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 complete transcript of his speech on Saturday night:
A short while in the past, the US navy carried out huge 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 harmful 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 have been a spectacular navy success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment amenities have been utterly and completely obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Center East, should now make peace.
If they don’t, future assaults will likely be far better and quite a bit simpler.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Loss of life 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 hundreds all through the Center East and world wide have died as a direct results of their hate, specifically, so many have been killed by their common, Qassem Soleimani.
I made a decision a very long time in the past that I’d not let this occur.
It won’t proceed.
I wish to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
We labored as a workforce like maybe no workforce has ever labored earlier than, and we’ve gone an extended strategy to erasing this horrible menace to Israel.
I wish to thank the Israeli navy for the fantastic job they’ve accomplished and, most significantly, I wish to congratulate the good American patriots who flew these magnificent machines tonight, and all the United States navy on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in lots of, many many years.
Hopefully, we are going to not want their providers on this capability. I hope that’s so. I additionally wish to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, Normal Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular common – and all the sensible navy minds concerned on this assault.
With all of that being mentioned, this can not proceed.
There will likely be both peace or there will likely be tragedy for Iran far better than now we have witnessed during the last eight days.
Bear in mind, there are a lot of targets left. Tonight’s was essentially the most tough of all of them by far, and maybe essentially the most deadly, but when peace doesn’t come shortly, we are going to go after these different targets with precision, velocity and talent. Most of them will be taken out in a matter of minutes.
There’s no navy on the planet that would have accomplished what we did tonight, not even shut. There has by no means been a navy that would do what befell 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 wish to simply thank all people, and specifically, God.
I wish to simply say, “We love you, God, and we love our nice navy. Shield them.” God bless the Center East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
