Trump announces Iran war is ‘nearing completion’
President Donald Trump has announced that Operation Epic Fury is “nearing completion” as the military operation against Iran approaches its fifth week.
During his address to the nation Wednesday night, Trump recapped the United States’ progress in the region, aiming to reassure Americans that the conflict would soon draw to a close. Notably, Trump did not indicate whether the United States would put boots on the ground in the region.
‘The hard part is done.’
Trump reiterated the objectives of the operation, including destroying Iran’s air force and navy, debilitating its missile capabilities, and preventing the country from developing nuclear weapons.
“Tonight, I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion,” Trump said. “As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran.”

Trump also echoed the updates he provided throughout the week, urging European allies burdened by the oil crisis to buy American oil and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz themselves.
“The hard part is done, so it should be easy,” Trump said. “And in any event, when this conflict is over, the strait will open up naturally.”
Although it is still unclear who in Iran the United States is negotiating with and the status of those negotiations, Trump said that he is on track to “get rid of a cancer that has long simmered.”
“It’s known as the nuclear Iran,” Trump said. “And they didn’t know what was coming. They never imagined it.”

Manhunt under way for man seen dragging a body away before woman was found stabbed to death, police say
Wisconsin police released video of a suspect in the stabbing death of a woman at her Kenosha home on Wednesday.
Kenosha police said they were called to the home near 75th Street and 22nd Avenue for a welfare check on a woman. Her friend told police that her estranged husband had been getting physical with her.
‘I never would have thought nothing of it. He seemed like a cool dude, held the door, he came in with his kids.’
The man identified as Marckus Plaza was seen by police dragging a body in the home.
When they spoke to Plaza, he gave them a fake name, and after they gained entry into the home, he was seen hopping a fence to escape.
The woman was found in the basement stabbed to death, according to police. They also found a phone that was bent in half.
Inside the home were her two children.
Police said Plaza escaped on foot and is looking to find transportation to flee from the area. They described him as a black man weighing about 190 pounds with a height of 5’6″. When last seen, he was wearing dark-colored sweatpants and a white tank top.
They also released a video of the man hopping a fence into what appears to be a neighbor’s yard to escape police.
WDJT-TV reported that court documents indicated the woman had obtained a restraining order against Plaza.
He is charged with first-degree intentional homicide using a dangerous weapon.
A resident of the area said he had encountered Plaza before the incident.
“I’ve seen him at the gas station before,” Bobby Johnson said. “I never would have thought nothing of it. He seemed like a cool dude, held the door, he came in with his kids.”
