Pete Hegseth said that during his entire tenure, President Trump has said for 10 consecutive years that Iran should not get nuclear weapons, complete stops. Due to President Trump’s adventure and visionary leadership and his commitment to peace, Iran’s atomic ambitions have been destroyed. Many presidents have dreamed of giving a final blow to Iran’s nuclear program, and no one could do so till President Trump.
Hegseth said last night, on the orders of President Trump, the US Central Command accurately attacked Iran’s three nuclear installations, Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan at midnight to destroy or severely reduce Iran’s nuclear program. This was an incredible and tremendous success. The order we received from our commander in Chief were focused, it was powerful, and it was clear that we had destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. It is worth noting that the operation did not target Iranian soldiers or Iranian people.
Pete Hegseth said that the operation planned by President Trump was adventure and luxurious. The world was showing that American resistance had returned. When this President speaks, the world should listen to, and the US Army, we can support it. The world’s most powerful army ever. No other country on Earth could have carried out this operation, not even close … When the President says 60 days that he wants peace and conversation, he means 60 days of peace and conversation. Otherwise, that atomic program, that atomic capacity will not be present. This is not the previous administration. President Trump said that there is no nuclear weapon. They want peace and Iran should take that path….

He said that I also want to recognize my colleagues in Israel. This is a scheme for which preparations had to be made for months and weeks so that we can be prepared on the call of Potus. It required a lot of accuracy. This included incorrect guidelines and highest operating security. Our B2 enters these atomic sites and came out, without knowing the world. In this way, it was historical. An attack that included the longest B2 Spirit Bomber Mission since 2001 and the first operation of MOP, a Massive Ordnance Penetrator. This mission showed the world the level of joint and affiliated integration that reflects the strength of our alliance and our joint forces. The United States does not want war as President Trump said. But I make it clear. When our people, our partners or our interests are threatened, we will work rapidly and decisively. Iran should listen to Potus and know what they mean.
