Trump offering immunity to IRGC, Iranian military and police forces

Source: The Hill

02/28/26 6:22 PM ET


President Trump on Saturday said he will offer immunity to members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), along with its military and police forces, after the U.S. and Israel attacked the country earlier in the day.

“We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us,” Trump wrote on Truth Social where he also announced that Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was dead. “As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death!'”

“Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves,” the president added.

“That process should soon be starting in that, not only the death of Khamenei but the Country has been, in only one day, very much destroyed and, even, obliterated.”

They ought to research how the U.S.-supporting Afghans were handled by 45.

No hints, no clues.

Sounds somehow something that is good, I guess.

Good comment about how well the Afghans who helped Americans were/are being treated.

I am glad I wasn't the only person to think that statement was ridiculous.

10. Given they are on Iran, not the US, how does he even have this power?

A future Iranian government can charge them if they were involved in atrocities. The ICC can charge them... again without asking the US.

He is not yet emperor of the world.
