Thank you very much and good afternoon. As president , my highest and most solemn duty is the defense of our nation and citizens. Last night at my direction, the military executed perfectly flawless strike that killed the number one terrorist qasseme in the world, soleimani. Ni was plotting imminent attacks on american diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him. Under my leadership, americas policy is unambiguous to terrorists who harbor intent to harm any american. We will find you. We will eliminate you. Ourill always protect diplomats, servicemembers, and allies. For years, the Iran Revolutionary guard corps and its ruthless codes force under its ruthless quds has murdered civilians and service members. Targets included rocket strikes that killed an american and injured for American Service members very badly as well as a violent assault on our embassy in at the were carried out direction of soleimani. Soleimani made the death of innocent people his sick passion. Today, we remember and honor the victims of his many atrocities and take comfort in knowing that his reign of terror is over. Has been perpetrating acts of terror to destabilize the middle east for the last 20 years. What the United States did yesterday should have been done long ago. A lot of lives would have been saved. Led theently, soleimani brutal repression of protesters in iran were more than one thousand innocent civilians were tortured and killed by their own government. We took action last night to stop a war. We did not take action to start a war. I have deep respect for the iranian people. They are a remarkable people with an incredible heritage and unlimited potential. We do not seek regime change, but the iranian regimes aggression in the region including the use of proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors must end, and it must end now. The future belongs to the people , those who seek peaceful coexistence and cooperation, not the terrorist warlords who plunder their nation to finance bloodshed abroad. Bestnited states has the military by far anywhere in the world. We have the best intelligence anywhere in the world. If americans anywhere are threatened, we have all of those targets already fully identified, and i am ready and prepared to take whatever action is necessary, and that in particular refers to rn two iran. Recently, American SpecialOperations Forces killed the terrorist leader known as albaghdadi. The world is a safer place without these monsters. America will always pursue the interests of good people, great people, great souls while seeking peace, harmony, and friendship with all of the nations of the world. Thank you. God bless you.
