The nation will be sitting on the edge of their chairs as Donny tells us what he has planned for the Iran War tonight.
President Trump says the end of the Iran war is near, and the White House says plans to explain what comes next in a prime-time address Wednesday night. In a post on X, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump “will give an Address to the Nation to provide an important update on Iran” at 9pm Eastern. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said the US would wind down its military campaign in Iran within “two or three weeks” and again brushed off the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a problem mainly for other nations.
- “We will be leaving soon,” Trump said, though the New York Times reports that he mentioned different timelines. He said it would be “maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job. But we want to knock out every single thing they have.”
- Trump, who has repeatedly cited four or five objectives for the war, said he “had one goal: They will have no nuclear weapon and that goal has been attained,” the AP reports. Later Tuesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the US was ahead of schedule with multiple objectives, including wiping out Iran’s missile and drone factories, CNN reports. “We’re well on our way. We are on or ahead of schedule on each of those four objectives and we can see the finish line. It’s not today, it’s not tomorrow but it’s coming,” Rubio told Sean Hannity in a Fox News appearance.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told European Council President Antonio Costa on Tuesday that Iran had the “necessary will” to end the conflict with the US and Israel if “guarantees” were in place, Euronews reports. “We possess the necessary will to end this conflict, provided that essential conditions are met, especially the guarantees required to prevent repetition of the aggression,” Pezeshkian said, according to a statement from his office.
- On the ground, the fighting showed little sign of wrapping up on Tuesday, the Times reports. A large airstrike hit the Iranian city of Isfahan, triggering a massive blast, and a Kuwaiti oil tanker went up in flames after a drone attack at a Dubai port, which Kuwaiti officials blamed on Iran. In Washington, Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the US has begun flying B-52 bombers over Iran for the first time in the conflict, describing it as evidence that Iranian air defenses have been badly weakened.
Will this be a typical Donny self love fest or will he give the nation the straight skinny?
My guess is the former not the later…..he has not giving the nation the straight skinny for over a year.
Will there be hints at US Troops on the ground?
So many questions with few answers forthcoming.
I will be watching and writing. (so you do not have to)
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I don’t think Trump would know truth from fiction if you tatooed it on his knee caps. He makes it up as he goes, apparently, and you have to wonder which story to reject outright and which to back away from carefully…
So true Judy….one reason I write to push back on what I see as BS. chuq
Those B-52s and B1 Lancers have been flying out of RAF Fairford in the UK, 20+ of them based there to date. Making a lie of Starmer’s claims that the UK is not involved in the war on Iran. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/us-air-force-stockpiling-bombers-united-kingdom-sa-033026
Let’s see what crap he spouts tonight!
Best wishes, Pete.
I will be watching and writing…..he will spread his manure as usual. chuq
Every single word out of his mouth is a lie. For those supporters who are seeing prices skyrocket and our soldiers dying for no reason, hope you are happy with your role in destroying the fabric of our country/
John from what I see they are perfectly fine with his antics…..just can’t fix stupid. chuq
I think we need to get ready for a ground assault. There are 55,000 ground troops already stationed in the middle east and that number has been increasing steadily as they move more forces into the area.
Word now is that the Pentagon is going to be launching a ground assault to try to capture Iran’s uranium stockpile. (“Nuclear dust” is what Trump calls it. He’s probably pissed that Starmer wom’t give him enough Dyson vacuums to suck up the “dust” for all I know.) How reliable those reports are, I have no idea. But considering the buildup of troops and other things that we do know about for sure,
One thing we can be sure of is that he doesn’t have a clue as to what’s really going on. All he’s doing is parroting what his handlers tell him at this point because he can’t be trusted with any actual information any more. He reminds me more and more of a certain dictator who’s name I won’t mention, who was sitting in his hide away while his whole world crumbles around him, having wet dreams over massive, monumental building projects to prove how great he was.
side note: McCormick, a republican representative from Georgia, yesterday claimed that we “won” the Vietnam war. And they actually elected someone that stupid to the US Congress.
It is looking like a certainty….we may kno0w more tonight….I saw what the idiot said….I wouldn’t expect less from a GOPer. chuq
IMO, he want to end this “war” because of his ratings … not because of any so-called U.S. victories. And the fact that he’s saying it’s all going to be over in 2-3 weeks is because he actually believes the troops will just walk in and take over. While I appreciate the might of our military, when they are not given clear and concise orders, how can they possibly do their job?
Nan that has been the problem for decades….they want war but have no idea how to conduct one or for that matter end one. chuq
He just asked for another trillion dollars….for defense…telling us all that we can no longer afford to subsidize many of our national social safety net services …
Again John this has been their promise for many decades. chuq
