In the morning, the media reported that Israel and the United States launched an attack on Iran on the morning of February 28, and explosions were heard in Tehran and other cities. The Israeli authorities confirmed this.
Trump said the U.S. goal in the operation was “to protect the American people by eliminating the immediate threats posed by the Iranian regime.”
“It is the consistent policy of the United States, and especially of my administration, that this terrorist regime can never have nuclear weapons. I will say it again. They can never have nuclear weapons,” the American president says in the video.
He warned of the possibility of casualties in the US military, noting that “this happens often in war, but [Белый дом] does this not for the sake of today, but for the sake of the future, and this is a noble mission.”
Trump called on members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, military and police to lay down their arms and receive full immunity or be killed.
“Otherwise, you will face certain death. Lay down your arms. You will be treated fairly, with full immunity – or you will face certain death,” the president added.
He also called on the Iranians to take power when the US “finishes,” as this is “the only chance for generations to come,” he said.
