Trump enters the Situation Room as four B-52 nuclear bombers prepare for launch after president's Ayatollah death threat

Donald Trump has entered the White House Situation Room as he prepares to make the biggest decision of his presidency - whether to engage U.S. forces in Israel's war with Iran.

Trump has already issued a chilling death threat to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, revealing the U.S. knows his precise location and that he is an 'easy target.' Four U.S. B-52 Stratofortress bombers are also now stationed at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, within striking distance of Iran.

The B-52s, which can carry nuclear weapons or other precision-guided bombs, were spotted on a runway at Diego Garcia on Monday.

Trump made his threat to the Ayatollah after abruptly ending G7 meetings in Canada to fly back to Washington. 

His sudden departure immediately raised the prospect of an expanded war between Israel and Iran, and the potential for direct U.S. involvement.

Trump even angrily brushed off suggestions from French President Emmanuel Macron that he was returning to Washington to forge a peace deal between Israel and Iran.

Hostilities erupted early Friday when Israel launched a massive pre-emptive strike on Iran, hitting nuclear and military facilities and killing top military brass and nuclear scientists.

Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday: '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. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Nuclear bombers?  As opposed to bombers which use aviation fuel?

Whatever Trump is planning to do in Iran, he is certainly NOT making it a secret.
I guess he seriously wants to give Iran every chance to surrender.

Trump could not be more obvious that he has something big on the way to Iran.

I think he's giving the civilians a chance to get out of the way. It also forces whom ever is in charge of Iran to make whatever move they're going to make, exposing them to further annihilation.

I'll add that what could be making this a pressing issue is intelligence that they are hours/days away from having a functional nuclear weapon. That it has to be destroyed before it moves and/or disappears.

Israel should start air dropping weapons all over Iran. Let the Iranians sort out their government...

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

That's the ONLY option iran should have now:
Surrender.

No negotiations.
No truce.
No cease fire.
No "hudna" in which to rebuild strength.
Nuthin'.

Except...
Surrender.

Perhaps he intends to hit Tehran with one or more MOAB bombs(he used one in Afghanistan).  If he knows where the leader is as he claims, blanketing that area with MOABs, 2-3 of them, may just suck out enough oxygen to end that maggots life.

I completely disagree with the mindset of avoiding the leader of Iran.  If there is any truth in the claim the people wish for change, than taking out that lunatic accomplishes multiple goals, freeing the Iranian people from a totalitarian genocidal maniac, perhaps ending hostilities with Israel and finally bringing peace to the middle east.

One would think this is a no brainer for Trump.  I do not see a down side.  The whole of the arab world except those allied with Iran want this.

Put yourself in the shoes of an Israeli, who has lived with the onslaught of these genocidal maniac mussies constantly attacking your country, largely funded and supplied with military equipment from one source, Iran.  I would say it is about time Israel levels Iran. 

Trump is using the royal "we" when he says "we have complete control of the air", which tells me he has both feet planted in this fight, and I suspect whether it is MOABs, or the use of the B-2 bombers to destroy the nuclear sites, we will begin bombing Iran. 

Time for a little shock and awe on Iran.
