U.S. President Donald Trump delivered a 20-minute primetime address from the White House on Wednesday evening, reiterating his earlier statements about the ongoing U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran. He claimed the operation’s main strategic goals were nearly achieved after a month of fighting and predicted it would continue for another two to three weeks. Trump repeated threats against Iran and urged Americans to view the war as an investment in their future, despite polls showing most voters do not support the campaign.

The speech left major questions unresolved. Trump did not clarify Israel’s stance on his proposed timeline or address the 15-point peace proposal previously offered to Iran. His position on reopening the Strait of Hormuz also remained vague, as he alternated between pressuring Iran and urging allies to act independently. The role of U.S. ground troops in the region was similarly unclear.

The address came amid rising fuel prices and falling approval ratings ahead of midterm elections, highlighting Trump’s struggle to define a clear path out of the conflict.
