It was a victory speech from the U.S. President who was justifying why this military action was needed,
but also listing the objectives that he feels he has achieved over the course of the last five weeks.
He spoke about the fact that the Navy, in his words,
is gone, that the Iranian air force is in ruins and that most of the Iranian leadership is now dead.
He also spoke about the fact that he does not believe Iran will ever be able to obtain a nuclear weapon and also
talked about the extent of the losses.
