WASHINGTON, United States — President Donald Trump on Wednesday made his case for attacking Iran in his first nationwide address more than a month into the war, insisting the United States was close to victory as his approval rating sinks. In an evening speech from the White House, Trump broke little new ground on how the war would end and vowed two to three weeks further of "extremely hard" strikes against Iran. Bomb to 'Stone Ages'Trump again threatened that if Iran does not reach a negotiated settlement with him, the United States would "hit each and every one of their electric generating plants." Attacks on civilian energy infrastructure are widely considered to be illegal under the laws of war and could constitute a war crime. "Over the next two to three weeks, we are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong," Trump said.
