Iran issued a grisly threat against President Trump on Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander-in-chief during the 2024 Butler, Pa., rally assassination attempt — with the words “This time it will not miss the target,” The New York Post reported. The warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV and marks Tehran’s most direct threat yet against Trump, following his repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters, the newspaper also wrote.

President Trump has repeatedly threatened to intervene in support of protesters in Iran, where thousands are reported to have been killed in a brutal crackdown on demonstrations against clerical rule.

It will certainly help in creating a real understanding of Iran’s will and capability to respond to any aggression. »
