'There can only be victory' - Trump, at Pentagon 9/11 ceremony, says US continuing fight against terror

US President Donald Trump, at a Pentagon remembrance event on the 25th anniversary of 9-11, vowed that America would continue the fight against what he called a “sick, horrible terror”. The attacks on September 11, 2001 were the deadliest on US soil with nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. At the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, American Airlines Flight 77 struck the building's west flank, killing 184 people.

The president used his speech to make the case for the Iran war, which he has defended as necessary to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

00:00Today we renew the sacred oath that we first swore in their names a quarter of
00:08a century ago. We will never ever forget. That's why we fight today. We don't have
00:22a choice. There can only be victory. We fight hard. We fight to win. We will
00:28always remember the victims and the families of September 11, 2001. Very famous date, unfortunately.
00:41We cannot forget that moment of immense and horrible evil that took place in this world,
00:54bent on the destruction of all that is good. But this morning, we also remember how America responded
01:03to that wickedness. On days like 9-11, we learn what a country is truly made of. We're learning
01:13right now what we're made of. And we have to be strong and we have to be smart. Today, as
01:20we
01:20remember the many lives lost on 9-11, we also give thanks for the countless lives saved by
01:29the immortal heroes of Flight 93. In those harrowing days after the attacks, we saw the authentic
01:40spirit of our nation. We were all New Yorkers that day, every one of us. We were all New Yorkers.
01:52But we were also all Americans. We were all family. We were all patriots. The enemy might destroy what
02:01American hands had built. But we could not touch the fight and the fire and the love in our great
02:11American hearts. In the generation since 9-11, American sons and daughters have traveled
02:19to the darkest corners of the earth and done battle with a shadowy enemy so that our children might once
02:27again know carefree days and cloudless skies. For 25 years, our best and bravest have kept
02:36America safe. And today, we salute every member of the United States military who served in the
02:43war on terror. It is a war on sick, horrible terror.
02:52And we salute the service members working right now to ensure the world's number one sponsor of terror.
03:01The Islamic Republic of Iran will never, ever have a nuclear weapon.
03:17God bless our 9-11 families. God bless our unbelievable, brave and beautiful first responders.
03:27God bless the United States military. And God bless America. Thank you very much.
04:06God bless the United States military.
04:10God bless the United States military.
