US President Donald Trump addressed the nation on Wednesday and offered an update on the war in Iran. Addressing the nation, he said Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is in ruins, and their leadersโmost of themโand the terrorist regime they led are now dead. He added that Iranโs command and control of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is being decimated and their their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed.
Trump said, “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 4 weeks, our armed forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefieldโvictories like few people have ever seen before.” He adds, “Tonight, Iran’s Navy is gone, their Air Force is in ruins, and their leadersโmost of themโand the terrorist 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, with 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.”
Addressing the nation, he said, “…Before discussing the current situation, I also want to thank our troops for the masterful job they did in taking the country of Venezuela 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.” He adds, “Now we’re working along with Venezuela and are, in a true sense, joint venture partners. We’re getting along incredibly well in the production and sale of massive amounts of oil and gasโthe second largest reserves on Earth after the United States of America. We’re 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, or out.”
