Trump Warns He’ll Kill Khamenei If Americans Are Attacked

U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified his stance on Iran amid escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, now entering their fifth day. In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump asserted that the United States is aware of the whereabouts of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but stated there are no immediate plans to target him.

He emphasized that while Khamenei is an accessible target, the U.S. will refrain from action “for now.” Trump further demanded Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” signaling a hardening U.S. position in the ongoing conflict.

These declarations follow Trump’s abrupt departure from the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Canada, to address the escalating Middle East crisis. Upon returning to Washington, he convened a meeting with top national security officials in the White House Situation Room. The President reiterated that the U.S. has “complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” highlighting the advanced capabilities of American-made weaponry, though he did not specify any direct involvement in current military operations.

The conflict was triggered by Israel’s launch of “Operation Rising Lion,” targeting Iranian nuclear facilities and military infrastructure. In retaliation, Iran has fired over 150 ballistic missiles and more than 100 drones at Israeli targets, resulting in significant casualties and damage on both sides. The International Atomic Energy Agency reported damage to Iran’s Natanz nuclear site, raising concerns about nuclear safety and regional stability.

Trump has previously offered Iran a 60-day window to negotiate a new nuclear agreement aimed at halting uranium enrichment. With that deadline now expired, he has expressed frustration over Iran’s reluctance to engage in talks, stating that the time for negotiation is over and warning of potential consequences if Iran continues its current course.

The international community has responded with concern. The United Kingdom has deployed Royal Air Force fighters to the region, and several European nations have begun evacuating their citizens. Countries including Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and members of the European Union have called for de-escalation and a return to diplomatic solutions.
