Trump Left Orders To Obliterate Iran If Assassinated: 'Bomb Them At Levels Never Seen Before' The Iran war saga has seen its fair share of bizarre and wild twists, and Friday has brought yet another - with the NY Post reporting that President Trump said he "left instructions" for a massive bombing campaign against Iran in the event he's assassinated by Iranian operatives. "I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with," he told New York Post .

He then clarified that these are old and persisting, vague threats: "I've been No. 1 [on Iran’s kill list] for a long time, and it’s the way life is, you know," he said, before adding, "I hope you'll miss me."
