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.

Trump says ceasefire deal with Iran is over

US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is over and Tehran should expect further strikes on Wednesday. He made the comments during an angry broadside at the Nato summit in Ankara. Overnight, the US launched strikes on more than 80 Iranian targets around the strait of Hormuz and revoked a temporary sanctions waiver for Tehran to export oil. The action followed Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels on Tuesday. Iran says eight members of its military were killed, and that, in response, it hit US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. Jon Brain reports.

Under such circumstances, a return to the previous situation seems highly unlikely. The most probable scenario is the continuation of an unstable ceasefire accompanied by limited clashes and reciprocal economic pressure.

President Donald Trump said he believes the 60-day ceasefire with Iran is over, after U.S. warplanes and missiles hit more than 80 targets following attacks from the regime on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump stopped short of ending negotiations with Iran, but said: I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate they're good people — Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner — but they have to come back to me, and as far as I'm concerned it's just a waste of time dealing with them.
