After asserting the “very profitable” US strikes on Iranian nuclear amenities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, United States President Donald Trump addressed the nation.
Right here is the total transcript of his speech on Saturday night:
A short while in the past, the US army carried out large precision strikes on the three key nuclear amenities within the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
All people heard these names for years as they constructed this horribly damaging enterprise. Our goal was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability and a cease to the nuclear menace posed by the world’s primary state sponsor of terror.
Tonight, I can report back to the world that the strikes had been a spectacular army success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment amenities have been fully and completely obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Center East, should now make peace.
If they don’t, future assaults will probably be far higher and quite a bit simpler.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Dying to America, demise to Israel”.
They’ve been killing our individuals, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs – that was their speciality.
We misplaced over a thousand individuals, and a whole lot of 1000’s all through the Center East and around the globe have died as a direct results of their hate, specifically, so many had been killed by their common, Qassem Soleimani.
I made a decision a very long time in the past that I might not let this occur.
It won’t proceed.
I need to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
We labored as a crew like maybe no crew has ever labored earlier than, and we’ve gone an extended approach to erasing this horrible menace to Israel.
I need to thank the Israeli army for the great job they’ve finished and, most significantly, I need to congratulate the nice American patriots who flew these magnificent machines tonight, and all the United States army on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in lots of, many a long time.
Hopefully, we are going to not want their companies on this capability. I hope that’s so. I additionally need to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, Normal Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular common – and all the sensible army minds concerned on this assault.
With all of that being mentioned, this can’t proceed.
There will probably be both peace or there will probably be tragedy for Iran far higher than we’ve witnessed over the past eight days.
Bear in mind, there are numerous targets left. Tonight’s was probably the most troublesome of all of them by far, and maybe probably the most deadly, but when peace doesn’t come shortly, we are going to go after these different targets with precision, velocity and ability. Most of them might be taken out in a matter of minutes.
There’s no army on the planet that might have finished what we did tonight, not even shut. There has by no means been a army that might do what came about just a bit whereas in the past.
Tomorrow, Normal Caine, Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth, may have a press convention at 8am (12:00 GMT) on the Pentagon, and I need to simply thank everyone, and specifically, God.
I need to simply say, “We love you, God, and we love our nice army. Defend them.” God bless the Center East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
