“Nothing’s too late,” Trump said. “I can tell you this. Iran’s got a lot of trouble.” “Nothing is finished until it is finished,” Trump added. But “the next week is going to be very big— maybe less than a week.” Trump also offered a terse response to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s refusal to heed to his call for Iran to submit to an unconditional surrender.
“I say good luck,” Trump said.
Khamenei earlier Wednesday warned that any United States strikes targetting the Islamic Republic will “result in irreparable damage for them” and that his country would not bow to Trump’s call for surrender.
Trump said Tuesday the US knows where Iran’s Khamenei is hiding as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates but doesn’t want him killed — “for now.” “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now,” Trump said.
Trump’s increasingly muscular comments toward the Iranian government come after he urged Tehran’s 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut short his participation in an international summit earlier this week to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team.
