US President Donald Trump said he left instructions for the US to retaliate if Iran succeeds in assassinating him, he told the New York Post on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve left instructions, if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they\u2019ve never seen before,\u201d the New York Post cited Trump<\/a> as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no, Israel came up with nothing,\u201d Trump said, adding that he had been Iran\u2019s primary target for \u201ca long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the way life is, you know,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trump previously stated that he had left instructions in the case of his assassination in January of 2025, saying that Iran<\/a> would be \u201cobliterated\u201d if their assassins succeeded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the New York Times cited experts saying that a president cannot leave instructions for military action after his death. All authority would transfer to his successor, the new commander in chief.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump’s claims come as Iranian crowds called for his death<\/a> at the week-long funeral for Iran\u2019s former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.<\/p>\n

\u201cI swear by the blood of the Supreme Leader, Trump, we will kill you!\u201d they shouted, with women holding up placards reading “Kill Trump.”<\/p>\n

The roads leading to the shrine were a sea of black-clad mourners on Thursday, some responding to shouted chants in praise of Khamenei and against Iran’s enemies, including the old revolutionary slogan of “Death to America.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump said he left instructions for the US to retaliate if Iran succeeds in assassinating…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":926616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[9418,69,83,99,50,311807,5961],"class_list":["post-926615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-ayatollah-ali-khamenei","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-trump-assassination-attempt","tag-us-iran"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116898426379316896","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=926615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/926615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=926615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=926615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=926615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
