US EditionTrump Says US 'on the Cusp' of Ending Iran War in Address
Trump said the conflict could end soon as the administration extended its timeline to two to three more weeks.
- On Wednesday, President Trump addressed the nation for the first time since the war began 33 days ago, declaring the goal of preventing Iranian nuclear weapons has been "attained" and signaling the conflict is nearing completion.

- Amid sliding approval ratings hitting first-term lows, gasoline in the United States is averaging more than $4 per gallon, reflecting economic pressures from the extended conflict.
