Trump says US conducting large-scale military operation against Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump announced in a national address from the White House that the United States is conducting a large-scale military operation against Iran. He stated that Iran has refused to halt its nuclear weapons development and would eventually possess missiles capable of striking the U.S., a scenario he described as unacceptable. Mourning four U.S. soldiers killed in action, Trump asserted that the U.S. will win and will continue to respond to Iranian threats. He added that the military operation was initially expected to last four to five weeks but could take longer.
