President Trump provided an update on the Iran war, claiming progress and projecting another two to three weeks of military involvement. He reiterated threats to escalate attacks if negotiations fail and emphasized the need for allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Polls show that many Americans doubt his strategy and clarity on the conflict's end.

• Trump says the Iran conflict is "nearing completion," projecting 2-3 more weeks of involvement without a clear exit strategy or long-term goals.
• He threatens to escalate strikes on Iran's power plants if negotiations fail, while also calling Iran's new leadership "less radical" and "more reasonable."
• 67% of Americans in a CNN poll say Trump lacks a clear plan for handling the situation.
• Trump frames the war's 32-day duration by comparing it to past American wars, even as families of fallen service members push back on his rhetoric.
