We're going to make sure Iran complies with this ceasefire and then ultimately...

comes to the table and makes a deal.

So we'll stay put, stay ready, stay vigilant.

Iran begged for this ceasefire and we all know it.

As the president truth this morning, a big day for world peace.

Iran wants it to happen.

They've had enough.

Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.

A capital V military victory.

What's clear, what the Iranian, the new Iranian regime knows is they'll never have a nuclear weapon or the capability to get a path to one.

Great news this evening that there's been a two-week ceasefire agreed upon tentatively between us and the Iranians.

It's unconfirmed yet if the Iranians have accepted this deal as well, but I hope that they have.

It's absolutely essential that we ensure that the Israelis do not sabotage this two-week ceasefire or eventually the lasting peace that we're trying to achieve with the Iranians.

We're on the cusp of being able to have the Strait of Hormuz reopened

to hopefully start to get the world energy supply and commerce back online.

The last thing we need is the Israelis doing what they have done in past negotiations and targeting the negotiators.

We're taking a series of strikes that escalates the conflict.

In order to ensure that we can restrain the Israelis, we actually have to start removing

features of the military support that we give to them.
