POTUS: "Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA, and our brave astronauts on . It will be traveling further than any manned rocket has ever flown... they are on the way, and God bless them." 🇺🇸
POTUS addresses the nation: "Tonight, Iran's navy is gone, their air force is in ruins, their leaders, most of them... are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak, their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed, and their weapons, factories, and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces... Our enemies are losing—and America, as it has been for five years under my presidency, is winning, and now, winning bigger than ever before.
From the very first day I announced my campaign, I have vowed that I would NEVER allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This fanatical regime has been chanting “Death to America” for 47 years — and it should have been handled long before I arrived in office."
POTUS on the steps he's taken against Iran, such as the killing of Qasem Soleimani and his termination of Barack Obama's Iran nuclear deal:
"Essentially, I did what no other president was willing to do—they made mistakes, and I am correcting them."
POTUS: "My first preference was always the path of diplomacy. Yet, the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons, and rejected every attempt at an agreement.
For years, everyone has said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons—but in the end, those are just words if you're not willing to take action when the time comes."
"Tonight, I am pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion... We think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in this fight... Now, we must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives."
POTUS: "In one year, we have taken a dead and crippled country and made it the hottest country anywhere in the world, with no inflation, record-setting investment into the United States, and the highest stock market ever. It all positioned us to get rid of a cancer that has long simmered—it’s known as a nuclear Iran, and they didn’t know what was coming."
POTUS: To those countries that can’t get fuel, many of which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion—Number 1, buy oil from the United States. And Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just take it. Iran has been, essentially, decimated. The hard part is done.
POTUS: "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. We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks... In the meantime, discussions are ongoing."
POTUS: "Tonight, every American can look forward to a day when we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression and the specter of nuclear blackmail. Because of the actions we have taken, we are on the cusp of ending Iran's sinister threat to America and the world."
