Trump offering immunity to IRGC, Iranian military and police forces

Trump urged Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to surrender with promises of total immunity amid US-Israel strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader and targeted multiple cities.

  • On Saturday, February 28, 2026, US President Donald Trump offered immunity to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, military and police if they surrender, warning of 'certain death' otherwise.
  • The US and Israel said the strikes aim to dismantle Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities, while US President Donald Trump framed the offensive as regime change momentum urging the Iranian people to rise up.
  • The IRGC comprises 150,000 to 190,000 active personnel and about 600,000 including reserve personnel, with the Basij volunteer paramilitary numbering 450,000 and the corps deeply embedded in Iran's political and economic systems.
  • Iran retaliated with drone and missile attacks on Israel and US bases in the Gulf, while regional airspaces were closed and residents sought shelter, according to reports.
  • Decision-Making in Iran now narrows to the Supreme Leader, senior IRGC commanders, and top security officials, making it uncertain whether strikes will weaken or entrench the IRGC, analysts warn.
