Thanks very a lot. A short while in the past, the U.S. army carried out large precision strikes on the three key nuclear services within the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

Everyone heard these names for years as they constructed this horribly harmful enterprise. Our goal was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability and a cease to the nuclear risk posed by the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terror. Tonight, I can report back to the world that the strikes had been a spectacular army success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment services have been utterly and completely obliterated.

Iran, the bully of the Center East, should now make peace. If they don’t, future assaults can be far larger and quite a bit simpler. For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Loss of life to America. Loss of life to Israel.” They’ve been killing our folks, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We misplaced over 1,000 folks, and tons of of hundreds all through the Center East and around the globe have died as a direct results of their hate. Specifically, so many had been killed by their normal, Qassem Suleimani.

I made a decision a very long time in the past that I might not let this occur. It won’t proceed.

I need to thank and congratulate Prime Minister [Benjamin] Bibi Netanyahu. We labored as a staff like maybe no staff has ever labored earlier than. And we’ve gone an extended technique to erasing this horrible risk to Israel. I need to thank the Israeli army for the great job they’ve executed, and most significantly, I need to congratulate the nice American patriots who flew these magnificent machines tonight and all the United States army on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in lots of, many many years. Hopefully, we’ll now not want their companies on this capability. I hope that’s so.

I additionally need to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers, Gen. Dan “Razin” Caine, spectacular normal, and all the good army minds concerned on this assault.

With all of that being stated, this can not proceed. There can be both peace, or there can be tragedy for Iran far larger than we have now witnessed over the past eight days. Keep in mind, there are lots of targets left. Tonight’s was essentially the most troublesome of all of them by far and maybe essentially the most deadly. But when peace doesn’t come shortly, we’ll go after these different targets with precision, pace, and talent. Most of them could be taken out in a matter of minutes. There’s no army on the planet that would have executed what we did tonight. Not even shut. There has by no means been a army that would do what befell just a bit whereas in the past.

Tomorrow, Gen. Caine [and] Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth could have a press convention at 8 a.m. on the Pentagon. And I need to simply thank everyone and, particularly, God. I need to simply say, “We love you, God, and we love our nice army. Defend them.” God bless the Center East, God bless Israel, and God bless America. Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
