President Trump's full address to the nation on Iran War [0:00-5:04]

Thank you very much. My fellow Americans, good evening. Let me begin by congratulating the team at NASA and our brave astronauts on the successful launch of Artemis II. It was quite something. It will be traveling further than any man-drocket has ever flown and will very substantially pass the moon, go around it and come back home from a distance that has never been done before. It's amazing. They are on the way and God bless them. These are brave people. They want to God bless those four unbelievable astronauts. As we speak this evening, it's been just one month since the United States military began operation, epic fury targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror Iran. In these past four weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield. Victories like few people have ever seen before. Tonight Iran's navy is gone. Their air forces in ruins. Their leaders, most of them, terrorists regime they led are now dead. Their command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated as we speak. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed and their weapons, factories and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces, very few of them left. Never in the history of warfare has an enemy suffered such clear and devastating large scale losses in a matter of weeks. Losing in America as it has been for five years under my presidency is winning and now winning bigger than ever before. Before discussing this current situation, I also want to thank our troops for the massive job they did in taking the country of NSW in a matter of minutes that hit was quick lethal, violent and respected by everyone all over the world. After rebuilding our military during my first term, we have by far the strongest military anywhere in the world and now we're working along with NSW and our true sense joint venture partners we're getting along incredibly well in the production and sale of massive amounts of oil and gas. The second largest reserves on earth after the United States of America were now totally independent of the Middle East and yet we are there to help. We don't have to be there. We don't need their oil. We don't need anything they have but we're there to help our allies. Tonight I want to provide an update on the tremendous progress our warriors have made in a run and discuss why Operation Epic Fury is necessary for the safety of America and the security of the free world. From the very first day I announced my campaign for President in 2015, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This vernacular regime has been chanting death to America, death to Israel, for 47 years. Their proxies were behind the murder of 241 Americans and the marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our service members with roadside bombs. They were involved in the attack on the USS Cole and they carried out the countless other heinous acts including the blood, just horrible bloody atrocities of October 7th and Israel, something that most people have never seen anything like it. This murderous regime also recently killed 45,000 of their own people who were protesting in Iran, 45,000 dead for these terrorists to have nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat. The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest and mass murder from behind a nuclear shield. I will never let that happen and neither should any of our past presidents. This situation has been going on for 47 years and should have been handled long before I arrived in office. I did many things during my two terms
