Trump Says Missiles Are Ready if Iran Targets US President

US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he has ordered the US military to be ready to strike Iran if the Iranian government attempts to assassinate him.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “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 said the necessary orders had already been issued and warned that the US military was fully prepared to respond.

He added, “Orders have already been given, and the US Military is ready, ⁠willing, and able, for a one year period of time, ⁠subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran.”
