Trump Issues Warning to Iran Amid Assassination Plot Allegations
Donald Trump stated that the US military is prepared to respond with '1,000 missiles' aimed at Iran if it attempts to assassinate him. This warning follows reports of chants for his assassination during the funeral of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The escalation comes after Israel shared intelligence with the US alleging a new Iranian plot against Trump. US intelligence has been monitoring threats against him, with some officials indicating that the intelligence reflects hardliner intentions rather than a concrete operational plan. Additionally, the US has demanded Iran ensure safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran claims control over, amidst rising tensions following recent attacks on merchant ships.
