Trump orders unprecedented strike against Iran if he is assassinated

U.S. President Donald Trump said he had left instructions to strike Iran with unprecedented force if Tehran succeeds in implementing plans to kill him.

"I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with. The only thing is, I’ve left instructions - if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before," Trump said.

He said in an interview with the New York Post that Iran has allegedly been trying to kill him for many years. According to Trump, recent reports that Israel has warned Washington about a new plot against him are not true, however, he has long been the number one target for Tehran.

The U.S. leader also said that Washington has agreed to continue peace talks with Iran at Tehran’s request, but warns it that the ceasefire is over.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the cease fire is over!" Trump said.
