"Tonight, every American can look forward to a day when we are finally free from the wickedness of Iranian aggression and the specter of nuclear blackmail. Because of the actions we have taken, we are on the cusp of ending Iran's sinister threat to America and the world." -President Donald Trump

It was remarkably restrained for a Trump speech and relatively brief. (Screengrab image: via CBN News)

Side note: My favorite phrase from the speech was when Trump referred to the "green, green cash" that Barack Obama threw at the Islamic regime during his presidency.

The president remarked that Wednesday was the one-month mark for Operation Epic Fury:

As we speak this evening, it has 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 four weeks, our Armed Forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield—victories like few people have ever seen before. Tonight, Iran's navy is GONE. Their air force is in ruins. Their leaders, most of them—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—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.

He reminded viewers that disabling Iran was one of his earliest campaign promises:

From the very first day I announced my campaign for President in 2015, I have vowed that I would never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. This fanatical regime has been chanting 'Death to America, 'Death to Israel,' for 47 years. Their proxies were behind the murder of 241 Americans in the Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut, the slaughter of hundreds of our servicemembers with roadside bombs, they were involved in the attack on the U.S.S. Cole, and they've carried out countless other heinous acts... For these terrorists to have nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat. The most violent and thuggish regime on earth would be free to carry out their campaigns of terror, coercion, conquest, and mass murder from behind a nuclear shield. I will never let that happen.

The president expressed that his goal was to resolve Iran's issues diplomatically, but Iran wouldn't allow that to happen... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
