U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Iran to surrender unconditionally amid growing military tensions. In a fiery post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the U.S. knows exactly where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is hiding. He called Khamenei “an easy target,” but stated that the U.S. is not planning to eliminate him—for now.
Trump warned that American patience is “running thin.” He emphasized that while the U.S. is currently avoiding direct strikes on Iran’s leadership, continued missile attacks on civilians or U.S. troops could force a stronger response. “We don’t want missiles falling on people. Stop now,” Trump said.
The U.S. president also claimed that American forces have gained full control of Iran’s airspace. He admitted Iran had good air defense systems, including radar and missile tracking. However, he insisted that Iranian systems are outdated when compared to advanced U.S. technology.
“No country builds better war machines than good old America,” Trump declared. He praised U.S. military manufacturing as unmatched, suggesting Iran stood no chance in a direct confrontation. He further hinted that Iran’s military strength was mostly exaggerated and would soon collapse under pressure.
Trump’s message comes as the Iran-Israel conflict enters a dangerous new phase, with increasing airstrikes and civilian casualties on both sides. The U.S. remains firmly aligned with Israel. Trump’s latest warning appears to increase pressure on Tehran while signaling that Washington may escalate if provoked further.
