The president of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Tuesday that he has left "instructions" for Iran to be "annihilated" in the event that he is assassinated by them.
“He dejado instrucciones: si lo hacen, serán aniquilados, no quedará nada”, aseguró Trump desde el Despacho Oval de la Casa Blanca, en un video published on X por la abogada Marina Medvin.
His warning came during the signing of a memorandum that strengthens pressure against Iran, aimed at blocking its access to nuclear weapons and limiting its oil exports.
The statements come in the context of rising tensions with Tehran and following the revelation of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate him, according to the Spanish agency EFE.
En noviembre pasado, el Departamento de Justicia estadounidense informó que había frustrado an Iranian plan to assassinate Trumpantes de las presidential elections.
According to the accusation, the operation was led by Iranian authorities and carried out by Farhad Shakeri, an Iranian citizen who is currently a fugitive. However, Tehran has repeatedly denied its involvement in the plot.
The presidential memo signed by Trump reinstates the so-called "maximum pressure" policy on Iran, which he implemented during his first term after withdrawing the U.S. from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
The measure aims to prevent the Persian country from enriching uranium to levels close to military use and to stop its support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, which are considered enemies of Israel, Washington's main ally in the region.
Despite his rhetoric, Trump indicated that he is willing to negotiate with Tehran and even to engage in dialogue with the Iranian president, Masud Pezeshkian. However, he insisted that the pressure will continue until Iran abandons its nuclear program.
