Today is day five of Israel and Iran trading deadly fire.
This afternoon,
President Trump got on Truth Social to post some extraordinary threats aimed at Iran.
He called in all caps for Iran's unconditional surrender,
then committed to not kill Iran's supreme leader for now,
before adding, quote, our patience is wearing thin.
Earlier today, Trump had seemed much more optimistic,
saying he was looking for something better than a ceasefire.
Trump hasn't clarified whether the U.S. will get involved in this conflict.
New reports suggest that Israel wants American help in reaching Fordow.
This is a nuclear fuel enrichment plant built deep in a mountain that reportedly only American bombs and bombers can penetrate.
The thing holding Trump back?
A fight within his own MAGA movement over whether America should go to war again.
It's coming up next on Today Explained.
