🇺🇸🇮🇷 PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Iran assassinating me would be terrible for them, not me. If they did that, they’d be obliterated.”
“I already left instructions if that happens.”

In a forceful warning directed at Tehran, Donald Trump said that any attempt by Iran to assassinate him would trigger devastating consequences.

“Iran assassinating me would be terrible for them, not me. If they did that, they’d be obliterated,” Trump stated, underscoring what he described as standing directives already in place. “I already left instructions if that happens,” he added, without elaborating on the nature of those plans.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, as both nations continue to clash over regional security, nuclear policy, and sanctions. U.S. officials in recent years have warned of potential threats against current and former American leaders, particularly following the 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani.

Trump’s comments reflect his longstanding hardline stance toward Iran, signaling that any direct attack on a U.S. political figure would be met with overwhelming retaliation. Iranian officials have repeatedly denied pursuing assassination plots, while condemning past U.S. actions in the region.

The exchange adds another layer of strain to an already volatile relationship between the two countries.
