President Trump stated, "It has been just one month since the United States military began Operation Epic Fury targeting the world's number one state sponsor of terror, Iran. In these past four weeks, our Armed Forces have delivered swift, decisive, overwhelming victories on the battlefield."

The president continued, "My first preference was always the path of diplomacy -- yet, the regime continued their relentless quest for nuclear weapons and rejected every attempt at an agreement. ... I have made clear from the beginning of Operation Epic Fury that we will continue until our objectives are fully achieved." He added that the U.S. is on track to complete all its military objectives "very shortly."
