Trump to address nation with 'important update' on Iran war

By Daniel Hampton
Published March 31, 2026 7:57 PM ET

President Donald Trump will deliver a nationally televised address Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET to provide what the White House called an "important update" on Iran.

The announcement comes as the administration's military campaign against the country roils global energy markets and raises fears of broader regional conflict.

Trump has not indicated whether the address will include a major policy shift or battlefield update.

2. he's got a morning market to manipulate with his endless lies and nonsense, or
3. he/his inner circle have bets on Polymarket to win ever so bigly on.

Regardless, more distractions from the Epstein files and any sort of discussion about his (alleged) raping of children.

…”such a simple device. They hold a lot of paper; lot of paper. Stacks of paper which gives us great pause on how the greatest nation in the history of the world is bringing that greatness to the poor people of Iran….”
