‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!’ Trump says ‘we know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding’
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States knows where Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding, calling him an “easy target,” but adds he’s not looking to kill him for the time being.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump said on 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!”

“UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” the president added.
Trump also Tuesday expressed confidence in American-made weaponry being used in the Israel-Iran war, saying “Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” Trump said.
“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.”

In an another post early Tuesday, Trump stated: “I have not reached out to Iran for ‘Peace Talks’ in any way, shape, or form. This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS! If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table – Would have saved a lot of lives!!!”
JUST IN: President Trump is “SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING” a U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities, particularly the Fordow Plant, which is built into a mountain, per reports

Trump is getting mixed reaction online, including:
“FAFO. It’s the American way. We don’t play games with terrorists. We blow them up before they blow us up.”
“Control of the skies reflects technological superiority, but true success lies in its ability to promote peace.”
“If Iran fires rockets at Israel from now on, America will be disgraced in front of the world.”
“WE? What’s with this WE sh**? Not our war!”
“You said no new wars and now you’re getting us into a endless ones. American lives are now going to be on the line and you are going to have blood on their hands. You said America first not Israel first. This is going to end terribly. Stop now and focus on AMERICA.”
“Well technically, according to Israel, this war has been going on for 30 years. So technically it isn’t a new war. But I agree. I did not vote for this.”
