Trump Warns Iran of Retaliation if Assassination Attempt Occurs Amid Rising Tensions

US President Donald Trump warned that the US would 'wipe out' Iran if it assassinates him, stating he has given firm instructions for such retaliation. This threat follows Trump's calls for regime change and criticism of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In response, Iran's armed forces spokesperson General Abolfazl Shekarchi warned that any aggression toward Khamenei would be met with severe retaliation, including setting the US 'world on fire.' These exchanges occur amid ongoing protests and unrest in Iran, with significant casualties reported.
