Trump warned that the United States has 1,000 missiles aimed at Iran.By Vered Weiss, World Israel NewsPresident Donald Trump and Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei traded threats as the United States and Iran remained at odds over negotiations and the future of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.Trump warned that the United States has 1,000 missiles aimed at Iran and threatened a devastating military response if Tehran carries out or attempts to carry out threats to assassinate him.“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social late Friday US time. He said thousands more could “immediately follow” if Iran attempts to assassinate the sitting US president, “in this case, ME!”Trump said the US military was “ready, willing, and able” to act for up to one year, subject to an extension, and to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”The Wall Street Journal and other US media reported earlier this week that Israel had provided Washington with intelligence concerning an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump.Khamenei, meanwhile, pledged to avenge those killed in military conflict, including his father, Ali Khamenei.“Tehran is committed to avenging your blood (his father Ali Khamenei) and the blood of all those killed in the two wars. This revenge is the will of our nation and it must be done soon,” he wrote in a message issued on his behalf.The exchange came as Trump said Iran’s leadership had asked to restart negotiations despite his earlier declaration that the Washington-Tehran memorandum of understanding was over.“The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!” Trump wrote Friday.Iran denied requesting renewed talks. Fars cited a source close to the negotiating team as saying negotiations would not resume “until the American side backs down from its positions.”Iran’s state broadcaster also said Tehran would not return to negotiations because of US noncompliance with the Islamabad memorandum of understanding.Washington is separately demanding that Iran halt attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and permit unrestricted, toll-free shipping through all lanes, senior US officials said Friday.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Oman for talks with his Omani counterpart, Badr al-Busaidi, on a mechanism for ships to transit the strait under the memorandum of understanding.Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman also discussed US-Iran talks, waterway security and regional stability with Trump, the Saudi Press Agency reported.The post Trump threatens to ‘decimate’ Iran if it attempts assassination, Khamenei vows revenge for father’s killing appeared first on World Israel News.
