“We know exactly where the so-called” supreme leader “is hidden. He is an easy target, but he is safe there. We will not eliminate him (kill!), At least not for the moment. But we do not want missiles drawn on civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is at an end. We thank you for this problem!” He posted Trump on his platform, Social Truth.
In a previous post, Trump has requested “Unconditional surrender” of Iran and claimed that the United States “I have complete and total control over the sky above Iran.”
Trump's statements come in the context in which JD Vance suggested that the US president could authorize “Additional measures” To stop the Iranian nuclear program, accusing Tehran of enriching uranium “far above the level required for civil purposes ”.
Israel intensifies the offensive
The Israeli army (IDF) announced, in a statement taken by Sky News, that he eliminated General Ali Shadmani, the chief of the General Staff of the Iranian armed forces, in an air attack last night in the center of Tehran. According to the source, Shadmani was the nearest military collaborator of Khamena's ayatollah and the successor to another commander killed by IDF on Friday.
Israel Katz, the Israeli Minister of Defense, launched a harsh warning to Tehran leaders on Tuesday. “I warn the Iranian dictator not to continue committing war crimes and launching rockets on Israeli civilians. It would do well to remember the fate of the dictator in the neighboring country with Iran, who chose the same way against the state of Israel.” The Israeli official transmitted, directly referring to former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, removed from power and executed following the 2003 American invasion.
