U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the nation, stating that 'forceful attacks' will be launched in the next two to three weeks. He assured that the strategic objectives of the United States are close to being fulfilled and called on allied countries to 'simply take' the Strait of Hormuz. In a message to the nation, in which he congratulated NASA on the launch of the Artemis II mission, he claimed that Iran's military structure has been eliminated and that the country has an increasingly reduced ability to launch missiles.
During his speech, the U.S. leader stated that the objectives of the 'Furious Epic' mission are almost complete, and that the effects of the war will be reflected with the end of Iran's offensive and the weakening of its proxy wars. Trump also thanked his allies in the Middle East: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, among others, assuring them that he will not allow them to be harmed.
Donald Trump calls for taking the Strait of Hormuz In his message, Donald Trump asked allied countries to take the Strait of Hormuz, although his conflict with Iran was orchestrated between the United States and Israel. 'They should have done it earlier, they should have done it with us, as we asked... Go to the Strait of Hormuz and just take it, protect it,' Trump said to the countries that import oil from the Persian Gulf, calling on them to protect their ships.
The leader claimed that the countries asking for help should have already organized to take the Strait of Hormuz, and that the closures, which affect the global economy, are a reflection of Iran's intentions and why it cannot have a nuclear weapon. Trump assured that Americans do not want a long war and directly blamed Iran for the rise in gasoline prices in the United States, which is why 'the Islamic State can never be trusted.'
Trump states the U.S. will end the 'threat' from Iran Donald Trump concluded his message by warning that they will end Iran's 'sinister' threat, and that the attacks are seen as an investment to protect American children. The leader celebrated the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear deal with Iran, stating that had he not done so, 'Israel would not exist,' so he assured that the offensive must continue. Finally, Trump stated that with this war, they discovered things they did not know about Iran's military intentions, which could lay the groundwork for a long-term conflict following the U.S. onslaught. 'We are very close,' was Donald Trump's message one month after the start of the war with Iran.
