‘1,000 missiles locked and loaded’: Trump warns Iran amid alleged calls to kill him during Khamenei’s funeral | Today’s news

US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with a new warning on Saturday, a day after the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saw open calls to kill him.

In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “1,000 missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, and thousands more will immediately follow should the Iranian government follow through on its threat, voiced in many corners of the world, to assassinate or attempt to assassinate the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case ME!

He added: “The orders have already been given and the US military is ready, willing and able for one year, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran.”

The US president’s comments came hours after he said he had left instructions for a major military response if Tehran succeeded in assassinating him and warned the Islamic Republic would face unprecedented retaliation. In an interview with the New York Post, he said: “I left instructions – if anything happened, just literally bombard them at levels they had never seen before.”

This is a developing story. Further details were awaited.
