US President Donald Trump issued a stern warning to the Tehran administration during a period of ongoing tensions with Iran. Trump stated that if Iran attempted to carry out an assassination against him, his country would respond very strongly and said he had given "instructions that could destroy Iran."
"IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE FOR IRAN"
In an interview with the US-based News Nation channel, Trump emphasized that the consequences of Iran attempting to harm him would be "terrible for Iran."
The US President threatened Iran with "annihilation," stating that a very strong response was necessary in the face of such threats. Trump warned, "If Iran kills me, it would be terrible for them, not for me. If they do this, they will be destroyed. I have already left my instructions in case such a thing happens."
Trump's words raised the risk of rekindling the already high political and military tensions between Iran and the US.
