President Donald Trump is set to address the nation at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, offering an update on U.S. operations in Iran after one month of combat, the White House said.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt described the speech as an “important update” on the war in a post on X.
A White House official said Trump will outline progress in the mission, known as Operation Epic Fury, and is expected to reiterate a previously stated two- to three-week timeline for a drawdown, which he mentioned to reporters on Tuesday.
The president is also expected to emphasize what officials describe as the operation’s achievements, including targeting Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and production sites, crippling its naval forces, limiting the influence of its regional proxies and preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
