Trump claims Iran war ‘nearing completion’ and seeks to justify conflict in prime time address

Oil prices rose and Asian stocks traded lower immediately after Trump's address, which did little to soothe investor concerns over the closure of the strait of Hormuz. The US president reiterated his call for other nations to help secure the global oil chokepoint: "Grab it and cherish it."… 

"We're going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong," he said, even as he said "discussions were ongoing". 

Democrats criticised Trump's address as "incoherent" and doing little to answer "the most basic questions the American people".
