In Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. President Trump is writing online this morning about the war against Iran. He complained about Britain and France, which he described as, quote, unhelpful. Trump wrote that countries that desperately need jet fuel to either buy it from the US or go to the Strait of Hormuz and, quote, just take it. Separately, Pakistan says it's still prepared to host a meeting between the US And Iran, but there's no sign that a meeting is happening. And NPR's Aya Batrawi reports it's unclear if the U.S. will use its troops to seize Kharg island near the Strait of Hormuz.

The Trump administration says U.S. diplomacy is working and they say that's why some ships are moving through the strait. Iran, though, says there are no talks with the US and it is controlling the strait. Pakistan says Iran agreed to let an additional 20 Pakistani ships pass through the strait, but that's just two a day. That's a fraction of what was passing before this war.

NPR's Aya Batrawi reporting. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that President Trump has told aides he is open to ending the US Military campaign against Iran, even if the Strait of Hormuz remains mostly closed. NPR has not confirmed this report. TSA workers are starting to get back pay after President Trump signed an executive order. From member station WABE in Atlanta, Marlon Hyde reports.

after days of long security lines. At Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, a spokesperson says wait times are now under 10 minutes at all checkpoints. 65 year old Carol Knowles just arrived back to Atlanta. She says the security lines look unrecognizable from last week.

Well, I was getting ready to take some pictures myself. Like, is this the same airport? That's how good it looks.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are still around, even checking IDs at security checkpoints with no word on when that deployment will end. The union representing TSA officers says that while employees are starting to receive pay for previous weeks, it is not everything they are owed. For NPR News, I'm Marlon Hyde.

Employment the Supreme Court hears arguments tomorrow on the issue of birthright citizenship. NPR's Domenico Montanaro reports. Public opinion is split on whether this right should continue.

Domenico Montanaro
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 plummets. A Pew Research center poll, for example, found that 9 in 10 say they support automatic citizenship for those born to U.S. 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 YouGov survey found even less support. When there's that kind of variance, political messaging becomes even more of a factor in shaping public opinion. Domenico Montanaro, NPR News, Washington.

Teni (quoted player)
Before we got to the five minute mark, we wanted to be up by 20. Teni literally said that in the hundo before we got to the 5 minute mark in the fourth quarter, we will be up by 20. And that's what we did from clinching
