to end the war in Iran. He claims progress has been made, but he also says it's a straight

up for moves does not open for business immediately. More attacks will come. Here's

in Pierce, Deepa Shiveroff. Trump posted on social media that a deal with Iran will probably be reached, but if it doesn't, he says the U.S. will resume attacks on Iran, specifically on their electrical plans, oil wells and cargo island. Trump says the island holds a large majority of Iran's oil exports. He also threatened Iran's desalination plans. The president had previously said that Iran had until April 6th to open the street. The White House

did not respond to request for comment on whether Trump's newest post negates that initial deadline. Deepa Shiveroff and Piano's the White House. President Trump repeating his threats against Iranian power plants and oil wells authorities and Dubai. Say, a fully loaded oil tanker was hit by an Iranian drone strike Monday,

sparking a fire. It's already, say, the fires under control and no injuries have been reported.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on birthright citizenship on Wednesday and PR's Dominican Montenaro reports a public opinion is split on whether the practice should continue. A majority of Americans say they're in favor of automatic citizenship for children born in the United States when asked about it generally. But when asked more specifically about those who are born to people in the country without legal status or who cross the border illegally,

that support plummetes. A Pew Research Center poll for example found that 9 and 10 say they support automatic citizenship for those born to US citizens, but they're split nearly half and half on it continuing to be granted to those whose parents are in the country illegally. A U.S. survey found even less support when there's that kind of variance, political messaging

becomes even more of a factor in shaping public opinion. Domentical Montenaro and PR News,

Washington, a Massachusetts man who received a pardon from President Trump, related to the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot has been sentenced to prison on new charges. It appears Tom Driesbach reports that the defendant pleaded guilty to possessing videos of child sexual abuse. Daniel Tochi was charged in connection with the Capitol riot, the attack that injured 140 police officers, and interrupted the certification of the 2020 election.

President Trump dismissed Tochi's case on his first day in office as part of his mass

partens for the rioters. Less than a year later, Tochi pleaded guilty to possession of videos and pictures of the sexual abuse of children as young as three years old. Now a federal judge in Massachusetts has sentenced him to four years in prison. He's among dozens of former January six defendants who have since been accused or convicted of additional crimes, including home invasion, threatening police, and molestation. Tom Driesbach and PR News. This is in PR.

Authorities and Texas say they're working to understand what led to a 15-year-old student to shoot a teacher and then pay to leave shoot himself. The shooting happened Monday morning at a high school near San Antonio. No other injuries were reported. The teacher was taken to a nearby hospital. The FBI says a man with an assault rifle who crashed his pickup truck into a synagogue near Detroit earlier this month was carrying out an attack in Spire by the militant group

Hezbollah. The head of the FBI into Detroit said Monday that the man made video recordings minutes before driving his truck loaded with fireworks and gasoline into the building. The truck caught fire, but did not explode none of the 150 children and staff members were injured.
