President Trump was seen rolling out a video message after the US and Isreal started military action in Iran, describing those strikes as a major combat operation aimed to dismantle Iran's missile forces, navy, and nuclear ambitions.
He framed this campaign as essential to keep the United States protected, its troops, and all allies from what he described as imminent threats posed by Tehran's government.

He then went on to warn the country's military and all revolutionary guards and police that they should lay down all weapons and surrender, or they would have to face certain death. He then promised those who disarmed that they would be treated fairly and given full immunity.

"This is a change that many have longed for generations," the president continued.
