Trump Delivers Prime-Time Address on Iran War, Says Objectives Are Nearly Complete

President Trump delivered a nationally televised prime-time address on April 1, 2026, claiming the Iran war objectives are nearly complete and threatening to strike Iranian power plants if no deal is reached within two to three weeks.

U.S. President Trump delivered a nationwide television address on the evening of April 1st regarding U.S.-Iran military operations. This was the first time since the conflict began that he formally addressed this matter. The speech lasted approximately twenty minutes.

Trump claimed that war objectives are soon to be achieved, and expects the conflict to end in the near term. He also warned that if Iran fails to reach an agreement within two to three weeks, the U.S. military will carry out severe strikes against Iran's power generation facilities.

Analysts pointed out that this address marks a significant shift in U.S. policy toward Iran. After the speech was broadcast, international oil prices briefly rose, with the market maintaining high alertness regarding Middle East situation uncertainty. Currently, Iran has not yet made an official response to Trump's latest statements.
