Trump Claims 'Complete Control' Over Iran's Skies, Demands 'Unconditional Surrender'

In a big claim, President Donald Trump declared in a social media post on Tuesday that the United States has "complete and total control of the skies over Iran." The US president remarked that the Israeli military is equipped with aircraft and weapons systems purchased from the US, and Iranian defence equipment "doesn't compare."

"We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran," said Trump. "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." The Israeli military is equipped with aircraft and weapons systems purchased from the U.S," he added.

In an earlier post, Trump had claimed to know "exactly" where Iran’s Supreme Leader is hiding and added that “at least for now, they’re not going to kill him.” Issuing a warning, he demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender."

"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. 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 wrote on Truth Social.

In another follow-up post, he, in all caps, wrote, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

Trump, who was in Canada for the G7 Summit, left early amid the Middle East crisis. While boarding Air Force One, Trump said he just wants an "end" to this fight and that he's seeking a "real end" to the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. A ceasefire is not the "real end," he said.

Trump also denied reports of him reaching out to Iran for a possible peace deal. "I have not reached out to Iran for "Peace Talks" in any way, shape, or form. This is just more HIGHLY FABRICATED, FAKE NEWS!" he said.

"If they want to talk, they know how to reach me. They should have taken the deal that was on the table - Would have saved a lot of lives!!!" the US President wrote in a Truth Social post.
