I'm once again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the military, and the

police to lay down their arms. They're only going to be killed. And now is the time to stand

up for the Iranian people and help take back your country. You're going to have a chance,

after all these years, to take back your country. Accept immunity, we'll give you immunity, and we'll be

giving you really the right side of history, because that's what it is. So you'll be perfectly

safe with total immunity, or you'll face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't want to see that.

They don't want to see it either.

We also urge Iranian diplomats around the world to request asylum and to help us shape a new and better Iran with great potential. It's a country with great potential. There's much better

future for Iran. It's now beginning. It's going to be,

I think, a great future. And the United States will ensure that whoever leads the country next,

Iran will not threaten America or its neighbors, Israel, anybody.

And we begin with breaking news in the war with Iran. The push to punish Iran is expanding from the battlefront to the banking system.

Morning Joe has learned that the United Arab Emirates moved forward early this morning on its

threat to freeze billions of dollars in Iranian assets. That's according to a top official in the region speaking with Joe.

The UAE has long been a financial hub for Iran and its business interests seeking to avoid

Western sanctions. The Wall Street Journal had reported that such a move by UAE officials

would sever a key economic lifeline for Iran and cut off

its access to foreign capital and trade.

The Iranians who have fired over 1,000 missiles into the UAE have suffered a sharp economic

downturn that was responsible for public demonstrations that led up to the American

and Israeli attacks on that country.

What comes next side?
