(Photo: AFP)TEHRAN — Israel struck Iran's capital on Wednesday ahead of United States President Donald Trump's planned address to the American public on the month-long war he said could end within weeks. Trump, whose statements on the war have swung from combative to conciliatory, had earlier said the war could be over in "two weeks, maybe three". The comments came as Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened major US tech firms from Wednesday if more Iranian leaders were killed in "targeted assassinations". The Israeli military said Wednesday it had struck "approximately 7,000 targets" since the start of the war, including "4,000 terrorist targets" in Iran.
