Following public calls for his assassination at the funeral of Iran’s late supreme leader, and after Israel reportedly informed the US of an active Iranian plot to kill him, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he had ordered the military to prepare massive missile strikes against Iran if the government attempts to assassinate him. The warning came amid heightened hostilities, including US airstrikes on several Iranian provinces and retaliatory attacks, though diplomatic talks brokered by Qatar and others continue. Trump stated the existing ceasefire was void but indicated negotiations were still underway, while Iranian officials vowed they would not surrender.
