Previewing the President's Primetime Address on Iran

President Trump will address the nation at 9 p.m. ET tonight with important updates on Iran.

The President was optimistic on Tuesday that the war with Iran is nearing its end, stating the conflict will be done “within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job.” President Trump also suggested that a diplomatic solution may be forthcoming. The same day, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the next few days of conflict will be “decisive.” 

A quick preview of what we believe the President will say this evening is below:

• We expect the President to declare victory and describe plans to wind down Operation Epic Fury in the next two weeks. 

• The President will explain how we have achieved our initial military objectives. 

• He will highlight our wins, such as the death of the Ayatollah, crippling Iran's nuclear capabilities, disabling their navy and airfare, and hobbling Iran’s war-making ability.

• Ultimately, we think that President Trump will announce plans to end operations within two weeks.

• The President will caveat his intentions to end operations by reserving the right to escalate strikes at any time for any reason.

• The President will criticize NATO for not joining this fight when more of their oil comes from the Middle East than ours.
