0:00I, Marcela Sanchez, with an AP News Minute in President Trump's prime time address last night, he said U.S. forces will keep hitting Iran very hard in the next two or three weeks. Even as he made those threats, the President argued that all of Washington's objectives have been met or exceeded. Meanwhile, Iran has launched more missiles, while discussions on a ceasefire go on. Iran has responded to President Donald Trump's address to Americans on the war with new missile attacks, targeting Israel and the Gulf Arab states, underlining Tehran's insistence that it rejects Washington's outreach for a ceasefire while maintaining its grip on the strait of Hormuz. Britain, Thursday, plans to hold a call with nearly three dozen countries about how to reopen the strait. Through which 20% of all oil and natural gas-traded passes in peacetime, the call will discuss diplomatic and political measures that could restoreshipping once the fighting's over.
