Overnight addressing the nation for the first time since launching this war with Iran, President Trump claiming the US is on track to end the conflict soon, but offering no vision or timeline for what comes next.
>> Our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield.
>> But five weeks into this war, the president still not making clear what conditions have to be met for this conflict to end.
He says the operation is nearing completion, but is also vowing to continue attacking Iran and threatening their energy infrastructure if they don't reach some kind of a deal.
>> We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
We're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong.
>> The president rehashing why he started this campaign, saying Iran couldn't have a nuclear weapon despite claiming he obliterated their program in last year's strikes.
And in an interview Wednesday, Trump said he's not concerned about removing Iran's remaining stockpile of enriched uranium, saying that's so far underground.
I don't care about that.
But that statement at odds with why the president says he went to war in the first place, to prevent Iran from being able to make a nuclear weapon.
International inspectors estimate Iran has nearly a,000 pounds of near bombgrade enriched uranium deep underground at nuclear sites bombed by the US last year.
And as gas prices skyrocket over $4 a gallon, the president acknowledging the pain at the pump, but insisting it will be short-lived.
This short-term increase has been entirely the result of the Iranian regime launching deranged terror attacks against commercial oil tankers and neighboring countries that have nothing to do with the conflict.
>> Iran continues to choke off the straight of Hormuz, but Trump says it's up to other countries to reopen the critical waterway.
The countries of the world that do receive oil through the Hormone Strait must take care of that passage.
They must cherish it.
They must grab it and cherish it.
They can do it easily.
>> And notably last night, the president did not repeat his earlier warning that he could pull the US out of NATO.
The president is furious with our NATO allies for not supporting the war effort.
Even though guys he did not give them any heads
