There’s never been, in the war with Iran over its long-confirmed insistence that it will obtain nuclear weapons to threaten, even destroy, other nations, a shortage of rhetoric.
But it may have reached an entirely new level this week with activists in Iran insisting they will kill President Donald Trump, and his response that promises decimation should they pursue that.
“1,000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran,” Trump said on social media.
The actual status of the fight is that military strikes have been resumed, apparently ending a memorandum of understanding ceasefire, with Iran’s attacks on multiple commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. responded with strategic attacks on Iranian assets.
The Iranian threats, now being renewed, date back to Trump’s order for the destruction of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Gen. Qassem Soleimani during his first term in the Oval Office.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said intelligence indicates Iran was behind both attempts on Trump’s life in 2024. The president’s narrow escape from a sniper’s gunfire at a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally and another assassination attempt at his golf course both originated from Iran, according to the prime minister.
It was at a funeral just days ago for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s where crowds of mourners wished death upon Trump. Crowds carried banners reading “Kill Trump,” “Hey Trump, we will kill you,” and “There will be blood” on placards depicting Trump’s image.
A report at RedState said Trump’s response has been to confirm instructions, should assassination attempts continue, to “basically wipe out the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
“Kill Trump” banners were on full display as Iranians held funeral events for Khamenei.
Signs also threatened Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The report said, “The Iranian Islamic government is known for its bellicose rhetoric that often isn’t matched by its ability to carry out its threats. That being said, we’ve seen at least three assassination attempts against Trump since 2024, so complacency is not an option.”
“WE WILL KILL TRUMP.”
That message has been displayed on massive banners and signs as thousands gather for slain Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s burial ceremony in Iran.

According to the Daily Mail, Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Ali Khamenei and now apparently Iran’s supreme leader, vowed harm to America.
“Revenge is the demand of our nation and must certainly be carried out. We pledge that we will take revenge for your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers,” he said.
“These criminals, whose names from top to bottom are known and documented, will take their wish for a peaceful death in old age and in their beds with them to the grave. They must know that this matter does not depend on my existence or that of other officials.”
