  • Good morning.

  • Trump addresses the nation on the war with Iran.

  • "There's never been anything like it militarily, everyone is talking about it,

  • and tonight I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion."

  • Why the wellness influencer tapped for Surgeon General is proving to be a tough sell.

  • And inside the drought facing America's West.

  • It's Thursday, April 2nd.

  • I'm Cecilia Lei, and this is Apple News Today.

  • Last night, President Trump delivered his first national address since the conflict with Iran began.

  • The speech spanned across his stated objectives, achievements, and timelines.

  • He claimed his goals had been largely achieved, but also threatened major escalation.

  • By the end, markets and analysts were still left guessing when and how the war might come to an end.

  • Trump began with an extended defense of the war's rationale.

  • He said Iran was a decades-long unresolved problem and that diplomacy had ultimately failed repeatedly.

  • And he presented a confident picture of the war's progress.

  • "We've done all of it.

  • Their navy is gone, their air force is gone, their missiles are just about used up or beaten.

  • Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran's military,

  • crush their ability to support terrorist proxies,

  • and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb."
