President Trump on Friday told The Post he has “left instructions” should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him — and there’ll be hell to pay.

“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” he said. “… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”

Asked about recent reports that Israel this week flagged intel of a plot to take out the US president, Trump indicated there was no fresh plan from Iran — but said Tehran has wanted him dead for years.

“No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” he said. “I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know.”

“I hope you’ll miss me,” he added.

Iran has openly sought the president’s assassination since 2020, when Trump directed the attack that killed Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani.

There have also been multiple foiled assassination plots against Trump since an assassin’s bullet grazed his ear at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.

US-Iran tensions have been supercharged in public this week. During the funeral for the killed supreme leader, Iranian demonstrators unfurled giant banners calling for Trump’s killing.

Trump called off the US-Iran cease-fire and their nascent memorandum of understanding after Iran fired on three ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Monday and Tuesday.

In response, the president removed the US waiver on Iranian oil sanctions and launched nearly 200 strikes across Iran on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The president then swapped planes on his route home from the NATO Summit in Ankara on Wednesday, with the White House later acknowledging it was a security tactic to ensure Trump’s safety after telling reporters that Iran wanted him dead.

“As the President has said recently, there are many enemies of America who have their sights on him, and we use every tool at our disposal— including distraction and misdirection— to address those threats,” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a statement Thursday.

By Friday, Trump said on Truth Social that the US had agreed to continue “talks” with Iran — at Tehran’s request — to pursue a final peace deal, but spelled out to them “in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!”
