President Trump says U.S. and Israel know location of Iran’s Supreme Leader

President Donald Trump declared on Tuesday that the U.S. and Israeli militaries are aware of the exact location of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, implying they have the capability to assassinate him but have chosen to hold off for the time being.

In posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.” He warned Iran not to launch missiles at civilians or American forces, emphasizing, “Our patience is wearing thin.”

Trump’s comments come amid recent escalations between Israel and Iran, with missile exchanges and targeted strikes increasing tensions across the Middle East. Israel has reportedly conducted several operations eliminating top Iranian military commanders and scientists tied to the country’s nuclear program. In response, Iran has launched ballistic missiles toward Israeli cities.

The president also called for an “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” from Iran, urging the regime to end its conflict with Israel. This follows reports that Trump vetoed an Israeli proposal to assassinate Khamenei, intending to keep diplomatic options open regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Throughout the day, Trump celebrated the combined U.S.-Israeli control over Iranian airspace, crediting American technological superiority. He dismissed claims from French President Emmanuel Macron that he left the G7 summit early to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, calling the reports “FAKE NEWS!” and denied any direct outreach to Iran for peace talks.

Last night, Trump reiterated that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons and urged Iranian civilians to evacuate Tehran, possibly signaling impending military strikes on the capital.

While U.S. forces have not directly participated in Israeli strikes inside Iran, American military support has helped defend Israel against Iranian missile attacks, similar to previous conflicts.

Trump’s tough stance on Iran is consistent with his previous policies, including withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal and ordering the 2020 assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, which intensified tensions between the two countries.

The situation remains fluid as the international community watches closely for further developments in this volatile conflict.
