He continues in his thirteen, and now sets the date, time and stage. The president of the United States has announced a press conference in the White House accompanied “with soldiers”, in which he is expected to detail his direct threat against Tehran.
The appearance, scheduled for Monday at noon, comes after a Sunday marked by increasingly harsh messages from the president, who has made it clear that the room for negotiation is running out.
“Tuesday will be the day”

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day all in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!”
The president demands that Iran reopen key to the global oil trade, or, otherwise, threatens to attack the country’s strategic infrastructure.

And now, with a time marked on the calendar, the question is no longer whether there will be an answer.
But what will happen when that Tuesday arrives.
