United States President, Donald Trump, has issued a sweeping threat against Iran, warning that the country would face total destruction if any assassination attempt against him succeeds.
Trump made the remarks while responding to a reporter’s question about alleged threats from Iran’s leadership and ongoing unrest in the country.
“There are reports that they are still burning thousands of protesters alive. They also issued an assassination threat against you over the weekend,” the reporter said, asking how Trump viewed Iran’s continued taunts and threats, especially after he recently said it was time for new leadership in Iran.
Responding, Trump said, “Well, they shouldn’t be doing it, but I’ve left notification.”
He escalated his warning shortly after, declaring, “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow; the whole country is going to get blown up.”
Trump also used the opportunity to criticise former President Joe Biden, accusing him of failing to respond firmly to threats.
