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.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed on Monday that the U.S. has deployed additional military assets to the region. Hegseth and other senior officials have said the moves are “defensive” as speculation mounts over whether American forces will join Israel’s ongoing military campaign.
A U.S. defense official told Anadolu Agency that Hegseth ordered the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group to the CENTCOM area of responsibility “to sustain our defensive posture and safeguard American personnel.”
Regional tensions remain high since Friday, when Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities. Tehran responded with missile attacks. Israeli officials report at least 24 people killed and hundreds wounded by Iranian strikes. Iran says at least 224 people have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in Israeli attacks.
