President Donald Trump has declared that the United States will strike Iran 'extremely hard' over the next two to three weeks and return it to the stone ages. The president made the announcement in a televised address to the nation on Wednesday evening, claiming that the US's core strategic objectives in the ongoing Iran war were nearing completion.
The remarks have heightened tensions as the conflict, which began with major combat operations on February 28, enters what the administration calls its final phase. The comments have drawn widespread attention both at home and abroad.
