‘We know exactly where the so-called `Supreme Leader’ is hiding,’ the U.S. President 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. 

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

Trump’s increasingly muscular comments towards Tehran follow mounting speculation of a US strike on Iran amid reports the American military is deploying more fighter aircraft to the Middle East.

The US President has also reportedly sent more than 40 military jets to the UK and Europe, and closer to striking distance of the region.

Defence minister of Israel, Israel Katz, has warned Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that he could face ‘a fate similar to Saddam Hussein,’ in Israel’s latest threat against the Ayatollah.

What will happen next?

Israel’s ambassador to the United States has warned that his country has ‘surprises’ it is ready to unleash on Iran which will make the Mossad exploding pager plot ‘look simple’.

Yechiel Leiter said ‘there’s still a lot of things we can do’ as he insisted the full extent of Israel’s capabilities had not yet been revealed.

‘We’ve pulled off a number of surprises,’ he told Merit TV. ‘When the dust settles, you’re going to see some surprises on Thursday night and Friday, that will make the beeper operation almost seem simple.’
