Trump’s speech to the nation will cast the US as having met or exceeded all of its military goals, including destroying Iran’s ballistic missiles and production facilities, annihilating its navy, ensuring that Tehran’s proxies can no longer destabilize the region and ensuring that the country can never obtain a nuclear weapon, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to detail the president’s remarks before they’re delivered.
