The President of the United States, Donald Trump, addressed the nation this Wednesday night to inform the population about the war in Iran and indicate that the United States is about to complete the objectives of the military campaign. “We are on track to complete all U.S. military objectives shortly, very soon,” the president said.
Trump announced that the US military will hit Iran “extremely hard” for the next two or three weeks if the Islamic regime continues to refuse to give up its nuclear and military aspirations. “Back to the Stone Age,” was the phrase Trump used to refer to the coming attacks.
After the conflict ended, the president said that the Strait of Hormuz “will open naturally.”
In this regard, Trump said that countries whose oil supply depends on this maritime passage should “take the initiative” in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. “We will be useful, but they should take the initiative,” the president said, adding that other nations “must take care of that passage, they must appreciate it, they must seize it” after Iranian military capabilities have been severely
Trump talks about the Iranian nuclear program
Trump called the nuclear agreement negotiated by the former president of the United States, Democrat Barack Obama, a “mistake” and said that he was honored to have withdrawn from it during his term in office.

In addition, Trump thanked U.S. allies in the region, including Israel and the Gulf states, which have endured Iranian attacks since the beginning of the military conflict. “They've been great, and we won't let them get hurt or fail in any way, shape or form,” he concluded.
In another passage of his speech, Trump noted that Iran was “right on the doorstep” of manufacturing a nuclear weapon and that the regime was rapidly developing longer-range missiles. “They were right on the doorstep of developing a nuclear weapon,” said the magnate.
