U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Iranian citizens to be prepared to take over the government after the end of the military operation against the Iranian regime and has called on members of the Iranian security forces to lay down their arms, promising them "absolute immunity."

"When we're done, you will take control of your government, it will be yours to take it," Trump said on social media, minutes after the U.S. and Israel began a joint operation against Iranian territory.

He has assured us that the US Army aims to "eliminate imminent threats" from the Iranian regime.

"Iran will never have a nuclear weapon," he added in a video posted on the Truth social network.
