US President Trump started his press conference by praising the U.S. rescue operation over the weekend.
“We’re here today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing, combat searches, I guess you would call it a search-and-rescue mission, ever attempted by the military,” he said.
He also said of Iran: “The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.”
The U.S. president has threatened to rain “hell” on Tehran if it does not make a deal by 8 p.m. EDT on Tuesday (midnight GMT) to open the Strait of Hormuz.
