U.S. President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest deterrence messages yet toward Iran, warning of overwhelming retaliation if any assassination attempt linked to Tehran targets him or U.S. interests. Speaking during a nationally televised interview, Trump made it clear that any act of aggression would be met with a response designed to completely neutralize the threat. The warning comes amid rising tensions after Iranian officials cautioned against any actions directed at Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran’s armed forces swiftly responded, with senior commanders delivering a stark counter-warning, vowing severe consequences for any move against their leadership. WATCH
