Trump threatens Iran: 1,000 missiles ready if you try to kill me

Donald Trump has issued new threats against Iran, warning Tehran that he has ordered the launch of 1,000 missiles towards the country if they try to kill him.

"1,000 missiles are ready to be launched and are aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands more to follow immediately, should the Iranian government carry out its threat, made in many countries around the world, to assassinate or attempt to assassinate the sitting President of the United States of America, namely, me!" the US president said in a post on Truth Social.

"Orders have already been given and the US military is ready, willing and able, for a period of one year, with the possibility of extension, to completely destroy all areas of Iran," he further added.

At the same time, according to a report from Axios, the Trump administration has sent an ultimatum to Iran to admit by today, Saturday, that the Strait of Hormuz is open and to commit to stopping attacks on commercial ships.

This message was conveyed to Tehran both directly and through regional intermediaries, three US officials said.

The Americans claim that Iran violated the memorandum of understanding it signed with the US three weeks ago by carrying out repeated attacks on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz area.

These attacks sparked exchanges of fire and brought the fragile agreement closer to collapse, with the US president declaring during the NATO Summit that the ceasefire "is over", calling the Iranians "scum".

US officials argue that Tehran's failure to adhere to such a clear commitment raises serious doubts about Iran's willingness and ability to implement a more complex agreement regarding the country's nuclear program.

At the center of future moves is the meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, which is expected to take place today in Muscat to discuss the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

Oman has taken on the role of mediator, and in recent weeks, even before the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation, it has collaborated with the US and Gulf countries to create an alternative sea route near its coasts for the passage of ships.

The move angered Iran, weakening its negotiating position, U.S. officials said. Iranian negotiators told them that radical elements within the regime had opened fire on the ships in an attempt to regain their negotiating advantage.

A US official said the Iranians contacted the US government after two days of fighting earlier this week and asked for new talks to resolve the dispute. "They told us, 'We made a mistake. Let's continue the talks,'" the official claimed.

The same US official added that a power struggle is taking place within the Iranian regime regarding the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding and further steps in negotiations with the Trump administration.

"There are elements within their system that want to reach an agreement, but we cannot make decisions for them. They have to take things under control," he said.

US officials said, according to Axios, that they expect Iran to issue a statement today following Saturday's meeting in Oman.

“We want them to publicly state that they will stop shooting at the ships and to admit explicitly, or at least implicitly, that they were wrong. That’s what we’re working on right now. We expect the Iranians to state… that all passages in the Strait of Hormuz will be open and that passage will be free,” a US official said.

A second US official said there would be serious consequences if Iran refused.

"If that's not their stance, then it's not going to be a good day for them," he said.
