President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his warning to “decimate and destroy” Iran if the regime were to succeed in an assassination attempt against 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 stated 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.

Iran vows avenge since General Qasem Soleimani’s death
Since 2020, Iran has openly sought the assassination of the president in response to Trump’s directive for the strike that led to the death of General Qasem Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
On Saturday, Mojtaba Khamenei, the son and designated successor of the late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a written threat directed at Trump and the United States.
“We pledge to avenge the blood of the martyred leader and all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers,” Khamenei stated in a message.
The isolated younger Khamenei, who was allegedly gravely injured in the airstrike that took his father’s life on the war’s inaugural day, expressed that it was the nation’s demand to seek retribution for his father’s demise.
This week in Tehran, banners proclaiming vengeance against Trump were prominently exhibited as Iranians made preparations for the burial of Ali Khamenei.
One sign, carried by numerous supporters of Khamenei during the burial ceremony on Thursday, stated, “WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”
