The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, mentioned the high demand for questions from the press, prompting Trump to address the Middle East conflict.
Trump reiterated threats towards Iran, warning of severe consequences if they do not reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday.
The President set a deadline for Tehran to allow passage through the strait, or face attacks on power plants and bridges in Iran.
Trump teased a «Power Plant Day» and a «Bridge Day» in Iran on Tuesday, hinting at significant actions.
Speculation arose about a new deadline hinted by Trump for Iran, with a cryptic message posted on his social media platform.
The rise in Texas Intermediate Crude oil prices to over $114 per barrel on Sunday followed the ultimatum, impacting the national gasoline average at $4.110 per gallon, as reported by AAA.
Closing the press conference, Trump hinted at the deployment of troops in Iran without elaborating further.
