White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that what US President Donald Trump meant when he earlier today demanded Iran’s unconditional surrender, “is when he — as commander-in-chief of the US military and the leader of the free world — determines that Iran can no longer pose a threat to the United States.”
