Trump has assured that the US is close to meeting its targets in Iran and has announced further attacks
The US president foresees the end of the war in a few weeks and says the Strait of Hormuz will open "naturally," while Tehran denies having called for a ceasefire.
Donald Trump spoke about the war from the White House Cross Room.
President Donald Trump has explained that the US is close to fulfilling its military objectives in Iran and has announced further "violent" attacks in the coming weeks, as part of the offensive launched with Israel on February 28.
In a speech addressed to the nation, Trump has assured us that the offensive is advancing as planned and is close to achieving the main strategic objectives, although he has not yet defined the new ground operations.
In this regard, Trump has indicated that he could attack "each and every one" of Iran's energy and electrical infrastructure, provided there is no agreement with Tehran.
That being the case, the US president has defended the attack on the grounds that Iran is an "unacceptable threat" precisely because of its ability to develop nuclear weapons. Halaber has insisted that the Iranian regime is "practically destroyed", although the numbers of casualties and the actual extent of the damage have not been independently verified.
At the same time, Trump believes that the strategic Strait of Hormuz, blocked by Iran in response to the attacks, will open "naturally" when the conflict ends. He has explained that Tehran will have to resume the sale of oil to rebuild the economy, which would facilitate the restoration of maritime traffic on a key road to global energy trade.
The US president has also urged countries dependent on crude oil passing through Hormuz to take a more active role, while encouraging them to buy energy from the US, emphasizing their position as the world's leading oil and gas producer.
Finally, Trump has ended his speech by thanking, among others, Israel and several allied countries in the Gulf, while Tehran has denied calling for a ceasefire while uncertainty about the end of the conflict prevails.
