U.S. President Trump announced that the Iranian military command has collapsed and that thousands of people want to surrender, calling on the army to "lay down your arms or face certain death." Trump stated that the intensity of the operations has created a significant disintegration within the Iranian military wing, saying, "The entire military command structure is in disarray. Many want to surrender to save their lives and are asking us for immunity. Right now, thousands are reaching out to us for this purpose."
U.S. President Donald Trump claimed in a video message shared via Truth Social that Iran's military structure is in a state of great collapse. Trump emphasized that he would not stop until the operation achieves its objectives.
"THE MILITARY COMMAND HAS ENDED"
Trump suggested that Iran's defense line has been broken and that high-ranking military officials are looking for a way to escape, stating: "The entire military command has gone, and many want to surrender to save their lives. They are requesting immunity; thousands are calling us."
HARSH ULTIMATUM TO THE IRANIAN ARMY: SURRENDER YOUR WEAPONS OR DIE
Addressing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian army directly, Trump noted that the options are narrowing.
Stating that those who surrender their weapons will be granted immunity, Trump said, "Surrender your weapons, you will be treated fairly and granted full immunity. Otherwise, you will face certain death. This may be your last chance tonight."
HE ALSO SENT A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN: THE REST IS UP TO YOU
Trump argued that the hour of freedom for the Iranian people has come, calling for them to take over the government: "I am calling on you; stay in the shelters, the outside is very dangerous, bombs will fall everywhere. But when the operation is over, take back your government. It is in your hands, but we will always be with you."
"THE AMERICANS' REVENGE WILL BE TAKEN"
Expressing that the Washington administration will not back down, Trump emphasized that revenge for American soldiers who lost their lives in the past will be taken. Trump stated, "Military operations will continue uninterrupted until we achieve all our objectives and Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities are completely destroyed."
While promising to "obliterate" Iran's missile industry and "destroy" its navy, Trump reiterated that the main goal of the operation is to ensure that Iran never possesses nuclear weapons again.
NINE IRANIAN SHIPS HAVE BEEN SUNK
U.S. President Donald Trump also announced that nine ships belonging to the Iranian Navy have been sunk. Trump stated, "I just learned that we have destroyed and sunk nine ships belonging to the Iranian navy."
Noting that some of the ships were quite large and significant, Trump said, "We are after the remaining ones; soon they will also be at the bottom of the sea. In another attack, Iran's naval headquarters was also largely destroyed."
