From The Epoch Times:
Since the start of Operation Epic Fury, the Trump administration has defined its objectives as destroying Iran’s navy, ending its missile production capacity, breaking up its support for regional proxies, and preventing it from attaining a nuclear weapon.
“I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion,” Trump said on Wednesday night.
The National Pulse was more specific, quoting the President as saying there will only be “two to three weeks” more of military activity.
According to the Times, President Trump also announced that the U.S. is monitoring Iran’s nuclear sites, threatened to hit energy plants if a deal isn’t reached, and reassured Americans that the Strait of Hormuz will open again once the fighting ends.
Many Americans have worried about the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran’s closure of the critical oil route has caused gas prices to spike. During his address, however, the President spoke to these concerns, announcing that the U.S. is now producing “more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined.”
From Breitbart:
“Because of our ‘Drill Baby Drill’ program, America has plenty of gas,” President Trump said. “Under my leadership, we are the number one producer of oil and gas on the planet — without even discussing the millions of barrels that we’re getting from Venezuela.”
…
“Because of the Trump administration’s policies, we produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined,” the president added. “There’s no country like us anywhere in the world, and we’re in great shape for the future.”
Trump went on to say that “the United States imports almost no oil” through the Strait of Hormuz, “and won’t be taking any in the future.”

As Operation Epic Fury continues, many Americans, even those who voted for President Trump, are uneasy. Let’s continue to trust in God, intercede on behalf of our troops and leaders, and pray for a decisive American victory!
