U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that the U.S. knows “exactly” where Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is located, adding that he is “safe for now” but stressing that Washington’s “patience is wearing thin.”
“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,” Trump posted on social media. “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!”
Just minutes later, Trump followed up with another post, writing: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” - after previously claiming that U.S. forces had “complete and total control” over Iranian airspace.
