Strictly speaking, the thrust is produced by there being pressure (internal) on the front of the engine which is not balanced by pressure on the back, since the gases squirt out through the jet pipe. The engine produces least power in static conditions, e.g. at the start of take-off, and (at least theoretically) most when moving forward at the same speed as the exhaust gases are moving rearward.
