President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat<\/a> to \u201cdecimate and destroy\u201d Iran should the regime succeed in assassinating him. <\/p>\n

\u201c1000 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!\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cOrders 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 \u2013 PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! \u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on their list for a long time. That\u2019s what we\u2019re dealing with,\u201d Trump told The Post. \u201c\u2026 The only thing is, I\u2019ve left instructions \u2014 if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran has openly sought the president\u2019s assassination since 2020, when Trump directed the attack that killed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qasem Soleimani.<\/p>\n

Late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei\u2019s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei,\u00a0threatened\u00a0Trump and the US in a written message Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pledge to avenge the blood of the martyred leader and all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers,\u201d Khamenei said in the message.<\/p>\n

The sequestered younger Khamenei, who was reportedly severely mangled in the airstrike that killed his father on the first day of the war, wrote that it was \u201cthe demand of the nation\u201d to avenge his father\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Banners vowing\u00a0revenge against Trump\u00a0<\/a>were on full display in Tehran this week as Iranians prepared to bury Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

One placard, held by dozens of Khamenei\u2019s sycophants during a burial ceremony Thursday, read, \u201cWE WILL KILL TRUMP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, crowds shouted, \u201cI swear by the\u00a0blood of the Supreme \u200cLeader<\/a>, Trump, \u2060we will kill you!\u201d<\/p>\n

At the NATO summit in Turkey earlier this week, Trump openly talked about Iran\u2019s desire to kill him. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey had leaders, they\u2019re gone. Then they had another set of leaders, they\u2019re gone. Now they have another set of leaders \u2014 they may be gone, who knows?\u201d Trump said at the summit. \u201cAnd you know what? I may be gone too. Because I\u2019m their No. 1 target \u2014 it\u2019s out all over the place. Because they\u2019re scum.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the way they act and that\u2019s the way they\u2019ve done it for 47 years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Trump on Friday night doubled down on his threat to \u201cdecimate and destroy\u201d Iran should the regime…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[43526,153,14670,9,11,10,58],"class_list":["post-293433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-ayatollah-khamenei","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=293433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/293434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=293433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=293433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=293433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
