President Donald Trump warns that the United States would “completely decimate and destroy” Iran if Iranian leaders attempt or carry out an assassination of him, according to reports from Bloomberg and France 24. In a statement posted on his Truth Social account, Trump says orders have already been given and that the U.S. military is ready to respond. France 24 reports that Trump frames the warning as applying for a “one year” period, which he notes could be extended. The statement links the potential U.S. response to whether Iran attempts or succeeds in assassinating the sitting U.S. president. Bloomberg similarly reports Trump’s claim that U.S. forces would “completely decimate and destroy all areas” of Iran in the event of such an attack. Both sources characterize the remarks as a direct threat connected to an alleged assassination plan, without providing additional details about the plot or evidence in the cited accounts. The reports describe the warning as coming from Trump’s social media post and emphasize the stated readiness of the U.S. military.
