President Donald Trump has just announced that the United States has taken “complete and total control” of Iranian airspace.
The president issued a series of strongly worded statements on Truth Social amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
In one post, Trump said U.S. military capabilities had fully secured the skies over Iran, despite Tehran’s defenses.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” the president wrote.
“Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American-made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’
“Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.”
In a follow-up post, Trump said the U.S. intelligence community knows the exact location of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warning that American patience is “wearing thin.”
“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 stated.
“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers.
“Our patience is wearing thin.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump concluded the string of posts with a third message, declaring simply: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”
The messages came shortly after Trump returned to Washington, D.C. from Alberta, Canada, where he had been attending G7 meetings in Kananaskis.
The White House confirmed the president left early due to the evolving situation in the Middle East.
While en route back to the U.S., Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One, reiterating his concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
“I think they were very close to having [a nuclear weapon],” Trump said.

When asked what outcome he preferred over a ceasefire, Trump responded, “A real end.”
“Something that will be permanent?” a reporter asked.
“Yeah, or giving up entirely, that’s okay too,” the president replied.

The administration has not yet elaborated on operational details related to airspace control or intelligence on Khamenei’s whereabouts.
However, Trump’s latest remarks mark a significant escalation in rhetoric as the White House weighs its next steps.
The Pentagon has not issued an official comment on the situation.
