Trump Addresses Nation on Iran Conflict

In a primetime address, President Trump claimed the military had nearly accomplished its goals in Iran but offered no clear timeline for ending the conflict.
He reiterated familiar arguments for military action, emphasizing the need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and downplaying the impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure.
Trump's approval ratings have dropped to 35%, with significant pushback from his base over the ongoing military operations.
