They would face very grave consequences, as you just laid out, by the 8 p.m.

deadline if they did not agree to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

And what did they do last night?

They agreed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Danny.

The world has just witnessed a historically swift and successful military triumph.

President Trump started Operation Epic Fury with strategic military objectives and the United States has clearly achieved them.

Take a couple more in the back.

It's something the president has discussed, and I think it's something the president will be discussing in a couple of hours with Secretary General Ruta, and perhaps you'll hear directly from the president following that meeting later this afternoon.

I have a direct quote from the president of the United States on NATO, and I will share it with all of you.

They were tested and they failed.

And I would add, it's quite sad that NATO turned their backs on the American people over the course of the last six weeks when it's the American people who have been defunding their defense.

As you know, President Trump will be meeting with Secretary Ruta in a couple of hours here at the White House.

And I know he looks forward to having a very frank and candid conversation with him.

Andrew, I think you should take a look at the actions of this president over the course of the past six weeks and the actions of our brave men and women in our United States military who have taken out, essentially taken out the military of a rogue Islamic regime that has chanted death to America for 47 years, that has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers over the course of the last five decades.

The president absolutely has the moral high ground

over the Iranian terrorist regime and for you to even suggest otherwise is frankly insulting.

In the blue, go ahead.

Again, these statements were put out 12 hours ago.

We expect that the Strait will be opened immediately.
