Trump to Iran: Surrender or Perish - 'Waste of Time' for Invasion

US President Donald Trump stated that a ground invasion of Iran would be a "waste of time," but indicated that the US would have a say in selecting the next Iranian leadership. He emphasized the US desire for a "good leader" and mentioned individuals he believes could do a good job, without naming them. Simultaneously, Trump called on members of the Iranian military, police, and Revolutionary Guard to lay down their arms, offering "full amnesty" to those who abandon the regime. He warned that those who do not surrender will face "absolute death." This statement comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran, following recent attacks on oil tankers and the downing of an American drone.
