President Trump details Operation Epic Fury, claiming strikes over nine days eliminated Iran's nuclear threat by sinking 51 vessels and reducing missile capability to under 10% while striking 5,000 targets. He asserts the war is complete, citing eight American deaths and a partnership with Venezuela for 100 million barrels of oil, while announcing the "Save America Act" with voter ID and sports bans polling at 86%. Addressing allegations of an Iranian school strike, he denies seeing footage but warns of sleeper cells hindered by a Democrat shutdown, concluding with a hearing on birthright citizenship.

While the officers secured the vehicle and removed this third device, which was transported to Rodman's neck for further testing, this third device tested negative for explosive material.
Once the scene was secure and deemed safe, residents were allowed to return to their homes.
Now, we have been in a heightened state of alert in New York City since the start of hostilities in Iran, and we remain in that posture today.
We will continue to deploy additional counterterrorism resources throughout New York City, including heavy weapons teams, canine units, aviation, and more.
The NYPD is vigilant and determined in our unceasing efforts to ensure the safety of this city and the security of its eight and a half.
After the morning briefing, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and other law enforcement officials announced the arrest of two people and described the improvised explosives they attempted to deploy.
And we'll be heading back to Washington, D.C. right after this.
And I'd like to wish everyone a very good evening.
And over the weekend, the United States military and the Israeli Defense Forces continued Operation Epic Fury very successfully.
Over the past nine days, we've carried out some of the most powerful and complex military strikes and maneuvers the world has ever seen.
Now, you add that up to all of the other things, Midnight Hammer, getting rid of the nuclear threat from Iran, which is a big moment in history, in my opinion, and the great success we've had in Venezuela and all other places.
Every place we've gone, we've had tremendous success.
But while we're doing all of these things, we're achieving major strides toward completing our military objective.
And some people could say they're pretty well complete.
We've wiped every single force in Iran out very completely.
Most of Iran's naval power has been sunk.
It's on the bottom of the sea.
It's almost 50 ships.
I was just notified it's 51 ships.
I didn't know they had that many.
Didn't last very long.
And these are fighting vessels.
They're meant to fight, but they're not meant to fight against us.
We continue to target Iran's drone and missile capabilities.
Their drones are way down.
Their drone manufacturing has been hit starting today.
We know all of the places they manufacture the drones, and they're being hit one after another.
Their missile capability is down to about 10%, maybe less.
We're also hitting where they make missiles and where they deliver missiles.
We have struck over 5,000 targets to date, some of them very major targets, and we have left some of the most important targets for later in case we need to do it.
If we hit them, it is going to take many years for them to be rebuilt, having to do with electricity production and many other things.
So we are not looking to do that if we don't have to.
But they are the kind of things that are very easy to hit, but very devastating if they are hit.
We are waiting to see what happens before we hit them.
We could take them all out in one day, but it is all resulting in a 90 percent decline in various things, but in particular Iranian missile launchers and 83 percent drop in drone launchers, as you know.
The drone launchers are pretty well shot, but we are at over 90 percent decline in the Iranian missile launchers, which is very hard to reproduce and very hard to get.
And usually what we were able to do through great equipment, a lot of smart people, as soon as they sent a missile up from a launcher, we were able to knock out that launcher within a period of five minutes or less, accurately right on the noggin.
So now we have low-cost interceptors effectively combating Iranian drones, and our B-2 bombers recently dropped dozens of 2,000-pound bombs to destroy missile launchers all over Iran and buried deep under Iranian soil in many cases.
The soil was no match.
And we are also annihilating the manufacturing base that the regime uses to build drones and missiles at a rate that nobody thought was possible.
We are knocking them out.
We know where they all are.
We are knocking them out very quickly.
We are ahead of our initial timeline by a lot.
I would say that we probably would not have thought after a month we would be here.
In addition to the fact that we have taken out the leadership twice and maybe three times.
And we, as you know, we want to be involved.
We don't want another President that maybe wouldn't be willing to do what I am willing to do for the good of the world, for the good of our nation, to be stuck with the situation in five years or ten years from now.
So we think they should put a President in or the head of the country in that is going to be able to do something peacefully for a change.
They have been doing this for 47 years, killing people for 47 years.
Whether it is the barracks or even the SS Cole where they were involved, very strongly, they always denied it.
But they were very strongly involved.
And all of the people that died through the roadside bombs died and are right now walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that has been so badly damaged.
The Iranian regime has been attacking Americans and spreading terror for 47 years, and despite these countless opportunities to renounce their nuclear ambitions, which they had just a short while ago, they told Mr. Witkoff, who is standing right over here, they actually said we want to keep building.
Essentially, in a real nutshell, we want to continue to build nuclear weapons.
If we didn't knock out Midnight Hammer, if we didn't knock out their Iranian potential, if we didn't do that with Midnight Hammer, they would have had a nuclear weapon.
They would have used it long before now.
And at a minimum, Israel would have been annihilated.
It was very lucky that we had the courage to do that, that we had the talented pilots and the great equipment.
The B-2 bombers are unbelievable.
We ordered 25 more, by the way.
The newer, better version.
We have the greatest military in the world.
We have the greatest equipment in the world by far.
You see that no matter where we go.
You still need the people, though, to operate it and to use it.
And those are the people that we cherish.
Even after we obliterated their key nuclear sites in operation, Midnight Hammer, they never negotiated in good faith.
They still continued to say we want to build nuclear.
We want enrichment at levels that were unacceptable.
And they even turned down an offer for unlimited free nuclear fuel forever for civilian purposes.
We had people offering them free nuclear fuel.
They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build a nuclear weapon.
So instead, the regime was trying to reconstitute its weapons program at a different site.
They couldn't go back to where they were, the three sites that we obliterated.
But they were starting work at another site, a different site, different kind of a site.
And that was protected by granite.
They wanted it protected.
Granite is pretty good, but they wanted it protected by a lot deeper.
They wanted to go a lot deeper.
And they started the process while rapidly building conventional ballistic missiles.
They were going to do it all at the same time.
It threatened our overseas bases and soon could have reached even our homeland.
The regime's intention was to use this exponentially growing ballistic missile threat to make it virtually impossible to prevent them from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
So as you probably saw, they had a tremendous number of missiles, most of which are now being used or destroyed and very unsuccessfully used because we have been able for the most part to shoot them all down.
What incredible technology.
The Patriots have been unbelievable and other things.
And the laser technology that we have now is incredible.
It's coming out pretty soon.
We're literally lasers.
We'll do the work of at a lot less cost, do the work of what the Patriots are doing or what other things are doing.
The situation was very quickly approaching.
The point of no return, and the United States found it intolerable, in my opinion, based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others were telling me, Marco, so involved.
that I thought that they were going to attack us.
I thought they would, if we didn't do this at the time we did it, I think they had in mind to attack us.
And if you notice, they did something which was very foolish, very stupid, I would say.
They attacked their neighbors.
And their neighbors were largely neutral, or at least weren't going to be involved.
And they got attacked.
And it had the reverse effect.
The neighbors came onto our side and started attacking them and actually quite successfully.
If you look at Saudi Arabia, you look at UAE, Qatar, and others, but they were strong and they were smart.
But they got attacked.
Nobody, when I first heard it, I said, no, somebody made a mistake.
There was no mistake.
UAE had over 1,000 missiles shot at it, knocked them almost all down.
On the very first day I came down the escalator in 2015, I said, quote, I will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, and all I'm doing is keeping my promise.
Think of that.
That was in 2015.
I said it.
It was a threat then and a much bigger threat now, but no longer a threat, not for a long time anyway.
We want to keep it that way.
As we continue Operation Epic Fury, we're also focused on keeping energy and oil flowing to the world.
And I will not allow a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt to stop the globe's oil supply.
And if Iran does anything to do that, they'll get hit at a much, much harder level.
I will take out those targets that were easy and that I mentioned just before.
We'll take them out so quickly they'll never be able to recover, ever.
If they want to play that game, they better not play that game.
In the long run, oil supplies will be dramatically more secure without the threat of Iranian ships, drones, missiles, nuclear menace, or anything.
So the Strait of Hormuz is going to remain safe.
We have a lot of Navy ships there.
We have the best equipment in the world, inspecting for mines.
Again, most of their ships are down at the bottom of the sea.
But we will hit them so hard that it will not be possible for them or anybody else helping them to ever recover that section of the world, if they do anything.
In recent years, the regime and its terror proxies have launched attacks on hundreds of commercial vessels.
We are putting an end to all of this threat once and for all, and the result will be lower oil prices, oil and gas prices for American families.
We have done that.
We have done it.
We have brought it very low.
This was just an excursion into something that had to be done.
We are getting very close to finishing that, too.
In the meantime, during this brief disruption, the United States is offering political risk insurance to any tankers operating in the Gulf, so we are putting up risk insurance.
We will perhaps go alongside of them for protection.
We don't think it will be necessary if it is.
And if they do anything, the price will be incalculable.
It will be so great that they will have wished they never did it, because you have to keep the straits flowing.
With all of that, it affects other countries much more than it does the United States.
It doesn't really affect us.
We have so much oil.
We have tremendous oil and gas, much more than we need.
We have Venezuela now as our new partner, great partner.
They have worked out so wonderful.
We are working with the administration, the president, and it is a massive source of oil, gas, everything.
But we are in a very good position, but very unfair to other parts of the world, like China as an example.
I mean, we are doing this for the other parts of the world, including countries like China.
They get a lot of their oil through the straits.
So we are doing this.
We have a very good relationship with President Qi and China.
I'm going there in a short period of time.
And we are protecting the world from what these lunatics are trying to do.
And very successfully, I might add.
We are also waiving certain oil-related sanctions to reduce prices.
So we have sanctions on some countries.
We are going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out.
Then who knows, maybe we won't have to put them on.
There will be so much peace.
But when the time comes, the U.S. Navy and its partners will escort tankers through the strait if needed.
I hope it's not going to be needed, but if it's needed, we'll escort them right through.
And we have the greatest mind-sweeping ability.
We have the greatest ships and all of that.
We know exactly where they are placed.
We'll get them out of there very fast.
But we hope we don't have any of that.
And again, if they do that, if they play that game, we are going to hit them at a level that they have not seen before.
So we are winning very decisively.
We are way ahead of schedule.
Our military is the greatest in the world with the greatest equipment.
They are the greatest people in the world.
Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
Iran is a very powerful country.
They were going to take over the Middle East.
If we did not hit them, they were going to take over the Middle East.
They had thousands and thousands since their last hit.
They had thousands and thousands of missiles and everything else.
Most are now destroyed.
But they were going to take over the Middle East.
Those weapons were aimed at Middle Eastern countries that had nothing to do with this.
They were going to take over the Middle East and they were going to try and destroy Israel.
So we stopped it with good timing.
And we are very proud to be involved in this, and it's going to be ended soon.
And if it starts up again, they'll be hit even harder.
Thank you very much for being here.
Go ahead.
Stopping a Middle East Takeover00:07:21
Any questions?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Do you approve of Iran's new supreme leader?
And secondly, can you tell us more about your call with Russian President Vladimir Putin today?
What did you discuss?
Yes, I had a very good call with President Putin.
We had a lot of people on the line from our side, from his side.
We were talking about Ukraine, which is just a never-ending fight.
And when, look, there's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky.
They can't seem to get it together.
But I think it was a positive call on that subject.
We obviously talked then about the Middle East.
And he wants to be helpful.
I said you could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with.
That would be more helpful.
But we had a very good talk, and he wants to be very constructive.
Yeah, please.
Yeah, please.
Thank you, Mr. President.
On Iran, you called it an excursion.
You said it would be over soon.
Are you thinking this week it will be over?
Do you talk about days?
I think so.
And with respect- Very soon.
Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership.
In fact, there are two levels of leadership, and even actually, as it turns out, more than that, but two levels of leadership are gone.
Most people have never even heard about the leaders that they're talking about.
So it's obviously been very, very powerful, very effective.
What would the United States get in return for that?
And why should Americans trust Marco Rubio to negotiate it?
Well, Marco Rubio is doing a great job.
I think he's going to go down as the greatest Secretary of State in history.
Look at what we've done as a presidency.
Look at what we've done as an administration.
They trust Marco, and so do the American people trust.
He's been successful no matter where he's been.
He also speaks the language, which is always nice and always helpful.
But he's dealing, and it may be a friendly takeover.
It may not be a friendly takeover.
It wouldn't matter because they're down to, As they say, fumes.
They have no energy.
They have no money.
They are in deep trouble on a humanitarian basis.
And we don't want to see that.
But they were very, very bad to a lot of people, as you know.
And a lot of people living are the Cuban-American vote, which I got at record levels, very important.
Those people are very important to me.
I know what they went through.
They went through hell.
Some of them have gone on to be some of the most successful people in the country.
Cuban-American business people, some of them are like the most successful in the country.
And a lot of them are friends of mine because I've been fighting this battle with them for a long time.
The Castro regime was brutal, but they lived off Venezuela.
Now they don't live off Venezuela.
It sends them no energy, no fuel, no oil, no money, no nothing.
They lived without Venezuela, they couldn't have made it.
And we cut them off from everything else.
So, yeah, they're going to make either a deal or we'll do it just as easy anyway.
Please.
There's footage that show that an American missile strike and a tomahawk missile likely destroyed that Iranian girls' school.
So will the Americans, will the U.S. accept any responsibility for the United States?
Well, I haven't seen it.
And I will say that the tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is sold and used by other countries, you know that.
And whether it's Iran, who also has some tomahawks, they wish they had more, but whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a tomahawk, a tomahawk, is very generic.
It's sold to other countries.
But that's being investigated right now.
Yeah, please.
Thank you.
Mr. President, you've said the war is, quote, very complete, but your Defense Secretary says this is just the beginning.
So which is it?
And how long should Americans be?
Well, I think you could say it both.
The beginning.
It's the beginning.
It's the beginning of building a new country.
But they certainly, they have no Navy.
They have no Air Force.
They have no anti-aircraft equipment.
It's all been blown up.
They have no radar.
They have no telecommunications.
And they have no leadership.
It's all gone.
So, you know, you could look at that statement.
We could call it a tremendous success right now as we leave here.
I could call it, or we could go further, and we're going to go further.
But the big risk on that war has been over for three days.
We wiped them out in the first two days.
When you think about it, it's incredible.
We wiped out a big Navy, very powerful Navy.
You know, these were ships, these were serious ships.
These were ships that you buy when you want to win battles.
They're all on the bottom floor.
The sailors are all running off their ships.
They refuse to get on the ships.
The Air Force is gone.
Everything is gone.
The missiles are down to a trickle.
The drones are down to probably 25 percent, and they will soon be down to nothing.
Where they manufacture the drones are under fire.
As we speak, they are being hit.
So the rest is going to be a determination as to my attitude, along with the people in the Trump administration, what we want to do.
Thank you.
Yeah, please.
Can I ask you to waive certain additional oil waivers or sanctions?
Can you talk a little bit more about that and address in particular?
Well, we are looking to keep the oil prices down.
We went artificially up because of this excursion into a very positive thing.
I mean, this was an excursion that a lot of people wouldn't have done.
I knew oil prices would go up if I did this, and they have gone up probably less than I thought they would go up.
But I don't think anybody thought we were going to be this quickly successful.
This was a military success the likes of which people haven't seen.
We have the best military.
We have the best equipment.
We have, I believe, the best generals.
We have the best.
And this went very quickly.
We talked about that with President Putin.
He was very impressed with what he saw because nobody has ever seen anything quite like it.
You know, Iran was a very powerful military country with all of the missiles.
Now, you had the double attack.
You had the original attack with us in Israel, and that knocked them for a loop.
Then you had the B-2 bombers, which took out their nuclear capability, and they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to four weeks.
And they would have used it long before this press conference.
And we might have had a much different press conference if we had a press conference at all.
But it has been amazing.
The military success that we have had is truly unprecedented.
Stopping Iran's Nuclear Threat00:12:31
You said you have told your congressional colleagues that you won't need a piece of legislation until the Save America Act is passed.
Does that include the confirmation of Senator Mullen as your next DHS Secretary?
Does that mean a DHS funding bill?
And Senator Thune said today it is not a matter of whether or not your Republican colleagues agree with the policy.
It is about changing the process.
In other words, getting rid of the filibuster to get the right to the right.
So in order to get it, you are going to need Democrat votes.
And what we are saying is the Save America, not the Save Act, which nobody knew what it was, the Save America Act.
The Save America Act.
And that is voter ID.
We want voter ID.
We want to be able to see a picture of the voter.
We want to be able to see that the voter is legitimate.
We want, very importantly, confirmation that this voter is a citizen of the United States of America, and we want no mail-in ballot scams.
So we have exceptions for the military, for sick, for disabled, and for people that are away, business trips or whatever.
Even vacations will be very liberal in that.
We've added two things to it, no men and women sports and no transgender mutilization of our children.
We don't want our the it's mutilization of our children, and we don't want that.
So we added those two things.
That's the five points.
We have five very good points.
It polls at 86 percent with Democrats.
Think of that.
The overall vote is 86 percent.
With Republicans, it's 98 percent.
And the only one opposed to it is Democrat leadership because they cheat.
They want to cheat.
So we added those two points.
We are going for the gold, and we are going to have to fight like hell.
Now, certain things will happen.
Certain things will take place.
I am here to do a great job for the country.
But we don't have a country if we are going to have elections that are so corrupt and so dishonest like we have witnessed over the last period of time.
You know, as an example, few, I mean, virtually, nobody has like we, nobody has a system of mail-in ballots like we have.
No other country in the world.
France went away from it.
They all went, you know why?
Because it's corrupt.
And Jimmy Carter, when he had a commission, frankly, I think it's probably the best thing Jimmy Carter did.
He said, you can't have mail-in voting because it's inherently dishonest.
And it's turned out to be totally dishonest.
So we're going to fight for it.
Activated any sleeper cells inside the U.S. There's reports that they have pressed that trigger button to activate those cells at least abroad.
Well, they've been trying for a long time.
We've been very much on top of it.
One of the things we have to do is get the Democrats to stop the Democrat shutdown because, as you know, the apparatus that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut it down, which tells you they probably hate our country a lot, but the Democrats have to open that up.
But we've got very, very good intelligence into that.
We know a lot of different things that have happened that have been very bad.
A lot of them came in during the Biden open border period, but we have them under we've got them, we're watching every single one of them.
Yeah, we know a lot about them.
The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown.
We know a lot about them, but the shutdown doesn't allow us to do what we have to do.
Do you have to take him out?
Does he have a target on his back?
You mean the new Supreme Leader?
You mean the son.
How can there be an Iranian government?
Well, I don't want to say that, but I was disappointed because we think it's going to lead to just more of the same problem for the country.
So I was disappointed to see their choice.
You've said you have someone in mind to be the new Iranian leadership, if not the Ayatollah son.
What are you looking for in that person?
Are you looking at someone internal given that you just said that their leadership has been dominated by the government?
I like the idea of internal and eternal, come to think of it.
But I like the idea of internal because it works well.
I mean, I think we have proven that so far in Venezuela, we have a woman, Del C, who has been president of the country, very respected, very doing a great job.
And it is no disruption.
We had, as you remember, Iraq, where everybody got fired.
The military got fired.
The police got fired.
The politicians got fired.
There was nobody.
And you know what?
They turned into ISIS.
We don't want that.
We don't want that.
So I would like to see people that are inside go.
Now they talk about the son of the Shah.
They talk about other people.
But, you know, hasn't been there in many, many years.
We have a formula that has been very good so far, and I think it will continue to be good.
The relationship is extraordinary with Venezuela, smart country.
We have taken out 100 million barrels of oil.
It is right now in Houston being taken care of and made so beautiful.
You have to see this at work.
It is brought to the refineries.
It is being refined in Houston, which is made exactly for that product.
And so far.
But it is 100 million barrels of oil, and now they have another 100 million barrels coming.
And it is like a partnership.
We are getting along so well with them.
It is great for Venezuela, and it is great for the United States.
Please go ahead.
You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war.
But you are the only person in your government saying this.
Even your Defense Secretary wouldn't say that when he was asked, standing over your shoulder on your plane on Saturday.
Why are you the only person saying this?
Because I just don't know enough about it.
I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.
But tomahawks are used by others, as you know.
Numerous other nations have tomahawks.
They buy them from us.
But I will certainly, whatever the report shows, I am willing to live with that report.
Yeah, please.
You said earlier that we've already won in many ways, but we haven't won enough.
What do you consider enough?
What's your baseline?
Where they're not going to be starting the following day to develop a nuclear weapon, where they'll look at that man and some other people from the administration and say, all right, we're not going to do it.
They were not willing to say that.
And when Steve called up and he said that to me, I said, well, here we go.
Let's do it the hard way.
But the hard way, I think, is probably the easy way.
When basically I can see that they will no longer have any capacity whatsoever for a very long period of time of developing weaponry that could be used against the United States, Israel, or any of our allies.
We have great allies in the Middle East, great countries that are allies.
And they were staying out of it until they got hit.
Someday they'll have to do a story.
Why did he do that?
Why did they do that?
But they were going to hit them.
If I didn't hit them first, they were going to hit our allies first.
I believe upon information and belief, but I believe that he was going to take over the Middle East.
They were looking to take over the Middle East.
Now, had Operation Midnight Hammer not taken place, that was definite, because they would have had a nuclear weapon within a matter of weeks.
But that took place.
That was a setback.
But look at the number of missiles they were able to buy and make over the last six months.
And those missiles were aimed at various countries.
And when you look at a thousand over a thousand missiles shot at like UAE, they were looking to take over the Middle East.
We got there first.
Lucky.
I'll tell you what, the Middle East and those countries, very rich countries, are very lucky that I was president instead of somebody else.
Mr. President, are there any points of disagreement between yourself and your vice president when it comes to U.S. action in Iran?
I don't think so.
No.
No.
We get along very well on this.
He was, I would say, philosophically a little bit different than me.
I think he was maybe less enthusiastic about going, but he was quite enthusiastic.
But I felt it was something we had to do.
I didn't feel we had a choice.
If we didn't do it, they would have done it to us.
I felt based on the negotiations that were being had by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Marco and Pete and everybody was involved.
I felt that they were looking to tap us along before they hit, and I thought they were going to hit.
And if they hit us first, that would have been a very bad thing.
In the back, please?
In the back?
Sir, said you're considering seeking a straight home.
Is there a time like that?
The straight, you mean?
Yeah, well, I want to keep it open.
I want to keep it good.
You know, it doesn't pertain to us so much as it does to China.
We're really helping China here and other countries because they get a lot of their energy from the straits.
But, hey, look, we have a good relationship with China.
It's my honor to do it.
Yeah, you have called him an unacceptable choice.
So does he have a target on his back?
And how can I don't want to say whether or not he does, because that would be inappropriate.
But, hey, look, I had a target on my back because, as you people wrote pretty well, they caught the assassin that was after me.
So we just got them first.
But they caught the assassin.
They have him now in custody that was after me.
So, you know, but people don't like to mention that, but they did catch him.
And I'd like to congratulate our military, Secret Service, FBI, all of the people that worked on that, but they did.
Yeah, please.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead, please.
Thank you, Mr. President.
You promised the Iranian people you would help them, but it sounds like you're willing to end this fight after your military objectives have wrapped up.
Isn't that a betrayal of the United States?
Will I help them?
I'd like to, if they can behave.
But they've been very menacing.
You know, they're great people.
They have an amazing population.
It's amazing, smart, brilliant, energetic.
They have a great population.
I'd love to help them, but they have to be in a system that allows them to be helped.
And right now, they're in a system that only allows failure.
And I don't want that.
And I want a system that's not going to be attacking us.
We want a system that can lead to many years of peace.
And if we can't have that, we might as well get it over with right now.
Yeah, please.
Thank you, Mr. President.
