President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a live news conference on Monday after making threats against Iran in an expletive-laden ultimatum during an Easter Sunday message. The president announced the safe rescue of the second crew member from the F-15 jet shot down over Iran early Sunday morning on his Truth Social platform. He praised the United States Military for the daring Search and Rescue Operation. Later, Trump announced a live news conference at the Oval Office with the Military scheduled for Monday.
In a subsequent post, Trump threatened Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face consequences by Tuesday. US and Israeli strikes continued over the weekend, but reports indicated a new ceasefire proposal. Trump is expected to speak about the Iran situation at 1 p.m. on Monday from the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room in the White House. The briefing will be live-streamed on WhiteHouse.gov and major news networks like CNN Live and ABC News Live.
