PRESS SEC: Six weeks ago, President Trump looked the American people in the eye and told them that he launched this operation to take out the imminent threat posed by Iran. That threat has now been greatly destroyed thanks to the success of Operation Epic Fury.

PRESS SEC: Iran aimed to hold the world hostage to its terrorist ambitions – but their murderous and evil plans have been blown up, along with their military, their nuclear program, and most of their senior leadership. Many of their remaining leaders are paralyzed in fear.

PRESS SEC: The President's maximum pressure and the leverage created by the success of Operation Epic Fury led to the Iranian regime asking for and ultimately agreeing to a ceasefire proposal with the United States.

PRESS SEC: I’ve seen a lot of inaccurate coverage from the media about the negotiations, so let me be clear and set the record STRAIGHT ⬇️

PRESS SEC: President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who relayed his support for the President. Israel remains a key ally and partner to the United States.

PRESS SEC: The Cuban regime is bound to fail. The country is very weak, and the Cuban people are fed up with their government. Talks and discussions continue to happen at the highest level of our government.

🚨 PRESS SEC: Anyone who is here fraudulently is subject to our nation’s immigration laws and will be removed from our country. This continues to be a top priority for the State Department, working in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security.

PRESS SEC: The President took out the imminent threat, and hopes that Iran will be a country of peace and prosperity. We’re moving into this next round of negotiations to hopefully come to an agreement with this new regime that will create long-term stability in the Middle East.

PRESS SEC: It’s quite sad that NATO turned their backs on the American people over the last six weeks when it’s the American people who have been funding their defense. President Trump looks forward to having a very frank and candid conversation with Secretary Rutte.

PRESS SEC: I would strongly advise the media against running with narratives that have no basis in fact. President Trump would NEVER accept an Iranian wish list as a deal. He will only make a deal that serves in the best interests of the American people 🇺🇸

PRESS SEC: Iran’s air forces are functionally and operationally irrelevant at this point. Before Operation Epic Fury, they would fly between 30 to 100 flights per day. Today, that number is zero.

PRESS SEC: At this point, Iran can no longer distribute weapons to its proxies in the region. And most importantly, Iran will NOT be able to acquire nuclear weapons.

PRESS SEC: We crushed Iran’s ability to manufacture weapons used to kill Americans and terrorize the world. In just 38 days, we struck over 13,000 targets across Iran, destroying the vast majority of their ballistic missiles, launcher vehicles, and long range attack drones. 🔥

PRESS SEC: President Trump stated this would be a 4 to 6 week military operation to dismantle the threat posed by the radical Iranian regime. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our war fighters, the U.S. has achieved and exceeded those core military objectives in just 38 days.

"There is only one group of meaningful 'POINTS' that are acceptable to the United States, and we will be discussing them behind closed doors during these Negotiations..." - President Donald J. Trump
