Trump Declares 1,000 Missiles Ready to Strike Iran if Assassination Attempt Occurs

On Saturday, former US President Donald Trump announced that 1,000 missiles are ready to be launched at Iran if any attempt is made on his life. He affirmed that the US military possesses the capability to completely destroy Iranian territory within one year.

Trump said, "The missiles are ready to launch and aimed at Iran, and thousands more will follow immediately if their government moves to carry out its threat." He added, "1,000 missiles are prepared to strike Iran if it attempts or initiates an assassination against me."

He emphasized that "orders have already been issued, and the US military is prepared and capable of fully destroying all areas of Iran within a one-year period, which can be extended."

US Intelligence and Israeli Reports on Iranian Threats

These statements come as a report from the American network CNN indicated that there is no imminent Iranian plan to assassinate Trump despite escalating threats. The Israeli warning is based on assessments regarding the intentions of leaders in Tehran.

According to the report, intelligence sources revealed that information shared by Israel with the United States about possible Iranian threats against Trump suggests that some hardline factions in Tehran desire to target him. However, there is no concrete operational plan to carry out such an attack.

US intelligence estimates suggest that Israel is attempting to influence the US administration’s stance by intensifying the sharing of intelligence, although some intelligence circles express reservations about the motivations behind these reports.

Context of US-Iran Ceasefire and Diplomatic Talks

Earlier, Trump stated that Iran had requested to continue "talks," and Washington had agreed. Nonetheless, he stressed that the US made clear to Tehran that the ceasefire period had "ended."

The ceasefire between the two countries was implemented in June through Pakistani-Qatari mediation but has remained fragile amid disagreements over the interpretation and implementation of its terms, particularly concerning navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
