Today at a White House press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump began his remarks by praising the U.S. Epic Fury military assault on Iran, saying that, “The entire country can be taken out in one night, and that could be tomorrow night.” He was referring to his deadline of demanding Iran comply with his demands by Tuesday evening April 7. Towards the end of his hour and 20 minute media event, he repeated that, “Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’-clock midnight tomorrow,” if Iran does not comply. “Every power plant will be out of commission by 12 o’-clock midnight.”
This was the tenor throughout the press conference, whose focus was to praise the power of the U.S. military, in particular, for its search and rescue of the missing U.S. crewman who had bailed out when his F-15E Strike Eagle jet was gunned down April 3 over Iran. The three others who spoke alongside Trump were Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Cain.
Hegseth was in full manic praise of his warped idea of military might, saying that, “When our warriors are unleashed, as this President has allowed them to be, they are unstoppable.”
