Donald Trump fears assassination. He said yesterday that he has “left instructions” for the United States to respond with overwhelming military force if Iran were to succeed in assassinating him. “I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump told The New York Post on Friday. Never mind that Trump has been killing Iranians since at least 2020.
“The only thing is, I’ve left instructions—if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before,” he added.
A report carried in The Wall Street Journal on July 9 points to the possible trigger of the recent actions by Trump, claiming that Israel shared intelligence with the US about a new Iranian plot to assassinate Trump, which, according to WSJ, “would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.”
