U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he will hold a press conference 'with military' at the White House after noon on Monday, an event in which it is expected the president will expand on the details of the ultimatum to Iran. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explained in a message on her X account that due to the high demand for questions from the press on Sunday, the U.S. leader will answer media questions about the Middle East conflict. Trump started the day by once again threatening Iran with 'hell' if they do not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by this Tuesday. The president gave an ultimatum for Tehran to open the passage for ships in the strait, or otherwise attack Iran's power plants and bridges. 'Tuesday will be the Power Plant Day and the Bridge Day, all in one, in Iran!', Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. Additionally, the president posted a message that could refer to the new deadline given to Iran, but without further context. 'Tuesday at 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time (12:00 a.m. GMT Wednesday)!', he wrote on Truth Social. 'There will never be anything like it!'
