Trump announces the start of a war with Iran
President Donald J. Trump announces the commencement of major combat operations in Iran, stating the objective is to defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime (0:00-0:15). He condemns the regime's 47-year history of "death to America" chants and campaigns of bloodshed, citing specific instances like the US embassy takeover in Tehran (0:49-0:58), the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut (1:04-1:11), and the attack on the USS Cole (1:13-1:20). He also blames Iran's proxies for launching numerous attacks against American forces in the Middle East and for the October 7th attacks on Israel by Hamas (2:00-2:14). Trump declares that Iran is the world's number one state sponsor of terror and emphasizes that this regime will never have a nuclear weapon (2:22-2:46). He mentions "Operation Midnight Hammer" last June, which he claims obliterated Iran's nuclear program (2:48-2:59). Despite attempts to make a deal, Iran refused to renounce its nuclear ambitions and continued developing long-range missiles that could threaten allies and even the American homeland (3:26-3:52). The President outlines the military's ongoing operation to prevent the dictatorship from threatening America's national security interests, stating they will destroy Iran's missiles, annihilate their navy, and ensure terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region (4:10-4:42). He reassures that his administration has minimized risks to US personnel but acknowledges the possibility of casualties (5:32-5:49). Finally, Trump addresses the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and other Iranian forces, offering them complete immunity if they lay down their weapons, or otherwise, they will "face certain death" (6:25-6:50). To the people of Iran, he states that "the hour of your freedom is at hand" and encourages them to take over their government once the operation is finished, emphasizing that America is backing them with overwhelming strength (6:51-7:44). He concludes by blessing the armed forces and the United States (7:49-7:57).
