Trump pledges to wipe Iran off the map if they kill him.
In a surprising twist, the newly elected President Donald Trump announced that Iran would face complete destruction if it ever tried to kill him.
Talking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said that he had given his advisers specific orders to obliterate the Iranian regime should such an act take place.
“If they did that, they would be obliterated,” Trump said while signing an executive order aimed at intensifying U.S. pressure on Iran. “There won’t be anything left.”
This warning follows years of high concern within federal agencies about Iranian threats against Trump and other top officials from his administration.
It is important to mention here that Trump ordered the 2020 drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani, the leader of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Recent reports have claimed that Iranian officials have been planning attacks on Trump, including a foiled attempt to kill him before the 2020 election.
The Justice Department revealed in November that Iranian agents had tried to recruit a criminal network to track and ultimately assassinate the former president.
One such figure, Farhad Shakeri, is still at large in Iran.
The Iranian government denied these allegations, rejecting them as part of a conspiracy to damage relations between the U.S. and Iran.
US authorities have been monitoring Iranian plots for years.
A threat from Tehran led to increased security around Trump before a Pennsylvania rally in July, where he was reportedly injured in an attempted assassination.
However, no direct links to Iran were found in the attack.
Trump also recently revoked security protection for former U.S. officials Mike Pompeo, Brian Hook, and John Bolton—individuals who, like Trump, have been vocal in their opposition to Iran.
They have faced threats from Iranian entities due to their hardline stance during Trump’s presidency.
Donald John Trump is an American politician, media personality, and businessman serving as the 47th president of the United States since January 2025. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.
