Trump Reveals Military Orders If Iran Assassination Attempt Succeeds

Former U.S. President Donald Trump disclosed in a New York Post interview that he has prepared for the possibility of an assassination attempt by Iran. He stated that he left explicit instructions for an "unprecedented military response" if such an attack occurs, warning that Iran would pay a "heavy price". Trump said, "I have been on their list for a long time," and emphasized that his orders are to "bomb them at levels they have never seen before."

When asked about recent reports that Israel had warned the U.S. of a new Iranian plot to kill him, Trump dismissed the claims, saying, "No, no. Israel did not bring anything up." He acknowledged that Iran's hostility toward him is longstanding, dating back to 2020 when he authorized the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

Trump also referenced past assassination attempts, including one in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, when a bullet struck his ear during a campaign rally. Tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated recently during the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where Iranian protesters displayed signs calling for Trump's death, including one held by a child stating, "We will kill Trump."

Trump concluded the interview with a sardonic remark, "I hope the public will miss me." His comments highlight ongoing threats and the fraught relations between the U.S. and Iran amid continuing security concerns.
