United States President, Donald Trump, has called on the Iranian people to rise up against the country’s clerical leadership in Tehran, declaring that the government now belongs to them to reclaim.
His remarks came as the United States and Israel carried out coordinated military strikes targeting the Islamic Republic. Trump stated that the aim of the operation is to protect America by eliminating what he described as imminent threats posed by Iran’s leadership.
According to him, the attacks were necessary due to Tehran’s continued pursuit of nuclear capabilities and long-range missile systems that could potentially threaten the United States and its allies. He described the military action as a justified and strategic mission.
Trump revealed that the strikes are part of a broader and sustained campaign designed to dismantle Iran’s missile infrastructure, weaken its naval forces, and prevent allied militant groups in the region from destabilizing global security or targeting American troops stationed abroad.
Despite earlier claims that previous attacks had crippled Iran’s nuclear program, Trump alleged that Iran attempted to rebuild its nuclear facilities and expand its missile development efforts, posing renewed risks to Europe, US allies, and American territory.
He also issued a direct warning to members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other Iranian security forces, urging them to surrender and lay down their weapons. Trump stated that those who comply would receive immunity, while those who refuse would face severe consequences.
The military action followed a significant buildup of US forces in the Middle East, one of the largest deployments in recent years, signaling that the operation had been anticipated.
