US President Donald Trump has issued a chilling threat to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, demanding “unconditional surrender” from Iranian forces. In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump claimed that the US knows exactly where Khamenei is hiding and described him as an “easy target.” However, he also stated that American forces would not take him out… for now.
Trump’s comments came after Israel launched a campaign to cripple Iran’s nuclear program by destroying nuclear sites, targeting scientists for assassination, and taking out military leaders. The US has denied any involvement in the operation, but Trump’s rhetoric suggests otherwise. He claimed that the US had achieved “complete and total control of the skies over Iran” and implied that American forces might target Iranian targets if they continue to attack Israeli civilians.
The threat comes amid a significant buildup of US firepower in the region, with dozens of Air Force refueling planes transferred to Europe, two destroyers moved closer to Israel, and military families given permission to fly home for their safety. The State Department has also updated its travel advisory for Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank territory to “do not travel” due to the escalating violence.
The situation in the Middle East remains highly unpredictable, with both sides suffering casualties. Iran’s nuclear program is a major concern, and the US appears to be preparing for a potential military confrontation.
