Trump teases possible US strike as Iran supreme leader warns America: Live updates
WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump teased a possible U.S. strike on Iran, as the country's supreme leader warned of "irreparable damage" if America joined Israel's air war.
“I may do it. I may not do it," Trump told reporters at the White House on June 18. "Nobody knows what I’m going to do.”
“The next week is going to be very big," he said. "Maybe less than a week.”
Earlier, in a speech televised one day after Trump demanded Iran's "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER" on social media, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rejected any notion of surrender as Iranians jammed the highways out of Tehran fleeing intensified Israeli airstrikes
Khamenei's defiant speech came after a sixth night of airstrikes by Israel and Iran sent civilians fleeing for safety in Tehran and Tel Aviv.
"Intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation and its history will never speak to this nation in threatening language because the Iranian nation will not surrender," he said. Trump on June 17 personally threatened Khamenei, caling him an "easy target."
