President Trump: As we speak this evening, it's been just one month since the United States Military began Operation Epic Fury, targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield…never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating losses in a matter of weeks.

President Trump: From the very first day I announced my campaign for president in 2015, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This fanatical regime has been chanting, 'death to America, death to Israel', for forty-seven years. Their proxies were behind the murder of two hundred and forty-one Americans in the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our servicemembers with roadside bombs, they were involved in the attack on the USS Cole, and they carried out the countless other heinous acts, including the bloody atrocities of October 7th in Israel.

President Trump: For years, everyone has said that Iran can not have nuclear weapons, but in the end, those are just words if you are not willing to take action when the time comes.

President Trump: Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly. Very shortly. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We are going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.

President Trump: The nuclear sites that we obliterated with the B-2 bombers, have been hit so hard, that it would take months to get near the nuclear dust. And we have it under intense satellite surveillance and control. If we see them make a move; even a move for it, we'll hit them with missiles very hard again.

President Trump: It's very important that we keep this conflict in perspective. American involvement in World War I lasted one year, seven months, and five days. World War II lasted for three years, eight months, and twenty-five days. The Korean War lasted for three years, one month, and two days. The Vietnam War lasted for nineteen years, five months, and twenty-nine days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight months, and twenty-eight days. We are in this military operation, so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful countries for thirty-two days, and the country has been eviscerated, and essentially is really no longer a threat.
