President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the nation on April 1 to give an update on the military operation in Iran, according to the White House.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X that the president will provide “an important update” about the ongoing war at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
“I would say that within two weeks, maybe two weeks, maybe three,” the president told reporters.
When asked about the impact of the war on gas prices, Trump said: “All I have to do is leave Iran, and we’ll be doing that very soon, and they’ll come tumbling down.”
Since the start of the military campaign—dubbed Operation Epic Fury—U.S. forces have struck more than 11,000 targets, according to the Department of War.
