8:31Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump, in his first address to the nation on the Iran war, told Americans the war is “nearing completion,” and projected another two or three weeks of involvement. “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. Our armed forces have been extraordinary,” Trump said.
Trump also used the opening moments of the speech to criticize his predecessors, claiming that US presidents who came before him should have “handled” the Iranian regime before he took office. “We don’t have to be there. We don’t need their oil. We don’t need anything they have, but we’re there to help our allies.”
