Trump threatens Iran’s leader, demands ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER’
CNBC ^ | June 17 | CNBC

Posted on 06/17/2025 11:20:00 AM PDT by RandFan

President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that he is an “easy target” and “our patience is wearing thin,” before demanding Tehran surrender in its conflict against Israel.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” he wrote after declaring “total control” over Iran’s airspace.

“But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin.”

Trump in a subsequent post made clear what he does want from Iran: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

The threat from the U.S. president came two days after news outlets reported that Trump vetoed a plan by Israel to assassinate the ayatollah.

I'm afraid to say he's losing it by endorsing a regime change?

There is about to be a big hole where Iran’s nuke facility is.

The world changed from 1973-1979. That is between the OPEC oil strike and the mullah’s take over of Iran.

It looks like that great change is being reversed

Horrible crappy decision.

Most historians believe the unconditional surrender demands put on Germany and Japan by the DEMOCRAT AND SOCIALIST ROOSEVELT made them fight much harder.

WTH Trump are you doing? First backsliding on getting rid of illegals then just a few days later this.

I voted for you mostly Becuase you said you were a president of peace and lawful immigration.

SMDH.

He’s trying to superimpose a completely Western notion on an Islamic Asian country for whom there is no such possibility.

A politician is someone who waits to see which direction a crowd is going, then rushes to the front so he can be its "leader."

Similarly, Trump senses an impending military victory. He wants to rush in and be its leader.

Seems every president wants military glory.

How does one get "regime change" in Iran without actually sending a giant army to occupy their cities, TV stations, and government buildings?

“Most historians believe the unconditional surrender demands put on Germany and Japan by the DEMOCRAT AND SOCIALIST ROOSEVELT made them fight much harder.”

And Germany and Japan.. Did NOT come back.. Pretty much the last wars we actually WON.

What have we “won” since then? Grenada?

Unlike all the rest where we left the “bad guys” in control and left. Where they rearm, rebuild and start up a little while later.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat!

Iran with no nukes and new leadership is peace. This has been a 46-year problem in the making.

I want Iran’s nuclear capability destroyed. Who leads them is their problem. If the Iranian people want to rise up, they will.

This war should only take a few seconds, the time it takes to destroy the nuke facility with a bunker buster.

Exactly. No more wars, but more importantly no more tuck tail and run if we engage and leave the devil in charge.
