President Trump on Tuesday said the US knows “exactly” where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is hiding from Israel’s persistent airstrikes on Tehran leaders and nuclear program infrastructure, warning that the dictator is quickly running out of time to end uranium enrichment.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”
“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump made his desires expressly clear just a short while later, posting to Truth Social: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
While the president initially vetoed Israel’s plan over the weekend to take out Khamenei, both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have indicated that the nations are nearly done waiting for Tehran to give up its nuclear program.
Netayahu on Monday night told ABC news that he was not ruling out killing Khamenei, if necessary.
“We are doing what we need to do,” the prime minister said.
Israel on Monday secured air superiority over Tehran, and Trump on Tuesday said “we” now have control over Iran’s entire airspace — seemingly indicating that the US and Israel are standing strongly together.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.'”
“Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
