Trump warns Iran of severe consequences over alleged assassination threat
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran would face devastating consequences if Tehran were to orchestrate an attempt on his life, responding to remarks attributed to a senior Iranian military official.
In an interview broadcast by News Nation, Trump stated that he had issued clear instructions and warned that any such act would trigger an overwhelming response. His comments followed statements earlier in the day by Iranian General Abolfazl Shekarchi, who warned that any harm to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would be met with retaliation.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained high amid renewed rhetoric and mutual accusations. Trump has repeatedly signaled a readiness to use military force, particularly in response to Iran’s internal repression and broader regional activities.
This is not the first time Trump has issued such warnings. Shortly after returning to the White House, he had already cautioned that Iran would face extreme consequences if any attempt were made on his life.
The latest exchange underscores the fragile state of US-Iran relations and raises concerns about further escalation in an already volatile regional environment.
