Trump takes Iran war to prime-time

What are Donald Trump’s aims in Iran? He’s sent conflicting signals in recent days — is he ending the war soon or launching a ground invasion? Is he forcing open the Strait of Hormuz or forgetting about it? Has the Iranian regime changed, or not? This evening may bring some clarity when he addresses the nation at 9 pm Eastern with what the White House called an “important” update. He faces a tough crowd: the American public largely opposes the war, partly because it has driven up energy costs, further stoking high prices that 87% of Americans say have now reached “crisis” levels. The average price for gasoline has now topped $4 per gallon for the first time in three years.

(As it happens, Trump has been thinking of doing this for nearly 40 years.) Trump is also weighing an operation to locate and remove nearly 1,000 pounds of Iran’s highly-enriched uranium, the heart of the country’s nuclear program. Either move would require a risky ground invasion, and Iran has pledged to set any US troops “on fire.” Still, Trump appeared to leave the door open to negotiations with Tehran, citing Iran’s decision to allow more oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz as evidence that progress is being made.
