US President Donald Trump has issued a blunt warning to Iran, saying that any threat to his life would trigger devastating consequences for the Islamic Republic. His remarks came after a NewsNation anchor mentioned alleged threats originating from Tehran, prompting Trump to outline what he described as a zero-tolerance stance.

According to Trump, Iran should not even consider such actions. He stressed that clear instructions were already in place and that any attempt on his life would lead to the complete destruction of the country. In his framing, there would be no room for hesitation or proportional response-any such incident would be met with overwhelming force.

Trump also used the moment to attack the record of his predecessor, Joe Biden, accusing him of excessive leniency toward Iran. He said he could not understand why Biden, in his view, chose to ignore or downplay threats from Tehran. Trump argued that he would have treated similar signals as grounds for an immediate strike, adding that this logic would apply even if the target were not the president but any individual.

The exchange unfolded against a backdrop of escalating rhetoric. A week earlier, the speaker of Iran’s Majlis, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, had warned that Tehran was prepared to teach Trump an «unforgettable lesson» should he decide to launch an attack on the Islamic Republic.
