Trump set to address nation on Iran conflict resolution strategy. President Trump will deliver a national address Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET outlining an update on the ongoing Iran military operation, now in its fifth week. Trump previously indicated the U.S. could conclude military actions within two to three weeks without requiring Iran to accept a formal deal. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed talks are progressing and the administration remains willing to negotiate, though prepared to escalate if Iran refuses compliance with the 15-point ceasefire framework. Markets responded positively to de-escalation signals, with major indices climbing substantially. Iranian officials claim indirect communications are occurring but deny formal negotiations. The situation remains fluid as both sides position themselves ahead of Trump's formal statement.
