President Trump stated, "These incredible men and women gave their lives to ensure that the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism would never acquire nuclear weapons."


The prohibition of nuclear weapons in Iran has consistently been emphasized by President Trump as a non-negotiable 'red line' during end-of-war negotiations with Iran. Previously, he had indicated that a conclusion to the negotiations with Iran was near, leading to speculation that the issue of denuclearization could be deprioritized compared to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. As some within the Republican Party opposed this, President Trump once again underscored the ban on nuclear weapons, drawing attention.



In his speech, President Trump also mentioned American war veterans from past conflicts, saying, "Many of the greatest figures have embarked on a long and epic journey, from World War II to the Korean War and the Vietnam War." He further referenced medevac helicopter pilots who served in the Vietnam War, following their participation in World War II and the 6·25 Korean War.
