Trump says he’d wipe Iran off the map if it tries to assassinate him, citing strong orders to respond decisively.

Donald Trump warned that if Iran attempts to assassinate him, he would authorize a military strike that could "wipe it off the face of this Earth," citing "very firm instructions" to respond decisively. Speaking in an interview, he criticized former President Joe Biden's handling of Iranian threats and emphasized the need for a strong defense of the presidency. Trump said he remains in discussions with aides about potential "decisive" military actions aimed at preventing prolonged conflict. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, including regional instability and concerns over Iran's nuclear program, though no specific threat to Trump's safety has been confirmed by U.S. officials.
