US knows where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding, wants Iran's unconditional surrender: Trump

Amid rising tensions between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump has issued a sharp warning to Tehran, declaring on social media that the United States knows the exact location of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While asserting that the US would not "take him out" at this point, Trump warned that American patience was "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 Truth Social. He added, “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!”

In a follow-up post, he simply wrote in all caps: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

The statement comes as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day. The ongoing violence has already claimed over 200 lives in Iran, mostly civilians, and at least 24 Israeli civilians, with missile and drone strikes exchanged between the two sides. The attack continued on Tuesday night, with the Israeli military claiming that Iran had launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One today, Trump clarified the US position, stating, “We’re looking at better than a ceasefire.” When pressed about what that meant, he said, “A real end. Not a ceasefire. An end,” as quoted by the BBC.
