War in Iran 'nearing completion' — but won't end until US achieves objectives, Trump says

"U.S. President Donald Trump said in an address on April 1 that the war in Iran is

approaching its end — while also pledging to continue fighting until the United States achieves its military objectives.
The address marked Trump's first major speech on the war since the U.S. and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Tehran on Feb. 28. He reiterated the stated goals of the operation, which include destroying Iran's navy and military-industrial base, dismantling the country's ability to sponsor regional terrorist groups, and preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
"I'm pleased ​to ​say that these ‌core ⁠strategic objectives are nearing ​completion," ​Trump said.
The U.S. will not end the war until it achieves those objectives, he added." KI
