Trump threatens Iran with destruction

Newly elected US President Donald Trump stated that he has issued clear instructions on how to respond to any potential assassination attempt on his life.

Readiness for retaliation

«Если они осмелятся на это, их ждет полное уничтожение. Я оставил инструкции: если это произойдет, от них ничего не останется», — заявил Трамп во время общения с журналистами. (If they dare to do it, they will face total destruction. I have left instructions: if this happens, nothing will be left of them), Trump said while speaking to journalists.

Context of the threat

These remarks came against the backdrop of tensions in international relations, where the US and Iran continue to remain in a state of confrontation. The president's sharp statements may be viewed as a signal of readiness for harsh action in the event of a conflict escalation.
