US President Donald Trump has issued one of his strongest warnings to Iran, declaring that the United States would unleash overwhelming military force if Tehran attempts to assassinate him. The statement follows renewed intelligence reports and public threats linked to Iran after the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump claimed he had instructed the US military to respond with devastating strikes, saying hundreds of missiles were ready if such an attack occurred. The remarks further heighten tensions between Washington and Tehran, raising concerns over regional stability and the future of diplomatic efforts. (PC: Reuters)
