Trump urges Iran diplomats around the world to seek asylum

Mar 5, 2026, 21:48 GMT+0Updated: 01:20 GMT+0

President Donald Trump called on members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, military and police to lay down their arms or face death, offering immunity to those who defect and urging Iranian diplomats abroad to seek asylum.

Trump also said Iran was “calling” for negotiations while appearing to praise Iran's fight back.

"They have no air defense. All of their airplanes are gone. Their communications are gone. Missiles are gone. Launches are gone. About 60% and 64%, respectively. Other than that, they're doing quite well. I said, what's left? But they're tough, and they want to fight." he said.

"And they're calling. They're saying, how do we make a deal? I said, you're being a little bit late, and we want to fight now more than they do.

Trump added that Washington would ensure whoever leads Iran next “will not threaten America or its neighbors.”
