President Donald Trump will deliver a nationally televised address Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET to provide what the White House called an "important update" on Iran.

The announcement comes as the administration's military campaign against the country roils global energy markets and raises fears of broader regional conflict.

Trump has not indicated whether the address will include a major policy shift or battlefield update.
