Detailed view for this entity.
“As for the future of Iran, as the president has pointed to, of course, it's in the best interest of the United States of America for Iran to no longer be led by a radical terrorist regime.”
“that chants death to America and is lying to the United States and the world about their secret ambitions to possess a nuclear bomb.”
“President Trump does not want to see that. He wants to take an interest in in in pursuing who the next leader of the Iranian uh country is going to be.”
“Number two, annihilate the Iranian regime's navy. And so far, we have destroyed more than 20 Iranian ships... American forces have struck more than 2,000 targets, destroying hundreds and hundreds of ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones.”
“President Trump intends to attend the dignified transfer of these American heroes to stand in grief alongside their families. The Trump administration will not rest until every American is home safely and until the terrorist threat from Iran has been completely destroyed.”
“Again, this is a rogue terrorist regime that has been threatening the United States, our allies, and our people for 47 years. And the American people are smart enough to know that.”
“The stated military objectives of Operation Epic Fury are as follows. Eliminate Iran's ballistic missile threat, destroy their naval capability, disrupt missile and drone production infrastructure, sever their pathway, and end their pathway to nuclear weapons. And I can report, as you all saw from the Pentagon today, that thus far this operation has been remarkably successful.”
“With respect to munitions, ammunition, weapon stockpiles, the United States of America has more than enough capability to not only successfully execute Operation Epic Fury, but to go much further. And we have weapon stockpiles in places that many people in this world don't even know about.”
“Well, they're not part of the the plan for this operation at this time. But I certainly will never take away military options on behalf of the president of the United States.”
“I would just tell you very strongly, the United States of America does not target civilians, unlike the rogue Iranian regime that targets civilians. So, I would caution you uh from pointing the finger at the United States of America when it comes to targeting civilians because that's not something that these armed forces do.”
“SAVE Act is absolutely still a priority for this president and the administration. And he's very much continuing to focus on the issues that matter here at home for the American people, including the passage of the Save Act.”
“But as for any report suggesting that the president has agreed to any such plan is completely false and should not be written.”
“The president's national security adviser said that the threat was retaliation against American interests from Iran after Israeli strikes. The president says it's his own feeling that Iran was going to attack. This decision to launch this operation was based on a cumulative effect of various direct threats that Iran posed to the United States.”
“Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called Kent's claims insulting and laughable.”
“White House press secretary, she says the vast majority of Americans support ending the threat posed by the Iranian regime and support killing terrorists.”
