Details: Hegseth explained that this operation is not the beginning of war, according to him, it is a declaration of revenge.
In turn, US President Donald Trump named the reasons for this special operation.
Direct speech Trump: “Due to ISIS’s brutal killing of brave American patriots in Syria, whose beautiful souls I welcomed to American soil with great dignity earlier this week, I am announcing that the United States, as promised, will strike back very hard against the terrorists responsible for these killings.
We are striking very hard against ISIS strongholds in Syria, a blood-soaked country with many problems but a bright future if ISIS is destroyed.
The Syrian government, led by a man who is working very hard to restore Syria’s greatness, fully supports these actions. All terrorists angry enough to attack Americans are warned: You will be hit harder than ever before if you attack or threaten the United States in any way.”
