Trump to address the nation on Iran

Donald Trump will address the American nation regarding Iran, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt announced on Tuesday, March 31. “Tomorrow night (Wednesday, April 1) at 9 pm, President Trump will address the nation to provide important new information on Iran,” she wrote. The American president’s speech can be followed starting at 3 am Paris time on Thursday, April 2.

He will speak just over a month after the start of the war initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28.

Since the conflict began, Donald Trump has spoken out multiple times, sometimes criticizing NATO partners, claiming victory over Iran several times, and even complaining that there is no successor to Ayatollah Khamenei after targeting top officials of the Tehran regime.

An agreement with Tehran “no longer matters”

On Tuesday, he stated that the war would be over in two or three weeks, assuring that the Strait of Hormuz, blocked since early March with major consequences for the global economy, is no longer his problem.

“We will leave very soon. And if France or another country wants to have their oil or gas, they can go straight to the Strait of Hormuz and figure it out themselves. I think it will actually be a very safe place, but we have nothing to do with that,” said Donald Trump.

He had already stated earlier in the day that the United States “will no longer be there to help” countries whose oil supply depends on this strategic strait, blocked by Iran since the beginning of the conflict.

As for a possible agreement with the Tehran regime, it “no longer matters”: “We will leave, whether there is an agreement or not. It doesn’t matter anymore. We may reach an agreement, as they want to,” he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims the operation against Iran is not over. “We will continue to crush the terrorist regime, strengthen security zones around us, and achieve our goals,” he said in a televised address.
