Trump: US planning war with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump laid out a detailed action plan against the Iranian regime in a public speech. According to him:

- Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. It will never get nuclear weapons, and the United States guarantees that Iranians will not be allowed in this regard.

- The United States intends to destroy Iran's missiles, completely dismantling its missile industry and navy.

- Trump called on the people of Iran to overthrow the government after the completion of the bombings.

- Our goal is to protect the American people and eliminate immediate threats from the Iranian regime.

- The U.S. may suffer losses during the operation against Iran, but we are doing everything to minimize them, Trump said.

- Trump invited members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran's armed forces, and police to lay down their weapons. Those who comply, he said, will be granted 'full immunity'.

The statement lacks direct references to specific government decisions or coordinated military planning. Trump emphasizes that only expectations and intentions have been announced.
