US President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated his rhetoric toward Iran, calling for its “unconditional surrender” in a series of combative posts on his Truth Social platform. The remarks come amid growing fears of direct US involvement in the ongoing war being waged by the Israeli occupation on the Islamic Republic.

“We now have total and absolute control over the skies above Iran,” Trump wrote. “Iran has good tracking equipment and air defense systems, but nothing compares to what America has built. No one beats American industry.”

Moreover, Trump claimed that US intelligence knows the whereabouts of Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei: “We know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding. He’s an easy target, but he’s safe there. We are not planning to strike him, at least not right now.”

Trump then issued a threat, stating, “We do not want to fire missiles at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is running thin.”

He ended his string of posts with a stark declaration: “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”

'Evacuate Tehran'

On Monday, he abruptly left the G7 summit in Canada, issuing an alarming call for residents of Tehran to evacuate their city and warning that a major decision was imminent. "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" he wrote on his social media platform, while summoning his national security team to the White House Situation Room.

While US officials continue to publicly deny involvement in the Israeli regime's unprovoked strikes on Iran, multiple reports, including from Axios and direct admissions by Israeli and Iranian officials, make clear that Washington provided the green light. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed that "Israel's" assault on Iranian territory is being carried out with full American support, describing it as a joint campaign of aggression.

The escalation has come despite Tehran's repeated insistence that it does not seek war and is acting solely in defense of its sovereignty. In response to "Israel's" brazen attacks on civilian infrastructure, hospitals, and peaceful nuclear facilities, Iran launched Operation True Promise 3, a powerful retaliatory strike that underscored the Islamic Republic's growing deterrent capability.

Defensive Sovereignty

Even as Iran upholds its commitment to regional peace, calls for restraint have been undermined by Western duplicity. French President Emmanuel Macron, who had proposed a ceasefire and warned against regime change, was ridiculed by Trump, who dismissed diplomacy and hinted at plans "much bigger" than a truce.

Meanwhile, the United Nations has yet to take concrete action against the aggressors. Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned the G7 for its blatant double standards, noting that while the Zionist regime continues to massacre civilians and destroy public infrastructure, Western leaders shield it from accountability under the guise of "self-defense."

Iran has called on the UN Security Council to fulfill its legal responsibilities and put an end to this reckless campaign of aggression. "Iran is defending itself against a cruel and coordinated assault," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei. "What other choice does any sovereign nation have?"
