President Trump gave an update on Operation Epic Fury during remarks at a White House Medal of Honor Ceremony on Monday and outlined his objectives in the war in Iran. 

Trump spoke for approximately six minutes about Iran, where he made the case for stopping Iran's nuclear and missile ambitions, before awarding the Medal of Honor to three Army Soldiers.

"This was our last best chance to strike, what we're doing right now, and eliminate the intolerable threats posed by this sick and sinister regime, and they are indeed sick and sinister. Our objectives are clear," Trump said.

"First, we're destroying Iran's missile capabilities, and you see that happening on an hourly basis, and their capacity to produce brand new ones and pretty good ones they make. Second, we're annihilating their neighbor. We've knocked out already 10 ships. They're at the bottom of the sea.
