Trump's Nationwide Address on the Iran War

• 9:05 Achieve a "rapid, decisive, overwhelming victory" in the Iran conflict.

• 9:11 Never allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.

• 9:12 No need for oil from the Middle East.

• 9:14 The core strategic goal of the Iran conflict is "nearly complete".

• 9:15 We did not need the Strait of Hormuz in the past, and we do not need it now; once the conflict is over, the strait will naturally open.

• 9:17 Iran had previously been stockpiling conventional ballistic missiles, which could soon have "reached the U.S. mainland, Europe, and almost anywhere else on the planet".

• 9:19 The rise in gasoline prices is due to Iran's attacks on tankers, a "short-term" phenomenon; the U.S. has plenty of natural gas.

• 9:19 Obama's Iran nuclear deal would lead to Iran having a stockpile of nuclear weapons, and if there hadn't been a withdrawal from the nuclear deal, Israel would not exist.

• 9:20 In the next two to three weeks, we will strike them hard; regime change is not our plan, but it has happened.

• 9:20 The goal is clear: to destroy Iran's ability to threaten the U.S., to dismantle its defense industrial base, Iran indeed no longer poses a threat.

• 9:20 In the coming weeks, there will be stronger strikes against Iran.

• 9:21 The U.S. has many options to strike Iran's oil, including seizing key energy facilities.

• 9:21 Thank you to our allies in the Middle East; the U.S. will not let you be harmed.

Finished!
