• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Over the past thirty six hours, the United States and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury, one of the largest,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Nobody's seen anything like it. We have hit hundreds of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Just now was.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Announced that we knocked out nine ships plus their naval building,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: all in a matter of literally minutes. Iran's formerly supreme leader,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Ayatola Hamene is dead. This wretched and vile man had
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: thousands of innocent people all across many countries. Last night,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: all over Iran, the voices of the Iranian people could
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: be heard cheering and celebrating in the streets when his
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: death was announced. The entire military command is gone as well,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and many of them want to surrender into.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Saving their lives. They want immunity. They're calling by the thousands.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: We have very strong objectives. They could have done something
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, but they just couldn't get there. Earlier Today,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: sent Kam shared the news that three US military service
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: members have been killed in action. As one nation, we
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: grieve for the true American patriots who have made the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: righteous mission.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: For which they gave their lives.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of the fallen.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That's the way.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It is likely be more, but will do everything possible
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: where that won't be the case. But America will avenge
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization. They have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: waged war against civilization itself. Our resolve and likewise that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: of Israel, has never been stronger. America is now again
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the richest, most powerful nation in the world by far.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But the only reason we enjoy the quality of life
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that we do read them and security as we have
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: done things that others are unable to do. But it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: because of warriors who are willing to lay down their
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: lives to do battle with our enemies, and they do
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: battle better than anybody. An Iranian regime armed with long
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: range missiles and nuclear weapons would be a dire threat
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to every American. We cannot allow a nation that raises
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: terrorists armies to possess such weapons, would allow them to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: extort the world to their evil.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Will not going to let it happen.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: We're not happening to us, and we're not going to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: let it happen to others. The United States says the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: strongest military the world has ever seen. I rebuilt our
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: military in my first term. There's never been a military
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like we possess, and frankly there's nobody even. But we
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: are now using that military for good We want to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have it for good purpose. We're undertaking this massive operation
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: not merely to ensure security for our own time and place,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but for our children and their children, just as our
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ancestors have done for us many, many years ago.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: This is the duty and the burden of a free people.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: for almost fifty years, these wicked extremists have been attacking
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the United States while chanting the slogan death to America
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: or death to Israel or both. They are the world's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: number one state sponsor of terror. We are the world's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: greatest and most power powful nation, so we can do
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: something about what they do. These intolerable threats will not
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: continue any longer. I once again urged the Revolutionary Guard
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the Iranian military police to lay down your arms and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: receive full immunity or face certain death. It will be certain,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: death won't be pretty. I call upon all Iranian patriots
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: who yearn for freedom to seize this moment to be brave,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: be bold, be heroic, and take back your country. America
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is with you. I made a promise to you, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I fulfilled that promise.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: The rest will be up to you, but we'll be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: there to help. Thank you.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: God bless you to our incredible warriors, and God bless
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the United States of America.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
