U.S. President Donald Trump, in a video address, demanded that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) lay down its arms.

“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,” the U.S. president said.

During his address, he also noted that the strikes could result in casualties.

“The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war. But we're doing this not for now. We're doing this for the future,” he stated.

According to Trump, the United States intends to “raze to the ground” Iran’s missile industry.

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally obliterated again,” he said.

The U.S. president also addressed the Iranian people.

“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations,” he said.
