US President Donald Trump is set to deliver a national address on Wednesday evening, providing an update on the ongoing conflict with Iran, the White House announced.
The speech is scheduled for 9:00 pm Eastern Time (4:00 Kuwait; 0100 GMT Thursday), and is expected to outline the latest developments and potential next steps in the war.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the announcement in a post on X, urging the public to tune in for what she described as an “important update” on Iran, dw.com reports.
The address comes amid heightened tensions in the region and follows a series of recent statements by Trump suggesting that US military operations could be nearing their conclusion.
The announcement came after Trump said earlier that the US could end its military offensive against Iran in two to three weeks.
The US president also said it will be up to other countries to secure the Strait of Hormuz and keep the strategic waterway open.
