President Trump delivered a speech at the UN Assembly detailing his aggressive strategy toward Iran. He highlighted the destruction of Iran's nuclear and military capabilities through operations like \"Midnight Hammer\" and \"Epic Fury,\" while demanding total economic isolation of the regime until it ceases its support for terror and nuclear ambitions.
James Kaufman, World News Report today.
Ladies and gentlemen, watch President Trump tell
the Iranian president what could be in his near-term future.
I mean near-term by a day or two.
This is epic.
Trump's speech at the UN Assembly this afternoon.
Epic.
Let's listen.
Great leaders, many great leaders.
I know all of you very well, but they know that given only a short time
to make this world better, safer, and more prosperous for our children,
for the people on Earth, we have to take advantage of it.
As president of the most extraordinary nation in history,
I have no interest in leaving dangers to grow for another day.
I do not believe in letting problems fester.
They only become harder to solve.
So while others have talked, I have acted.
While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace.
While others have ignored threats, I have confronted them.
While others have talked of
courage, America has shown it.
While others have promised strength, I have used it to make America
the most powerful country in the world.
Working with many nations in this room, we are solving
decades of intractable challenges
and we are settling years of unfinished business and we're
doing it well. There is no better example
of a danger that was allowed to gather strength at
the world's peril than the number one sponsor of terror,
the Islamic Republic of Iran. For 51 years
the fanatical Iranian regime has ruled by bloodshed and mass murder,
spreading death and carnage and
chaos across the entire Middle East and beyond.
They were the bully of the Middle East, but they
are the bully no more. From the first day I entered
the political arena, I've been unwavering. I will
never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon.
Upon taking office last year, I immediately opened
negotiations with Iran
and offered them full economic cooperation in exchange for ending
their nuclear program and support for terror, but they refused.
They absolutely refused.
That was a big mistake.
Then, in Operation Midnight Hammer, the U.S. military obliterated
their nuclear program beneath mountains of rubble.
And again, I urged Iran to make a deal,
and again, they refused.
The regime continued building a vast missile and drone stockpile
that threatened the security
of every American service member in the region
and everyone else in the region.
They also made a missile that was capable of hitting Europe,
and they were very proud of it.
I hope the Europeans realize that. Iran's goal was to
complete their mad dash to a nuclear bomb from behind
this conventional ballistic missile shield.
If they had succeeded, that wicked regime would have
been free to spread terror and death forever,
knowing that any attempt to stop them would face
an arsenal of nuclear annihilation. In America we
just marked the 25th anniversary
of the worst terror attack in history September 11th which
killed 3,000 people just a few miles from here.
It's an unbelievably terrible time. In two weeks
we will mark the third anniversary of the October 7th attack
in Israel where terrorists funded by
Iran tortured, mutilated, and killed 1,200 very innocent civilians,
including dozens of Americans
and many babies. Babies. Little, tiny, beautiful babies.
Iran's Supreme Leader celebrated that
massacre and called it a service to humanity.
The same regime slaughtered over 72,000 of its
citizens this year. Recently, 10,000 were killed for protesting.
Just imagine such a
vile regime were ever empowered
to carry out large-scale terror attacks from behind a nuclear
shield. This was the reality we had to confront,
a reality that far too many preferred to ignore.
They all ignored it. Many presidents
and many others just wanted to ignore it. They were
unwilling to do anything about it, but they knew the problem.
After giving Iran every chance for a
deal, I took action to ensure that neither
the United States nor any nation in this hall would
ever have to face such a nightmare, such a catastrophic problem.
As a result of Operation
Epic Fury, all 159 ships of their Navy are now lying
at the bottom of the sea. Likewise, their
Air Force is gone. Their radar is gone.
Their anti-aircraft equipment is gone. Their missiles
and drone manufacturing capacity is almost gone.
Their economy is gone. The only thing that isn't
gone is inflation,
which is destroying their country and is now well over 300 percent.
And ours.
Yet even after we agreed to a ceasefire for nuclear discussion,
promptly violated it with
brazen acts of terrorism against civilian ships from other countries.
I want to thank the UN
Security Council for voting overwhelmingly
to pass a resolution condemning Iran's despicable
terrorist attacks on commercial shipping.
Thank you very much. That resolution, I'm pleased to
say, received more co-sponsors
from UN member nations than any Security Council resolution
in history. That's something.
Now we must be equally united in maintaining pressure.
The United States Navy has recently escorted
more than one billion barrels of oil out of
the Strait of Hormuz,
and more oil is flowing than at any point since the start of the war.
We're taking 22, 25, 30, 32, and 37 ships out,
respectively, every single day, every single
night but i have a big decision to make will
a deal be made with Iran that lets them rebuild
bomb the piss out of them was before maybe one
of the greatest in the Middle East or even the world
or do i annihilate the Islamic Republic trump
is a fool to trust anything someone from the
Middle East tells him. And that just tells me everything.
Obviously, he's never done a business
deal over there. I've done 20 or 30.
And do it quickly, never giving them a chance to kill and
destroy people and countries again.
Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no
hope of future greatness or generations?
But I believe we'll make a deal right after the election
because it doesn't make sense for them not to.
They're waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.
What they don't realize is that I'm not running.
I did that already and won in a landslide.
We won in a giant landslide.
And I'll be here for two and a half years.
The Republican Party is running and I'll be helping them.
But I am not running.
I gave absolutely no credence
and will not give credence to the election
when it comes to Iran. It doesn't even enter my mind.
The only thing that does
is that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
The cowards and traitors. Thank you. Thank you.
The cowards and traitors would love to say
the United States is low on munitions,
but that's not true.
We have more munitions than we could ever possibly even think of using.
no that was just Rubio and we're building them
at levels that we have never been to our stockpiles
faster than we have ever been able to do before top
of the line stuff in addition in the very
near future massive munition plants will
be opening there are 18 of them being built by the
greatest defense companies
in the world right now 18 under construction some of them very quickly
will be completed. They're almost there.
And that rapid construction will be leading to very rapid
deployment of missiles of every type and ammunition of every type,
and we'll be able to supply
our allies at a much faster rate than we're doing right now.
I call on all nations to join us in
enforcing the complete economic isolation
of Iran until they stop their attacks on commercial
shipping, relinquish their nuclear ambitions,
and cease their support of terror.
The terrorist regime is behaving badly,
not because they are strong and confident, but
because they are weak and desperate.
If we stand united,
we will soon see a world free of the last 51-year menace of Iranian
terror and oil prices will come plummeting down even lower than they
were at the start of the
conflict. And they were very low in the United States.
They were really low. With courage and
resolve, anything is possible. God bless America.
The Iranian president sitting up there alone
and, well, Trump telling everyone how it's going to be,
period, period.
God bless our President Trump.
He really puts himself out there.
He's got hits on his wife, his son, his cousin's daughter.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
God bless you and yours.
Please give us a thumbs up and share.
This is the whole speech.
I wanted to condense it.
for our subscribers and make sure
y'all understood that he was well has already
drawn the red line in the sand thank you again
