Donald Trump took his increasingly personal war of words with Iran to a new level Friday night. In one of his most deranged Truth Social posts to date, the president declared he has already ordered 1,000 U.S. missiles to be launched at Iran if he is assassinated, before ending the threat with the phrase, “PRAISE BE TO ALLAH.”
The late-night Truth Social post comes as he continues to publicly focus on alleged Iranian threats against his life while insisting the United States is prepared to unleash overwhelming military force if anything happens to him.
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Trump wrote, claiming they would be launched if Iran carried out what he described as its repeated threats to assassinate him.
He added that “thousands of more” missiles would immediately follow and said the necessary orders have already been issued.
According to Trump, the U.S. military stands “ready, willing, and able” to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” for as long as a year if he were killed.
Then, in a jarring signoff, Trump ended the post with the words: “PRAISE BE TO ALLAH.”
The unusual message comes after several reports suggested U.S. officials are monitoring alleged Iranian plots targeting Trump.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Israel recently shared intelligence with Washington concerning an alleged assassination plot tied to Iran.
Reuters also reported that mourners attending the funeral of Iran’s slain Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, carried banners reading, “We Will Kill Trump.”
Trump has repeatedly referenced those threats in recent weeks.
Following the NATO summit, he was asked why he switched from the luxury Air Force One aircraft recently gifted to the United States by Qatar to the older presidential jet for his trip home.
While speculation centered on possible security concerns surrounding the new aircraft, Trump brushed that aside and instead reminded reporters that he is “No. 1 on the kill list for Iran.”
The plane change fueled additional questions after two former national security officials told MS Now that the Qatari aircraft has not yet been outfitted with the secure communications systems and military defenses normally required for a presidential aircraft during periods of heightened conflict.
Trump has insisted the aircraft was simply flown to a U.S. airbase in the United Kingdom so American troops could tour it.
“I’ve left instructions”
Trump also expanded on his plans during an interview with the New York Post, revealing that he has already instructed officials how to respond if Iran succeeds in assassinating him.
“I’ve left instructions—if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before,” Trump said.
With his latest Truth Social post, however, Trump paired that warning with one of the most unusual endings of his presidency—closing a message about raining missiles on Iran with the words, **”Praise be to Allah.”**
