Trump warns Iran: Lay down weapons or face death

US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iranian forces via social media video: lay down weapons or face certain death. The warning follows military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and missile infrastructure, part of Operation Midnight Hammer which Trump claims destroyed Iran's nuclear program at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Trump cited decades of hostility including the 1979 US Embassy takeover, 1983 Beirut Marine barracks bombing, and attacks on US personnel and allies. He specifically condemned Iran's role in the October 7 attacks on Israel that killed over 1,000 civilians including 46 Americans. The President emphasized preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and vowed to destroy Iran's missile industry and navy. Trump addressed Iranian forces directly: 'You must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity. Or in the alternative, face certain death.' He also urged the Iranian people to seize control of their destiny for a prosperous future.
