As RedState’s Ward Clark reported Friday, Donald Trump has instructed the U.S. military to basically wipe out the Islamic Republic of Iran should they succeed in assassinating him.
His statements come on the heels of a Thursday Wall Street Journal report alleging that Israel had informed the U.S. that Iran was mulling a new plot to kill him in retaliation for his 2020 decision to remove bloodthirsty IRGC Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani from the earth. Well, that and Operation Epic Fury, which sent former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to the freezer.
On Friday night, the president got even more specific in a social media post describing exactly what the still-breathing mullahs can expect if they succeed in their murderous fantasy. The United States is “locked and loaded,” he warned:
1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH! President DONALD J. TRUMP

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.
