Trump threatens to ‘decimate’ Iran if it tries to kill him

President Donald Trump threatened to “destroy and destroy” Iran if Tehran threatens to assassinate him, after the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on an alleged Iranian financier.

Iran said on Saturday that the new fiscal measure was a violation of a preliminary agreement the two warring countries reached last month when their foreign ministers reportedly arrived in Oman for talks.

“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and are aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, and if the Government of Iran follows through on the threat made in many corners of the world to assassinate or attempt to assassinate the President of the United States, in this case me, there are thousands of missiles to follow immediately!” Trump wrote at Truth Social Late Friday US time.

“Orders have already been given and the U.S. Military is ready, willing and able to completely destroy and destroy all parts of Iran for an extended one-year period – THANK GOD!” he added.

Wall Street Magazine and other US media reported earlier this week that Israel shared intelligence about Iran’s alleged plans to assassinate Trump.

According to Reuters, some of those who attended the funeral ceremony on Thursday of Iran’s religious leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a US airstrike early in the war, carried banners saying “We Will Kill Trump”.

The US President’s latest verbal barrage came after a day of relative calm following a week of fighting and fears that a fragile ceasefire could be about to collapse.

Trump said early Friday that the United States and Iran agreed to continue peace talks despite the cancellation of a ceasefire established in a preliminary agreement last month.

One Real Social postTrump claimed that the Islamic Republic “asked us to continue ‘talks'” and “we agreed to do so.”

“But the USA clearly stated to them that the ceasefire has ended!” Trump wrote.

The US military has launched new offensive attacks against Iran in retaliation for the attack on three commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The US Treasury Department later withdrew the exemption that allowed Iran to sell its oil.

The Treasury then increased pressure on Iran by imposing sanctions against a financier it accused of aiding new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late leader Ali Khamenei.

“Following the resumption of Iran’s attacks on international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action against Iranian financial facilitator Ali Ansari (Ansari), who oversees a sprawling global network of entities that benefit Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei and other regime elites,” the department said. he said. expression.

In his statement, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was quoted as saying, “The so-called Religious Leader is in seclusion while his regime collapses.” “The Treasury will continue to use every tool at its disposal to isolate itself and other regime elites from the global financial system. We will protect these assets for the Iranian people.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that this move was a violation of the memorandum of understanding signed between the USA and Iran in June.

“Iran has kept its promise so far, unlike the so-called US Treasury Secretary who violated paragraph 9 of the MoU.” Araghchi said in a post on X:.

“This violation follows other violations and missteps by the United States. Reality check: There can only be mutual compliance,” he added.

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported that Araghchi arrived in Oman for talks early Saturday. Oman has been an important mediator in efforts to end the war.
