President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the nation at 9 PM ET regarding the strikes on Iran.
“He will highlight the United States military’s success in achieving all of its stated goals prior to the operation: destroy Iran’s deadly ballistic missiles and production facilities, annihilate their Navy, ensure their terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region and guarantee that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon,” an official told Fox News.
The White House’s Rapid Response X account provided a long thread of successes in Iran and hammering home the objectives America wants to achieve in Iran.
March 2: “Our objectives are clear. First, we’re destroying Iran’s missile capabilities… and their capacity to produce brand new ones — pretty good ones they make. Second, we’re annihilating their navy… Third, we’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon… And finally, we’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.”
The last post included a video of Secretary of State Marco Rubio from March 31: “We were going to destroy their air force; we have largely done that. We were going to destroy their navy, which we have largely achieved that. We were going to destroy a significant percentage of their missile launches; we are well on our way to achieving that. And we were going to wipe out their defense industrial base… We are on our way to doing that. Those were our four objectives because those were the four things they were going to hide behind to then develop a nuclear weapon.”
