If Iran attempts assassination, ‘they get obliterated’: President Trump
FOX news-Feb4th2025
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday if Iran carries out his assassination, advisers will ensure that country is “obliterated.”
While signing an executive order imposing maximum pressure on Tehran, the president said he left instructions if something were to happen to him.
“That would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said. “If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. … There won’t be anything left
The president said former President Joe Biden “should have said that,” but did not, due to a “lack of intelligence.”
The Justice Department confirmed in November it thwarted an Iranian plot to kill Trump in the weeks leading up to the presidential election.
A criminal complaint filed in September noted an official in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps asked Farhad Shakeri, 51, of Iran, to “focus on surveilling, and, ultimately, assassinating” Trump.
Shakeri immigrated to the United States as a child and was deported about 17 years ago after serving 14 years in prison for a robbery conviction, according to the DOJ.
