Iran’s Supreme Leader’s newspaper openly calls for Trump’s assassination as nuclear tensions reach boiling point.
The rogue regime in Tehran has escalated its threats against former President Donald Trump to new and dangerous levels. Iran’s Kayhan newspaper, the official mouthpiece of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has explicitly called for Trump’s assassination in revenge for the 2020 killing of terrorist mastermind Qassem Soleimani. Meanwhile, Iran has placed its military on “full alert” as Trump promises devastating consequences if they attempt to harm him or continue their nuclear program. The situation has devolved into a high-stakes game of chicken with global implications, as Iran accelerates its nuclear weapons development while the U.S. positions strategic military assets throughout the region.
Iran’s Regime Openly Threatens Trump’s Life
In a stunning display of international terrorism from a sovereign nation, Iran’s Kayhan newspaper – the direct voice of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei – has published an explicit assassination threat against former President Donald Trump. The newspaper declared that “a few bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull of his and he’ll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death.” This isn’t just rhetoric from some fringe publication – this is essentially the Iranian government putting a hit out on an American president.
“He’s way out of line! Any day now, in revenge for the blood of Martyr Soleimani, a few bullets are going to be fired into that empty skull of his and he’ll be drinking from the chalice of a cursed death.” – Kayhan newspaper
The threat stems from Trump’s 2020 decision to eliminate Iranian Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the terrorist mastermind responsible for the deaths of over 600 American military personnel. While the Biden administration has seemingly forgotten about Iran’s bloody hands, federal authorities have been monitoring ongoing Iranian threats against Trump and other U.S. officials. In fact, an Iranian agent has already been charged with plotting to assassinate Trump, showing these aren’t empty threats from a harmless regime.

Trump’s Promise of Devastating Retaliation
Trump isn’t taking these threats lying down. With his characteristic directness, the former president has made it crystal clear what awaits Iran should they attempt to harm him: complete obliteration. “I’ve left instructions if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left,” Trump declared. This isn’t just tough talk – Trump has already demonstrated his willingness to take decisive action against Iran’s terrorist activities through the Soleimani strike.
The former president has also issued a stark ultimatum regarding Iran’s nuclear program: negotiate a new agreement or face military consequences. “If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump stated plainly, while also noting he might implement “secondary tariffs” as he did during his first term. The mullahs in Tehran seem to have forgotten that Trump doesn’t make idle threats – when he draws a red line, unlike some previous administrations, he enforces it.

Iran’s Military Preparations and Nuclear Acceleration
In response to Trump’s warnings, Khamenei has placed Iran’s military on “full alert” and is reportedly amassing troops while ordering a withdrawal from Yemen to prepare for potential conflict. The regime is setting up missiles in underground facilities and has warned Persian Gulf countries against supporting any U.S. military action, threatening “severe consequences” for those who do. Meanwhile, Khamenei continues his tough talk, promising a “strong reciprocal blow” if the U.S. acts.
More alarmingly, Iran is accelerating its nuclear weapons development, with warheads reportedly capable of reaching over 1,800 miles – putting Europe, Israel, and U.S. bases throughout the Middle East within striking distance. Nuclear development is reportedly underway at sites in Shahrud, Semnan, and Sorkheh Hesar, with technology influenced by North Korea. This is exactly why Trump’s hardline approach is necessary – appeasement only emboldens these regimes.
“The enmity from the US and Israel has always been there. They threaten to attack us, which we don’t think is very probable, but if they commit any mischief, they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow. And if they are thinking of causing sedition inside the country, as in past years, the Iranian people themselves will deal with them.” – Ayatollah Ali Khamenei – https://www.the-sun.com/news/13953096/kill-trump-iran-paper-ayatollah-donald-trump-attack/
U.S. Military Posturing and International Reactions
The United States isn’t sitting idly by as Iran makes threats and accelerates its nuclear program. Reports indicate the U.S. has stationed B-2 stealth bombers on Diego Garcia, strategically positioned to strike Iranian targets if necessary. These preparations, combined with reports of a potential joint U.S.-Israeli attack plan, send a clear message that America is ready to act decisively if Iran crosses the line on either its assassination plots or nuclear ambitions.
Meanwhile, Russia has predictably condemned U.S. military threats against Iran, calling them “unacceptable” and urging restraint. Tehran is seeking support from Moscow but remains skeptical about Putin’s commitment, which may ultimately depend on the relationship between Trump and Putin. The Biden administration’s weak leadership has created this dangerous vacuum where America’s enemies feel emboldened to make threats and accelerate their weapons programs with impunity.
The situation remains highly volatile, with the possibility of military action increasing daily. Iran’s stubbornness in refusing direct negotiations with the U.S. and instead insisting on the lifting of Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy before talks can begin shows the effectiveness of Trump’s approach. The mullahs were feeling the squeeze, and they know a second Trump term means a return to policies that actually work rather than the appeasement they’ve enjoyed under Biden.
