President Trump will hold a news conference at his Trump National Doral golf club in Miami, Florida, to provide an update on the ongoing war with Iran. The president is expected to take questions from reporters after previously stating that the war is "very complete, pretty much." The news conference comes as the U.S. and Israel continue strikes on Iran, and as the Department of Defense posted messages on X saying "We have Only Just Begun to Fight" and "no mercy."
Why it matters
This news conference will provide crucial updates on the escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has already resulted in the deaths of seven American service members. The president's remarks will be closely watched as he navigates the delicate geopolitical situation and its impact on global energy markets and the U.S. economy.
