• A new timeline: President Donald Trump will deliver an address to the nation on Wednesday night regarding Iran. It comes after Trump said the US could be done with its war with Iran within two to three weeks. Iran has indicated it’s willing to fight for far longer.
• Allies on their own: Trump said the US will have “nothing to do with” the closed Strait of Hormuz, telling other countries - including key US allies - to “go get your own oil.”
