Trump has shifted from advocating for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict to implying that the US could become involved. On Tuesday, he contemplated the assassination of Khamenei and subsequently called for Iran's "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"
"Intelligent people who know Iran, the Iranian nation and its history will never speak to this nation in threatening language because the Iranian nation will not surrender," Khamenei responded. Meanwhile, Iran braces for potential direct involvement from the United States.
