 🗣️ What Trump Said

On June 16, Trump posted on Truth Social:

**“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”** and reiterated, **“IRAN CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.”**  

He also demanded Iran’s unconditional surrender, warning that U.S. patience was running out. The previous day’s statement included, **“UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!”**  

Trump emphasized that the U.S. knows the whereabouts of Supreme Leader Khamenei but is **“not going to kill him—for now.”**  

🌆 Reality on the Ground

Following his statement, thousands of Iranians attempted to flee Tehran, causing severe traffic jams that went viral online .

However, evacuation is logistically nearly impossible in a city of ~10 million due to ongoing congestion and infrastructure strain .

On the governmental front, Iran’s response has been to refuse surrender, maintain air defenses, and warn that any U.S. intervention could trigger “irreparable damage.” Supreme Leader Khamenei has denounced the threats .

💥 Broader Context

This warning comes as Israel and Iran are engaged in military exchanges, including Israeli airstrikes on Tehran and Iranian missiles fired at Israel .

Trump cut short his trip to the G7 summit, citing the escalating Middle East crisis as the reason for an early departure .

He has also shifted military assets to the region in support of Israel, though publicly maintained the U.S. hasn't directly entered the conflict—yet both defensive and offensive options remain on the table
