US President Donald Trump said Friday that he has “left instructions” for an unprecedented bombing campaign of Iran if Tehran succeeds in their attempts to assassinate him.
“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” Trump told the New York Post.
“The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”
The statements come after reports that ‘Israel’ informed the US of new Iranian plots to assassinate Trump.
“No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” Trump said when asked about the reports.
“I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know.”
“I hope you’ll miss me,” he added.
