Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that the US knows the location of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but won't kill him "for now." He demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender." Israel launched further strikes on Tehran, prompting evacuations and causing significant disruption. Iran vowed retaliation, using hypersonic missiles in its attacks on Israel. The US embassy in Jerusalem is closed, and Congress debates potential US intervention, with Senator Kaine introducing a war powers resolution. Trump's actions and statements are causing significant political debate.
