00:00The president said yesterday for the first time that he had to strike Iran because he believes that Iran was
00:05going to strike U.S. targets within seven days.
00:08And then he then bumped that down later to three days. Where is he getting that?
00:13Well, that's not the first time the president has said that he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury because he
00:18felt as though Iran was going to strike the United States and our assets in the region first.
00:23Again, I addressed this in the last briefing. This was a feeling the president had based on facts.
00:28Facts provided to him by his top negotiators who had been engaged with the Iranian regime in a good faith
00:33effort.
00:34The Iranian regime regime was lying, deceiving the United States of America, clearly trying to continue their nuclear program to
00:42create a bomb that would, of course, threaten the United States of America.
00:46Again, their ballistic missile arsenal, they were rapidly and aggressively increasing that by the month to a place where they
00:53would essentially build immunity for themselves,
00:55where a future president or President Trump would not be able to launch this incredibly successful operation.
01:01And so the president, again, as I have reiterated and he has said, was not going to sit back and
01:06allow the Iranian regime to threaten or to attack the United States of America any longer.
