newsApr 1, 202624945

President Trump delivered a prime-time address saying U.S. forces have achieved overwhelming military gains in Iran and that the war is nearing completion. He vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks, but offered no clear end date or exit plan. Markets reacted immediately, with Brent crude jumping about 5 percent and U.S. stock futures falling. The speech added few new policy details even as U.S. and Israeli forces continue joint operations and additional American forces move into the region.
