"He warned that if Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) did not surrender they would be killed, and the country's armed forces, its missile and navy would be smashed. The way would then be open for the Iranian opposition and the country's ethnic minorities to rise up and bring the regime down."
"It's time for all the people of Iran—Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balochis and Akhvakhs—to shed from themselves the burden of tyranny and bring forth a free and peace-seeking Iran, Trump said."
"The maximalist aims of the joint attack cast doubt on whether there had ever been any prospect of success for the US-Iranian negotiations in the preceding weeks, in which delegates discussed possible limits on uranium enrichment."
A coordinated military operation between the United States and Israel against Iran has commenced, framed as preventing an existential threat. Trump delivered an eight-minute address in a red baseball cap after bombing began, warning Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to surrender or face annihilation of the country's armed forces, missiles, and navy. He called for Iran's ethnic groups—Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Balochis, and Akhvakhs—to overthrow their government and establish a free, peace-seeking nation. Netanyahu coordinated messaging, characterizing Iran as a terrorist regime. The maximalist objectives of this joint attack suggest preceding US-Iranian negotiations regarding uranium enrichment limitations had minimal genuine prospects for success, with the assembled American military force appearing designed to compel complete Iranian capitulation.
