President Donald Trump is weighing a potential military strike against Iran amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Israel, according to CNBC. He has publicly demanded that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “surrender,” according to officials. Trump is considering a U.S. military strike against Iran among several options discussed with top national security advisors on Tuesday. Hours before the meeting, Trump warned Ayatollah Khamenei that the U.S. knows his location and called him an “easy target,” while asserting control over Iran’s airspace. He stated the U.S. does not intend to kill Khamenei “for now,” but demanded “unconditional surrender” from Iran. The Pentagon is deploying additional warships and another aircraft carrier to the Middle East.
