U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a series of stark warnings to Iran on his Truth Social platform, stating that the U.S. knows “exactly” where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding but will not target him—”at least not for now.” The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, though the U.S. has not declared direct involvement in any ongoing conflict with Iran, IgbereTV reports.
In one post, Trump called Khamenei an “easy target” but said, “He is safe there—We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.” He then warned, “We don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers,” adding, “Our patience is wearing thin.” In another post, Trump wrote in all caps: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”—echoing his earlier demands for Iran’s complete submission.
There was no immediate reaction from Iranian officials. Trump’s comments follow a long history of confrontational rhetoric between the two nations, including U.S. sanctions and the 2020 drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani. Analysts suggest the latest statements are likely aimed at deterring Iranian aggression while keeping military options open. The lack of an immediate response from Tehran indicates caution, but the volatile exchange raises concerns over potential escalation.
