Trump Warns Iran of 'Total Obliteration' if President Assassinated

Former U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, stating that the United States would "totally obliterate" the country if it attempted to assassinate the current U.S. president. Trump conveyed this message through a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

Trump declared that 1,000 missiles are currently "locked and loaded" and aimed at Iran. He further threatened that thousands more would be deployed immediately if the Iranian government follows through on its stated intention to harm or kill the sitting U.S. president. This aggressive stance signals a significant escalation in rhetoric between the two nations.
