Will Trump's latest address end the US-Iran war, or will it worsen the situation? A major claim on Operation Epic Fury: The US achieved its objectives, but Iran denies it. Oil prices surge, global markets are in turmoil—is the world heading toward a new crisis?
US-Iran War Updates: Amid the ongoing tense war between the United States and Iran, US President Donald Trump has finally addressed the nation. This speech comes at a time when the entire world is focused on this conflict. For more than a month, the US and Israel have been jointly attacking Iran. But surprisingly, this is the first time Trump has addressed the public on prime time after such a massive operation. Was the strategy unclear earlier, or is the situation now spiraling out of control?
Operation Epic Fury: Has the US achieved its goals?
According to the White House, Trump will state in his speech that the US has achieved or is very close to achieving most of its military objectives in Iran. This mission, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," is being claimed to have exceeded expectations. However, the reality on the ground suggests otherwise. Thousands of US troops are still being sent to the Middle East. Aircraft carriers and warships are also being deployed.

Does Iran really want a ceasefire or is this just a political statement?
Trump has claimed that Iran wants a ceasefire. However, Iran has dismissed this statement as completely false. This rhetoric between the two countries is further complicating the situation. The impact of this war is not limited to politics, but is also affecting the global economy. Oil prices are continuously rising, and gasoline in the US has surpassed $4 per gallon. This is directly affecting ordinary people's pockets. Meanwhile, investors are also awaiting Trump's speech. Stability is being observed in the currency market, but how long this stability will last will depend on this speech.
Will this war end in the next 2-3 weeks?
According to Trump, the conflict could end within the next two to three weeks. However, given the current situation, this claim seems quite large and challenging. Trump's speech is not just an update, but a strategic signal. It will determine whether the war will calm down or escalate in the coming days.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "Tonight, I'm making a little speech at 9 o'clock. Basically — I'm gonna tell everybody how GREAT I am, and what a great job I've done, and what a PHENOMENAL job I've done!"

Oil price surge: Will it affect the common man?
The impact of this war isn't limited to politics. Gas prices in the US have surpassed $4 per gallon for the first time since 2022. Experts say rising oil prices could lead to higher inflation worldwide, especially in food and daily necessities. Global markets were volatile ahead of Trump's speech, with investors waiting to see if any major decisions will be made. The dollar's decline and the stability of the euro and pound indicate that the market remains uncertain.
Is America increasing military pressure?
According to reports, the US is preparing to send a large aircraft carrier, the USS George HW Bush, to the Middle East. Thousands of troops are also being deployed. This indicates that the US is both pursuing dialogue and increasing military pressure. This is Trump's first major prime-time address, more than a month after the war began.
