•Johnson highlighted Iran's missile building speed and scale exceeded allies' defensive capabilities, also providing cover for nuclear ambitions.
•Attempts to negotiate with Iran on nuclear enrichment and funding of proxies/terrorist groups were unsuccessful.
•The US acted on a "narrow and unique opportunity" to neutralize Iran's missile launch capability and downgrade its Navy.
•President Donald Trump affirmed the US acted preemptively, not due to Israeli maneuvering, and the campaign severely degraded Iran's military.
