The media here, not all of it, but much of it, wants you to think that just 19 days into this conflict, we’re somehow heading toward an endless abyss, a forever war, or a quagmire.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

We’re winning decisively, and on our terms. Iran is a vast country, and just like Hamas and their tunnels, they’ve poured any aid, any economic development, and humanitarian aid into tunnels and rockets. That’s what they did with Hamas.

Iran has funneled decades of state resources not to their people, but into missiles, drones, proxies, and buried facilities.

But we are hunting them down, methodically, ruthlessly, and overwhelmingly, like no other military in the world can.

And the results speak for themselves.

To date, we’ve struck over 7,000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure. That is not incremental — that is overwhelming force applied with precision.

And again today will be the largest strike package yet.

Just like yesterday, as I’ve said from day one, our capabilities continue to build while Iran’s continue to degrade.

We’re hunting and striking — death and destruction from above.

Now, the Iranians will still shoot — we know that.

But they would shoot a lot more if they could. They just can’t.

The last jobs anyone in the world wants right now: senior leader for the IRGC or Basij — temp jobs, all of them.

We've decided to share the ocean with Iran. We've given them the bottom half.

We've damaged or sunk over 120 of their navy ships.

The world, the Middle East, our ungrateful allies in Europe, and even segments of our own press should be saying one thing to Trump: Thank you.

We're flying further to the east now and penetrating deeper into Iranian airspace to hunt and kill one-way attack garrisons — destroying Iran's ability to project power outside of its borders.

The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Straits of Hormuz.

In addition, AH-64 Apaches have joined the fight on the southern flank, and they continue to work on the southern side, and that includes some of our allies who are using Apaches to handle one-way attack drones.

In Iraq, AH-64 Apaches have been striking against Iranian-aligned militia groups to make sure that we suppress any threat in Iraq against U.S. forces or U.S. interests.

They crank the jets about an hour prior to takeoff and then launch into the daylight doing their pre-flight checks, and as the kids say, "Lock in and prepare to go to war."

It will be at the president's choosing, ultimately, where we say, "We've achieved what we need to on behalf of the American people to ensure our security."

So no time set on that, but we're very much on track.

The Gulf States have stepped up incredibly. In fact, Iran’s reckless attempt to strike civilian infrastructure and other targets has brought countries, who might not have been as fully engaged before, squarely into our orbit.

We’re proud to be defending alongside them and standing with them.

You name it, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and others who have been right there with us.

They still retain some capability.

Name the Islamist enemy, whether Sunni or Shia, because this is a Shia regime, but Iran has been willing to harbor both as long as that group is willing to try to kill Americans.

The enemy of their enemy has been their friend in the Islamist world.

So Iran, whether it's Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere around the world, has been targeting Americans.

And what President Trump would not tolerate is a regime of that nature being closer and closer to nuclear capabilities — a capability they have said they would want to use.

It's been across every theater that Iran has been a threat to America, and sometimes we have to remind folks of that.

Thank goodness we have a commander-in-chief who, on behalf of this country, has internalized that and said, "Hey, we're going to do something about it."

$200 billion — that number could move.

It takes money to kill bad guys. We need to be properly funded for what's been done, for what we may have to do in the future.

We're also still dealing with the environment that Joe Biden created, which was depleting those stockholds and not sending them to our own military, but to Ukraine.

Every time we reach back and look at any sort of challenge we have, it goes back to “send it to Ukraine.”

We think these munitions are better spent in our interest.

The United States military controls the fate of Iran.
