Trump:

President Trump will be making a Speech to the Nation on Thursday evening, at 9 P.M. Eastern.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Several vessels violating regulations were targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, according to local sources cited by Tasnim News.

Democratic senators are pressuring the Pentagon to release its investigation into the Feb. 28 strike on a girls' school in Minab, which killed more than 175 children and teachers.

An initial U.S. probe found American forces were likely responsible due to outdated intelligence.

The Pentagon says the investigation is still ongoing, while Trump disputes U.S. involvement.

NEW: Trump has decided to support the bipartisan Russia sanctions bill that was led by Sen. Lindsey Graham.

The move, announced after Graham's death, is expected to make it easier for Congress to pass the legislation.

The bill would allow Trump to impose steep tariffs on countries that continue buying Russian oil, gas, and uranium, increasing pressure on Moscow over the war in Ukraine.

Senate leaders from both parties said passing the bill would honor Graham's legacy, and lawmakers are now working on final steps before a Senate vote.

Trump on Iran:

Pickaxe is a possible target for a nice, big, fat shot right into the front door.

Trump on Iran:

We took out about 25% of this regime.

Trump on Iran:

To them, deals are made to be broken.

They are extremely unreliable people.

Trump on Iran:

The memorandum of understanding was sort of a test.

They didn't honor the test.

Trump on Netanyahu:

I get along with Netanyahu very well.

Sometimes I disagree with him. I let it be known, and I be right.

Trump on Gaza:

Hamas are disarming. That doesn't mean they are going to.

A lot of progress was made.

Q: Is it time for the Iranians to go back into the streets?

Trump: They can't do that. They don't have guns.

Trump on Iran:

We're gonna hit 'em very hard tonight, and we're gonna hit 'em hard tomorrow.

And there's not a damn thing they can do about it.

They have nothing going other than they have big mouths.

Stephen Miller on Lindsey Graham:

He's someone we're still gonna be talking about 200 years from now.

Q: Is there anyone better than Netanyahu in Israel?

Trump: I don't know most of them. I think Bibi and I are good.

If there was someone weak instead of Bibi, Israel wouldn't exist today.

Trump:

The wrestler was one of the best wrestlers in the world.

They killed him and his two friends just because he spoke, not even that badly, about the regime.

Trump on Iran:

We are going to take out Pickaxe Mountain.

Let the Iranians know we are coming.

There is not a damn thing they can do about it!

Iran says it shot down a U.S. MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Darline Graham Nordone, Sen. Lindsey Graham's sister, to temporarily fill his U.S. Senate seat after Graham's sudden death.

CENTCOM:

At 4:45 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief's direction.

These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Hugh Hewitt to Trump:

Make American the official language of America, not English.

I think you ought to look at that because it's a good idea.
