00:03A 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.
00:16Everybody 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.
00:32Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success.
00:39Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.
00:44Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace.
00:47If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.
00:51For 40 years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel.
00:56They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs.
01:01That was their specialty.
01:02We 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.
01:10In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani.
01:15I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen.
01:19It will not continue.
01:20I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
01:25We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before.
01:28And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel.
01:32I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done.
01:36And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.
01:47Hopefully we will no longer need their services in this capacity.
01:51I hope that's so.
01:53I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Raisin Cane, spectacular general, and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack.
02:03With all of that being said, this cannot continue.
02:05There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.
02:12Remember, there are many targets left.
02:16Tonight's was the most difficult of them all by far and perhaps the most lethal.
02:21But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill.
02:28Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes.
02:31There is no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close.
02:35There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago.
02:40Tomorrow, General Cain, Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon.
02:47And I want to just thank everybody.
02:48And in particular, God, I want to just say we love you, God, and we love our great military.
