U.S. President Donald Trump said on the 1st (local time) that he would hit Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks.
"Thanks to the progress we have made so far, I can say tonight that we can achieve all of America's military goals very quickly," Trump said in a speech to the nation at the White House on the 33rd day of the war against Iran.
President Trump's "two to three weeks" has recently been cited as the time when the U.S. forces, which have carried out military operations against Iran, have made it clear that they will not slow down the reins of the offensive over the next two to three weeks.
President Trump also said in the Iran war, "I am pleased that key strategic goals are approaching the completion stage."
President Trump said that he had made a regime change in Iran and that "discussions are continuing in the meantime," indicating that negotiations with Iran are ongoing.
However, "if no agreement is reached during this period, we are keeping an eye on the main targets" and "we will hit their plants very strongly, probably at the same time."
Trump says Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz, which has contributed to a surge in international oil prices, and has offered to buy oil from the United States or keep the strait on its own to countries that rely on imports of Middle Eastern oil and gas through it.
"Be courageous in hindsight. Go to the Channel, take it for yourself, keep it and use it. Iran is practically devastated," he told allies and Hormuz users.

Because of his misjudgment, he started a war against Iran, and with many wrong decisions along the way, the war dragged on.
Now, seeing that he can only say such things, it’s clear that Trump has no solution.
After a crushing defeat in the midterm elections, it seems the only way to change Trump is through the Republican Party’s collapse.
