Donald Trump defended US strikes on Iran in his first nationwide address, saying the mission is nearing completion. He claimed America is close to victory despite falling approval ratings and rising oil prices. Speaking from the White House, Trump warned of two to three more weeks of “extremely hard” strikes. He said the US will “finish the job” quickly in the ongoing conflict. Trump added that goals include weakening Iran’s military, curbing regional proxies, and preventing nuclear weapons, though global observers say the threat was not imminent.
