Donald Trump

That often happens in war.

But we're doing this not for now.

We're doing this for the future.

And it is a noble mission.

To the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.

Stay sheltered.

Don't leave your home.

It's very dangerous outside.

Bombs will be dropping everywhere.

For many years, you have asked for America's help, but you never got it.

No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.

Now you have a president who is giving you what you want.

So let's see how you respond.

America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.

Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.

This is the moment for action.

Do not let it pass.

The United States military began major combat operations in Iran.

Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.

Unfortunately, we have a president that doesn't know the first thing about negotiation.
