Trump says war with Iran 'nearing completion,' could conclude within weeks
He made the statement on Wednesday ins his address to the nation, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"Tonight, I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion," Trump said.
According to him, the United States has achieved significant results during the military operation.
"We've done all of it. Their navy is gone, their air force is gone. Their missiles are just about used up or beaten. Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran military, crush their ability to support terrorist proxies and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb," Trump said.
At the same time, he mentioned the fallen U.S. service members and once again promised to bring the war to a swift conclusion.
"As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran," Trump said.
According to him, they should be honored by completing the mission "for which they gave their lives."
"We're going to finish the job, and we're going to finish it very fast. We're getting very close," he added.
On Wednesday, Trump delivered an address announcing that the Iran war's objectives had been achieved and that its end is approaching.
