President Donald Trump said U.S. forces will keep hitting Iran “extremely hard over the next two or three weeks” and bring the country “back to the Stone Ages,” even though he argued that all of his administration’s military objectives have been met or exceeded.
Trump didn’t say anything in his Wednesday night address about negotiations with Iran or mention his latest deadline of April 6 for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, the critical waterway for global oil and gas transport. He has threatened to attack Iran's energy infrastructure if the strait was not reopened.
