Trump says US forces will 'finish the job' soon in first prime-time speech since starting Iran war

President Donald Trump says U.S. forces will “finish the job” in Iran soon as “core strategic objectives are nearing completion.” He offered a full-throated defense of the war Wednesday night in his first national address since the conflict began more than a month ago. He used his platform before a wide audience to tout the success of the U.S. operations and argue that all of Washington’s objectives have so far been met or exceeded, but said Iran would continue to face a barrage of attacks in the short term. But Trump also spent much of the address repeating many things he had already said in recent weeks and providing few new details.
