Trump reveals US knows where Iran’s supreme leader is ‘hiding’ but won’t take action for now: ‘Easy target’
By Caitlin Doornbos
President Trump on Tuesday said the US knows “exactly” where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is hiding from Israel’s persistent airstrikes on Tehran leaders and nuclear program infrastructure, warning that the dictator is quickly running out of time to end uranium enrichment.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now.”
“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
