President Trump will address the nation at 9 p.m. ET tonight in a primetime speech expected to serve as his State of the Union. Sources say the address follows an intelligence briefing earlier today and could announce U.S. strikes on Iran. Senior advisers are split: some urge diplomacy, others press for limited military action, while the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Dan Caine, has warned of significant risks and depleted munitions. The administration has built up forces in the Middle East, faces uncertain allied support, and officials warn any strike could trigger broader regional escalation and global diplomatic fallout.
