Trump threatens Iran's supreme leader, escalating his rhetoric about the conflict

President Trump escalated his rhetoric against Iran on Tuesday, issuing a threat on social media against its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and taking credit for having "complete and total control of the skies over Iran."

"We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now," Trump said in a post — one in a series of statements he made before meeting with his national security team in the White House Situation Room about the conflict.
