Trump Responds To Iranian Assassination Efforts: ‘Your Country Gets Blown To Smithereens’

 Former President Donald Trump delivered a forceful response on Wednesday to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s efforts to assassinate him, saying that once he is president they will be “blown to smithereens” if the threats continue.

Trump made the remarks at a campaign event in North Carolina after he was briefed by top national security officials about Iran’s continued efforts to kill him.

“If I were the president, I would inform the threatening country, in this case, Iran, that if you do anything to harm this person, we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens,” he said. “We’re going to blow it to smithereens. You can’t do that. And there would be no more threats. There would be no more threats.”

During the remarks, Trump thanked Democrats and Republicans for coming together in a bipartisan manner to unanimously pass funding for beefing up the Secret Service to protect and prevent assassination attempts in the future.

He slammed the Biden-Harris administration for its weakness in responding to the threats from Iran and took issue with it providing security protection for Iran’s president on U.S. soil

“Meanwhile, we have the president of Iran in our country this week, we have large security forces guarding him, and yet they are threatening our former president and the leading candidate to become the next president of the United States — certainly a strange set of circumstances,” he said. “Around the world, our enemies are desperate to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House, because they know I will make America great again. They don’t want that. Four years ago, our country was feared and respected, and our country will soon be feared and respected again.”

 

“No threat will shake me, no enemy will intimidate me, and I have never been more determined than I am today, and I will never back down in my fight to make America great again, which is what we’re doing,” Trump continued. “So I want to make that statement because we are under threat. I have been threatened very directly, and I appreciate the agencies that we’ve been meeting with, but we’ve been threatened very directly by Iran, and I think you have to let them know, because the best way to do it is through the Office of the President that if you do any attacks on former presidents or candidates for president, your country gets blown to smithereens.”
