Former President Donald Trump is set to deliver a primetime address on the Iran war, sparking global attention.
Trump claimed the U.S. would leave Iran soon, even without a deal.
He suggested a ceasefire could be possible if Iran opens the Strait of Hormuz, but warned of continued military action otherwise.
Analysts note the lack of clear objectives gives Trump flexibility to declare victory.
Economic pressures and public opinion favor a swift exit from the conflict, especially as gas prices rise above $4 per gallon.
The address comes amid mounting domestic criticism and growing skepticism about U.S. involvement in regional conflicts.
Trump’s stance reflects a dramatic shift from earlier demands for unconditional surrender to a more diplomatic approach - though still conditional on key concessions.
His rhetoric suggests deepening military engagement unless Iran complies with U.S. demands.
