Tension between the US and Iran just got a whole lot worse. Donald Trump, the former US president, claims he knows exactly where Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is hiding. But here’s the thing – Trump says he won’t take him out… at least, not yet.
Trump made the shocking statement on his social media platform, Truth Social. “We know exactly where this so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” he wrote. “He’s an easy target, but he’s safe for now. We won’t take him out, at least not yet.”
The reason for the restraint? Trump claims it’s because he doesn’t want to hurt innocent civilians or American soldiers. “We don’t want missiles flying into civilian areas or hitting American troops,” he explained. “But our patience is wearing thin.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has made headlines with his comments on Iran. Earlier, he boasted that the US has complete control over Iranian airspace. “We’ve got the best equipment, the best tech – nobody does it better than us,” he said.
What’s interesting is that Trump used the word “we” when talking about the successful attack on Iran’s defense systems. But here’s the thing – it was actually Israel that carried out the attack, not the US. Trump’s use of “we” has raised eyebrows, especially since his government has been trying to distance itself from the attack.
As the situation between the US and Iran continues to escalate, one thing is clear – the tension is not going away anytime soon. And with Trump’s latest comments, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen next.
