Trump recently revealed how he would respond if Iran or anyone acting on its behalf attempted to carry out an assassination.
In a lengthy Truth Social post shared on July 10, the president claimed the U.S. military was already prepared to launch a devastating retaliation against the Islamic Republic if such a scenario unfolded.
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!” Trump wrote.
He went on to claim military orders had already been issued, adding the United States was “ready, willing, and able” to wage a sustained campaign that would “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” for up to one year, with the option to extend the operation if necessary.
Trump concluded the post, writing, “PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” before signing off with, “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
