It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is The Five.

A few hours from now, President Trump will address the nation on critical developments on Operation Epic Fury.

Earlier today, he said Iran is begging for a ceasefire, but the U.S.

will bomb the regime, quote, back to the Stone Ages until the Strait of Hormuz opens.

Here's the president promising to finish the job.

President Trump also putting NATO allies on notice, suggesting that he may pull the U.S.

out of the alliance if they aren't pulling their weight.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoing those concerns last night.

And Democrats are pouncing on gas prices hitting $4, but the president is firing back, saying the pain at the pump will be over in no time.

Dana, it's a big thing anytime a commander in chief asks for prime time, which is what he's getting.

Yeah, that's a great point.

12,300 targets struck, 13,000 combat flights, 155 Iranian vessels sunk.

Jesse, we'll no doubt hear about the extraordinary success of our military.

Sounded good.

You know, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, Jessica.

That's a premise we've agreed upon for decades.

And this is the first president that's come from a position of strength to put facts and a footnote to that premise.

But Democrats are pouncing.

So you may pounce if you so choose.

I know.
