Trump Asserts War in Iran Is ‘Nearing Completion’
During a prime-time address on Wednesday, President Trump said the United States was on track for completing its military objectives in Iran, but offered no clear timeline to end the war.
I’ve made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved. Thanks to the progress we’ve made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America’s military objectives shortly, very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong. Our armed forces have been extraordinary. There’s never been anything like it militarily. These core strategic objectives are nearing completion. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, and their weapons, factories, and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces. Very few of them left. We will be helpful, but they should take the lead in protecting the oil that they so desperately depend on. And in any event, when this conflict is over, the strait will open up naturally. Yet if during this period of time, no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets. If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously.
