The U.S. military campaign against Iran will continue in the coming weeks, with major blows still to be delivered, Trump said in an address to the nation. "We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks," Trump said. "We're going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong." The president's comments indicate the conflict could escalate, at least in the short term.
