Opened by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the 22,000-acre facility is the largest military command center in the world. Its name comes from its eight-sided architectural design, inspired by ancient Egyptian and Islamic architecture, drawing comparisons to the U.S. Pentagon.

The Octagon integrates military operations, strategic planning, sovereign institutions, and national emergency management into a single command center.

Spanning 13 strategic and logistical zones, it features advanced digital infrastructure, including artificial intelligence systems that analyze real-time data to support decision-making and improve responses to cyber threats, security challenges, and national emergencies.

The complex was designed and built entirely by Egyptian companies and experts.

No matter what happens, I'll deliver this speech. Maybe it will be a little bit shorter, but I am going to do it whether it's 10 PM, 11 PM, or 2 AM.

I don't care if there won't be anybody; it's America 250.

If they can storm the beaches on D-day, I can deliver a speech.

Communists haven't got a chance.

We don't want communists in our country.

We use our military and we've had tremendous success.

You look at Venezuela. You look at Iran; we wiped it out, wiped out their military.

We have the banner that flew atop our flagship after America's Navy sank the Spanish fleet to the bottom of Manila Bay, one of the greatest naval victories in history.

Much like our recent victory by sinking the entire Iranian Navy, 159 ships, to the bottom of the sea. All done in just a moment's time; it happened very quickly.

We have the greatest military anywhere in the world.

America is a nation of winners, and today our country is winning again, and we're winning like never before.

America is back, and we want to keep America great, and we will do so by approving the SAVE America Act, which means all voters must show voter ID.

We are asserting the truth that American strength and power is not something to be ashamed of; they are something that we are very, very proud of.

This country has been the greatest force for peace and justice on earth.

In the last century we defeated tyrants, demolished evil, and saved freedom again and again and again.

Communism is a loser, and it always will be.

The communist system is the opposite of the American system. It has never worked.

Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America.

The Stars and Stripes cast the hammer and sickle into oblivion before.

We will do it again if necessary.

I don't think it's gonna be necessary. I think people have learned.

They've learned what to do and how to handle it, and we're going to handle it very well.

We're going to be going to Mars very soon. I think that's something that we do have in mind. We are gonna do the Moon and then Mars.

We're going to go to Mars, and we're going to continue to be way ahead.

We did Space Force. That was something I was very proud of, and some people smiled. They thought it was foolish, and now they are finding it's one of the most important things that we've done.

We were losing to China and to Russia in space, and now we're leading them by giant steps, and it's a great thing.

Our country is just getting started, because the best is yet to come. This is only the dawn of the Golden Age of America.

On this 250th Fourth of July, we declare, just as they did two and a half centuries ago, that for our country and for our children and for the cause of liberty, we are going to take our country to new levels, to levels not reached.

We're going to make it bigger, better, stronger, and we're going to love it even more.
