After saying 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.
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 have been a spectacular navy success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment services have been utterly and completely obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Center East, should now make peace.
If they don’t, future assaults might be far higher and so much simpler.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Loss of life to America, dying to Israel”.
They’ve been killing our folks, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs – that was their speciality.
We misplaced over a thousand folks, 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 common, Qassem Soleimani.
I made a decision a very long time in the past that I might not let this occur.
It is not going to proceed.
I wish 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 wish to thank the Israeli navy for the great job they’ve accomplished and, most significantly, I wish to congratulate the nice 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 a long time.
Hopefully, we’ll now not want their companies on this capability. I hope that’s so. I additionally wish to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, Common Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular common – and all the sensible navy minds concerned on this assault.
With all of that being stated, this can not proceed.
There might be both peace or there might 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 rapidly, we’ll go after these different targets with precision, velocity and talent. Most of them could be taken out in a matter of minutes.
There’s no navy on the planet that might have accomplished what we did tonight, not even shut. There has by no means been a navy that might do what passed off just a bit whereas in the past.
Tomorrow, Common Caine, Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth, could 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.
