U.S. President Donald Trump has said the United States is approaching the final phase of its military campaign against Iran, even as he warned that some of the most intense strikes are yet to come.

In a national address, Trump defended the ongoing war effort, stating that key strategic objectives have largely been achieved after more than a month of fighting. He praised U.S. armed forces for what he described as an unprecedented military performance and indicated that decisive actions would continue in the coming weeks.

The president signaled that the U.S. plans to intensify its operations over the next two to three weeks, raising concerns about further escalation despite suggestions that the conflict could soon reach its end.

The war, which began in late February, has already triggered global economic consequences, including rising oil prices and increased volatility in financial markets. Much of the tension has centered around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global energy supplies.

Despite claims of progress by Washington, Iran has continued retaliatory attacks, keeping the region on edge and prolonging uncertainty over the trajectory of the conflict.

With additional U.S. troop deployments to the Middle East, analysts say it remains unclear whether the war is nearing conclusion or entering a more dangerous and prolonged phase.
