President Trump is scheduled to address the nation tonight with an update on the war in Iran, nearly five weeks into the conflict.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday that Trump would give an “important update on Iran.”
This comes as Trump threatens to escalate the war amid the deployment of thousands of additional troops and weighs his options to end the war or deploy boots on the ground. Trump has also given Iran until Monday, April 6, to stop blocking oil shipping in the Strait of Hormuz amid negotiations.
Trump said on Monday that he will escalate the war, targeting Iran’s energy and water infrastructure if they do not reach a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

On the deployment of ground troops, Trump told reporters the day prior, “I just have lots of alternatives,” also noting, “we have tremendous numbers of ships over there.”
Trump also told reporters that a deal with Iran “could be soon,” adding that the US is “weeks ahead of schedule.”
The President later suggested that he will withdraw troops from the Middle East and force Europe, Asia, and the Gulf nations to deal with Iran’s blockade on the Strait of Hormuz after they refused his calls for help.

“The U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” Trump said in a statement on Tuesday, offering to supply oil from the United States if the countries cannot “build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT.”

Meanwhile, the US military has seemingly accomplished its military goals of decimating Iran’s missile infrastructure, naval forces, air force, and nuclear capabilities, according to the Pentagon, as well as regime change.
The president is slated to speak at 9 pm ET.
