BREAKING: Trump Makes Official Statement Concerning Iran (Video and Transcript)

Even before he said ‘good morning’ he announced that Iran will never get a nuke while he is president.

President Trump announced that the damage of Iran’s response was minimal and was without any loss of life to either American or Iraqi forces before continuing (What follows is written verbatim):

For far too long — all the way back to 1979, to be exact — nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over.

Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.

Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminate the world’s top terrorist, Quassem Soleimaini. As the head of the Quds force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities. He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fuelled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously murdered thousands of US troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims. Soleimaini directed the recent attacks on US personnel in Iraq, that badly wounded 4 service members, and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the US embassy in Baghdad.

In recent days he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him. Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago.

By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: ‘If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.’

As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior. In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two US drones.

Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion dollars not to mention $1.8 Billion dollars in cash.

Instead of saying ‘Thank You’ to the United States, they chanted ‘Death To America’. In fact, they chanted Death to America the day the agreement was signed. Then Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal and created Hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan and, Iraq.

The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reigns on their own country, even recently killing one 1500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran.

The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions, and end its support for terrorism.

The time has come for the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China to recognize this reality. They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal or ‘JCPOA’. And we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place.

We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country. Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred and war.

The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder and mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.

Today I am going to as NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last 3 years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence.

These historic accomplishments change our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the #1 producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent and we do not NEED Middle East oil.

The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration at the cost of 2.5 Trillion dollars. US Armed Forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal and fast.

Under construction are many hypersonic missiles. The fact that we have this great military and equipment does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic is the best deterrent.

Three months ago, after destroying 100% of ISIS and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of ISIS — Al Baghdadi, who was responsible for so much death including the mass beheadings of Christians, Muslims and all who stood in his way. He was a monster. Al Baghdadi was trying again to rebuild the ISIS caliphate and failed. Tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during my administration.

ISIS is a natural enemy of Iran. The destruction of ISIS is good for Iran, and we should work together for on this and other shared priorities.

Finally, to the people and leaders of Iran. We want you to have a future and a great future — one that you deserve. One of prosperity at home and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it.

I want to thank you and God Bless America.
