The U.S. Army has launched an investigation into why several AH-64 โApacheโ Attack Helicopters with the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade were filmed circling and hovering outside the Nashville home of musician Robert Ritchie, known more commonly as Kid Rock, and flying low near protesters at a No Kings Rally in Clarksville, Tennessee on Saturday, while the helicopters were supposed to be on a training flight, according to the Washington Post.
โArmy aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism, and established flight regulations,โ said Maj. Montrell Russell, a Spokesman for the U.S. Army. โAn 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.โ According to the Army, the Apaches that flew by Kid Rockโs home were not part of an Army-sanctioned outreach event, and otherwise were not assigned a mission to monitor or otherwise disrupt the demonstrations in Tennessee.

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing officials with knowledge on the matter, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has told aides that he is willing to conclude operations against Iran even if it means leaving the Strait of Hormuz in a deadlock. Per the report, the administration assesses that operations to forcibly reopen the strait will likely extend the conflict past the previously established 4-5 weeks and that reaching the goals of severely degrading Iranian conventional military capabilities may be the the route to go. Additionally, according to the report, other military options on the table, including ground operations, are not the priorities right now of President Trump.
