Trump’s New Orders Following Assassination Fears by Iran

Missile Threat and Retaliatory Orders Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced in sharp and unprecedented remarks that if any assassination plot against him succeeds, the necessary orders for a devastating military response have already been issued. According to reports published on July 11, 2026, Trump claimed on the social network "Truth Social" that 1,000 American missiles are precisely locked onto various targets in Iran and are ready to fire [1]. He emphasized in a threatening tone that if the Iranian government succeeds in carrying out an assassination, the U.S. military is tasked with destroying all of Iran's vital areas and infrastructure for a period of one year, and this operation will be extendable [2].

Israeli Intelligence Reports and Assassination Plots These new tensions escalated after Israeli intelligence services provided Washington with a report indicating a specific and new plot to assassinate Donald Trump [3]. Although U.S. intelligence officials have stated they have not yet independently confirmed all details of this plot, a continuous stream of threats has been monitored in recent weeks. Reacting to this news in an interview with the New York Post, Trump compared the Iranian regime to a "cancer" and said: "I have been at the top of their hit list for years. They want to eliminate the leader of America, but we will root out this cancer" [4].

Strict Security Measures During Diplomatic Travel Security concerns have even overshadowed the President's travel protocols. During Trump's recent trip to Ankara to attend the NATO summit, he followed the advice of the Secret Service and set aside his new and luxurious plane, a gift from Qatar, returning to Washington on an older "Air Force One" aircraft [4]. Some media outlets, such as "Dogru Haber," have described this action as a result of Trump's serious fear for his life, which has led him to issue special orders for his protection and a rapid military response [1].

End of the Ceasefire and the Future of Tehran-Washington Relations These developments occur as the "Islamabad Memorandum," signed on June 14, 2026, to establish a temporary ceasefire, has effectively reached a dead end. Trump explicitly stated that the era of ceasefire is over, although he claimed that diplomatic negotiations are still ongoing at Tehran's request to prevent a full-scale war [3]. In contrast, Iranian officials, including Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of Iran, have emphasized avenging his father's blood and rejected any surrender to Washington's threats. This situation has once again placed the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz on the brink of a major military conflict [2][4].
