President Trump issued a stark warning to Iran, stating that he has instructed his advisors to 'obliterate' the nation if they attempt to assassinate him. This threat came amidst a series of executive orders, including one withdrawing the US from the UN Human Rights Council and another promising to cut funding for the UNRWA.
Donald Trump asserted that he has issued directives to his advisors to 'obliterate' Iran if the nation attempts to assassinate him. During a discussion on Iran on Tuesday, Trump elaborated, stating, 'If they did that they would be obliterated.' These remarks were made as Trump addressed reporters while signing an executive order mandating the US government to exert maximum pressure on Tehran. 'I've left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won't be anything left,' stated Mr.
Trump. \The Justice Department disclosed federal charges in November alleging that an Iranian plot to kill Mr. Trump prior to the presidential election had been foiled. The department claimed that Iranian officials had directed Farhad Shakeri, 51, in September to prioritize surveilling and ultimately assassinating Mr. Trump. Shakeri remains at large in Iran. This announcement coincided with Trump signing an executive order on Thursday withdrawing the US from the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday. The president vowed to cut funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) as part of a series of executive orders signed in front of awaiting press. 'The US funding to the UN is excessive and unfair,' the US President declared while signing the order. \The executive order signifies that Mr. Trump has reinstated policies previously in place during his first administration. Speaking to reporters, Trump confessed to being 'torn' when deciding whether to sign it, but asserted that Tehran was 'too close' to possessing a nuclear weapon. 'Hopefully, we are not going to have to use it very much,' he said. 'I'm unhappy to do it.
