President Trump addressed the nation, outlining what he described as a successful military operation, “Operation Epic Fury,” launched four weeks prior. He characterized the operation as a “total and complete victory” against Iran.

Operation Epic Fury: Claims of Success

According to the President, the operation resulted in the elimination of Iran’s leadership, the destruction of their navy, and the alleged obliteration of 168 schoolgirls. He stated this outcome was achieved despite skepticism, asserting, “Nobody thought we could take out that many schoolgirls at once.”

Strait of Hormuz and Iranian Capabilities

President Trump also commented on the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as “crooked” and “totally rigged.” He further claimed that Iran’s infrastructure has been severely damaged, stating they “can’t even wash their hair” due to the operation’s impact.

Troop Deployment and Future Plans

The President announced the initial deployment of 20,000 troops, with the possibility of sending more in the coming weeks. He suggested a potential scenario where the U.S. could withdraw and “be partying at the Hard Rock Tehran” within six months.

Nuclear Program and Nuclear Dust

President Trump asserted that Iran’s nuclear weapon program was “totally annihilated” six months ago, but requires further attention to address “nuclear dust.” He claimed expertise in handling this issue, stating, “Nobody knows more about nuclear dust than me.”

Digressions and Personal Anecdotes

The address included numerous digressions, including recollections of Studio 54 and encounters with celebrities like Mel Gibson, Bianca Jagger, and Steve Garvey. He also referenced a meeting with an individual identified as “Malala” and a conversation with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Negotiations with Iran

President Trump stated that Iran is now negotiating with a “totally new regime” that expresses gratitude for the military action. He indicated that he sought advice from JP Vance on whether to pursue a deal, and suggested gifting Cuba to Marco Rubio.

Concluding his address, President Trump reiterated the “total defeat” of Iran and expressed gratitude to the troops, the United States, and Polymarket.
