U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric on Iran in a televised address on Wednesday, April 1, saying American military operations are not over and that heavy strikes will continue for another two to three weeks. The statement signaled a new phase of escalation rather than an imminent wind-down of the conflict.
According to Reuters and The Associated Press, Trump said the campaign’s core strategic objectives were close to being achieved, but he stopped short of setting a final timeline for ending the operation. Instead, he warned of continued pressure on Tehran if it failed to meet U.S. demands, while also hinting that the strikes could become even harsher. Sensitive issues remain unresolved, including the war’s endgame, the Strait of Hormuz, and the broader fallout for global energy markets.
The remarks came as markets reacted sharply, with oil prices rising and stocks retreating in several regions on fears that the conflict could last longer and deepen its impact on supply chains, energy prices and inflation.
This gives the story significance well beyond the battlefield itself, because a prolonged U.S. campaign against Iran would keep the Middle East on edge and add another layer of uncertainty to the global economy, especially if Washington expands strikes to more strategic targets.
