New York, June 18 (UNI) "We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran," US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.

"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," Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump left the G7 summit in Canada late Monday, one day earlier than expected, as Israel and Iran traded missile strikes.

Trump said earlier on Tuesday he was seeking "a real end" to the conflict instead of "a ceasefire". He also said on his social media platform that the United States knows where Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding, calling him an "easy target" and urging an "unconditional surrender" by Iran.

"I think they know not to touch our troops," Trump said of Iran, warning the United States would be "gloves off" in its response.

Trump said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that the United States was not involved in Israel's military strikes against Iran, but "it's possible we could get involved".

Israel had urged the United States to join the conflict with Iran to eliminate Iran's nuclear program, local media reported.
