US President Donald Trump: We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran

United States (US) President Donald Trump is on the wires claiming the US has control of the skies over Iran through his social media platform, Truth Social. Trump declared, "Our patience is wearing thin," while adding he does not want missiles shot at civilians or American soldiers. He also claimed the US has complete control of the Iranian skies.

We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured “stuff.” Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA.

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. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
