.@KristenhCNN asks Trump if he's willing to make a deal that does not include reopening the Strait of Hormuz, or if that is now a top priority. Trump's response: "I would say it's a very big priority," but acknowledges the strait is more complicated to deal with than establishing air and naval superiority

.@JuliaBenbrook asks President Trump what his baseline is for ending the war; “Where they're not going to be starting the following day to develop a nuclear weapon.” “When basically I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever, for a very long period of time of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States, Israel, or any of our allies.”

Noem's first comment on her ouster >
Special Envoy Kristi Noem@EnvoyNoem

Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise, I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security. We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion and revitalized the U.S. Coast Guard.

Rubio notified at least some members of the Gang of Eight in advance of the strikes in Iran — but they were not given a full accounting of the legal justification, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell @mkraju @ZcohenCNN & me. House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Mark Warner all received a heads up, sources familiar with the matter said Earlier this week, members of the Gang of Eight – the top lawmakers from both parties who serve on congressional intelligence committees, as well as party leadership – asked that they be notified before any strikes

News: President Trump commented on the Supreme Court ruling striking down his tariffs while inside the White House breakfast with governors this morning, calling it a "disgrace," I'm told. He told those gathered that he has a backup plan.

Trump is weighing a series of potential military options in Iran following deadly protests in the country, two US officials tell me, as he considers following through on his recent threats to strike the country should they use lethal force against the Iranian people. Trump was briefed in recent days on different plans for intervention, they said, as violence in the country has led to dozens of deaths and arrests. Some of the discussions have also included options that do not involve direct US military force, one of the officials said.
