President Donald Trump declared, “We demand unconditional surrender from Iran—no negotiations, no delays.” This comes as Israeli fighter jets continue pounding Iranian nuclear and military targets, with over 400 confirmed Iranian casualties and widespread destruction in Tehran and Isfahan. Trump confirmed that U.S. air power is “fully operational” in the region, though he insists “we haven’t launched yet.”
As the Israel–Iran air war crosses its sixth day, U.S. B-52 bombers, destroyers, and missile defense systems have moved into high alert positions across the Gulf. Trump’s message to Iran’s leadership was direct: “If one more American asset is hit, we will unleash fire they’ve never seen before.”
Donald Trump Says U.S. Knows Khamenei’s Location but Holds Fire—For Now
President Donald Trump announced in a high-stakes press conference, “We know where Khamenei is hiding—but I’ve chosen not to eliminate him… for now.” This cryptic remark is seen as a psychological maneuver aimed at destabilizing Iran’s command while retaining a tactical escalation card.
While Iran claims it is prepared for a prolonged war, Trump’s message is clear: the U.S. has eyes everywhere and the technology to execute. His refusal to strike the Supreme Leader—yet—signals a desire to avoid total regime collapse while keeping the pressure razor-sharp.
U.S. Reinforces Israel But Donald Trump Stops Short of Declaring War
Donald Trump stated, “Israel is doing what the world should’ve done years ago—taking Iran’s nukes off the table. We are with them 100%.” The Pentagon has confirmed the deployment of Patriot missile systems, Aegis destroyers, and advanced stealth fighters to support Israeli defenses—but no official war declaration has been made.
Despite full support for Israel’s military campaign, Trump emphasized, “We are not at war with Iran—yet.” He warned Iran against retaliating directly on U.S. forces or allies, saying that such an act would trigger “a biblical-level military response.”

Donald Trump Flirts with Assassination Threat- “We Know Where Khamenei Is
“There will be no ceasefire. Not now. Not while Iran is building bombs,” Trump declared, rejecting French-led diplomatic efforts for a temporary halt. He dismissed European calls for peace as “weakness dressed in diplomacy,” reiterating that only Iran’s full nuclear disarmament will stop the strikes.
The Iranian government has asked for a ceasefire and hinted at resuming nuclear talks, but Trump was blunt: “Talks don’t work with tyrants. Power does.” U.S. and Israeli intelligence believe Iran’s underground nuclear facilities remain active and that recent Israeli strikes only delayed—rather than destroyed—the enrichment process.
Trump Faces Republican Split as Congress Moves to Limit His War Powers
Amid the growing tensions, Trump is also facing heat at home. Congress is split, with several bipartisan lawmakers moving to restrict Trump’s unilateral ability to launch new attacks. While hawks like Sen. Lindsey Graham back Trump’s posture, others in the MAGA camp are warning against being dragged into another Middle East quagmire.
Trump responded with typical bravado: “I don’t need Congress to tell me how to protect America.” His aggressive foreign policy has triggered a new debate in Washington: Is he restoring U.S. strength, or is he risking another endless war?
Global Fallout: Oil Shock, Evacuations, and the Risk of Wider Wars
Trump ordered the evacuation of all U.S. personnel from Jerusalem, Erbil, and parts of Bahrain. Oil prices soared by 17% overnight as the Strait of Hormuz faces potential closure. Meanwhile, China and Russia have issued joint warnings against any attempt to assassinate Iran’s leadership.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has also raised red flags about radiation risks following airstrikes near Iran’s nuclear reactors. But Trump remains unmoved: “This ends on our terms. Iran had its chance.”
