< p > Trump posted today, "We know exactly where this so-called 'Supreme Leader' (referring to Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei) is hiding. He can be easily hit, but he is safe there for now - we will not take him out (kill!), at least not for the moment. But we do not want missile attacks on civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is running out. Thank you for your attention to this matter! "< /p >< p > Comment on a few points: Recently, the conflict between Israel and Iran has been escalating, with Israel even planning to assassinate Khamenei. According to US media reports, the Trump administration previously vetoed this plan. Now that Trump has posted this message, it shows that the United States knows where Khamenei is located and has the ability to strike him, but has not yet taken action.< /p >< p > There may be multiple considerations behind this. On one hand, the United States does not want to provoke a strong reaction from Iran due to a hasty move against Khamenei, which could further escalate the situation in the Middle East. After all, Iran has significant regional influence and certain military strength. If the situation deteriorates completely, the interests of the United States and the safety of its troops in the Middle East will face great threats. On the other hand, the Trump administration may also try to use this soft-hard approach to force Iran to make concessions on nuclear issues and regional affairs, attempting to reach an agreement that serves American interests. However, Iran has always firmly defended national sovereignty and its own rights and interests, with Khamenei repeatedly emphasizing that he will not yield under external pressure. This kind of threatening statement by Trump is likely to make Iran more vigilant and tough, further straining the already tense US-Iran relations, and the future development of the Middle East situation remains highly uncertain.< /p >< p > It should be noted that assassinating the leader of another country is equivalent to declaring war in the eyes of the international community, and it is a serious violation of international law and basic norms of international relations.< /p >< p >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/ab2761d0961640719e9725fc12d096ef~tplv-obj:1334:1999.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835220528377987&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757980800&x-signature=iR1zbauuJdQNrUQqZgesmwbKPCc%3D" / >< img src = "//p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-ezhpy3drpa/77d85364c4aa4b388e5a4a067601d8d9~tplv-obj:400:400.image?_iz=97245&bid=15&from=post&gid=1835220528377987&lk3s=06827d14&x-expires=1757980800&x-signature=Knq36nA65vEkKeJ6Ubabemin%2FIo%3D" / >< /p >< p > Original text: https://www.toutiao.com/article/1835220528377987/< /p >< p > Disclaimer: The article represents the author's personal views.< /p >
