"We know exactly where the so-called “Supreme Leader” is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

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