00:00I want to start by wishing a double happy birthday.

00:03First, happy birthday to you, President Donald J. Trump.

00:07You've been an extraordinary leader, decisive, courageous, clear vision, clear action.

00:14You have done great things for Israel.

00:16You've been an extraordinary friend to the Jewish state and to me personally.

00:20We've known each other for many years, and we appreciate what you're doing now,

00:25helping protect Israeli lives against the criminal regime in Iran.

00:30I want to wish also a 250th happy birthday to the American army.

00:36The men and women of the armed services of the United States have protected freedom for two and a half centuries.

00:43We would not have a free world without you.

00:46Thank you on behalf of free peoples everywhere.

00:49Today, Israel is defending freedom in the Middle East and beyond.

00:53We're doing so against a tyrannical and radical Iranian regime

00:58that wants to build atomic bombs to destroy us

01:01and wants to build ballistic missiles, including intercontinental ballistic missile,

01:05to be able to threaten anyone and everywhere in the world.

01:09By defending ourselves, we're also defending others.

01:14We're defending our Arab neighbors, our Arab friends in peace.

01:17We're defending Europe.

01:19We're helping defend also the United States, which helps us all the time in our defense.

01:26This is an important mission.

01:28Right now, the Iranian regime is bombing our civilian neighborhoods

01:32while we are targeting the terrorists.

01:35Now, this is not new.

01:36They've tried to assassinate President Trump twice.

01:39They bombed American embassies.

01:43They killed 241 Marines in Beirut.

01:46They killed and injured thousands of Americans with their IEDs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

01:52They burned the American flag.

01:54They chant endlessly, death to America.

01:57Our enemy is your enemy.

01:59And by doing what we're doing, we're dealing with something that will threaten all of us sooner or later.

02:05Our victory will be your victory.

02:08How do we intend to achieve that victory?

02:10Well, we've already done great things.

02:12We've taken out their senior military leadership.

02:15We've taken out their senior technologists who are leading the race to build atomic weapons

02:20that would threaten us, but not only us.

02:23We've done all that and many other things.

02:25But we are also aware of the fact that there's more to be done.

02:29So we're preparing.

02:30We pave the way to Tehran, and our pilots over the skies of Tehran

02:34will deal blows to the Ayatollah regime that they cannot even imagine.

02:40And I can tell you this.

02:41We have indications that senior leaders in Iran are already packing their bags.

02:48They sense what's coming.

02:50I'll tell you what would have come if we hadn't acted.

02:52We had information that this unscrupulous regime was planning to give the nuclear weapons

03:00that they would develop to their terrorist proxies.

03:03That's nuclear terrorism on steroids.

03:06That would threaten the entire world.

03:08This is what Israel is doing with the support, the clear support of the President of the United States,

03:14Donald Trump, and the American people, and many others in the world.

03:18So with God's help, and with the goodwill and resolution of all free societies, we shall win.
