SECRETARY RUBIO: The whole world has been impacted unfortunately because Iran is violating every law known by striking commercial vessels in the Straits of Hormuz.
Iran is a regime that doesn’t believe in laws, rules, or anything like that. It’s a state sponsor of terrorism.
President Trump: "The Iranian people want to be free. They have lived in a world that you know nothing about."
Thank you President Trump. You're 100% right. The vast majority of people have no idea what Iranians have lived through.
I've never felt more seen in my entire life.
BREAKING: "The Iranian people, when they don't hear bombs go up, they're upset. They want to hear bombs because they want to be free." - President Trump
President Trump delivered a powerful speech tonight. He was clear about our objectives in Iran:
• Destroy their weapons factories
• Destroy their navy
• Destroy their air force
• Destroy their chances of ever having a nuclear weapon
The President’s leadership sends a message to the world that the United States will defend its people and its interests, and uphold peace through strength.
One of the chief oppressors of the Iranian people and guardian of the religious Nazi regime in Iran is no more. The killing of notorious security chief, Ali Larijani, is the biggest blow to the regime since the death of the ayatollah.
Larijani was truly one of the key leaders of the regime’s security apparatus that is being used to terrorize the people of Iran and the region. His demise puts further pressure on the regime as they continue to lose their first and second layer of leadership.
This was an amazing military operation by all those involved. Well done.

You really learn a lot about the capabilities and will of your allies in difficult times like these. To those who suggest that confronting the Iranian regime and denying them a nuclear weapon which they were on the verge of acquiring is not their conflict - you’ve missed a lot since 1979.
In the nick of time, through Operation Midnight Hammer, President Trump stopped Iran from having enough weapons grade uranium to make at least 10 nuclear bombs. Iran was weeks away from achieving this, not years away.
Like many of our Arab allies, the UAE’s star shines brightly in several ways. The UAE understands why the U.S. is fighting to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, even though America gets only 1% of its oil through the straits. Their willingness to entertain the idea of being involved in an international coalition to protect the Strait is much appreciated. The brunt of the Iranian attack during this war has been on the UAE because they host American military bases and thousands of U.S. military personnel, providing nothing but the best treatment to our people.
When it comes time to making sure that those in the crosshairs of Iran have what they need to defend themselves, I believe the UAE should be at the top of the list.
Give the UAE what they need to defend their skies and our military personnel.

Through Operation Epic Fury, we are destroying Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities and weakening the regime’s ability to threaten the world with terror.
None of this would be possible without our Commander in Chief, his cabinet, and our brave men and women in uniform.
بهار در راه است و سال نو فارسی نیز به زودی فرا میرسد.
من میخواهم سال نو را به مردم ایران و فارسیزبانان در سراسر جهان تبریک بگویم.
نوروز خجسته باد برای شما سلامتی، شادی و رونق آرزو دارم. و از همه مهمتر، آزادی.
The days of Obama and Biden’s weak leadership are over.
Iran miscalculated President @realDonaldTrump’s resolve and Operation Epic Fury is the consequence.
I spoke to Kaleme television to emphasize that in tomorrow's free Iran, Iranians—regardless of which city or province of Iran they live in, what language or dialect they speak, and what religion they have or do not have—will be equal before the law.
My heart aches for the 3 American heroes killed and the 5 wounded by the regime. The Iranian people are forever in their debt.
To their grieving families: please accept our immense love, deepest condolences, and eternal gratitude.
The Iranian people are grateful to President @realDonaldTrump for striking the monstrous regime and giving them a chance at freedom. Now is the time for strong, steady leadership to deliver on that historic opportunity. I discussed my plan with @MariaBartiromo on @FoxNews.
