Donald Trump leaves chilling revenge instructions for if Iran assassinates him
The US has agreed to resume talks with Iran after the two parties traded strikes this week. US President Donald Trump reiterated claims earlier this week the 60-day ceasefire is over. President Trump’s decision to pursue peace comes even after the Israelis reportedly warned US officials of a new Iranian plot to assassinate him. President Trump spoke candidly about that threat numerous times this week and revealed to the New York Post the instructions he left in the event Iran succeeds in killing him. “If anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before,” he said.
