President Donald Trump Threatens Iran's Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

He said he's an “easy target” and “patience is wearing thin"

President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he is an “easy target” and “our patience is wearing thin,” before demanding Tehran surrender in its escalating conflict with Israel.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump wrote on 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,” he wrote after declaring “total control” over Iran’s airspace.*

“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin," he added.
