Trump warns US military will ‘destroy all areas of Iran’ in the event he’s assassinated by regime: ‘1,000 Missiles Locked and Loaded’

President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat to “decimate and destroy” Iran should the regime succeed in assassinating him. “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. “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.

“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump told The Post. “… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.” Iran has openly sought the president’s assassination since 2020, when Trump directed the attack that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qasem Soleimani.

Banners vowing revenge against Trump were on full display in Tehran this week as Iranians prepared to bury late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war.  One placard, held by dozens of Khamenei’s sycophants during a burial ceremony Thursday, read, “WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”

Elsewhere, crowds shouted, “I swear by the blood of the Supreme ‌Leader, Trump, ⁠we will kill you!” At the NATO summit in Turkey earlier this week, Trump openly talked about Iran’s desire to kill him.

“They had leaders, they’re gone. Then they had another set of leaders, they’re gone. Now they have another set of leaders — they may be gone, who knows?” Trump said at the summit. “And you know what? I may be gone too. Because I’m their No. 1 target — it’s out all over the place. Because they’re scum.”

“That’s the way they act and that’s the way they’ve done it for 47 years,” he added.
