image for Trump weighs three military options as Iranian Supreme Leader declares 'the battle begins' and warns Israel about 'great surprise… that the world will remember for centuries'

Khamenei also shared a separate message in English, saying: 'We must give a strong response to the terrorist Zionist regime.'.

Meanwhile, Iranian state television ominously reported that 'tonight, a great surprise will occur - one that the world will remember for centuries.'.

He said the US knows where the Supreme Leader is hiding out, but doesn't want him killed 'for now.'.

Vice President JD Vance has since issued comments that appear to brace Trump supporters for possible military action.

Vance also praised Trump for taking 'remarkable restraint' in focusing American troops on the defense of American interests in the Middle East. »
