Watch: Trump addresses the nation at critical moment in the war with Iran - NPR

President Trump used a prime-time address to say U.S. objectives in Iran have largely been met and that the conflict is 'nearing completion,' repeating an earlier two-to-three-week timeline for U.S. forces to leave. A fact-check found that while there have been significant battlefield wins, declaring a near or total end to the campaign is misleading given remaining strategic setbacks and continued Iranian activity, contributing to inconsistent public messaging and allied uncertainty.
