Donald Trump has warned Iran of massive military retaliation, claiming he has authorized the potential bombardment of the country should Iranian authorities attempt to assassinate him.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump has publicly threatened Iran with total destruction, stating that thousands of missiles are targeted and ready for immediate launch. He warned that this response would be triggered if the Iranian government acts on threats to target the U.S. president.<\/p>\n
In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump stated that orders have already been issued for the U.S. military to be ready to decimate all areas of Iran for a period of one year, a duration subject to extension.<\/p>\n
The warnings follow reports that Israel alerted Trump to an alleged new assassination plot against him. While the credibility of these warnings was questioned, they led the White House to prioritize the use of a more secure, older Air Force One aircraft for the president’s return from a NATO summit.<\/p>\n
Trump dismissed claims that Israel was the primary source of the information, clarifying that he has been a target of Iranian hostility for a long time. He noted that he chose the older aircraft to allow soldiers at a British base to inspect the newer plane.<\/p>\n
Trump previously indicated that he has left explicit instructions for the military to bomb Iran on an unprecedented scale if any harm comes to him. These tensions trace back to the aftermath of his first term and the U.S. strike that killed General Qasem Soleimani.<\/p>\n
U.S. intelligence agencies have previously uncovered and thwarted alleged plots targeting former Trump administration officials, including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, as part of suspected Iranian retaliation efforts.<\/p>\n
