We have total dominance over Iran skies, says Trump

In a series of explosive statements on Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump announced that America has secured “complete and total control” of the skies over Iran, amid growing speculation about possible US involvement in Israel’s ongoing military strikes against the Islamic republic.
Posting on his Truth Social platform, Trump praised the performance of US-manufactured weapons systems, without directly referencing Israel’s air campaign against Iran. “Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” Trump wrote.
In another post, the US President issued a chilling warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, claiming the United States knows his whereabouts but has chosen not to strike — “for now.”
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but we are not going to take him out, at least not for now,” Trump declared. He went further to threaten, “Our patience is wearing thin.”
Adding to the tension, Trump demanded what he termed Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!” intensifying fears of a broader conflict in the already volatile Middle East region.
The President’s comments came as he cut short his participation at the G7 summit in Canada, returning to Washington for urgent security briefings in the White House Situation Room, following the intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran.
Though Trump reiterated that the United States had not formally entered the conflict, his increasingly bellicose language and declarations of air superiority signal that an American intervention could be on the horizon.
Earlier, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump dismissed the idea of temporary truces, stating, “I want a real end, not a ceasefire,” and indicated that he was “not in too much of a mood to negotiate.”
This development follows Israel’s series of airstrikes on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure, actions which have already claimed the lives of several top Iranian commanders and scientists. The escalating hostilities have seen both nations exchange deadly missile strikes, raising alarm across the region and within international diplomatic circles.
As diplomatic efforts teeter and rhetoric sharpens, the world watches closely to see if the conflict will expand into a full-blown regional war involving the United States.
