00:00:27.800Today, the United States military continues to carry out large scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.
00:00:42.560Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program and Operation Midnight Hammer a short while ago,
00:00:50.780we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they were unable to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up.
00:01:02.280But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.
00:01:07.840In addition, the regime's conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically.
00:01:13.320And this posed a very clear, colossal threat to America and our forces stationed overseas.
00:01:20.540The regime already had missiles capable of hitting Europe and our bases both local and overseas
00:01:26.820and would soon have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.
00:01:32.620The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapon development and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from making these highly forbidden by us nuclear weapons.
00:01:47.520We were the ones that were complaining.
00:01:49.280We were the ones that wanted it stopped.
