Trump to deliver national address on Iran conflict Wednesday night
Washington — U.S. President Donald Trump will deliver a national address on Wednesday night providing an update on the ongoing conflict with Iran, the White House said, following his remarks that U.S. military operations could conclude within weeks.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the address in a post on X late Tuesday, stating that Trump would speak at 9:00 p.m. to outline developments related to Iran.
The announcement came shortly after Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that U.S. forces could withdraw from Iran within “two or three weeks,” indicating that military objectives were nearing completion.
His remarks suggested that a withdrawal timeline would not necessarily depend on reaching a negotiated agreement with Tehran.The address is expected to provide further clarity on the administration’s strategy as the conflict continues to affect regional stability and global energy markets.
The White House did not release additional details on the content of the speech.The Iran conflict, which began in late February, has involved sustained U.S. military operations alongside escalating tensions across the broader Middle East.
