Does it have to do with the war in Iran?
voice-verified
No, this is rebuilding our military from what was not funded in the past under the Biden administration.

voice-verified
That's what terror regimes would do.
voice-verified
So I acknowledge they still have capabilities, no doubt.
voice-verified
But the amount of damage that we've done to them over the course of these series of operations has put them in the worst place they've ever been.
voice-verified
President Trump's following a simple logic.
The military requires a generational investment to deliver on peace through strength.
