Trump prepares to address nation on Iran after vowing to end conflict in ‘weeks’
The White House promised an “important update” on Iran, in what is set to be the president’s first prime-time address since the U.S. and Israeli assault began.
President Donald Trump is set to address the nation Wednesday night with an “important update” on Iran, the White House said, in what is set to be his first prime-time address since the U.S. and Israeli assault on Iran began more than a month ago.
In a Tuesday night tweet, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not elaborate on what Trump’s message would be in the 9 p.m. speech. But Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have spent recent days expressing optimism about the United States’ trajectory, after the administration alternated between saying the war is winding down and threatening to escalate it.
Trump said Tuesday he planned to end the U.S. involvement in Iran within two or three weeks and that he would have “nothing to do” with a long-term effort to secure the Strait of Hormuz, a choke point for 20 percent of the world’s oil that Iran has largely blocked off with threats and attacks on tankers.
“We’ll be leaving very soon,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “And if France or some other country wants to get oil or gas, go up through the … Hormuz Strait, they’ll go right up there, and they’ll be able to fend for themselves.”
“We’ll have nothing to do with it,” he continued. “What happens in the strait, we’re not going to have anything to do with it.”
Rubio said in a Fox News interview that “we can see the finish line. It’s not tomorrow, but it is coming.”
