“He came in with four goals. He has now achieved three of them, and the fourth is on the way. Iran had three methods of resistance. President Trump has basically eliminated two of them, and the third is on the way. One, destroying the vast majority of Iran's forward military capacity. Two, wiping out their defense industrial base. Three, keeping their economy in a stranglehold, depriving them of the means to rebuild. Obviously done.”

“All of those members of the axis of resistance were supposed to be Iran's forward army. That was their forward capacity. And since 10/07/2023, Israel has steadily degraded and or destroyed those terrorists. Hamas, for example, no forward capacity at this point. Hezbollah has been so greatly reduced as a power in the region that now they're in danger of complete evisceration. The Houthis could have gone active at any time during this war and they didn't for a reason.”

“As of this morning, the president of The United States put out a statement, quote, 'the Strait Of Hormuz is completely open and ready for business and full passage, but the naval blockade will remain in full force and effect as it pertains to Iran only until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.' So it's open now. Remember that time when they said that we would never be able to open the strait?”

“We have defenestrated their forward military capacity. Their missile base, basically gone. Their air force, their navy, gone. The United States and Israel have wiped out their steel foundries. They have hit all of their missile factories. They have hit their missile launchers. It is not clear how you get stronger by being alienated from every single country in the region, from Jews to Muslims, or how somehow you're getting stronger if all your leaders are dead.”

“How you're stronger when your economy is totally nonexistent, when in a few weeks, you're not gonna have money to pay your IRGC thugs. The Iranian economy is defunct. Nothing has been getting in. If they'd given up their nuclear program years ago, they would have had normalized relations with a lot of different countries. The sanctions would not be on them.”

“Less than six weeks ago, more than 50,000 of America's sons and daughters in uniform launched Operation Epic Fury and embarked on a mission of profound consequence. We set out to dismantle the Iranian regime's ability to project power beyond its own borders, and we clearly accomplished this task. Iran has suffered a generational military defeat.”

“Based on conversations with prime minister Shabaz Sharif and field marshal Asin Munir of Pakistan, they requested that I hold off the destruction force being sent tonight to Iran. I agreed to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided ceasefire because we have already met and exceeded our military objectives.”

“I hereby declare on behalf of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, if attacks against Iran are halted, our powerful armed forces will cease their defensive operations. For a period of two weeks, safe passage through the Strait Of Hormuz will be possible via coordination with Iran's armed forces and with the consideration of technical limitations.”

“They aren't just wrong, they're undermining what it would mean for America to actually be great again. America has to be strong; that's been President Trump's message the entire time he's been running for office, and it will be strong. It is about people who are actively rooting for America to lose and openly say so.”

“CENTCOM forces destroyed approximately 80% of Iran's air defense systems, striking more than 1,500 air defense targets, more than 450 ballistic missile storage facilities, and 800 one-way attack drone storage facilities. All of these systems are gone. We've devastated Iran's command and control and logistical networks, destroying more than 2,000 command and control nodes.”
