President Donald Trump has issued explicit threats of massive military strikes against Iran in the event of an assassination attempt, according to a Fox News report.The warning comes after Israeli intelligence allegedly flagged a new Iranian plot targeting the president.Trump stated that orders have been given to the U.S.military to prepare for a 'one-year period...subject to extension' of devastating attacks on Iran, describing it as a response to Tehran's alleged assassination plans.This follows recent tensions between the U.S.and Iran, including Iran's attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and renewed military actions by the United States.Trump also mentioned that he has been 'No.1 on the kill list for Iran' for an extended period, emphasizing the ongoing security risks.

The White House confirmed changes to presidential travel arrangements, moving Trump to an older Air Force One aircraft as a precautionary measure amid heightened threats.Analysts note this escalation comes after Iran's former supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in 2020 by U.S.airstrikes, which has fueled longstanding animosity between the two nations.
