President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has directed the U.S. military to stand ready to launch a massive strike against Iran if the Iranian government moves to assassinate him or attempts to do so.
Taking to his Truth Social account, Trump issued a blunt warning: “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!”
The president went further, stating that standing orders have already been given to the armed forces. “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 wrote.
The warning comes amid what Trump described as threats against his life that have been reported across multiple parts of the world.
