US strike hits Iran nuclear site as gas tops $4; Trump unveils Miami library tower

A massive fireball over Iran. The U.S. hits a key nuclear site. What the military targeted and what's left

Plus, lawmakers leave town. The shutdown stays. My homeland security remains in limbo with no deal in sight

And low fly, close pass. Kid Rock salutes and the Army now wants answers

The stories that matter, clear and credible from across the country to around the world

These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelly

This morning, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chair General Dan Cain are set to brief reporters on the war in Iran

It follows another night of strikes between the United States, Israel and Iran

A massive fireball lit up the central Iranian city of Ifsafan. Look, video shared by President Trump on social media

Ifs Fahan is home to one of Iran's key nuclear sites, targeted by U.S. strikes last June, you'll recall

where highly enriched uranium is believed to be stored or buried. Iranian state media also reported explosions across Tehran

with temporary power outages after shrapnel hit an electrical substation. Oil infrastructure is also taking major hits

Iran attacked Israel's Haifa refinery on Monday, and a Kuwaiti supertanker was hit off the coast of Dubai

No injuries or leaks reported, but state media says the ship was fully loaded at the time

Back here at home, gas prices are climbing. The national average has now topped $4 a gallon, according to AAA

a new high during the Trump era, and up by more than a dollar a gallon since the war started

President Trump is now calling on Congress to return early from its two-week recess

and pass a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Lawmakers left Capitol Hill without a deal, extending what is already the longest partial

government shutdown in U.S. history. The Senate passed a funding bill last week

but the House rejected it before leaving for Easter break on Friday

Speaker Mike Johnson called the Senate plan a joke Senators also held a brief pro forma session but did not take up the House version White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says Trump wants lawmakers to get back to Washington

He said that he'll host a big Easter dinner here at the White House if Congress will come back and fight the Democrats on this issue

which we should do because, again, the Democrat Party is in the wrong here. They have voted seven times against funding the Department of Homeland Security

which is completely egregious with everything we have going on in the world. And these brave men and women who serve DHS deserve to get their paychecks

The president wants to see that happen, and he wants Congress to come back to get it done. Before the recess, Trump said Congress should stay until a deal was reached

but he had not publicly called them back since they left. While he signed a measure to restore pay for TSA workers

helping to ease long lines at airports, thousands of other DHS employees are still going without pay

after more than a month. The Israeli parliament has approved a controversial law allowing the

death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks. The Knesset passed the measure

after hours of debate with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the chamber for the vote

Lawmakers approved at 62 to 48. The law makes the death penalty by hanging the default punishment

for Palestinians in the West Bank convicted of nationalistic killings. Judges can still impose life sentences in limited cases

The push was led by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gavir, who celebrated with supporters after the vote

They believe the law strengthens deterrence and sends a clear message. Some backers say it's long overdue

Others in the chamber warned it goes too far and could create legal and international consequences

Critics say the law is written in a way that largely applies to Palestinians

Military courts, which try West Bank Palestinians, would use it as the default sentence

Israeli civilians are tried in different courts with more discretion. In a statement, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said

This law once again reveals the nature of the Israeli colonial system which seeks to legitimize extrajudicial killing under legislative cover The law is already facing legal challenges Civil rights groups in Israel have moved to block it

International leaders have also weighed in, warning the law violates global standards on

the death penalty. By the way, Israel has carried out only one execution in its history in 1962

The law is set to take effect in 30 days, but legal challenges could delay or stop it

In Tennessee, the Army is reviewing a training flight after two attack helicopters flew low

and hovered outside Kid Rock's home, video that he posted himself. You're about to see clips the Rocker shared right here on X

They show two Apache helicopters flying low and hovering just off his property near Nashville

as he salutes and gestures toward the pilots. Army officials say the aircraft were on a training mission out of Fort Campbell

They fly routes in the Nashville area, but are now reviewing why the helicopters were operating that close to a private home

The same flight path also crossed over a No Kings protest in Nashville that day

The Army says that was not part of the mission. In a statement, a spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division said, quote

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

Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found. The Army says Kid Rock did not request the flyover

The entertainer has long been a supporter of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. Now investigators are looking at whether the flight followed standard procedures

Meantime, farther south, Florida is moving ahead with a plan to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald Trump

Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill on Monday. The name change is set to take effect on July 1st

The FAA says airport naming is a local decision, so no federal approval is required

But officials still have to update signs systems and secure rights to use Trump name The move would put the president name on another major landmark near Mar where he lives and often travels Florida Republicans call it a tribute Democrats call it a political stunt and are raising questions about the cost of rebranding

Trump's family business says it won't take any royalties or fees from the change

And a timing note, the renaming comes as Trump-related trademarks are filed for

airport branding, including products like luggage, watches, clothing, even pet apparel. Finally this morning, President Trump still has more than two years left in office

but he and his family are already looking ahead to how his presidency will be remembered

The president posted a video on Truth Social showing renderings of a massive skyscraper in

Miami with Trump in large block letters across the top, similar to his hotels. The downtown

Tower would house his presidential library, rising over Biscayne Bay. Inside, plans call for a large

atrium with U.S. military aircraft, including the Boeing 747 that Qatar gifted the White House

for use as Air Force One. The administration says that plane would eventually be moved to the library

after Trump leaves office. Renderings also show a replica of the Oval Office with heavy gold trim

and gold drapes. The project would be built on a 2.6-acre site provided by Miami-Dade College

The Miami Herald reports the foundation behind the project is looking to raise more than $1

billion to build it. All right, before we head out, here's what we're tracking today
