00:00President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop the freedom of navigation
00:05and the free flow of energy.
00:07Let me be clear, it is a good thing to wipe out terrorists who indiscriminately target
00:13civilians and attempt to hold the global economy hostage.
00:17And President Trump should be commended for doing so.
00:21As the President made unequivocally clear to the remaining elements of this terrorist
00:25regime in his statement yesterday, if they do anything to stop the flow of oil or goods
00:30within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the world's most powerful military 20 times
00:36harder than they have been hit thus far.
00:39Moving forward, the stated objectives for Operation Epic Fury remain the same.
00:44Destroy the terrorist regime's ballistic missiles, raise their Iranian missile industry to the
00:49ground, ensure their terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region, and ensure
00:54that Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.
00:57President Trump remains confident these goals will be accomplished in swift fashion.
01:02As for the oil, President Trump fully expected the rogue Iranian regime to try and disrupt
01:07the global markets.
01:08That's why President Trump and his energy team have been planning for this long before
01:13the strike and have moved quickly to address these temporary disruptions.
01:17Thus far, the Trump administration has offered political risk insurance to tankers operating
01:22in the Gulf, the Treasury temporarily waived certain oil-related sanctions, and the Commander-in-Chief
01:28has offered the U.S. Navy to escort tankers when necessary.
01:32The President and his energy team are closely watching the markets, speaking with industry
01:37leaders, and the U.S. military is jarring up additional options following the President's
01:42directive to continue keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.
01:45I will not broadcast what those options look like, but just know the President is not afraid
01:51to use them.
01:52Rest assured to the American people, the recent increase in oil and gas prices is temporary,
01:57and this operation will result in lower gas prices in the long term.
02:02Once the national security objectives of Operation Epic Fury are fully achieved, Americans will
02:08see oil and gas prices drop rapidly, potentially even lower than they were prior to the start
02:14of the operation.
02:15And we will live in a world where Iran can no longer threaten the United States or our allies
02:21with a nuclear bomb.
02:22President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop the freedom of navigation
02:27and the free flow of energy.
