Former president and current Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump offered a dying wish Thursday afternoon, just in case he’s ever assassinated at the hands of Iranian agents.

Alongside a clip of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , Trump wrote the following on Truth Social.

If they do “assassinate President Trump,” which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth — If that does not happen, American Leaders will be considered “gutless” cowards!

A few days after Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt with his life earlier this month, CNN reported that “US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president.”

“NSC [National Security Council] directly contacted USSS [United States Secret Service at a senior level to be absolutely sure they continued to track the latest reporting. USSS shared this information with the detail lead, and the Trump campaign was made aware of an evolving threat. In response to the increased threat, Secret Service surged resources and assets for the protection of former President Trump. All of this was in advance of Saturday,” a national security official told CNN.

However, there is no evidence to suggest that Thomas Michael Crooks , the assassin who very nearly killed Trump, was part of any Iranian plot.

Trump and the Iranians were at odds throughout his presidency, as the former pursued a “maximum pressure” strategy on the authoritarian, theocratic regime.

The former president not only withdrew from the so-called Iran nuclear deal, but ordered the assassination of Qasem Soleimani , the terrorist general who served as the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ infamous Quds Force.

“Soleimani was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel, but we caught him in the act and terminated him,” said Trump in explaining his decision to eliminate Soleimani . “The future belongs to the people of Iran — those who seek peaceful coexistence and cooperation — not the terrorist warlords who plunder their nation to finance bloodshed abroad.”
