Trump promises 'unprecedented bombing' in response to Iran assassination threat

U.S. President Donald Trump issued a harsh statement against Iran, announcing that he would retaliate if the Tehran administration had a plot to assassinate him. Speaking to the New York Post, Trump said he had given instructions to bomb Iran 'at a level never seen before' in such a scenario.

Iran's Alleged Target List

Trump, claiming he has long been on Iran's target list, said that the cost of an assassination attempt would be 'very heavy.' The former president, commenting on reports that Israel had received intelligence this week about a plot to assassinate him, asserted that Iran had no new plan but that he had been at the 'top' of Tehran's death list for years.

After the Soleimani Assassination

The report notes that after the U.S. killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020, the Tehran administration put Trump on its target list. This event had significantly escalated tensions between the two countries.

Tension in the Strait of Hormuz

Trump's remarks came after the mutual clashes in the Strait of Hormuz this week. The military activity in the region shows that tensions between the U.S. and Iran are rising again, increasing international concerns.
