US chair Donald ruff has threatened to “ destruct” Iran should its government attempt to assassinate him.
The US and Israel killed dozens of senior Iranian officials and military commanders during their bombing campaign, including the country’s longtime supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a targeted strike on his compound in Tehran on February 28.
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.
“Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” he added.
Iranian officials have made no public threats against Trump’s life. At the same time, people attending funeral processions for Khamenei this week were filmed carrying placards reading “Kill Trump” and chanting calls for “revenge.”
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that Israel had warned the US about an alleged Iranian plot to kill Trump but provided no further details.
Trump has ramped up his rhetoric against Iran in recent days, labeling its leadership “scum.” He also said he considered the ceasefire with Iran to be “over,” as the US carried out strikes on Iran on Wednesday and Thursday in response to attacks on commercial ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz.
