June 17 (UPI) -- Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is an "easy target," and Iran should surrender unconditionally, President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.

"We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

"He is an easy target but is safe there -- we are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now," Trump continued.

"But we don't want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers," he said, adding, "Our patience is wearing thin."
