Speaking to the New York Post, Trump dismissed reports that Israel had recently warned Washington of a fresh threat, saying, “Israel came up with nothing.”
Trump said Iran has considered him its “No. 1” target since the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and warned that he has “left instructions” for a severe military response if an assassination attempt were ever successful.
Iran has repeatedly threatened retaliation against Trump over Soleimani’s killing, and U.S. officials have previously acknowledged ongoing Iranian threats against the president.
WHAT? Yesterday he bragged multiple times at the NATO Summit and on his plane that he was the “#1 target” of Iran. Now this??? He’s realy unhinged.
