President Donald Trump delivered remarks at the Pentagon on September 11, 2026, during the 25th anniversary commemoration of the 9/11 attacks, honoring the 184 victims at that site along with those lost in New York and Shanksville. He emphasized national unity after the attacks, recounted victim stories, and renewed the pledge to “never, ever forget,” while connecting the events to the ongoing U.S. military campaign against Iran, which he described as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Trump specifically saluted service members working to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and framed the conflict as a continuation of the post-9/11 fight against terror. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth joined in linking the anniversary to current operations. The ceremony included a flag unfurling and victim name readings, with the president’s statements providing the primary text for market resolution.
