Trump promises to ‘bring Iran back to Stone Ages’

President Donald Trump pledged to send Iran “back to the Stone Age” as set a deadline of ending the war before next month.

Addressing the nation in a live broadcast, Trump gave an update on Operation Epic Fury, saying: “ Shortly, very shortly, we are going to hit them extremely hard.”

“Over the next two to three weeks, we're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong”, he said.

Trump threatened to bomb Iran’s electricity and oil plants if a deal wasn’t made.

In his speech, that was supposed to give a briefing on Iran war, Trump turned to allies who rely on the blocked Strait of Hormuz for oil to “build up some delayed courage” and secure the strategic gateway themselves.
