Trump Says U.S. Knows Where Iran’s Khamenei Is ‘Hiding’ but Won’t Kill Him ‘for Now’; Demands ‘Unconditional Surrender’
- On June 18, 2025, President Trump demanded Iran's unconditional surrender while stating the U.S. knows where Supreme Leader Khamenei is hiding but will not kill him for now.
- This demand followed escalating hostilities after Israel launched coordinated airstrikes against Iranian nuclear and military facilities near Tehran, intensifying the Israel-Iran conflict.
- Iran retaliated by firing hundreds of missiles and drones toward Israel, causing sirens in southern Israel and killing at least 24 people, while residents of Tehran evacuated amid ongoing air raids.
- Trump met his National Security Council for 90 minutes on Tuesday and announced deployment of additional U.S. fighter jets to the Middle East to strengthen defense and deterrence in the region.
- The conflict suggests further escalation is likely as Israel plans more airstrikes, the U.S. weighs deeper involvement, and Iran vows more attacks, while global security and oil markets remain on alert.
