00:03ian has been a threat to the united states and the free world for 47 years chance of death to
00:11america targeting our people killing americans lying and blackmailing their way toward a nuclear
00:17weapon so they thought no longer not on our watch other presidents mark time and kick the can down
00:26the road president trump made history from the strike that took out qasem sulemani to tearing up the
00:35disastrous obama iran deal to the precision campaign that obliterated iran's nuclear sites
00:41in operation midnight hammer to the decisive military victory we just achieved in operation
00:46epic fury no other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander-in-chief
00:54president trump forged this moment iran begged for this ceasefire and we all know it as a president
01:03truth this morning a big day for world peace iran wants it to happen they've had enough
01:11operation epic fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield a capital v military
01:22victory by any measure epic fury decimated iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for
01:30years to come you see in less than 40 days one of our combatant commands central command centcom
01:38using less than 10 percent of america's total combat power dismantled one of the world's largest
01:46militaries the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending
01:53itself its people or its territory we untied just a fraction of our strength and iran suffered a
02:01devastating military defeat together with our israeli partners america's military achieved every single
02:10objective on plan on schedule exactly as laid out from day one iran's navy is at the bottom of the
02:19sea
02:19whether it's the soleimani class their frigate class their prized drone aircraft carriers submarines
02:26mine layers sunk iran's air force has been wiped out iran no longer has an air defense any sort of
02:35a
02:36comprehensive air defense system we own their skies their missile program is functionally destroyed
02:43launchers production facilities and existing stockpiles depleted and decimated and almost completely
02:51ineffective iran shot hundreds and hundreds of missiles and attack one-way attack drones at our
02:56aircraft carrier they were obsessed with it and they never got even close every single one of those
03:03shots easily shot down miles and miles away from the abe lincoln they were blowing ammo into fantasy land
03:13contrast that with most significantly in last night's wave of more than 800 strikes we finished completely
03:22destroying iran's defense industrial base a core pillar of our mission objective what little they have left
03:31buried in bunkers is all they will have they can still shoot we know that their command and control
03:38is so decimated they can't really talk and coordinate so they still may shoot here and there but that would
03:43be very very unwise but they can no longer build missiles build rockets build launchers or build uavs their
03:53factories have been raised to the ground set back in historic fashion you see had iran refused our terms
04:03the next targets would have been their power plants their bridges and oil and energy infrastructure
04:10targets they could not defend and could not realistically rebuild it would have taken them decades and we
04:17were locked and loaded they couldn't defend against it president trump had the power to cripple iran's
04:24entire economy in minutes but he choose he chose mercy he spared those targets because iran accepted the
04:33ceasefire under overwhelming pressure the new iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than
04:42the fate that awaited them this new regime just happened to look at what happened to their predecessors
04:49their top leadership was systematically eliminated the previous iranian supreme leader dead
04:58the supreme national security council secretary dead the supreme leader office advisor dead
05:05the supreme leader military office chief dead the defense minister no longer with us the irgc commander
05:16dead the armed forces general staff commander dead the intelligence minister dead the irgc navy commander
05:26no longer here no longer here the irgc intel chief dead i skipped over a bunch and i could go
05:33on and on and on
05:36to include the new so-called new supreme leader wounded and disfigured
05:42this new regime was out of options and out of time so they cut a deal they know this agreement
05:49means
05:49that they will never ever possess a nuclear weapon under the terms any nuclear material they should have
05:57will be removed any material excuse me they should not have will be removed right now their dust is
06:05deeply buried and watched 24 7 overhead the president has been clear from the beginning there will be
06:11no iranian nuclear weapons period full stop other presidents said it president trump did it operation epic
06:22fury less than six weeks clear mission decisive action overwhelming firepower america first a historic
06:31battlefield victory for decades iran killed americans with roadside bombs in iraq using cowardly proxies to
06:40do their dirty work while they hid safely in tehran they struck our embassies with car bombs and attacked
06:46from the shadows never daring to face us toe to toe they thought they could bleed america with impunity
06:55well they just learned the hard way what happens when you try to fight us directly and even when they
07:02got lucky one time in 40 days and down two of our pilots they couldn't hold them in a daring
07:0914
07:10hour rescue operation seven hours in daylight and seven hours of night both pilots were recovered safely not once
07:20but twice a daylight thunder run right up the middle of their country boots on the ground
07:30a midnight raid right up the middle of their country boots on the ground zero american casualties
07:41the iranians humiliated and demoralized we control their fate not the other way around that's why they
07:48came to the table iran's defeat is america's retribution for every american lost to iranian terror
07:57especially those brave troops killed by iranian made roadside bombs in iraq that my generation knows so
08:03well and for the suffering their regime has inflicted around the world now we have a chance at real peace
08:10and a real deal the war department for now for now has done its part we stand ready in the
08:19background to
08:20ensure iran upholds every reasonable term and as everyone knows nobody makes a better deal than

10:18bravery will never be forgotten on february 28th the president united states ordered the joint force to
10:25execute operation epic fury with the direct direction to accomplish three distinct military objectives
10:32destroy iran's ballistic missile and drawing drone capabilities destroy the iranian navy and destroy
10:39their defense industrial base to ensure that iran cannot reconstitute the ability to project power
10:45outside their borders over the course of 38 days of major combat operation the joint force achieved the
10:52military objectives as defined by the president we welcome the ongoing ceasefire and as the secretary
10:58said we hope that iran chooses a lasting peace but as secretary hegseth said let us be clear a ceasefire
11:06is a
11:06pause and the joint force remains ready if ordered or called upon to resume combat operations with the same
11:14speed and precision as we've demonstrated over the last 38 days and we hope that that is not the case
11:21i want to congratulate and thank the leadership today at u.s central command including the commander admiral

13:03ready to do so again and i want to thank my team at the joint staff who work literally around

13:11in order to help me offer the options that i must with the associated risks to the secretary and to
13:18the president they are the hardest working people that i know and i am deeply grateful for their service
13:25most importantly today i want to thank america's members of the joint force who've poured everything
13:31that they can into operation epic fury and their families who've worked 24 hours a day for 38 days
13:39the secretary and i could not be more proud of each and every one of you and we deeply appreciate
13:46the support of the american people who we know always have us in our thoughts and prayers
13:53and we can feel this literally every single day as the secretary said the united states has devastated
14:00the regime's ability to harm americans and our interests for years to come since the beginning
14:06of major combat operations the united states joint forces struck more than 13 000 targets including in
14:13that 13 000 more than 4 000 dynamic targets that popped up on the battlefield and were immediately
14:19addressed thanks to the exceptional command and control system and intelligence acumen and agility of our
14:26joint force centcom forces destroyed approximately 80 percent of iran's air defense systems striking
14:33more than 1500 air defense targets more than 450 ballistic missile storage facilities 800 one-way attack
14:41drones for storage facilities all of these systems are gone we've devastated iran's command and control and
14:48logistical networks destroying more than 2 000 command and control nodes and degrading their ability to
14:54target u.s and friendly forces it is and we know this incredibly frustrating right now to be a lower
15:02level
15:03iranian commander trying to fight your fight as the secretary said the iranian navy now
15:09lies mostly at the bottom of the arabian gulf and we assess that we've sunk more than 90 of their
15:15regular fleet
15:15including all of the major surface combatants as the secretary said 150 ships are at the bottom of the
15:22ocean and half of the irgc navy's small attack boats joint fires projected from the land sea and air
15:30executed more than 700 strikes against naval mine targets and we had assessed that we destroyed more
15:37than 95 percent of their naval mines and perhaps most importantly we've destroyed iran's defense
15:45industrial base their ability to reconstitute those capabilities for years to come
15:51we attacked along with our partners approximately 90 percent of their weapons factories every factory
15:58that produced shaheed one-way attack drones was struck every factory that produces the guidance systems
16:05that go into those drones was struck their missile defense industrial bases shattered with more than 80 percent
16:12of their missile facilities gone as well as their solid rocket motor production capability it will take
16:19years for iran to rebuild any major surface combatants as more than 20 naval production and fabrication
16:26facilities have been damaged or destroyed and nearly 80 percent of iran's nuclear industrial base was hit
16:33further degrading their attempts to attain a nuclear weapon throughout operation epic fury our joint
16:41force struck at the heart of iran's ability to project power and threaten the united states in the region
16:49and in order to do this it required the service and sacrifice of more than 50 000 american war fighters
16:56deployed across centcom ucom and stateside the joint force flew more than 10 000 missions including 62 bomber
17:07missions 18 of which flew round trip from the united states to deliver military tar on bombs on military
17:15targets each of these missions was more than 30 hours in duration and we did that 18 times no other
17:24military
17:24in the world can do that and it's a testament to the logistical force that quietly serves behind them
17:31i cannot thank transcom and the air force tanker and mobility force more combined with army and navy
17:39joint fires we stuck more than 13 000 targets and along with our gulf partners we've thus far intercepted 1700
17:47ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones defending our forces and our partners in the civilian population
17:54and we remain ready to do so should the need arise along the way we consume more than six million
18:03meals
18:04and by my estimate more than nine hundred and fifty thousand gallons of coffee two million energy drinks
18:11and a lot of nicotine but i am not saying that we have a problem
18:16i've laid out the statistics but it does not truly capture the nature of combat
18:23this is gritty and unforgiving business it's chaotic it's hot it's dark it's unpredictable
18:30and there's always unknowns and our people proudly walked into those unknowns and continue forward
18:38and through it all the joint force has demonstrated the unwavering resolve that the nation demands of us
18:45we are a mission focused force and our objectives always is to create the conditions for peace
18:51and today we have while be ready should that peace break which we hope it is not and we remain
18:58ready
18:59before i turn it back to the secretary i also want to quickly revisit the rescue of the air force
19:06fighter crew over the weekend to give you an update we've had the secretary and i've had the profound honor
19:12of speaking directly with many of the war fighters on that mission from the downed crew
19:17that uh that were picked up to those forces that went and got them hearing these stories firsthand has only
19:26deepened our appreciation for their tenacity creativity courage and grit of the american joint force
19:35this is a story that gets to the very heart and soul of who we are as a joint force
19:44who we are as americans
19:46selfless sacrifice in service of others from the backseater dude 44 bravo who's pure and joy at seeing those helicopters
20:01come into the valley
20:03to get his front seater in daylight because he knew the front seater did not have a jacket
20:11and was so filled with heart leaping joy at his front seater getting picked up
20:18to the nighttime folks that went in and then got him to the tanker
