Trump Says Iran Has Long Put Him First on Kill List

President Donald Trump said Friday that Iran has put him at the top of its assassination target list for years and that he left instructions for massive retaliation if Tehran succeeds. His remarks followed public threats at Ali Khamenei's burial and reports that Israeli intelligence had warned Washington about an Iranian plot, though Trump said he saw no new Israeli-discovered plan and framed the danger as longstanding. Hebrew and international reports also noted his statement that Iran asked to continue talks while he declared the ceasefire over. The sequence places Tehran's assassination threats alongside the renewed U.S.-Iran escalation, the Air Force One security change and the nuclear-talk track shaping Israeli and American coordination this week.
