**Khamenei Reportedly Hiding in Bunker as Trump Warns Patience Wearing Thin**

**Tehran, Iran** – Amidst escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly retreated to an underground bunker in Lavizan, near Tehran, according to Iran International News. The outlet, citing sources, claims Khamenei is accompanied by his entire family, with one of his sons recently moved to the shelter.

This report surfaces as former US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning, stating on Truth Social that the US knows “exactly where” Khamenei is hiding and that his “patience is wearing thin.” Trump added, “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers.”

The situation is further complicated by Israel’s claim of killing Gen. Ali Shadmani, a top Iranian general who had recently been appointed to a senior role within the Revolutionary Guard. While Iran has not officially commented on Shadmani’s reported death, Israel described him as the most senior military commander in Iran. Shadmani’s predecessor, Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, was also reportedly killed in an Israeli strike.

The conflict has seen significant casualties on both sides. Local authorities in Tel Aviv report that at least 224 people have been killed in Iran. Tehran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israel, resulting in 24 deaths, according to reports.

The heightened tensions have drawn international concern. President Trump, met with his national security team to discuss the escalating conflict and has demanded Iran’s “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER”. The future remains uncertain as both sides continue to trade strikes and threats.
