#Trump is expected to address the #war against #Iran during remarks at 11AM ET, the White House said Monday.
-
Earlier in this speech, #Trump enumerated 4 objectives of the #war: destroying Iran’s missile capabilities, “annihilating” its navy, preventing #Iran from obtaining #nuclear weapons & ensuring that “the Iranian regime” cannot continue to fund regional proxies.
There was no mention of #RegimeChange in that list, though he has emphasized the Iranian regime as “sick” & “sinister.”

#Trump has given conflicting justifications for his #war in #Iran, & has sought to downplay the country’s #military strength, he said that the regime’s ballistic missile program was growing “rapidly & dramatically, & this posed a clear, colossal threat to America & our forces stationed overseas.”

Trump’s own #Defense #Intelligence Agency estimated #Iran would not be capable of building missles capable of reaching the #US for a decade or so, & had not made a decision to begin.
#Trump said the attack could last “4 to 5 weeks,” but “we have capability to go far longer than that.” He added: “I don’t get bored. There’s nothing boring about this.”

#Trump only briefly mentioned the 4 #US service members who died. The event at which he is speaking is a medal ceremony honoring #veterans who fought & died in #US #wars.
Trump discussed, for the first time since the war began, his decision in 2018 to withdraw from the #Iran #nuclear accord negotiated by President Barack #Obama.
“That was a horrible, horrible dangerous document,″ he said, that would have given Iran “nuclear weapons 3 years ago.” [wrong]

#Iran was largely abiding by the agreement #Obama negotiated until #Trump pulled out of it, & though it was under no restrictions after that, it did not manage to produce a weapon.
Trump, in the middle of a Medal of Honor ceremony where he is explaining his rationale on deposing Iran’s supreme leader, starts talking about his White House ballroom project.

After a few minutes, #Trump moved on from his #war in #Iran to the curtains he’s picked out for the White House & his new ballroom. “I picked those drapes in my first term,” he says. “I always liked gold.” There’s light chuckling in the room.

Americans alarmed by the #deaths of 4 #US service members might have been expecting a formal presidential address from the White House. Instead, they are observing a president treating this like every other day: talking about his #ballroom, attacking #Democrats, bashing the news #media.

@Nonilex Felon number one already made clear that he thinks all people in the military are, and I quote: "losers"
