00:00A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.
00:08Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian
00:16regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people. Its menacing activities directly endanger
00:26the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world.
00:32For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign
00:40of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent
00:46people in many, many countries. Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover
00:54of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.
01:01In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241 American
01:10military personnel. In 2000, they knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS
01:18call. Many died. Iranian 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
01:32in the Middle East in recent years, as well as U.S. naval and commercial vessels in international
01:39shipping lands. It's been mass terror, and we're not going to put up with it any longer.
