Speaker 1: This is Carol Plat Libeo for town hall dot Com.
Speaker 1: This year marks twenty five years since September eleventh, two
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Since then, America's grown older and soberer.
Speaker 1: We've learned the hard way that even the world's greatest
Speaker 1: military can't remake the Middle East. After Iraq and Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: few Americans won another long conflict in a distant land.
Speaker 1: But let's be clear, Iran isn't some random target. For
Speaker 1: nearly fifty years, its regime has waged war against US
Speaker 1: directly and through terrorist proxies, working constantly to destabilize the
Speaker 1: region and beyond. It's taken Americans hostage, pursued nuclear weapons,
Speaker 1: funded terror groups, aided our enemies, and even plotted to
Speaker 1: assassinate our president. Reports indicate it was preparing attacks on
Speaker 1: US interests in the Middle East. Iran's evil leaders abused
Speaker 1: America for decades with impunity. Good riddance. I'm Carol Platt
