President Donald Trump announced that the United States and its allies have achieved full control of Iranian airspace, a strategic turning point in the escalating conflict. Speaking shortly after cutting his trip to the G7 summit short, Trump made the announcement aboard Air Force One en route back to Washington.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran,” he said. “American and Israeli pilots are flying freely. Iran can’t stop us. They know it, and we know it.”
The president credited advanced U.S. technology and precision coordination with Israeli forces for neutralizing Iran’s air defenses. He revealed that American intelligence is tracking all major regime targets—including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s movements—and that further action remains on the table.
“We’re not going to take him out—at least not right now,” Trump added. “But we could. And he knows that.”
The statement came just hours after Iran launched another wave of missile attacks, some of which reportedly targeted civilian areas and American assets. Trump responded with a warning: “Stop launching missiles, stop targeting civilians, and stop threatening our soldiers. Our patience is not unlimited. Surrender unconditionally, or face consequences.”
Trump’s early exit from the G7 summit underscored the urgency. Instead of attending final sessions with world leaders, he boarded Air Force One to focus squarely on the growing confrontation with Tehran. The move sent a clear message: the Iran situation is now the top priority for the White House.
As of now, American and Israeli warplanes are operating without resistance. Key Iranian infrastructure has been degraded. And the skies above Iran—once a source of bluster from Tehran—now belong to Trump’s coalition.
The message is unmistakable: Tehran has lost control of its own airspace. Whether it surrenders or escalates further will determine what comes next.
