白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特在X平台上宣布，特朗普总统计划于周三晚间发表黄金时间演讲，“就伊朗局势发布重要更新”。
莱维特未透露此次演讲的其他细节，演讲定于美国东部时间晚上9点举行。此次演讲恰逢美伊持续一个月的冲突处于关键节点：正如CBS新闻本月早些时候报道的那样，特朗普公开表示他正寻求与伊朗达成协议，在数周内结束战争，同时他私下内正在考虑是否派遣地面部队。
美国国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟周二早些时候表示，“未来数日将具有决定性意义”。
特朗普周二下午对记者表示，他预计美伊战争将在“两周，或许三周内”结束，他辩称美国削弱伊朗军事力量的核心目标已基本达成。他还表示，任何依赖中东石油的国家都应自行负责确保霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输畅通，这暗示美国可能不会在重新开放这条关键航道的行动中发挥主导作用——目前伊朗已实际封锁了该海峡。
特朗普周二对CBS新闻记者魏佳江表示，他“尚未准备好”让美军撤出推动伊朗重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的行动，但其他国家“必须介入并承担责任”。
近期特朗普还对美伊和平谈判的进展表示了一定乐观态度。伊朗方面否认与美国进行谈判，但证实双方已通过中间人交换了信息。
与此同时，据CBS新闻报道，包括海军海豹突击队和陆军游骑兵在内的数百名美国特种作战部队现已部署至中东，另有海军陆战队和陆军伞兵随行，这为特朗普扩大战争规模提供了选择空间。
本月早些时候，五角大楼官员开始制定向伊朗部署地面部队的方案。多名消息人士本月早些时候向CBS新闻透露，特朗普政府曾策划一项高风险任务，动用特种部队夺取伊朗的高浓缩铀储备，但当时他似乎尚未做出最终决定。
美国国内也出现了针对是否将针对哈尔克岛发起某种行动的公开讨论——这座伊朗岛屿负责该国绝大多数石油出口业务。
特朗普周一在Truth Social的帖子中写道：“我们已经取得了巨大进展，但如果出于某种原因未能很快达成协议（虽然协议很可能会达成），如果霍尔木兹海峡没有立即‘恢复通航’，我们将结束在伊朗的‘美好停留’，炸毁并彻底摧毁他们所有的发电厂、油井和哈尔克岛（可能还有所有海水淡化厂！），而这些目标我们此前特意‘未曾触碰’。”
Trump to give “important update on Iran” Wednesday in prime-time speech

President Trump is planning to deliver a prime-time address Wednesday night to “provide an important update on Iran,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X.
Leavitt did not give any other details on the address, which is set for 9 p.m. ET. But it comes at an important time in the monthlong conflict with Iran, as Mr. Trump publicly signals that he is looking to strike a deal with Iran and wrap the war up in a matter of weeks — and as he privately weighs whether to use ground forces, CBS News reported earlier this month.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier Tuesday that the “upcoming days will be decisive.”
Mr. Trump told reporters Tuesday afternoon he expects the war with Iran to end in “two weeks, maybe three,” arguing that the U.S.’s core objective of degrading Iran’s military has largely been achieved. He has also said any countries that rely on Middle Eastern petroleum should be responsible for getting their oil through the Strait of Hormuz themselves, hinting that the U.S. may not take a leading role in reopening the key waterway, which Iran has effectively shut down.
The president told CBS News’ Weijia Jiang on Tuesday he isn’t prepared to withdraw U.S. forces from efforts to push Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz “quite yet,” but other countries “have to come in and take care of it.”
Mr. Trump has also expressed some optimism about the state of U.S.-Iran peace talks in recent days. Iran has denied that it is negotiating with the U.S., but confirmed that the two sides have exchanged messages through mediators.
At the same time, hundreds of U.S. Special Operations Forces — including Navy SEALS and Army Rangers — are now in the Middle East, along with Marines and Army paratroopers, giving Mr. Trump options to potentially expand the scope of the war, CBS News has reported.
Earlier this month, Pentagon officials began preparing options for deploying ground forces to Iran. The Trump administration has strategized whether to launch a high-risk mission to use Special Operations Forces to seize Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, sources told CBS News earlier this month, though he had not appeared to make a decision at that point.
There’s also been public discussion about whether the U.S. will order some kind of operation against Kharg Island, an Iranian territory that handles most of the country’s oil exports.
“Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet ‘touched,’” the president wrote in a Truth Social post on Monday.
