Trump on Iran:

Today, the United States Military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.

Trump on Iran:

The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapons development and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from producing these highly forbidden nuclear weapons.
