A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.

Adverbs of degree

Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.

Adverbs of manner

Its menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas and our allies throughout the world.

For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United States, our troops and the innocent people in many, many countries.

Among the regime's very first acts was to back a violent takeover of the US embassy in Tehran, holding dozens of American hostages for 444 days.

In 1983, Iran's proxies carried out the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut that killed 241American military personnel.

They knew and were probably involved with the attack on the USS Cole.

Iranian forces killed and maimed hundreds of American servicemembers.

In Iraq, the regime's proxies have continued to launch countless attacks against American forces stationed in the Middle east in recent years, as well as US Naval and commercial vessels in international shipping lands.

It's been mass terror and we're not going to put up with it any longer.

From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime has armed, trained and funded terrorist militias that have soaked the earth with blood and guts.

And it was Iran's proxy, Hamas, that launched the monstrous October 7 attacks on Israel, slaughtering more than 1,000 innocent people, including 46Americans, while taking 12 of our citizens hostage.

It was brutal, something like the world has never seen before.

Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror and just recently killed tens of thousands of its own citizens on the street as they protested.

It has always been the policy of the United States, in particular my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon.

I'll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon.

That is why in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, we obliterated the regime's nuclear program at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan.

After that attack, we warned them never to resume their malicious pursuit of nuclear weapons.

They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions and we can't take it anymore.

Instead, they attempted to rebuild their nuclear program and to continue developing long range missiles that can now threaten our very good friends and allies in Europe.

Our troops stationed overseas and could soon reach the American homeland.

Just imagine how emboldened this regime would be if they ever had and actually were armed with nuclear weapons as a means to deliver their message.

For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.

We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground.

We are going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces.

And no longer use their IEDs or roadside bombs as they are sometimes called, to so gravely wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans.

And we will ensure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon.

This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces.

I built and rebuilt our military in my first administration.

And there is no military on earth even close to its power, strength or sophistication.

My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to US Personnel in the region.

Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill.

The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties that often happens in war.

But we're doing this not for now, we're doing this for the future.

We pray for every service member as they selflessly risk their lives to ensure that Americans and our children will never be threatened by a nuclear armed Iran.

We ask God to protect all of our heroes in harm's way.

And we trust that with his help, the men and women of the armed forces will prevail.

We have the greatest in the world and they will prevail.

To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative, face certain death.

You will be treated fairly with total immunity or.

Finally, to the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.

For generations, for many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it.

No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.

Now you have a president who is giving you what you want.

America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.

Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.

May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces.

May God bless the United States of America.
