Highlights from Trump’s speech are as follows:

“I want to give information about Operation Epic Fury, because it’s a very appropriate name — we are destroying them. In recent weeks, we have devastated Iran at a level never seen before. We have the most powerful armed forces in the world.

We are destroying their missiles, drone depots, and navy; their air force is gone. We destroyed most of their missiles and launch systems.

We destroyed 90% of launchers and 90% of the missiles themselves. We also target their weapons and drone factories.

There are fake reports saying I want a deal. No — they are begging. The Iranians are begging for a deal.

Neighboring countries were neutral, but when Iran attacked Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, and Oman, everyone was shocked.

They aim to dominate the Middle East, not just Israel.

We expected to reach our goals in 4 to 6 weeks, but we are far ahead and destroyed 154 ships.

We have the best military in the world.

Now they have a chance to make a deal. If we can make the right deal, the Strait of Hormuz will open.”
