And tonight, with more than 50,000 American troops now in. the region and thousands more arriving, is the president. considering options with troops on the ground there? As the president also now declares, a deal with Iran will. come -- quote -- "shortly.".

Matt Rivers from the region again tonight. Tonight, shocking new images of the vital U.S. radar jet destroyed in an Iranian attack. that also injured 15 American service members, five seriously. That U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry, its tail nearly severed. That distinctive radar dome that normally. rotates atop the aircraft, providing real-time battlefield. data on enemy positions and flight operations, seen on the ground at the Prince Sultan Air. Base in Saudi Arabia.

A U.S. official confirming to Reuters that an E-3. was damaged in the strike. With 50,000 U.S. service members now in the Middle East, tonight President Trump warning the U.S. will be "blowing up and completely obliterating. Iranian energy infrastructure and drinking water plants". if Iran doesn't reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz soon. The president also claiming a deal with Iran could come. shortly, saying the U.S. is in serious discussions with. a new and more reasonable regime to end our military.

operations in Iran. DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: They're. agreeing with us on the plan. We asked for 15 things, and, for the most part, we're going. to be asking for a couple of other things. NICK SCHIFRIN: But Iran, insisting there are no direct. talks with the U.S., saying the president's 15-point plan. includes many requests that are excessive, unrealistic and illogical. Our Rachel Scott pressing the White House today. So how do you square that? How do you explain that discrepancy between the two? I think the American people are smart enough. not to take the word of a terrorist regime.

that has chanted death to America. for 47 years at their word. And tonight, thousands more US forces. arriving in the Middle East, including the USS Tripoli, with 3,500 Marines and sailors as President Trump. weighs his next move. The New York Times now reporting hundreds of US Special. Operations forces, including Navy SEALs, are also. now in the region, and could be used to help reopen the. Strait of Hormuz, seize Iran's critical oil hub, Karg Island, or to hunt down Iran's highly enriched uranium.

Tonight smoke and flames billowing from this. oil refinery in Israel. And as Iran launches attacks around the region, a top Iranian. official tonight warning Iran is waiting for the arrival. of American soldiers on the ground to rain fire upon them. And tonight, amidst all this uncertainty, U.S. crude oil prices closing above $100 a barrel. for the first time since 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine. And gas prices in the U.S. now at $3.98 on average, with many drivers across.

the country already paying far more than that. All right, let's bring in Matt Rivers from the region. again tonight. Matt, with those prices you just reported. on and all this uncertainty involving oil and gas, you. have just learned tonight of a new attack on a ship near. that critical Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, that's exactly right, David. Just moments ago, the UK Maritime Trade Operations. Center reporting that another tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. has been hit by an unknown projectile. It sparked a fire on board. A clear reminder, David, that the straight remains.

extremely dangerous and effectively. closed David. Alright, Matt Rivers from the region reporting on the. war in Iran again tonight. Matt, thank you back here at home tonight. A student showing up to school and. shooting a teacher outside San Antonio, Texas, wounding that teacher who was then rushed to the hospital. The school on lockdown and here's. our chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tonight. This morning shots fired at a Texas. high school justice school is starting. Response do 3615 Mustang Vista for active shooter and the words.

that no parent wants to hear. A teacher was shot and she has been transported. to the hospital. Authorities were scrambling to get to the scene, the student, a 15 year old male, is believed to have shot. himself and died at the school. "So the student shot the teacher and then what we believe it. looks as though the student turned the gun on himself. and shot himself.". The high school placed on lockdown. "We heard like five big shots.

We didn't really know what happened. And then we looked down and then we saw our debate teacher. and she was like, "Get in the room, get in the room!". Distraught parents racing to the scene to find their child. Really sad that this is something that we have to think. about these days and that this is a reality for. our kids in school. David, authorities are investigating whether. there's a connection between the teacher and. the student and tonight David no word on the teachers condition.

>> Pierre Thomas reporting pierre thank you after. those long lines in chaos at us airports, the first TSA. paychecks are now beginning to arrive there have been. some delays for some of the workers tonight where. do those lines and wait times now stand with millions. traveling for spring break. Here's will reef. After hours long security lines and record-breaking. numbers of unpaid TSA officers calling out of work, tonight some relief, as TSA workers who have gone more.

than a month without a paycheck finally start getting paid. After President Trump's Friday night memo ordering. funds from the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill". be used to pay the workers. TSA officer Angela Grana says she got. her money by direct deposit this morning. It does not cover any overtime. It does not cover any shift differential, so it's no, not what I expected. DHS says most TSA employees received. a retroactive paycheck today that. included at least two full paychecks,

but a small population might see a. slight delay. What do you make of. the news that TSA officers are finally. going to start getting their paychecks? Right now we should have been getting it the whole time. But while TSA officers are getting paid, along with uniformed members of ICE, CBP, Secret Service and the Coast Guard, the support staff and other agencies. are not, including FEMA and CISA, the agency in charge of protecting. everything from the nation's cybersecurity to power grids. And until Congress can make a deal,

that won't change. At 45 days and counting, this is now the longest partial. government shutdown in history. And David, right now Congress is on that. two-week paid spring recess. So the White House and the union representing TSA workers both. calling on Congress to come back to the Capitol to. work out a deal, David. Will Reeve reporting tonight for us. Thank you, Will.

The Army adding that the helicopters were in. the Nashville area for a training exercise.

As for that flight attendant who went through it. all, David, thrown more than 320 feet conscious. the whole time. Her family says she's going to be in the. hospital here in New York for the foreseeable future. Her struggles far from over. David? It's just extraordinary. that she survived this, and we are rooting for. her, too, Aaron. Thank you.
