US President Donald Trump issued a threat against Iran, promising to wipe the entire country off the face of the earth if his life is put in danger.
“They shouldn’t be doing but I’ve left notification. Anything ever happens, the whole country is going to get blown up,” he said in an exclusive interview with NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight”.
Trump also blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, for being too soft on Tehran.
“Biden should have said something. When they made a statement, we always said, ‘Why isn’t Biden saying anything?’ Because he didn’t. If I were here and they were making that threat to somebody—even not a president, but somebody, like they did with me—I would absolutely hit them so hard. But I have very firm instructions. Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this Earth,” he said.
Last week, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Iran is prepared to teach Trump an “unforgettable lesson” should he decide to attack the Islamic Republic.
