U.S. President Donald Trump said he has instructed the U.S. military to be prepared to launch strikes that would “completely destroy all areas of Iran” if he is assassinated by Tehran.
The remarks come just days after the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where some attendees displayed banners and chanted slogans calling for the assassination of the U.S. president.
“1,000 missiles are aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, and thousands more will immediately follow if the Iranian government acts on its threat to kill, or attempt to kill, the sitting President of the United States of America — in this case, me!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
