After asserting the “very profitable” US strikes on Iranian nuclear services 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 navy carried out large precision strikes on the three key nuclear services within the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.
Everyone 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 services 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 lots simpler.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Loss of life to America, dying 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 tons of of 1000’s all through the Center East and all over the world have died as a direct results of their hate, specifically, so many have been killed by their normal, Qassem Soleimani.
I made a decision a very long time in the past that I’d not let this occur.
It is not going to proceed.
I need to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
We labored as a group like maybe no group has ever labored earlier than, and we’ve gone an extended technique to erasing this horrible menace to Israel.
I need to thank the Israeli navy for the great job they’ve completed and, most significantly, I need to congratulate the nice American patriots who flew these magnificent machines tonight, and the entire United States navy on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in lots of, many many years.
Hopefully, we’ll not want their providers on this capability. I hope that’s so. I additionally need to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers, Basic Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular normal – and the entire good navy 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 have now witnessed during the last eight days.
Keep in mind, there are lots 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’ll 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 navy on this planet that might have completed what we did tonight, not even shut. There has by no means been a navy that might do what befell just a bit whereas in the past.
Tomorrow, Basic Caine, Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth, could 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 navy. Shield them.” God bless the Center East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
