In a primetime national address delivered from the White House on April 1, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump laid out an aggressive new timeline for the month-long conflict with Iran, threatening devastating new military strikes against the country within the next 14 to 21 days. The speech marked Trump’s first major public update on the war since it entered its fifth week, framing ongoing military operations as nearing their final phases while doubling down on hardline rhetoric against Tehran.
