Trump to Iran: “unconditional surrender!”

We have complete control over the Iranian airspace – US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday. We know where the political and spiritual leader of Iran Ali Chamenei is hiding, but for now we will not kill him – he added.

“We now have full and complete control in heaven over Iran,” wrote Trump on Truth Social. He did not specify who he meant when writing in the plural.

He noted that “Iran had good observation devices and other defensive equipment, he had a lot of it, but it cannot be compared to + things + manufactured, designed, made in the US. Nobody does it better than the good old US” – he emphasized.

Trump also referred in the next post to the leader of Iran Ali Chamenei. “We know exactly where the so -called highest leader is hiding. He is an easy goal, but he is safe there. We do not intend to eliminate him (kill!), At least for now,” said the US President.

“But we do not want shells fired at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience ends. Thank you for your attention!” – added Trump.

“Unconditional surrender!” – the president wrote in the next post.

The media has reported in recent days that the US President has rejected the Israeli plan to kill Chamenei in fear of the conflict escalation. “It does not escalate the conflict, it will end the conflict,” said Israeli, Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

Vance: Trump can decide on “subsequent activities” against Iran

US President Donald Trump may decide that he must “take further actions” to counteract the enrichment of uranium by Iran – said US vice president JD Vance on Tuesday.

The vice president wrote on platform X that Trump “shows extraordinary restraint” when it comes to maintaining the attention of the US armed forces on the protection of American soldiers and citizens.

“He may decide that he must take further action to end the enrichment (uranium) by Iran. This decision at the end belongs to the president. And of course people are right when they are worried about foreign involvement after the last 25 years of idiotic foreign policy,” Vance added.

“However, I think that the president has gained trust in this matter. And watching it up close in person, I can assure you that he only cares about the use of the American army to achieve the goals of the American nation” – emphasized the Vice President of the USA.

Vance also wrote that the president has been maintaining for 10 years that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. In recent months, he encouraged his team, dealing with foreign relations to conclude an agreement with Iranians to achieve this goal. “The president made it clear that Iran could not enrich uranium. And he repeated many times that this would happen in one of the two ways – easy or this +other +” – noted the deputy head of the state.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said that he wanted a “real ending” of the conflict between Iran and Israel, and not just a suspension of weapons. In an interview with reporters on board Air Force One, he emphasized that Iran could not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons.

As Axios wrote on Monday, the US helps Israel to capture bullets fired by Iran, but they clearly hidden that Israel is working alone when it comes to attacking Iran. The administration was also to inform allies that the United States did not intend to actively join the war between Israel and Iran until Tehran attaches the Americans.

Israel called on Trump's administration to participate in the war and eliminate the Iranian nuclear program. A representative of the US authorities told Axios on Saturday that Washington was not considering such a variant. Despite the declaration from the authorities that the United States will not join the war, the armed forces take steps to prepare for such a possibility.
