BREAKING: Donald Trump Says US Will Launch 1000 Missiles On Iran If He Is Assassinated
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has warned that Iran would face overwhelming military retaliation if it attempted to assassinate him, saying the US military had already received orders to launch a devastating response in the event of any such attack.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Trump issued the warning on Friday in a post on his Truth Social platform, where he claimed the United States had prepared an extensive military response against the Islamic Republic.
The latest threat came barely 24 hours after the US president agreed to continue negotiations with Tehran, despite insisting that the ceasefire reached between both countries was no longer in effect.
The renewed exchange of threats has further strained relations between Washington and Tehran, raising fresh concerns over the future of the fragile peace process initiated only weeks ago.
In his post, Trump said the United States had positioned military assets capable of inflicting massive destruction on Iran should the country attempt to assassinate the American president.
“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 added, “Orders have already been given, and the U.S. 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.”
Trump’s comments marked one of his strongest warnings against Tehran since the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at de-escalating months of hostilities and laying the groundwork for a broader peace agreement.
President Insists Ceasefire Is Over
Despite agreeing to pursue further negotiations with Iran, Trump maintained that the ceasefire between both countries had effectively ended.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!” he wrote on Truth Social.
Earlier this week, while attending the NATO summit, Trump also dismissed the truce, describing continued engagement with Tehran as unproductive.
“It’s just a waste of time dealing with them,” he said.
His latest remarks came after a fresh exchange of strikes between both countries this week, an incident that shook the already fragile agreement intended to transform months of ceasefire into a lasting peace and avert a broader regional conflict.
Iran Says It Honoured Agreement
Iran, however, rejected Trump’s claims, insisting it had fully complied with the ceasefire agreement and accusing Washington of violating the memorandum of understanding.
Speaking on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran had remained committed to the agreement while the United States had failed to honour its own obligations.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has so far kept its word, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who is violating Para 9 of the MoU,” Araghchi said.
He explained that Paragraph Nine of the memorandum required Iran to maintain the current status of its nuclear programme while the United States agreed not to impose new sanctions or deploy additional military forces in the region pending a comprehensive agreement.
“That violation follows other violations and missteps by the United States. Reality check: There can only be mutual compliance,” the Iranian foreign minister added.
Although rhetoric between both governments has intensified, diplomatic contacts have not been completely suspended.
According to Iranian media reports, a delegation from Qatar, which has been mediating between Washington and Tehran, arrived in the Iranian capital after the latest exchange of attacks.
There have been no direct talks between the United States and Iran since last month, although officials from both countries previously held one round of face-to-face negotiations in Switzerland following the signing of the memorandum of understanding.
The two sides have also participated in indirect negotiations in Qatar, but those discussions have yet to produce any significant diplomatic breakthrough.
The latest war of words underscores the growing uncertainty surrounding the peace process, with both countries accusing each other of violating the terms of the agreement even as mediators continue efforts to keep dialogue alive and prevent another escalation of military conflict in the Middle East.
