Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a strong warning to Iran amid escalating Middle East tensions, claiming the United States knows the exact location of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and demanding Tehran’s unconditional surrender.
In a post on his social media platform, Trump wrote, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He’s an easy target. But we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.” He followed it up with a declaration: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” and claimed, “We now have complete and total control over the skies of Iran.”
Trump’s statements come at a time of heightened military activity in the region, with the U.S. supporting Israel against Iranian retaliation and drone attacks. His rhetoric has sparked concerns over potential military escalation and has drawn global attention.
Though Trump does not currently hold office, his comments are influential and closely watched amid his ongoing presidential campaign. There has been no official response from the Pentagon or White House regarding his claims of U.S. air dominance or surveillance capabilities.
Iran has not publicly responded to Trump’s remarks, but any such threats could further strain already fragile regional stability. International observers continue to urge restraint from all sides as the situation develops.
