It will be nice that the POTUS is bothering himself to address the nation on the war he has to started.

It smells like Piggy will declare victory and stop bombing Iran. You know, surrender.

What will Israel do?

What will Iran do?

Israel is committed to seizing Lebanese land; they are involved in a brutal close quarters land battle. That is not something easily stopped.

Iran is on the verge of having unfettered access to Israeli, Gulf States and American bases' air spaces.

Will Iran stick by their ally Hezbollah?

Clearly Iran will keep control of the strait.

Does Iran stop sending missiles but prevent traverse of the strait by US allied ships?

What does stopping bombing Iran actually mean? Like ok we stop bombing them, but Iran bombs us?

Iran's says Elon Musk's Starlink a legitimate target'
Iranian state media is reporting that US billionaire Elon Musk's satellite internet infrastructure, Starlink, across the region is now "among Iran's legitimate" targets.

The Fars news agency published an infographic, saying Starlink has a presence in countries like Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The usage of Starlink in Iran is punishable by up to two years' imprisonment.

Despite the threat, some people continue to use it to send communication abroad amid the ongoing internet blackout imposed by the Iranian government

@#1 ... Anyone want odds? ...

That's the huge problem our NATO allies have been facing.

i.e., why should we commit our troops to a war when Pres Trump is not even able to state the goals of the war?

I can't imagine this is announcing ground assault. That would be odd, especially since a ground assault would result in casualties.

Surrender without any hint of agreement by Iran seems odd too

Probably gonna be a nothing burger, we blew up this and that and we therefore are stopping bombing at 12 pm EST.

Will he try to hawk merchandise?

He probably just booked a time slot so he can take credit/blame Biden for the Artemis launch from the DJT Space Center.

Trump is going to get on television to tell the nation what he did in Iran, despite our disapproval; and what he will do next, despite our disapproval.

Or maybe he'll just whine about his effing ballroom for thirty minutes.

This man is not our president. He's a silly, dangerous, dictatorial pig.

Dummkopf Trumpf has a long, busy day today.

The Dotard is supposedly going to attend a SCOTUS session or hearing today.

Then he's going to bleat at the American people his lies, distortions, and propaganda.

I don't watch TV, but I bet there's a baseball game on tonight.

Trump says will consider alleged ceasefire request when Hormuz Strait is open'
After claiming that Iran asked for a ceasefire, Trump added in his social media post that he will consider it "when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear".

"Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion."

Nothing like consistency
