Trump Touts ‘Total Control’ of Iranian Airspace, Says U.S. Knows Where Ayatollah ‘Is Hiding’

"President Donald Trump announced, “We now have complete and total control” of Iranian
airspace and that the U.S. knows “exactly where” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “is hiding.
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,'” Trump wrote.
Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” he added.
Trump then said the United States knows where Khamenei is located." Breitbart

"Anti-Israel activists clashed with Egyptian authorities and fed-up locals during a doomed
attempted march to the border of the Gaza Strip by a disorderly rabble of protesters.
Naive demonstrators taking part in a sit-in at a checkpoint outside the city of Ismailia, some 130 miles from the Rafah border crossing into the Palestinian territories, fought with both cops and
Egyptian locals on Friday and Saturday, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Footage over the weekend showed activists wearing keffiyehs — the checkered calling-card of the pro-Palestinian cause — clashing with fed-up
Egyptian locals, some of whom could be seen hurling clubs and water bottles at the hapless protesters.
Frustrated
Egyptians, some little more than children, could be seen pulling the activists off the road as they staged a sit-down at the checkpoint.
One clip showed “free Palestine”-chanting activists — who were waving several different countries’ flags — being attacked by what they claimed were plain-clothes officers." NYP
