U.S. President Donald Trump’s prime-time address at 9 p.m. EDT offers an update on the progress made toward achieving his goals in the war with Iran, which are to destroy the country’s missile production and Navy, ensure its proxies can no longer destabilize the region and guarantee Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon. Trump earlier Wednesday claimed Iran’s president wanted a ceasefire ahead of his speech to the American people. Trump made the claim Wednesday on his Truth Social website.
Trump expressed frustration with allies who have been unwilling to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling them to “go get your own oil.”
The U.S. Army’s top uniformed officer has been asked to step down by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Pentagon officials have not given a reason for Gen. Randy George's departure during the Iran war. George is the latest of more than a dozen firings of top U.S. generals and admirals. Iran has fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states. An Iranian military spokesperson said Thursday that Tehran maintains hidden stockpiles of arms, munitions and production facilities. Israel has launched a ground invasion in Lebanon against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants. Lebanon's Health Ministry says Israeli strikes have killed 27 people in a single day.
