A scheduled press briefing set to take place at 8 a.m. on Tuesday at the Pentagon has been canceled.
The briefing, which was to be conducted by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth alongside Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, was set to come just 12 hours before a deadline set by President Trump for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face bombardment on powerplant and bridge facilities.
A reason for the cancellation of Tuesday’s press briefing was not provided.
Earlier Monday, Trump appeared alongside Hegseth and Caine during a White House press briefing on Iran, where they discussed objectives as well as the extraction of an American airman who had been forced to eject from a fighter jet over Iran and had to be rescued Sunday.
Must be anticipating a hangover for Hegseth

Hegseth is already too drunk. They realized no way he’s up at 8 AM.

Are we gonna fucking nuke Iran

They though after threatening international war crimes this was going to be victory speech once the deadline was up. “Total victory! Mission accomplished!”
Iran didn’t flinch – now Trump either commits war crimes, or he keeps thumping his chest for the dumbest Americans and makes another ‘They agreed to my terms because I’m so awesome. It was a complete and total victory. We could be done with this by lunch if we wanted but we’re ahead of schedule and will be done in two or three weeks” statement.

Please TACO Tuesday. Because if they actually go through with these threats the damage done to the lives of millions of people will be harmed for years if not decades.

They need time to get their stock trades in before they order more foolishness around the world.

Is trump going to:
a) TACO
b) Fire Hegseth
c) Nuke Iran
d) A fourth even dumber option I haven’t thought of (Don’t tell me nothing’s dumber than nuking Iran – there is no bottom to the Abyss of Stupid we are falling into and you know it)

We’re about to do nuclear war because Massie and Khanna had the balls to start publicly naming Epstein’s co conspirators

If nuke is used, everyone better step up to remove that idiot from powerr thats just waaay too much

If we nuke Iran, Trump MUST be removed from office. A nuclear strike against an enemy without nukes is a line that cannot be crossed.
Fuck anyone who voted for this bullshit.

No president should make you feel this tense. Tomorrow 8 pm could be a nothingburger or the worst genocide since wwii. And… there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it.
The worst part is there is a good chance even the military has no idea. It’s all based on whatever mood the dementia patient is in at 8pm tomorrow.

I can appreciate that a lot of people are worried about what comes next, but even though these people are absolute trash, it’s really hard to picture them using a nuke in this situation. I remember the “bunker busters” that were used in Afghanistan. They were roughly described as having an explosive force similar to older nukes. I could see them using that kind of force, but dropping an actual nuke? That would doom any goodwill we have left in the world. It would be a complete disaster we might never recover from. You’d have to be seriously crazy.

Lots of speculation here about hangovers, firings or nukes or other escalations but guys, remember, this is the Trump Administration. It’s probably something really stupid, like Hegseth’s getting his butthole waxed by the best butthole waxer in town and he books out months in advance because his butthole wax jobs are just that good.
I have no idea if butthole waxing is even a thing, btw. You can insert some other beauty procedure in my post and the point still stands.

This specifically is likely war theatre and a stupid signalling to put pressure on the Iranian Regime. But it makes the mistake of thinking that they care.

This is so much god damn work just to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

A little bit ago, [Iran just bombed one of the largest oil facilities in Saudi Arabia](https://www.reddit.com/r/oil/s/YcI2NrRqKB). I wonder if they are retaliating. Scary times
