- On June 18, 2025, President Trump announced that the United States has pinpointed the location of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei but currently chooses not to target him, while calling on Iran to surrender unconditionally.
- This statement followed intense Israeli airstrikes launched over several days targeting Iranian nuclear and military sites, alongside Iranian missile barrages fired toward Israel on Wednesday morning.

- Iran's official death toll reached 224 with mostly civilian casualties, while Israel reported 24 civilian deaths and the US increased its military deployments, though it remained cautious about deeper involvement.
- The situation implies rising regional tensions with Israel planning further escalation, Iran promising more attacks, and the U.S. signaling readiness to respond but emphasizing defensive actions for now.
