‘I Have Very Firm Instructions’: Trump Makes Clear What Happens To Iran If He’s Assassinated

In an interview broadcast Tuesday night, President Donald Trump told NewsNation host Katie Pavlich that he left instructions to wipe Iran “off the face of this earth” if he’s assassinated.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted multiple threats against Trump on social media, including depicting the president in a coffin. Trump said during the episode of “Katie Pavlich Tonight” that a violent death at the hands of an assassin would bring dire consequences to the theocratic regime.

“They shouldn’t be doing it, but I’ve left notification. Anything ever happens, the whole country is going to get blown up,” Trump told Pavlich. “Originally, Biden should have said something, when they made a statement. We always said, ‘Why isn’t Biden saying anything?’ Because he didn’t.”

“But a president has to defend a president. If I were here, and they were making that threat to somebody, even, not even a president, but somebody, like they did with me, I would absolutely hit them so hard,” Trump said. “But I have very firm instructions — anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Biden’s Justice Department announced the indictment of a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on charges of conspiring to kill former National Security Advisor John Bolton in 2022, saying that a confidential source was offered $300,000 to carry out the assassination.
