President Donald Trump is weighing a potential military strike on Iran as tensions escalate in the Middle East.

Following a Situation Room meeting with top advisers, Trump declared that the United States has 'complete and total control of the skies over Iran' and demanded Tehran's 'unconditional surrender.' He also stated that while the U.S. knows the location of Iran's Supreme Leader, it is choosing not to act 'for now.' The administration's hardline stance comes amid ongoing hostilities between Israel and Iran, raising concerns about a broader regional conflict.
