president Donald Trump address the nation Iran On Wednesday, April 1, the White House issued a declaration of war, calling Iran “the most violent and Brutal regimes on earthHe said the U.S. military was close to completing its mission and stepped up the threat of bombing the Islamic Republic back to the Stone Age.
Trump’s 19-minute speech came against the backdrop of high global oil prices and low approval ratings for himself.
“In my five years as president, America is winning, and winning now more than ever before,” Trump said.
“In my five years as president, America is winning, and winning now more than ever before,” Trump said.
In his speech, Trump said he wanted to “discuss why an act of epic rage is necessary for the security of America and the security of the free world.” While he hoped the goal of his speech would be to resolve the confusion left as his administration changed its reasons for going to war, he didn’t really offer any new explanations.
Trump insists Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. “This brutal regime has also recently killed 45,000 of its own people who protested in Iran,” he said. “To these terrorists, possessing nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat.”
Trump added, “The most violent, brutal regime on Earth is free to engage in terror, coercion, conquest and mass murder behind a nuclear shield. I will never let that happen, and neither should any of our past presidents.”
Trump said Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities had declined significantly and said the Iranian threat had been largely eliminated. However, he neither supported this hypothesis nor explained how the operation deterred Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Trump and his administration have claimed in the past that the United States and Israel “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear program in attacks last summer.
Trump said “core strategic objectives are nearly accomplished” but did not explicitly discuss any preparations for a U.S. military ground invasion to retake Iran’s enriched uranium or help secure the Strait of Hormuz. He said Iran would find it difficult to gain access to nuclear facilities that were bombed last year while the United States placed them under satellite surveillance.
“If we see them taking action, even a single step, we’re going to hit them hard with missiles,” Trump said.
Trump is approaching 60 days in office and must seek congressional approval under the War Powers Act to proceed with any military action.
Trump has previously insisted that active negotiations with Iran were ongoing but failed to discuss diplomatic efforts to achieve a ceasefire. However, Iran denies that talks are ongoing.
Trump began the week with strong criticism of NATO allies and other U.S. partners for not participating in the conflict. However, he did not mention NATO at all in his speech. Trump simply said that once the war is over, the countries most dependent on global oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz must take the lead in protecting the waterway.

“The countries in the world that do receive oil through the Strait of Hormuz have to take care of that passage,” Trump said. “They have to cherish it. They have to seize it and cherish it.”
He added that these countries should “gather up some belated courage”. However, he did not name specific allies.
“Go to the Channel and take it,” he said. “The hard part is already done, so it should be easy.”
Trump went on to mention the long wars in Korea and Vietnam, vowing that the United States would ultimately benefit from the wars. “It’s a real investment in the future of your children and grandchildren,” he said.
