President Trump Threatens To Wipe Iran 'Off Face Of This Earth' Over Assassination Threats

United States President, Donald Trump, has issued a sweeping threat against Iran, warning that the country would face total destruction if any assassination attempt against him succeeds.

Trump made the remarks while responding to a reporter’s question about alleged threats from Iran’s leadership and ongoing unrest in the country.

There are reports that they are still burning thousands of protesters alive. They also issued an assassination threat against you over the weekend,” the reporter said, asking how Trump viewed Iran’s continued taunts and threats, especially after he recently said it was time for new leadership in Iran.

Responding, Trump said, “Well, they shouldn’t be doing it, but I’ve left notification.

He escalated his warning shortly after, declaring, “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow; the whole country is going to get blown up.”

Trump also used the opportunity to criticise former President Joe Biden, accusing him of failing to respond firmly to threats.

“So we’ve, you know, originally Biden should have said something. You know, when they made a statement, we always said, why isn’t Biden saying anything? Because he didn’t,” Trump said.

Insisting that leaders must protect one another regardless of political differences, Trump added, “But a President has to defend a President. Like if I were here and they were making that threat to somebody, even not even a President, but somebody like they did with me, I would absolutely hit them so hard.”

Trump concluded by saying he had already issued clear directives on how such a situation should be handled.

But I have very firm instructions,” he said. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

The comments are likely to further inflame tensions around the U.S.–Iran relations, coming amid heightened scrutiny of Iran’s internal repression and its posture toward Western leaders.

President Donald Trump had also called for regime change in Iran following protests that have rocked the country in recent weeks.

“It’s time to look for new leadership in Iran,” Trump told Politico in an interview.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Trump’s remarks.

Trump’s comments come after Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered a defiant address on Saturday in which he accused Trump of encouraging “agitators,” and said that Iran considers Trump “a criminal, both for the casualties, for the damages, and for the slander directed at the Iranian nation.”

He said key agitators had been detained, and the country’s semiofficial Fars news agency said protests had largely subsided.

Trump denounced Khamenei and Iran in his remarks to Politico, calling him “a sick man who should run his country properly and stop killing people.”

I think it's about time Trump is made to settle into an old people's home. Tho, I'm actually enjoying the growing tension between the EU and Trump, and I pray he invades Greenland and that NATO is eventually dismantled.

He already said at Davos he won't take them by force but can you imagine the EU heaving a sigh of relief and then boom, Trump strikes by force. Like a bully in school does grin

Trump is living his own reality game show in the oval office.

He's so unpredictable. And you are very correct. He's like a boy playing with his train dummies 😊

He wants to be unpredictable @Svoboda

Never let them predict your next move.

Unpredictability is power. Power corrupts and you can know when people are drunk with power.

This is what ought to have been done a long time, this is what we desire. But one day, Iran will be completely destroyed, that's certain.

Never a time in history has the president of a nation been so dumb, classless and clueless.

Anyone watching the World Economic Forum? You need to see Trump’s foolishness in daylight.

Dude just rambling and throwing shades! Carney schooled him without one pint of insult or mentioning.

Re: Trump Threatens To Wipe Iran 'Off Face Of This Earth' Over Assassination Threats by temmyyem:
For those reading news about Trump, putin and others, you should know that since it became obvious that covid failed to reduce the world population, world leaders policy has been toward war and more war, some of them are even talking about world war 3.

You should know that all these threat and war will only acheive one thing, population reduction. America, china, europe and the rest claimed that this is the age of information and knowledge, yet the so called world learders lack the basic knowledge to resolve issues without putting the lives of common people that has no involvement in their decision making at risk. Note that there are only two types of people in these world, the rulers and those being ruled, reason they meet at the WEF, UN and others. The lives of the people means nothing to them, in respective of the country. What has the common people of Iran got to do with Trump assassination that they should be wiped out, just like they are wiping out the people of Gaza.

Trump is only telling you that he want to kill the common people of Iran.
