taking part in organized protests against Trump's policies that were part of the anti-Trump "No Kings" rallies that took place across the country. Reuters reported on Monday that the Army was investigating the incident and an Army spokesman declined further comment when contacted by Reuters on Tuesday. "Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements," U.S. Army spokesperson Major Montrell Russell said on Monday. "Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found. Until the review is complete, there will be no further comment," Russell added. Since being sworn in last year, Hegseth has moved quickly to reshape the military, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda and root out diversity initiatives he calls discriminatory. Democratic lawmakers have warned the Trump administration is increasingly trying to use the military for political gain. In his post about the helicopters, Rock took a swipe at Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, adding: "God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her."

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at tightening voting rules nationwide. The order calls for creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail-in ballots. It directs federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, to work with states on voter data and seeks to stop the Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to people not on approved lists. The order also calls for barcodes on ballot envelopes and threatens to withhold federal funding from states that do not comply. Democratic officials in several states, including Oregon, Arizona, and Maine, have already promised legal challenges, while legal experts question whether the order is constitutional.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. could end its military campaign against Iran within two to three weeks. Trump emphasized that recent operations have significantly disrupted Iran’s missile-making capabilities. “We're hitting them very hard. Last night we knocked out tremendous amounts of missile-making facilities, as you probably read or wrote,” he said. “We'll hit bridges and we've hit some, we'll hit some bridges, and we've got a couple of nice bridges in mind. But if they come to the table, that'll be good. But it doesn't matter whether they come or not, we've set them back. It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.” Addressing rising gas prices, Trump said, “We're at $4, yeah. And we have a country that's not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months.” When asked about Americans feeling the effects of higher fuel costs, he added, “And they're also feeling a lot safer.” Trump described the potential de-escalation as his clearest signal yet that the month-long conflict, which has reshaped the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets, could soon come to an end. “I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three… All I have to do is leave Iran and we'll be doing that very soon, and they will come tumbling down,” he said.

The U.S. Army has suspended the aircrew of two Apache attack helicopters that flew near the house of singer Kid Rock, seemingly in support of the vocal backer of U.S. President Donald Trump, a U.S. official said on Tuesday. Over the weekend, Rock posted a video on X showing two Army Apache helicopters flying next to his house in Nashville, Tennessee. The singer, standing in front of his swimming pool, can be seen saluting one of the helicopters. Military helicopters were also seen flying close to demonstrators in the city, who were taking part in organized protests decrying Trump's aggressive deportation efforts, war in Iran and other policies. The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not provide further details on the suspension. Reuters reported on Monday that the Army was investigating the incident and an Army spokesman declined further comment when contacted by Reuters on Tuesday. "Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations. An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements," U.S. Army spokesperson Major Montrell Russell said on Monday.

Over the weekend, as part of the anti-Trump "No Kings" protests, more than 3,200 events were planned in ?all 50 states. Two previous nationwide events attracted millions of participants. Local news said thousands took part in the weekend's protests in Nashville.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to suspend construction of a $400 million ballroom after it demolished the East Wing of the White House. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon in Washington granted a preservationist group’s request for a preliminary injunction that temporarily halts President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project. Leon wrote that the president is a steward of the White House, not its owner. The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued to obtain an order pausing the ballroom project until it undergoes multiple independent reviews and receives congressional approval.
