Trump Claims US Nearing Military Objectives in Iran, Warns of Intensified Strikes
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States is close to completing its military objectives in Iran, highlighting significant progress under what he described as Operation Epic Fury.
In a national address, Trump stated that US armed forces have achieved “swift, decisive, and overwhelming victories” over the past four weeks. He emphasized that Washington will continue its campaign until all objectives are fully met, adding that the coming two to three weeks will see intensified military action. The president issued stark warnings, saying the US is prepared to deliver devastating blows to Iran’s critical infrastructure if necessary.
Regional tensions have sharply escalated since February 28, when the United States and the zionist entity launched a joint strike on Iran that reportedly killed more than 1,340 people, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
At the same time, Trump noted that discussions with Iran remain ongoing but warned that failure to reach a deal would result in coordinated strikes on the country’s electricity infrastructure. He added that while Iran’s oil sector remains an easy target, the US has deliberately avoided striking it so far, noting that such action would eliminate any chance of recovery.
Addressing the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said the United States no longer relies on oil shipments through the passage. He called on other nations dependent on the route to take responsibility for securing it, suggesting they either purchase energy from the US or ensure control of the waterway themselves.
“We’ve beaten and completely decimated Iran,” Trump claimed, asserting that the most difficult phase of the conflict has already passed. He concluded by saying that once the conflict ends, the Strait of Hormuz would “naturally reopen,” despite ongoing instability in the region.
