TRUMP CALLS FOR IRAN’S ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER’ – Trump says whereabouts of Iranian leader Khamenei are known
U.S. President Donald Trump demanded on Tuesday Iran’s “unconditional surrender” amid mounting evidence showing the U.S. considering joining Israel’s strikes against the country.
He also posted on social media sites on Tuesday that “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran” and warned that “Our patience is wearing thin.”
Trump made the posts before he met with a national security team in the White House over the military conflict between Israel and Iran.
Earlier on his flight back to Washington from Canada, Trump said on Air Force One that he was not in the mood to continue talks with Iran. He said he was seeking a result that was “better than a cease-fire” between Israel and Iran but “an end, a real end.”
AirNav systems, a flight tracking website, said that the U.S. had sent over 30 refuelling aircraft to Europe on Sunday.
In addition to the refuelling tankers, the U.S. military is deploying F-16, F-22, and F-35 fighters and even moving the aircraft carrier Nimitz to the Middle East, according to U.S. government officials.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has also withdrawn troops from another two military bases in northeastern Syria.
