Meanwhile, Trump stated his patience had run out but did not indicate any specific next steps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" data-start=\"1029\" data-end=\"1315\">Speaking at the White House, Trump said: \u201cUnconditional surrender \u2014 I\u2019m tired of this.\u201d When asked about Khamenei\u2019s rejection of his demand, Trump simply replied, \u201cGood luck.\u201d He added that he had encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue operations against Iran.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\" data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1687\">In a televised speech \u2014 his first public appearance since Friday \u2014 Khamenei (age 86) lashed out at Trump, stating: \u201cAmericans must know that any U.S. military intervention will undoubtedly result in irreparable harm.\u201d He added, \u201cThose who understand Iran, its people, and its history never speak the language of threats, because the Iranian people will never surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" data-start=\"1689\" data-end=\"2175\">A source familiar with internal U.S. discussions said Trump and his team were evaluating options, including joining Israel in attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, speaking before a Senate committee, said the Pentagon was prepared to carry out any order Trump might issue, hinting that U.S. involvement could become clearer in the coming days. However, Hegseth was notably cautious and refused to confirm active preparations for strikes on Iran.<\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full\" dir=\"auto\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-4\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto py-5 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @[37rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @[72rem]:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:32rem] @[34rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @[64rem]:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto flex max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 text-base gap-4 md:gap-5 lg:gap-6 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"group\/conversation-turn relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\">\n<div class=\"relative flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"c0bd0ba5-26b8-4eae-80a2-6b86e250d579\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-4o\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"86\">Iran Fires Hypersonic Missiles as War of Words with Trump Escalates<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-center\">Iran\u2019s mission to the United Nations mocked Trump on X, posting: \u201cIran does not negotiate under pressure, nor will it accept peace through coercion \u2014 especially not from a warmonger craving the spotlight.\u201d They added, \u201cNo Iranian official has ever begged outside the White House.
