It will never be come true and justice will be under the low as Allah swt permitted us not Americans lier.
President Donald Trump is holding a news conference Monday in the White House briefing room, where he's giving more details on the "daring" weekend rescue of a U.S. airman whose fighter jet was shot down over Iran.
"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," Trump said.
Looming large over the president's comments, however, is his latest deadline for Iran to make a peace deal or reopen the Strait of Hormuz -- by 8 p.m. ET Tuesday -- or face massive U.S. attacks on critical infrastructure, including energy and water facilities.
"The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night," Trump said.

"Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!" Trump wrote in the post.
