On September 11, 2026, President Donald Trump commemorated the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks during a solemn ceremony at the Pentagon, emphasizing the United States' ongoing battle against terrorism. In his address, Trump underscored the lessons of the past and the necessity of continued vigilance against threats, specifically linking current tensions with Iran to the legacy of the attacks.
During the ceremony, Trump stated, "Today we renew the sacred oath that we first swore in their names a quarter of a century ago. We will never, ever forget. That's why we fight today." His remarks highlighted the enduring impact of 9/11 on national policy and military engagement, as he positioned the fight against Iran as a continuation of the 'War on Terror' initiated by former President George W. Bush.
The President’s speech was marked by a tribute to the 184 individuals who lost their lives when a plane struck the Pentagon, with their names honored through a solemn bell toll. Trump's choice to speak at the Pentagon, rather than participate in the more prominent memorial events in New York, drew attention as he focused on the military's role in combating what he described as the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism, Iran.
