00:00We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing
00:07objectives as well. And the truth speaks for itself. I mean, President Trump was very clear
00:11about that. Iran has weaponized energy for decades. Israel clearly sent a warning and POTUS has made
00:18it clear, very clear. Iran knows when you hit Karg Island and you hit military capabilities
00:25on Karg Island, which is the only thing we hit. We can hold anything at issue, anything. The United
00:32States military controls the fate of that country. Iran has the ability to make the right choices.
00:36It should not, going forward, target Arab allies, Arab countries trying to create pain, the pain that
00:44they created themselves. We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear.
00:51We have allies pursuing objectives as well. And the truth speaks for itself. I mean,
00:56President Trump was very clear about that. Iran has weaponized energy for decades.
01:02Israel clearly sent a warning and POTUS has made it clear, very clear. Iran knows when you hit Karg
01:09Island and you hit military capabilities on Karg Island, which is the only thing we hit,
01:14we can hold anything at issue, anything. The United States military controls the fate of that country.
01:20Iran has the ability to make the right choices. It should not, going forward, target Arab allies,
01:28Arab countries trying to create pain, the pain that they created themselves. To date, we've struck
01:33over 7,000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure. That is not incremental. That is
01:40overwhelming force applied with precision. And again, today will be the largest strike package yet,
01:46just like yesterday was. As I've said from day one, our capabilities continue to build. Iran's continue
01:52to degrade. We're hunting and striking death and destruction from above. Iran's air defenses flattened.
02:02Iran's defense industrial base, the factories, the production lines that feed their missile and drone
02:07programs being overwhelmingly destroyed. We've hit hundreds of their defense industrial bases
02:14directly. Their ability to manufacture new ballistic missiles has probably taken the hardest hit of
02:19all. Ballistic missile attacks against our forces, down 90 percent since the start of the conflict.
02:25Same with one-way attack UAVs. Think kamikaze drones, down 90 percent. Now, the Iranians will still shoot,
02:32we know that, but they would shoot a lot more if they could, but they can't. The last job anyone
02:40in
02:40the world wants right now? Senior leader for the IRGC or besiege. Temp jobs, all of them. And to borrow
02:51a page from Admiral Ernest King in World War II, we've decided to share the ocean with Iran. We've given
02:58them the bottom half. We've damaged or sunk over 120 of their Navy ships with battle damage assessments
03:06pending for many more. See, oftentimes we have to wait a few days on battle damage assessment to get
03:11the real number. Their surface fleet is no longer a factor. Their submarines, they once had 11, are gone.
03:17Their military ports are crippled. The media here, not all of it, but much of it, wants you to think
03:25just 19 days into this conflict that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war
03:33or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hear it from me, one of hundreds of thousands
03:43who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, who watched previous foolish politicians like Bush, Obama,
03:51and Biden squander American credibility. This is not those wars. President Trump knows better.
04:01Epic Fury is different. It's laser focused. It's decisive. Our objectives given directly from our
04:09America first president remain exactly what they were on day one. These are not the media's
04:17objectives, not Iran's objectives, not Iran's objectives, not new objectives, our objectives.
04:24Unchanged, on target, and on plan. Destroy missiles, launchers, and Iran's defense industrial base so they
04:35cannot rebuild. Destroy their Navy, and Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Our objectives from day one.
04:45To the patriotic members of the press, nobody can deliver perfection in wartime. This building
04:53knows that more than anyone. But report the reality. We're winning decisively and on our terms.
05:15So, I'll come to you guys tonight. I'll view this budget and brand if I'm приш temple.vä
