US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, declaring on Truth Social that the US knows the location of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei but is “not going to take him out—at least for now.” The threat followed Israeli PM Netanyahu’s suggestion that eliminating Khamenei could end the conflict. Trump demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and advised civilians to leave Tehran. His remarks come amid ongoing Israeli strikes and reports of panic in Iran’s capital. Trump cut short his G7 visit to return to Washington, declaring “we’re looking at better than a ceasefire,” suggesting potential escalation instead of peace. (PC: Reuters)
