After saying 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 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 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 loads simpler.
For 40 years, Iran has been saying, “Demise 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 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 have been killed by their basic, 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 wish to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
We labored as a staff like maybe no staff has ever labored earlier than, and we’ve gone a protracted approach to erasing this horrible menace to Israel.
I wish to thank the Israeli navy for the fantastic job they’ve achieved and, most significantly, I wish 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 a long time.
Hopefully, we are going to now not want their providers on this capability. I hope that’s so. I additionally wish to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Workers, Normal Dan “Razin” Caine – spectacular basic – and the entire sensible navy minds concerned on this assault.
With all of that being stated, this can not proceed.
There will probably be both peace or there will probably be tragedy for Iran far higher than now we have witnessed during the last eight days.
Keep in mind, there are lots of 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 are going to go after these different targets with precision, pace and talent. Most of them will be taken out in a matter of minutes.
There’s no navy on the earth that would have achieved what we did tonight, not even shut. There has by no means been a navy that would do what occurred just a bit whereas in the past.
Tomorrow, Normal Caine, Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth, can 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. Defend them.” God bless the Center East. God bless Israel, and God bless America.
Thanks very a lot. Thanks.
