Trump says 'core strategic objectives' in Iran are near completion, without providing precise timeline
Trump said U.S. forces have nearly reached their goals and warned strikes could continue for 2 to 3 more weeks.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump delivered his first primetime address since the Iran war began, claiming U.S. military objectives are "nearing completion" and operations could conclude within "two to three weeks."
- Launched on February 28, the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign aimed to destroy Iran's ballistic missile capabilities and navy, killing supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering a month-long regional crisis.
- Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz intensified global market volatility, with Brent crude prices surging more than 40% since the conflict began and average U.S. gasoline prices reaching $4.064 a gallon.
- Trump warned that allies must secure the Strait of Hormuz themselves, signaling a U.S. withdrawal from protection, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed ceasefire claims as "false and baseless."
- Markets remain volatile as analysts question the viability of Trump's timeline, while the U.S. military prepares for potential ground operations amid continued Iranian missile barrages against regional targets.
