Tonight, Trump tries to flip the script on Iran, blocking the trade of her moves in a bid to get it reopened.

The big question is, will it work?

Plus, Congressman Eric Swalwell said to resign from the House in disgrace after mounting sexual assault allegations.

And now the director of the FBI is weighing in. And Trump feuds with

the Pope. The Trump's social media post has created an outcry over an AI image of picking

the president as Jesus. Tonight on Laura Coates Live.

Well, my opening statement tonight,

what do you call it when talks don't end with the deal that you wanted,

but the fighting doesn't fully resume?

Well, apparently you might call that a blockade.

President Trump is upping the ante in the Strait of Hormuz.

He is sealing off Iranian ports backed by U.S. military firepower.

He is threatening to blow up any Iranian ships that come near it.

And he says, America may not be going at it alone. Is it your anticipation as the President that other countries will assist in this effort

to blocky Iran and those?

Yeah, other countries are going to also.

Which countries, sir?

We don't need other countries, frankly, but they've offered the services.

We'll let it be known probably tomorrow.

We've heard something similar before. A few weeks ago, in fact, Trump claimed other nations would help escort ships through the strait.

But at the time, he didn't name any. And he ended up railing against NATO allies after they didn't budge on actual military commitments.

Now, either way, the United States has some serious force it could use.
