According to his words, U.S. forces have nearly completed "key strategic tasks" and powerful strikes could be delivered within the next two to three weeks. Trump even threatened to send Iran "back to the Stone Age."
At the same time, he said that if Iran does not agree to a deal on Washington's terms, massive strikes on the country's energy infrastructure are possible. He also called on states that receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz to protect this passageway themselves.
It is noted that in his speech, Trump emphasized that the U.S. does not depend on this strait, showing a somewhat softer position compared to his previous sharp statements. The war, as he stressed, could end in the near future even without a deal.
