The attacks from both sides between Israel and Iran have entered their sixth day, with U.S. President Donald Trump issuing a statement regarding this new Middle Eastern conflict.
President Donald Trump stated that the United States is aware of the hiding place of Iran’s highest leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during this crisis between Israel and Iran, but he does not wish for him to be killed at this time.
In his message posted on social media, Trump urged Iran to “surrender unconditionally” as the conflict escalates.
“We know exactly where this so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding. He is easy to find, but he is safe where he is; we will not kill him at least for now,” Trump added in his post.
The attacks between the two nations have continued into the sixth day. Iran has once again launched a barrage of missiles towards Israel, while that country has retaliated by attacking the capital Tehran and other cities in Iran.
So far, the death toll in Israel stands at 24, with over 600 injured. In Iran, more than 200 people have been reported dead.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported early this morning that more missiles from Iran are being fired.
Warning sirens were heard as the Israeli military urged its citizens to follow the instructions provided by the IDF’s emergency department.
