Trump Justifies Syria Military Operation and Criticizes Iran
Success of Syria Military Operation and Criticism of Iran
President Donald Trump highlighted the success of the 2026 operation to eliminate Soleimani in Syria, stating that the dangerous mission was completed without casualties. He criticized Iran for killing between 45,000 and 60,000 civilians in the last 40 days and for its long-standing attempts to develop nuclear weapons. Trump described the previous Obama administration's Iran nuclear deal as a 'horrible deal' and claimed that he prevented Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Middle East Peace and Future Strategy
Trump emphasized the security of Israel and the Middle East, warning that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons would destroy the region. He predicted that if Iran developed nuclear weapons, Israel and the entire Middle East would be 'extinguished.' He also mentioned that the United States is generating substantial revenue through oil business with Venezuela, which he says is helping Venezuela's economic recovery. He firmly stated that preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons is a primary objective for the United States, equating it to preventing war crimes.
'Triumphal Arch' and Vision for Space Exploration
President Trump announced his plan to revive the construction of the Triumphal Arch, a project conceived 100 years ago but never realized due to the Civil War. He stated that it would symbolize the rebuilding of the United States and honor American soldiers. He also encouraged NASA and the Artemis 2 astronauts, expressing strong commitment to American space exploration.
