El secreto era la preocupación primordial del Pentágono en los preparativos de la Operación Martillo de Medianoche perpetrada este sábado contra las instalaciones nucleares de Irán a órdenes de Donald Trump. Según han reconocido el secretario de Defensa, Pete Hegseth, y el jefe de Estado Mayor, el general Dan Caine.
00:00Last night on President Trump's orders, U.S. Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan, in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran's nuclear program.
00:18And as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will demonstrate, it was an incredible and overwhelming success.
00:26The order we received from our Commander-in-Chief was focused, it was powerful, and it was clear.
00:35We devastated the Iranian nuclear program, but it's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people.
00:44For the entirety of his time in office, President Trump has consistently stated for over 10 years that Iran must not get a nuclear weapon.
00:56Full stop.
00:58Thanks to President Trump's bold and visionary leadership and his commitment to peace through strength, Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated.
01:08Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to Iran's nuclear program.
01:16And none could.
01:18Until President Trump.
01:20The battle damage session is still ongoing, but do you believe that some nuclear capability in Iran remains?
01:29This mission was not and has not been about regime change.
01:34The president authorized a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self-defense of our troops and our ally, Israel.
01:49The president's fighters did not fly, and it appears that Iran's surface-to-air missile systems did not see us.
01:58Throughout the mission, we retained the element of surprise.
02:02As the secretary said, this was the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history and the second longest B-2 mission ever flown, exceeded only by those in the days following 9-11.
02:17Well, prior to the strike, General Karrilla elevated force protection measures across the region, especially in Iraq, Syria, and the Gulf.
02:28Our forces remain on high alert and are fully postured to respond to any Iranian retaliation or proxy attacks, which would be an incredibly poor choice.
