Trump Warns Iran: “We Know Where Khamenei Is”

Politics 17 June 2025 22:30

U.S. President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is "safe for now" but emphasized that "our patience is wearing thin," amid rising regional tensions, CE Report quotes Anadolu Agency

In a social media post, Trump said, “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding... We are not going to take him out—at least not for now.” He called for an end to missile attacks on civilians and American troops, adding, “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

The statement followed his claim of “complete and total control” of Iranian airspace.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the deployment of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group to the Middle East to bolster U.S. defenses. This comes as speculation grows over possible American involvement in Israel’s military operations.

Tensions have sharply escalated since Israel launched airstrikes across Iran on Friday, prompting retaliatory missile attacks. Israel reports 24 dead, while Iran says over 224 were killed in the exchange.
