Washington: In an unusually forceful address amid soaring tensions in the Middle East, former US President Donald Trump delivered a stark message to Iranian troops and security personnel, telling them they must disarm immediately or face the risk of death if they continue resisting. His remarks came as the United States and Israel confront Iran over its nuclear and military developments, a situation that has already seen strikes on Iranian territory and triggered alarm across the region. �

Trump framed his warning as a choice between survival and destruction, declaring that Iranian forces would be spared only if they voluntarily abandoned their weapons and stood aside. He presented this ultimatum not just as a military directive but as a final opportunity for Iran’s military leadership to avoid total annihilation. The former president emphasised that the overwhelming strength of the American armed forces, which he said had been rebuilt and expanded under his leadership, gave Washington the capability to neutralise threats decisively. �

Addressing members of Iran’s armed forces — including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and police units — Trump said that laying down arms would secure complete immunity, but continued resistance would bring “certain death.” Speaking directly to the Iranian public in the same remarks, he urged ordinary citizens to stay indoors and avoid harm as military operations intensified. Trump also claimed that the moment offered Iranians an opportunity to rise against their government and take control of their own future, saying that Washington was prepared to back a transition if the regime fell. �

Trump’s declaration followed months of escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, combined with repeated warnings from the US that Iran must halt enrichment of nuclear material and curb its missile programme or face severe consequences. Diplomatic efforts to reach a negotiated settlement have so far failed to produce a breakthrough, and military pressure has grown, with US naval and air forces deployed in significant numbers throughout the region. �

The atmosphere of confrontation has been punctuated by direct military actions, including coordinated strikes on Iranian nuclear and missile sites by the United States and Israel, which Trump saw as necessary to prevent Tehran from threatening global security. Iran has consistently rejected foreign demands, insisting on its sovereign right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and denouncing external pressure as aggression. �

Analysts say Trump’s warning to disarm reflects the highest level of verbal escalation yet from Washington, and underscores how strained relations have become between the two nations. Many observers worry that such ultimatums, coupled with ongoing military buildups, could push the situation closer to full-scale conflict if diplomatic channels remain blocked. �
