The Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has threatened Iran, after reports that they are preparing a plot against him. He warned Iran that if they do this, America will wipe them off the face of the earth.
"If they do 'kill President Trump,' which is always a possibility, I hope America wipes Iran out, wipes it off the face of the earth." If this does not happen, American leaders will be considered cowards 'without guts'! Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Trump made the comments alongside a short video of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highlighting alleged Iranian plots against Trump in his address to the US Congress on Wednesday.
"As we recently learned, they even brazenly threatened to kill President Trump," Netanyahu said.
US media reported last week that the US Secret Service had increased security for Trump weeks ago after authorities learned of an Iranian plot to kill him, although it was unrelated to the latest assassination attempt on him, in which a 20- year-old American shot a gun. shooting during a campaign rally.
CNN reported that US authorities received intelligence from a "human source" on a plan by Tehran to target the former president, prompting increased protection for Trump. Other US media also reported the plot.
The plot was unrelated to the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, slightly wounding Trump and killing a rally attendee, they said.
Relations between Washington and Iran have long been strained and reached breaking point after Tehran sought revenge for the 2020 killing of Revolutionary Guard commander Qasem Soleimani, ordered by Trump when he was president.
The US National Security Council said it had "followed Iranian threats against former Trump administration officials for years".
Trump's post recalled a controversial episode in 2019 when, as president, he threatened to "disappear" Iran if the country launched an attack on "anything American."
The confrontation came after Iranian officials said the path to diplomacy between the two nations was permanently closed after Trump imposed new sanctions on the regime.
As president, he also threatened North Korea with "fire and fury like the world has never seen", although he later befriended the reclusive country's dictator, Kim Jong Un, and often referred to their "love".
