We Know Khamenei’s Whereabouts, But We’re Not Going to Kill Him: Trump

Washington — Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a series of sharp statements regarding Iran’s current geopolitical stance, escalating tensions with Tehran. Trump claimed that the United States has “complete control” over Iranian airspace, signaling a strong military and strategic posture in the region.

In a recent statement, Trump said, “We know exactly where Ayatollah Khamenei is hiding. We are not going to kill him, but our patience is running out.” This remark reflects heightened pressure from the U.S. on Iran’s leadership amid ongoing regional conflicts and diplomatic deadlock.

Trump further demanded unconditional surrender from Iran, stating, “Iran must surrender without any conditions,” underscoring his uncompromising approach toward the regime.

These comments come amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions following drone strikes and increased military presence in the Persian Gulf. Iran has condemned these assertions, maintaining its sovereignty and warning against foreign intervention.
