In his strongest language yet, President Donald Trump issued a bold ultimatum to the Islamic Republic of Iran, calling for its "unconditional surrender" and warning Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he is in the U.S. military’s crosshairs.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump didn’t mince words:
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He’s an easy target, but he’s safe — for now. We are not taking him out (kill!), at least not yet.”
Trump made clear what’s at stake: the safety of American lives and Israeli civilians.
“We don’t want missiles raining down on civilians or on American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
This was not a vague statement — it was a direct message to Tehran’s leadership: stand down, or face overwhelming consequences.
Earlier, Trump had effectively confirmed that Israel’s dominance in the skies over Iran is backed by U.S. technology and strategic coordination.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” Trump declared. “Iran had plenty of air defenses, but they’re no match for American-made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
The message was crystal clear: the Jewish state is not acting alone — and its edge comes straight from the arsenal of the United States. American military excellence, in partnership with Israel’s resolve, is dismantling Iran’s nuclear ambitions piece by piece.
Iran, meanwhile, is in panic mode. Residents are fleeing Tehran, major markets are shuttered, and police are using loudspeakers to order civilians off the streets. One local Afghan shop worker summed it up:
“It looks like no one is living in this city.”
As Iran reels from Israeli precision strikes against its nuclear and military infrastructure, U.N. officials and European leaders scramble to contain the fallout. Russia’s envoy warned of “geopolitical risk,” but it's clear Moscow is more concerned about maintaining regional influence than holding Iran accountable for decades of terrorism and nuclear brinkmanship.
U.S. allies are responding. The United Kingdom is deploying additional Typhoon fighters and air-to-air refuelers to reinforce regional security. U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey stated clearly:
“We are at the highest level of force protection. This is about defending our people and standing with our allies.”
Internet access in Iran is now being throttled, further evidence that the regime is scrambling to hide the truth from its people as its grip on power falters.
Back home, some of Trump’s America First allies — including Senator J.D. Vance and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene — are urging caution on deeper U.S. involvement. But Vance clarified Trump’s position:
“Iran will not be allowed to enrich uranium. This will stop — the easy way, or the ‘other’ way.”
With millions of Iranians abandoning their capital and Israel maintaining superiority in the skies, the writing is on the wall: Iran’s regime is cornered, its nuclear program is crumbling, and both the U.S. and Israel are united in ensuring the world’s most dangerous sponsor of terrorism is finally brought to its knees.
