Trump Orders 'Merciless' Bombing of Iran if Assassinated

Former U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that he has issued direct orders for severe retaliation should Iran attempt to assassinate him. In a statement to The New York Post, Trump warned Tehran of "terrible consequences" and vowed to "bomb them to a level they have never seen before" if any assassination plot against him were to succeed.

“

I've given instructions, if they murder me, 'bomb them without mercy.'

Trump acknowledged that he has been on Iran's target list for a considerable time. "I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we deal with," he remarked, highlighting the ongoing nature of the threat. He specifically mentioned that his directive was to initiate bombing campaigns against Iran if any harm were to come to him.

“

I've been on their list for a long time. That's what we deal with.

Responding to reports that Israel had shared intelligence with Washington regarding an assassination plot, Trump downplayed the novelty of the information. He stated that while Israel had not uncovered anything new, Iran's intent to kill him has persisted for years. "I'm number 1 (on Iran's list for elimination) for a long time and that's the way life is," he said.

“

The only thing I've done is leave instructions, if anything happens, to bomb them to a level they have never seen before.

The Iranian regime has publicly stated its objective to assassinate the U.S. president since 2020, the year Trump authorized the drone strike that killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani. Trump himself survived an assassination attempt on July 13, 2024, when a bullet grazed his ear during a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

No, no. Israel didn't find anything. No, no.
