In a dramatic escalation of words, Donald Trump has reportedly ordered the U.S. military to stand ready to obliterate the Islamic Republic of Iran if they manage to assassinate him, according to a report by Ward Clark from RedState.
These grave remarks were made following a report from the Wall Street Journal, stating that Israel had alerted the U.S. about Iran’s possible plans to retaliate by targeting Trump. This alleged plot is said to be in response to Trump’s action in 2020, which saw the removal of Qassem Soleimani, the notorious commander of the IRGC Quds Force. Additionally, the mission named Operation Epic Fury, which led to the demise of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, former Supreme Leader, was also highlighted.
On Friday evening, in a more precise social media dispatch, Trump revealed the intense repercussions Iran could face should it proceed with such plans. The U.S. stands “locked and loaded,” he cautioned, ready to respond decisively.
Trump’s statement boldly declared that 1,000 missiles are prepared and aimed at Iran, with thousands more set to launch if the Iranian government follows through on its global threat to assassinate him. “Orders have already been given,” he stated, adding that the military is prepared to annihilate Iranian territories for up to a year, with the potential for that timeframe to extend. “PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” he concluded with his usual flair for dramatics.
‘#1 on the Kill List’ — Is That Why Trump Ditched the Brand-New $400M AF1 for NATO Departure?
Pro-regime mourners at the very dead Khamenei’s funeral have been anything but shy about their dreams of inflicting pain on the United States:
Banners vowing revenge against Trump were on full display in Tehran this week as Iranians prepared to bury late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war.
One placard, held by dozens of Khamenei’s sycophants during a burial ceremony Thursday, read, “WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”
Elsewhere, crowds shouted, “I swear by the blood of the Supreme Leader, Trump, we will kill you!”
“WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”

“WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”
That message has been displayed on massive banners and signs as thousands gather for slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s burial ceremony in Iran.
The crowd repeatedly vowed revenge for Khamenei’s death, with signs also threatening Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The threats and calls to avenge Khamenei come after he was killed in Israeli strikes in February, which also reportedly killed several family members and wounded his son, Iran’s current leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.
The Iranian Islamic government is known for its bellicose rhetoric that often isn’t matched by its ability to carry out its threats. That being said, we’ve seen at least three assassination attempts against Trump since 2024, so complacency is not an option.
Trump is well aware of the danger, as he noted at the recently concluded NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey:
“They had leaders, they’re gone. Then they had another set of leaders, they’re gone. Now they have another set of leaders — they may be gone, who knows?” Trump said at the summit. “And you know what? I may be gone too. Because I’m their No. 1 target — it’s out all over the place. Because they’re scum.”
“That’s the way they act and that’s the way they’ve done it for 47 years,” he added.
“PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” the president wrote at the end of his Friday night post in a clear troll aimed at Iran’s embattled leadership. Whoever is in control over there right now, though, doesn’t seem to be listening to threats, and they keep violating the terms of the “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) and heightening tensions with their continued attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Hopefully, it won’t take 1,000 missiles — with “thousands of more to immediately follow” — to convince them that their days of terrorizing the world are over. But if that’s what’s needed in the end, that’s exactly what Trump is vowing to deliver.
Editor’s Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
