Newsman: President Donald Trump called upon the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, military and police to “lay down their arms” against the U.S. and Israel as the conflict in Iran surges on — telling these military forces to “take back your country” from the regime. President Trump offered these officers immunity, saying they’d face “absolutely guaranteed death” if they declined.
“And I’m once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military and the police to lay down their arms. They’re only going to be killed. And now is the time to stand up for the Iranian people and help take back your country,” Trump said during an event on Thursday at the White House.
“You’re going to have a chance, after all these years, to take back your country. Accept immunity, we’ll give you immunity,” he continued.
“So you’ll be perfectly safe with total immunity, or you’ll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don’t want to see that. They don’t want to see it either,” he added.
US government employees advised not to travel to Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan region
The State Department advised U.S. government personnel not to travel to Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan region in a new security alert issued Thursday.
The alert comes after Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said earlier Thursday that drones struck the city of Nakhchivan, just north of the country’s border with Iran. One drone hit the city’s airport, the ministry said.
