Trump demanding Iran surrender [View all]

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-17/trump-to-meet-security-team-after-demanding-iran-s-surrender?srnd=homepage-americas

President Donald Trump was set to meet his national security team in Washington on Tuesday to discuss the escalating Middle East conflict, fueling fresh speculation that the US is on the verge of joining Israel’s attack on Iran.

“Before the meeting, Trump posted a demand for Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” and warned of a possible strike against the country’s leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump posted on social media.”
