Trump: "Unconditional Surrender"... Khamenei: "No Mercy, the Fight Has Begun" Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is reportedly hiding from airstrikes, has previewed a strong retaliation against Israel. On the 18th, according to foreign media such as The Times of Israel, Khamenei posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account that day: "We must take a tough stance against the Zionist terrorist group. We will not show mercy to the Zionists." The term "Zionist" is a hostile reference to Israel. Khamenei also posted: "In the name of Haydar, the fight has begun." Haydar is an expression used when referring to the first Shiite Imam, Ali. Khamenei referenced the Muslim army's conquest of the Jewish settlement of Khaybar in the 7th century, stating: "Return to Khaybar." The accompanying image for this post shows a man holding a sword and his followers entering a city where flames fall. Since the sudden airstrike by Israel on the 13th, Khamenei has not appeared publicly. Some foreign media reports claim he has gone into an underground bunker with his family. On the 17th, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on his social media Truth Social: "We have the precise location of the so-called 'Supreme Leader.' Although he is an easy target, we won't eliminate him for now," "Our patience is running out."
