President Trump just took to his Truth Social account and declared “complete and total control” of Iranian airspace.
This is a quickly developing situation, and everything from information and equipment seems to be moving at a steadily increasing speed.
At the moment, there are indications that President Trump has indeed decided to take action against Israel.
There are indicators of that eventuality, but not firm declarations at this point.
However, when the President declares control over a nation’s airspace… that’s a fairly sure sign of the direction things are headed.
Here’s the Truth Social post President Trump shared within the last few minutes:
Here is the full text of that text:
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.
I questioned at first if the President’s account had been hacked — just from the sheer shock of seeing that message.
But the White House’s Rapid Reaction account on X also shared the President’s message — validating it’s authenticity:
President Trump is reportedly convening his National Security Council as he ‘seriously weighs’ a strike to take out Iran’s nuclear program, deep under a mountain southwest of Tehran:

One person who purports to understand how President Trump is playing this current situation is none other than Bill O’Reilly.
The President’s strategy is essentially to allow things to play out a little longer, hoping for an Iranian surrender, according to this article by Bill O’Reilly in The Hill:
Conservative political pundit Bill O’Reilly said President Trump wants to see a full surrender from Iran in its ongoing military conflict with Israel over Tehran’s nuclear pursuits and Trump expects that to be how the skirmish ends.
“[Trump] doesn’t want to use American air power at this point — because that would cause some problems with China and [Russia],” O’Reilly said Monday evening on NewsNation’s “On Balance” with host Leland Vittert. “He would rather have the Iranians surrender, which he believes they will.”
“What President Trump’s strategy is, is to play this out a little longer because Israel is getting stronger while Iran is getting weaker,” he added.
“[Trump] believes that the mullahs are through; they will have to sign a deal,” O’Reilly continued. “The deal will be that the weapons inspectors go into all of the places that are working on the nuke, they identify what they have, and then the Iranians themselves, under supervision of the United Nations, would destroy a lot of their arsenal.”
“The mullahs don’t want to do that, obviously, but President Trump believes that will happen,” the former Fox News host added.
Meanwhile, the streets of Tehran are reportedly empty following President Trump’s warning last night that the entire city should be evacuated:

This was the scene overnight, all night long — multitudes flooding out of Tehran.
The people of Tehran seemed willing to take President Trump at his word when he cautioned them to get out of dodge fast:

Scenes of Iranians flooding out of Tehran on the President’s orders followed the warning he issued, presumably sent to his Truth Social account last night from Air Force One while en route back to the White House:
“Iran should have signed the “deal” I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/oniUSgsMWA

The President’s sudden announcement of control of Iranian airspace comes after massive movements of military hardware began flooding towards the region 24 hours ago.
Reports are now surfacing that President Trump has also threatened the ability to take out Iran’s Supreme Leader, according to this report from the Daily Express:
The US president issued a stark new statement on his social media platform saying “we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran” as US war planes reportedly made their way to the Middle East.
Minutes later, he threatened to target the country’s supreme leader, adding: “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!”
One of the largest tell-tale signs that the President might be nearing a decision to engage Iran militarily was the movement of upwards of 24 Air Force refueling tankers that suddenly took off and headed east over the Atlantic.
That is an incredible amount of refueling capacity:
THIS MOVEMENT IS NOT FOR NATO EXERCISE TRIDENT JUNCTION:
The U.S. is now deploying 24 Air Force tankers eastward—an unprecedented surge far beyond any NATO exercise like Trident Juncture.

Here is the full text of that informative post:
THIS MOVEMENT IS NOT FOR NATO EXERCISE TRIDENT JUNCTION:
The U.S. is now deploying 24 Air Force tankers eastward—an unprecedented surge far beyond any NATO exercise like Trident Juncture.
ADVERTISEMENTTrident Juncture 2018 (the largest in recent years):
— The U.S. deployed around 6–8 tankers: KC-135 Stratotankers and KC-10 Extenders, mostly from bases like RAF Mildenhall and Ramstein NOT from US Bases.— Additional tankers are often contributed by NATO partners (e.g., UK, Netherlands, Germany), bringing the total to 10–15 tankers in theater at MOST.
This isn’t routine. These tankers are strategic force multipliers, enabling long-range ops for bombers, fighters, and ISR assets.
If you’re wondering whether something massive is underway—you’re not wrong. MAGA IS TURNING INTO MIGA RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES!
And then yesterday afternoon, Secretary of Defense Hegseth announced the deployment of more equipment to the region under the responsibility of US Central Command:

according to the Daily Mail:
Speculation of a US strike on Iran is mounting today amid reports Donald Trump has sent more than 40 military jets to the UK and Europe, and closer to striking distance of the Middle East – after the US President warned he would accept nothing less than total surrender from Iran.
They are thought to include stealth bombers and air-to-air refuellers – which could be critical for any operation in the Middle East.
US Vice President JD Vance declared Mr Trump may ‘ultimately’ decide to take action after making clear Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and uranium enrichment as he in insisted the President had shown ‘remarkable restraint’ in keeping Americans safe.
Today’s developments have raised expectations that action is imminent, after Mr Trump denied he was interested in securing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran and told residents to evacuate Tehran.
As I am scanning the newsfeeds for updated information, I find that President Trump is now calling for the surrender of the Iranian regime:
This is a developing situation if ever there was one.
But at this point, it seems highly likely that the President has reached a point of decision.
Unless Iran lays down and rolls over, it seems very apparent that an American attack on Iran is imminent.
We will continue to bring you updates as this situation develops.
