Trump says he will give primetime speech Thursday amid flare-up with Iran

Trump gave no reason for the speech as U.S. strikes on Iran continued and the administration moved to keep the Strait of Hormuz open.

  • President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social on Monday that he will deliver a Speech to the Nation on Thursday at 9 P.M. Eastern, though he provided no specific reason for the prime-time address.
  • Trump recently declared the United States the 'Guardian of the Hormuz Strait,' establishing a policy to keep the Strait open 'with or without Iran' while requiring other nations to reimburse 20% of cargo value for security.
  • This policy follows United States military strikes on Iran over the weekend, which officials cited as necessary to protect commercial shipping through the strategic waterway. Escalations in the war in Iran have dominated recent headlines.
  • The upcoming address recalls President Trump's remarks from the White House Cross Hall in April regarding the Iran war, marking another high-profile update on the conflict during intense military activity.
  • While the White House has not confirmed the subject of the remarks, the ongoing war in Iran and shifting maritime security policies remain central to the current agenda as observers await further details.
