Washington: US President Donald Trump has once again issued a strong statement regarding Iran. Trump said that if Iran tries to kill him, the US will wipe Iran off the face of the earth. The American president made this statement on NewsNation’s program ‘Katie Pavlich Tonight’. He said, “I have given strict instructions to my officers that if anything happens, they will wipe Iran off the map.” Trump’s statement comes at a time when tensions between Iran and the US are at their peak.
Iran had also warned Donald Trump
It is worth noting that in response to a statement by Trump, Iranian military spokesman General Abolfazl Shekarchi had said, “Trump knows that if anyone raises a hand against our Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with ill intentions, we will not only cut off that hand, but we will set their entire world on fire.” This warning came after Trump’s statement in which he talked about ending Khamenei’s nearly 40-year rule. Trump had previously warned Iran and instructed his advisors to completely destroy Iran if it plotted any assassination attempt against him.
Trump called Khamenei a sick man
Shekarchi’s statement came after Trump’s interview with Politico, in which Trump called Khamenei “a sick man” who “should run his country properly and stop killing people.” Trump had also said that “Iran needs new leadership.” This tension between Iran and the US has escalated further after the protests that began on December 28. These protests started against Iran’s poor economy, and the authorities’ harsh crackdown led to violence. The US military has also become active amidst the protests, which is continuously increasing the tension between the two countries.
