Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
President Trump addressed the country last night for the first time since he launched the war against Iran.
Trump is contending that the operation has been a success.
He also says the U.S. Military operation should conclude in two to three weeks.
But NPR's Deepa Shivaram says Trump did not offer many new specifics.
Trump has been saying so many different things, and thousands of U.S. Troops are still in the region.
Whether those troops will be used in any significant ground operations in the time that the U.S.
Is allegedly winding down the war is not something that the president talked about at all.
But he did seem to indicate that the U.S.
Could take future action in Iran if the country moves to try and make a nuclear weapon.
And PR's Deepa Shivaram reporting.
President Trump is now saying that the United States is not responsible for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
It was open before the conflict started.
Trump says other countries should do this.
The British government is holding a virtual multinational meeting today without the United States to discuss this issue.
And Bahrain has introduced a United Nations resolution calling on Iran to open up the strait.
And Piers Michelle Kellerman has more.
Bahrain's ambassador, Jamal Faris al-Rawai, says his country cannot accept what he calls economic terrorism.
That's how he describes Iran's moves to shut down the Strait of Hormuz in response to U.S.
And Israeli strikes on Iran.
