Trump ‘left instructions’ to bomb Iran ‘at levels that they’ve never seen’ if he’s assassinated

President Trump on Friday claimed he has left instructions to bomb Iran “at levels that they’ve never seen before” should Tehran assassinate him. ... “I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with,” he told the New York Post. “The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”

The interview comes a day after The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel recently shared intelligence with the U.S. indicating a new plot from Iran to assassinate Trump.

But CNN, citing U.S. officials, reported that the new Israeli intelligence could have been an attempt to influence Trump’s stance as he weighs whether to escalate military action against Iran. Israel has pushed for increased military intervention in the Middle East while Trump has opted for continuing negotiations, though on Friday he announced a fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was “over.”

Trump disputed there was a fresh plot against him but said Iran has wanted him dead for years. ... “No, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,” the president said. “I’ve been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know.”

Are other past presidents still ruling?
