Here is the president just saying that his first preference in all of this was always diplomacy.

This is what he wanted to do.

He's like, I just I wanted diplomacy here.

And but we didn't we weren't able to do that.

So we we just decided to blow him up.

What's up?

right so there's the president of the united states explaining some of where we were uh in this conflict and and that's i think one of the most important recitations of the facts yet and marco rubio said something similar in the last uh 48 hours where he said that look these guys in their pursuit of a nuclear weapon what they decided to do they shifted strategy they decided that they were going to build a massive conventional force of missiles they wanted to blanket uh that entire region

with missiles in such a way that nobody could really get in there without a massive, massive war breaking out.

So the buildup of conventional arms

had become really immense.

And as Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, again, now 48 hours ago, that basically if we allowed this to continue by this time next year, this would be an utter nightmare to try to resolve.

So the window was closing.

So that's why they decided to go after this.

It's not merely the stage of where the nuclear program is.

It was the stage of where the conventional armaments were as a means to build up the nuclear program that we had destroyed again.

And so this is where the Trump administration acted very swiftly to try and stop all of this.

Now, he said the strategy was obvious.

We learned that they had missiles that nobody thought that they had, and they certainly did.

Remember, they tried to fire a couple at a US military base in the Indian Ocean.

They were firing just very, very far away, far beyond what the Iranians claimed they even could do.
