00:00A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
00:15Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise.
00:22Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
00:35Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.
00:43Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
00:48Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.
00:53If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
00:58For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel.
01:03They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs.
01:09That was their specialty.
01:11We lost over a thousand people, and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate.
01:20In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani.
01:26I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
01:31It will not continue.
01:33I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
01:37We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before.
01:42And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.
01:46I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
01:52And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight
01:58and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
02:06Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity.
02:10I hope that's so.
02:11I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin-Kane, spectacular general,
02:20and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
02:24With all of that being said, this cannot continue.
02:27There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.
02:35Remember, there are many targets left.
02:38Tonight's was the most difficult of them all, by far, and perhaps the most lethal.
02:45But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill.
02:53Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.
02:57There's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.
03:02There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.
03:08Tomorrow, General Cain, Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon.
03:16And I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God.
03:22I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military.
03:25Protect them.
03:27God bless the Middle East.
03:29God bless Israel.
03:30And God bless America.
03:32Thank you very much.
03:34Thank you.
