President Donald Trump met with top security advisers Tuesday as the U.S. boosted its military presence in the Middle East amid escalating strikes between Israel and Iran.
Trump, who left the G-7 summit early, is considering options, including joining Israel in targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities or pursuing last-minute diplomacy to curb Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
On social media, Trump demanded Iran's “unconditional surrender” and hinted at restraint, stating the U.S. knows the whereabouts of Iran’s supreme leader but won’t act “for now.”
"We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding," he wrote on Truth Social. "We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now...Our patience is wearing thin."
Three minutes later, he posted, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"
