00:00Thank you very much.

00:11A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three

00:18key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

00:28Nobody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.

00:36Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the

00:42nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.

00:47Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.

00:56Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.

01:01Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.

01:06If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.

01:10For 40 years, Iran has been saying, death to America, death to Israel.

01:15They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with

01:20roadside bombs.

01:22That was their specialty.

01:23We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and

01:29around the world have died as a direct result of their hate.

01:32In particular, so many were killed by their General Qasem Soleimani.

01:39I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.

01:43It will not continue.

01:45I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.

01:50We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before.

01:55And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.

01:59I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.

02:04And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent

02:09machines tonight, and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which

02:15the world has not seen in many, many decades.

02:18Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity.

02:23I hope that's so.

02:24I also want to congratulate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisencain,

02:30spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.

02:37With all of that being said, this cannot continue.

02:39There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have

02:45witnessed over the last eight days.

02:47Remember, there are many targets left.

02:52Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.

02:58But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision,

03:04speed and skill.

03:06Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.

03:09There is no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.

03:14There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.

03:20Tomorrow, General Cain, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at

03:278 a.m. at the Pentagon.

03:29And I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God.

03:34I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military.

03:38Protect them.

03:40God bless the Middle East.

03:42God bless Israel.

03:43And God bless America.

03:45Thank you very much.

03:57God bless you, God bless you.
