Do not let it pass.

Short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran.

When we are finished, take over your government.

It will be yours to take.

This will be probably your only chance for generations.

For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted death to America and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops, and the innocent people in many, many countries.

They've rejected every opportunity to renounce their nuclear ambitions.

and we can't take it anymore.

For these reasons, the United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests.

We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground.

I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity, or in the alternative, face certain death.

So lay down your arms.

You will be treated fairly with total immunity, or you will face certain death.

My administration has taken every possible step to minimize the risk to U.S.

personnel in the region.

Even so, and I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill.

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.
