“The first email I read, every morning, is News Items.” — Rick Cordella, President, NBC Sports.
1. President Trump yesterday declared he had already achieved one of the primary objectives of his attack on Iran, the elimination of its ability to build a nuclear weapon. But there is no evidence that the United States or Israel has removed or destroyed the country’s stockpile of near-bomb-grade fuel. “I had one goal,” Mr. Trump said in the Oval Office late in the afternoon. “They will have no nuclear weapon, and that goal has been attained.” (Source: nytimes.com)
2. Mr. Trump said the US could end its war in Iran within “two or three weeks” even if no peace deal was reached, in the strongest sign yet of the president’s growing impatience with a conflict that has roiled markets. “We’ll leave whether we have a deal or not. It’s irrelevant,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office late on Tuesday. The US would do so within “two or three weeks” though a deal between Washington and Tehran was possible before then, he said. The president’s remarks at a White House event came just hours after Brent, the international oil benchmark, settled at $118.35 a barrel, near its highest level since the start of the war a month ago.

3. Mr. Trump will deliver a speech tonight at 9 p.m. Washington time to give an update about the war in Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. (Source: bloomberg.com)
4. Robert Pape:
President Trump may signal that the Iran war is “over” in his address tonight. That will dominate the headlines. It will also be deeply misleading.
