Trump Reveals Military Response Plans 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. Trump stated that if Iran were to succeed in killing him, they would face an "unprecedented military response". He explained that he left explicit instructions to "bomb them at levels they have never seen before" in retaliation.

Trump expressed skepticism about recent reports claiming Israel warned the U.S. of a new Iranian plot against him, denying any such specific intelligence was shared. He emphasized that Iran’s hostility toward him is longstanding, dating back to his 2020 order to kill Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

The interview comes amid heightened tensions following the funeral of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where protesters displayed signs calling for Trump’s death, including one held by a child. Trump also referenced previous assassination attempts, including a July 13, 2024, incident in Pennsylvania where a bullet struck his ear during a campaign rally.

Trump concluded with a sardonic remark hoping the public would miss him, underscoring the ongoing animosity between him and Tehran. The revelations highlight the persistent security threats Trump faces from Iran and the readiness for severe military retaliation if attacked.
