New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings yet to Iran, declaring that the United States is prepared to unleash overwhelming military force if Tehran attempts to assassinate him. In a sharply worded statement, Trump said 1,000 missiles were already “locked and loaded” and aimed at Iran, with thousands more ready to follow if any attack against him is carried out.
Trump stated that the US military had already received standing orders to respond decisively to any assassination attempt targeting the sitting American President. He said the military was fully prepared to launch a massive operation capable of inflicting extensive damage across Iran, adding that the directive would remain in effect for one year and could be extended if necessary.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions after reports suggested Israeli intelligence had alerted Washington to an alleged Iranian plot targeting Trump. Intelligence shared with US authorities reportedly pointed to a specific threat, marking the first such warning focused on a direct assassination attempt. American intelligence agencies have also been monitoring what officials describe as a steady flow of information regarding potential threats against the President in recent weeks.
Trump’s latest remarks follow another statement in which he announced that the United States had agreed to continue diplomatic engagement with Iran despite declaring that the ceasefire between the two countries had effectively ended. His comments came after fresh military exchanges over the past two days reignited concerns of a broader regional conflict, only weeks after both sides reached an agreement intended to transform a temporary ceasefire into a lasting peace arrangement.
Despite the renewed tensions and escalating rhetoric, diplomatic efforts appear set to continue. Fresh nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran are expected to take place in Switzerland next week, keeping open the possibility of dialogue even as military threats and geopolitical uncertainty continue to intensify.
