President Trump says Iran war nearing end as he repeats claims of major military gains
In a primetime address on the war with Iran, President Trump said the conflict would “soon be over” and repeated recent claims that Iran’s navy has been eliminated and its ability to launch missiles and drones has been sharply reduced. He expressed frustration with some U.S. allies and again raised the possibility of withdrawing from NATO, while European leaders said they would not be drawn into the fight. The president also said it is up to other nations to reopen key shipping routes disrupted by the conflict, underscoring the administration’s message that the U.S. should not shoulder the burden alone.
