President Donald Trump reportedly "expressed frustration" after the news media focused on the downing of an F-15E fighter jet in Iran.

NBC News said that Trump complained about the coverage during an interview on Friday.

Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin seemed to contradict President Donald Trump's claim that Iran was "not shooting" at U.S. forces.

After two U.S. aircraft went down near Iran on Friday, Griffin indicated that search teams were still trying to rescue one crew member.

U.S. forces reportedly struck an Iranian highway twice on Thursday while people celebrated the final day of Persian New Year.

A U.S. military official claimed the bridge was a military supply route for Iran's missile and drone forces, but Iran's deputy governor denied the characterization, stating the bridge was not operational and "there was absolutely no military activity." This drew backslash against President Donald Trump's Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is being mocked behind his back by servicemembers, who have come up with a devastating new nickname for the Pentagon under his leadership, according to The Daily Beast.

Per the report, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), a Marine combat veteran, confirmed to MS NOW reporters that, “I know active-duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s department as the Department of War Crimes. That’s because they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime.”

President Donald Trump's executive order demanding states put new procedures in place for mail-in voting and turn over information about who is voting by mail is almost certain to be struck down in court, Jim Saksa wrote for Democracy Docket on Friday — but that's not the only way it could derail Trump's ambitions.

That's because this order could also undermine one of the main arguments Trump's Justice Department has used in court to defend the lawsuits filed against dozens of states to seize their voting rolls.

A second Air Force combat aircraft reportedly crashed on Friday at the "same time" that an F-15E fighter jet went down in Iran.

The New York Times reported that the second aircraft went down in the Persian Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. The pilot was recovered, the report said. An A-10 Warthog attack plane was said to be involved in the crash.

Data journalist and pollster Elliott Morris was taken aback on Friday after new polling showed President Donald Trump receiving his single-lowest favorability rating of his political career, and the lowest of any past president at this point in their term since the 1940s.

According to the polling aggregator FiftyPlusOne, as of Thursday, Trump’s net approval had sunk to -21.4, with 37.2% approving of his job performance and 58.6% disapproving.
