Trump delivered a speech escalating tensions with Iran
The White House leader Donald Trump spoke before the cameras for the first time since the tense situation in the Middle East began. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
His live broadcast drew the world's attention once again to the conflict between Tehran and Washington. While Trump had previously expressed his views via social media and phone calls, this time he communicated face-to-face with journalists.
In his speech, he justified the necessity of military action by citing Iran's nuclear ambitions and missile threat. According to Trump, Iran had ignored the White House's warnings and was on the verge of developing weapons capable of reaching key regions in Europe and America.
However, experts from Reuters agency consider the president's claims somewhat exaggerated. According to intelligence data, Iran might achieve such power no earlier than 2035.
President Trump set four priority tasks for his administration: breaking missile capabilities, striking the naval fleet, establishing a nuclear barrier, and imposing financial blockades. Interestingly, Trump's speech did not mention "regime change," which may indicate that Washington's ultimate goals remain unclear.
When asked about the duration of the war, Trump responded in his characteristic style. He predicted a 4-5 week timeframe but stated they were ahead of schedule.
He emphasized that if necessary, the operation could be extended. According to Trump, the US has the most powerful army in the world and they will definitely achieve victory.
He also mentioned that a "wave of major attacks" against Iran is still ahead and that if needed, he would not hesitate to deploy ground troops. Do you think it is possible to resolve this conflict in the Middle East within the 4-5 week period mentioned by Donald Trump?
