Trump's speech, parts related to Iran, machine translation:

We are doing very well against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Our performance is outstanding. They want to do something, but I say they are not ready yet. They need more of this behavior. They are still not ready. They have sinister intentions.

We cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons. If we do all these things I’m talking about regarding them, including the work related to your data centers, isn’t that important? When they start destroying communities one after another, we cannot allow them to even think about having nuclear weapons. That is exactly what is happening. During my time, they will never have nuclear weapons.

Moreover, this work should have been done by others. They have been saying for almost three years that it has been 47 years, but this should have been done 50 years ago by other U.S. presidents or other countries. We didn’t have to do this, but apparently, if we don’t do it, no one else will either. I will do it, and no one else has the capability to do it.

During my first term as president, we built the largest military in the world. We are using a bit more than I thought we would, but that’s okay.

We had Venezuela. Chris is doing an amazing job there. We have compensated for the cost of that war many times over. We are taking millions and millions of barrels of oil, and that oil goes to Houston and Louisiana. You know; you see those ships lined up.

Again, I say, we have compensated for that cost over and over again, and we have a very good relationship with Venezuela. The people of Venezuela are now happy and cannot believe what has happened. The biggest companies and the largest oil companies in the world are entering there and doing business in ways no one ever imagined.

We also take our share; we have to. They take their share too. It’s very interesting that they are now making more money. Chris was showing me figures. Venezuela is now making more money than ever before. We are also making a lot of money, and I think we deserve it.

So it really was an incident that [incomprehensible]. It was a one-day war; it lasted one day. People were saying, “We are going to be stuck there forever.”

But you know, we were in Vietnam for 20 years and lost thousands and hundreds of thousands of people; at least thousands and thousands. We were in Afghanistan for years. We were present in all these wars you have heard about for many years. These were the wars I called endless wars.

But this time we have been involved for four months. I had a very sad day yesterday. I went to Dover. Four great American patriots were killed. That means 18 killed in two wars. Even one is too many, but the number is 18.

While in Vietnam, we lost 200,000 people. We lost thousands and thousands of people. In Afghanistan and in every war, we lost thousands. In the Korean War, thousands were also killed. All these wars lasted for years.

We want to finish this and we want to do it right. But we have to do what we came to do. We cannot allow these very violent people to get what they want, which is nuclear weapons.
[...]
So I just want to say in closing that being here is a great honor. I am now going to talk about various topics. One of them is the Iran war, which I again say we are doing very well; very, very well. I say better than anyone expected it could be done.

We have crippled their navy and air force. We have destroyed all their radars and most of their production capabilities. Their drone capability has decreased by 84% and their missile capability by 91%.

Then a newspaper wrote: “They are now in a stronger position than four months ago.”

No, that is not true. It’s not right. I can’t believe they are even allowed to say such a thing. The New York Times wrote: “They are now in a stronger position.”

They have no army. They have no navy. Their time is up. They had 159 ships, all of which are at the bottom of the sea. They had 212 planes, all of which are gone. They have no radar. They have no air defense. They have nothing; except that they are violent and smart and still have some capability.

But four months ago, believe me, they were much, much stronger. Do you understand? I want to give you the real news.
