00:00As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in
00:07this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran.
00:14As I stated in my announcement of Operation Epic Fury, our objectives are very simple and clear.
00:21We are systematically dismantling the regime's ability to threaten America or project power outside of their borders.
00:30That means eliminating Iran's Navy, which is now absolutely destroyed, hurting their Air Force and their missile program at levels
00:40never seen before, and annihilating their defense industrial base.
00:44We've done all of it. Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their missiles are just about used
00:51up or beaten.
00:52Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran military, crush their ability to support terrorist proxies, and deny them the ability
01:00to build a nuclear bomb.
01:02Our armed forces have been extraordinary.
01:05There's never been anything like it militarily. Everyone is talking about it.
01:11And tonight, I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion.
01:17As we celebrate this progress, we think especially of the 13 American warriors who have laid down their lives in
01:25this fight to prevent our children from ever having to face a nuclear Iran.
01:32Twice this past month, I've traveled to Dover Air Force Base, and it's been something.
01:39I wanted to be with those heroes as they return to American soil, and I was with them and their
01:44families, their parents, their wives, their husbands.
01:48We salute them, and now we must honor them by completing the mission for which they gave their lives.
01:55And every single one of the people, their loved ones said, please, sir, please finish the job, every one of
02:02them.
02:03And we are going to finish the job, and we're going to finish it very fast.
02:07I've made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved.
02:14Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight that we are on track to complete all of America's
02:21military objectives shortly, very shortly.
02:24We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.
02:29We're going to bring them back to the Stone Ages where they belong.
02:33In the meantime, discussions are ongoing.
02:37Regime change was not our goal.
02:39We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders' death.
02:48They're all dead.
02:50The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.
02:54Yet, if during this period of time no deal is made, we have our eyes on key targets.
02:59If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very
03:05hard and probably simultaneously.
03:08We have not hit their oil, even though that's the easiest target of all, because it would not give them
03:15even a small chance of survival or rebuilding.
03:19But we could hit it, and it would be gone, and there's not a thing they could do about it.
03:25They have no anti-aircraft equipment.
03:27Their radar is 100% annihilated.
03:31We are unstoppable as a military force.
03:34The nuclear sites that we obliterated with the B-2 bombers have been hit so hard that it would take
03:41months to get near the nuclear dust,
03:44and we have it under intense satellite surveillance and control.
03:49If we see them make a move, even a move for it, we'll hit them with missiles very hard again.
03:56We have all the cards.
03:58They have none.
04:10We have all the cards.
