US President Donald Trump claimed Iran is plotting to assassinate him, saying he is “on every list” and warning that his luck “may not last.” Speaking on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Turkey, Trump alleged Tehran wanted to “take out the US leader” while reiterating that the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding was “over.” He described Iranian negotiators as “vicious” and dismissed further diplomacy, saying talks would be a waste of time. His remarks came after the US launched strikes on Iranian targets. Meanwhile, mourners at former Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s funeral chanted “Kill Trump” slogans, with some speakers openly calling for retaliation against the US President.
