Iran Issues Direct Threat Against Trump: "This Time the Bullet Won't Miss"

Iranian state television has issued a direct threat against former US President Donald Trump, stating: "This time the bullet won't miss." The threat is linked to a previous assassination attempt against Trump in July 2024, where a bullet struck him in the ear during a campaign rally. The escalation of rhetoric from the Iranian side comes amid ongoing protests in the country and the possibility of US intervention in support of the protesters. This threat is considered the most direct expressed by Tehran against Trump following the latter's repeated warnings of a potential US attack on Iran if it continues to violently suppress protests. Iranian television used a photograph from Trump's speech where the attempt took place, reinforcing the threatening message. The specific threat has raised concerns as it is a clear reference to a violent incident and expresses the intention to complete what was not done in the previous attempt. This move highlights the tension between the two countries and the sensitivity of the situation in Iran. The Iranian government has not officially commented on the threat, however, its broadcast by state television suggests an approval or at least a silent acceptance of the rhetoric. The situation is being closely monitored by the international community, as there is fear of further escalation of the conflict.
