The strikes were reported as a "spectacular military success," with Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities "completely and totally obliterated."

Rationale for Military Action

The speaker stated that Iran has been saying "Death to America death to Israel" for 40 years.

The speaker specifically mentioned General Qassem Soleimani as being responsible for many deaths.

US-Israeli Cooperation

The speaker thanked and congratulated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing that they "worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before." The speaker also thanked the Israeli military for their role in the operation.

Future Actions and Threats

The speaker warned that if Iran does not make peace, future attacks will be "far greater and a lot easier." The speaker stated that "there are many targets left" and that if peace does not come quickly, the US will go after those other targets with "precision speed and skill." The speaker claimed that most of these targets "can be taken out in a matter of minutes."

Military Capabilities

The speaker asserted that "there's no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight, not even close." The speaker also congratulated the "great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many many decades."

Upcoming Press Conference

General Dan Raisen Kaine and Secretary of Defense Pete Hgsth will hold a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon to provide further details on the operation.

Call for Peace and Divine Blessing

The speaker expressed a desire for peace in the Middle East and stated, "there will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days." The speaker concluded by thanking God and asking for protection for the US military, blessing the Middle East, Israel, and America.

Conclusion

The statement outlines a significant military action taken by the US against Iran's nuclear capabilities, justified by Iran's past actions and threats. It highlights the close cooperation between the US and Israel, warns of further military action if peace is not achieved, and emphasizes the superior capabilities of the US military. The statement concludes with a call for peace and a prayer for divine blessing.
