Claim 1: “A press conference is scheduled for Monday to outline the US strategy”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one source mentions the White House 'teased something big coming up' on a Monday regarding Trump's decision on Iran, there is no specific confirmation across multiple sources of a scheduled 'press conference' to 'outline the strategy'. Other sources discuss the strategy generally or mention an 'announcement on Monday', but the specific format of a press conference is not corroborated by multiple independent sources.
