00:00A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
00:09Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,
00:18a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.
00:23Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.
00:33For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass
00:42murder,
00:43targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.
00:48Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran,
00:56holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.
01:02In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American military personnel.
01:12In 2000, they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Cole.
01:19Many died.
01:21Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American service members in Iraq.
01:26The regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle East in recent years,
01:35as well as U.S. Naval and commercial vessels in international shipping lands.
01:41It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any longer.
01:46Thank you.
01:47Thank you.
01:48Thank you.
