We're going to destroy their Air Force.

And we are going to significantly destroy their missile launchers so they can never hide behind these things to get a nuclear weapon.

We are achieving all those objectives.

We are ahead of schedule on most of them.

And we can achieve them without any ground troops, without any.

We can achieve all of our objectives with our ground troops, but we are always going to be prepared to give the president maximum optionality and maximum opportunity to adjust to contingencies should they emerge.

And that is what he is doing.

From the very first night of this operation, the president made it very clear.

People like this, and what I'm talking about is not the people of Iran.

The people that run this country are radical Shia clerics.

These are religious fanatics.

Look what they are doing now.

At their weakest point, this is the weakest Iran has ever been.

And look at what they're doing.

They're attacking embassies.

They're attacking hotels.

They imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon.

That is an unacceptable risk for the world.

By the way, the president's not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people.

This is for the world.
