April 1 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump told the nation Wednesday night that the U.S. military was close to achieving its goals in the war against Iran and would bomb the nation "back to the stone ages where they belong" over the next two weeks to finish the job.
In the nearly 20-minute, prime-time address to the nation, Trump repeated claims of military successes in the war, while offering little new information about the progress of Operation Epic Fury.
He said U.S. forces "have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield" and "never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large-scale losses in a matter of weeks."
"Our enemies are losing and America, as it has been for the five years under my presidency, is winning and now winning bigger than ever before," he said.
Trump offered no specifics on how or precisely when the war will end, while claiming the military objectives he announced shortly after the war began in late February were "nearing completion."
