Trump Claims US Controls Iranian Airspace, Demands Surrender

President Donald Trump declared that the United States has "complete and total control" over Iranian airspace amid escalating tensions and Israeli military strikes targeting Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure. Trump threatened Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling him an "easy target" but stated there were no immediate plans to kill him, while demanding an "unconditional surrender" from Iran. This assertion of control over Iranian skies underscores potential U.S. involvement beyond defensive support to Israel, despite official limitations on direct combat operations. Trump's remarks blurred lines between U.S. and Israeli military actions, reflecting coordination behind the scenes as Israel continues bombing campaigns inside Iran. Vice President JD Vance supported Trump's restraint and long-standing stance against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons, emphasizing the president's focus on protecting American lives. These developments come as Trump abruptly left the G7 summit, signaling a hardline posture in the nuclear dispute and regional conflict.
