Iranian Commanders Threaten Assassination of Trump and Netanyahu

Senior Iranian military officials and commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have declared their intention to assassinate U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These threats emerged following a directive from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who ordered the armed forces to remove geographical restrictions on potential strike targets.

According to the publication C-14, citing Iranian state television, the threats also extend to American military installations in Europe and other global regions. This wave of aggressive rhetoric followed Khamenei's order to expand the scope of operational targets without geographical limitations.

During a state television broadcast, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Kiumars Heidari directly threatened the American and Israeli leaders, stating, "We are determined to kill Trump and Netanyahu while we are alive." He also claimed that U.S. warships had retreated hundreds of kilometers from the Iranian coast.

IRGC Commander Mohammad Reza Naghdi warned that any aggressive actions would result in fatal strikes against the aggressor in various parts of the world. Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei stated that if the U.S. resumes military strikes, Tehran might target American military bases in Europe and on remote islands. Rezaei also demanded that foreign governments cease cooperation with Washington, asserting that Tehran would consider any airbase with American aircraft a legitimate target.

Earlier, in an interview with Al Jazeera, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf indicated that Iran intends to end the "neither war nor peace" state through military deterrence. Ghalibaf mentioned that Washington had not yet responded to Tehran's preliminary conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and continuing dialogue.
