President Donald Trump is addressing the nation on the war in Iran. This is his first prime-time speech since launching strikes with Israel over four weeks ago. Trump plans to outline objectives for the conflict, which has seen shifting goals and mixed messages. Wednesday night's address comes amid rising oil prices and volatile markets, with many Americans feeling the military action has gone too far. Trump is expected to claim success in U.S. operations, even as more troops head to the region. Iran continues its attacks, and diplomatic efforts remain unclear.
