Trump holds press conference on Iran war, following profanity-laden threats on social media
Donald Trump is set to hold a press conference in the White House briefing room today at 1pm ET on the US-Israel war on Iran. He’s expected to provide an update on the weekend rescue mission to retrieve a crew member after a US F-15 jet was downed on Friday over Iran.
This also comes after the president issued a profanity-laden ultimatum to the Iranian regime on social media to reopen the strait of Hormuz, or face further strikes on energy sites and bridges across the country.
The president posted on Truth Social on Sunday: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell.”
We’ll bring you the latest lines as that gets under way.
