President Trump ordered the Iranian regime, military and police forces to “lay down” their guns or face “certain death” after the US and Israel launched “Operation Epic Fury” Saturday — as he appealed to protesters to control their “destiny.”
The commander in chief warned Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his lackies that they will face the full force of the US military if they don’t heed his warning.
“To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative face certain death,” Trump said during his eight-minute video address Saturday morning.
“So lay down your arms, you will be treated fairly with total immunity or you will face certain death.”
Trump told the Iranian citizens that it was their time to “respond” and seize and take control of the government.
“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance for generations,” Trump said.

“For many years, you have asked for America’s help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let’s see how you respond. America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.
Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close, within your reach. This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”
