US Knows Where Iran Supreme Leader Is Hiding, But We Won’t Kill Him ‘For Now’ — Trump

United States President Donald Trump claimed the U.S. knows the exact whereabouts of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but is choosing not to kill him for now.

In one of the posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump said that while Khamenei is an easy target, he won’t be “taken out at least not for now.”

He made it clear that the U.S. wants to avoid violence against civilians and American troops, but also warned that patience is running out.

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 said on his Truth Social platform.

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!”

Shortly after, the US president followed up with another blunt message: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” —raising eyebrows and fueling speculation about whether the U.S. might soon join Israeli efforts to target Iran’s leadership and nuclear sites.

Trump had just returned early from the G7 summit in Canada as tensions between Iran and Israel continued to heat up.

Although Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. isn’t part of the conflict, he’s also hinted that Iran could still accept a deal to shut down its nuclear program—the same proposal he had pushed before Israel launched its strikes.

Still, his recent statements suggest Washington might be preparing to get more directly involved.

On Tuesday, Trump claimed that U.S. forces now have “complete and total control” of Iranian airspace, praising the effectiveness of American-made weapons.

He didn’t name Israel, but the timing and tone of his remarks seemed aligned with Israel’s own recent claims.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One during his flight home from Canada, Trump made it clear he’s not looking for a temporary pause in fighting.

KanyiDaily recalls that China recently criticized Donald Trump for making the Iran-Israel conflict worse, following his online warning urging Iranians to “immediately evacuate.”
