Thanks very a lot. A short while in the past, the U.S. navy 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 have been a spectacular navy success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment services have been fully and completely obliterated.

Iran, the bully of the Center East, should now make peace. If they don’t, future assaults shall be far better and quite a bit simpler. For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Demise to America. Demise to Israel.” They’ve been killing our individuals, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We misplaced over 1,000 individuals, and lots of of hundreds all through the Center East and world wide have died as a direct results of their hate. Particularly, so many have 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 is not going to proceed.

I need to thank and congratulate Prime Minister [Benjamin] Bibi Netanyahu. We labored as a crew like maybe no crew 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 navy for the great job they’ve completed, and most significantly, I need to congratulate the good American patriots who flew these magnificent machines tonight and the entire United States navy on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in lots of, many many years. Hopefully, we are going to not want their providers 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 the entire sensible navy minds concerned on this assault.

With all of that being mentioned, this can not proceed. There shall be both peace, or there shall be tragedy for Iran far better than we’ve got witnessed during the last eight days. Keep in mind, there are a lot 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 are going to go after these different targets with precision, velocity, and ability. Most of them might be taken out in a matter of minutes. There’s no navy on this planet that might have completed what we did tonight. Not even shut. There has by no means been a navy that might do what happened 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, specifically, God. I need to simply say, “We love you, God, and we love our nice navy. Defend them.” God bless the Center East, God bless Israel, and God bless America. Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
