Trump Threatens To “Wipe Iran From The Face Of The Earth”

President Donald Trump has laid down the law to Iran’s theocratic rulers, making it crystal clear that any assassination attempt against himself or members of his administration will lead to the complete obliteration of their country.

In a recent interview, Trump revealed he has issued explicit orders for massive retaliation in such a scenario, underscoring America’s resolve under his leadership to crush threats from rogue states. This comes amid ongoing Iranian aggression, including social media posts from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei depicting Trump in a coffin.

In the interview with NewsNation host Katie Pavlich, Trump addressed the Iranian threats head-on.

“They shouldn’t be doing it, but I’ve left notification. Anything ever happens, the whole country is going to get blown up,” Trump bluntly stated.

He criticized the lack of response from the prior administration, pointing out how it emboldened adversaries.

“Originally, Biden should have said something, when they made a statement. We always said, ‘Why isn’t Biden saying anything?’ Because he didn’t,” Trump said.

Emphasizing the duty of leadership, Trump explained his own approach to such provocations.

“But a president has to defend a president. If I were here, and they were making that threat to somebody, even, not even a president, but somebody, like they did with me, I would absolutely hit them so hard,” he added.

Trump then reiterated the severity of his directives.

“But I have very firm instructions — anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump’s warning builds on a history of decisive actions against Iran during his presidencies. In January 2020, his administration eliminated Qasem Soleimani, the notorious commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in a targeted drone strike that disrupted Tehran’s terror operations across the Middle East.

More recently, in June 2025, the United States conducted a major airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Seven B-2A Spirit bombers delivered up to 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, inflicting heavy damage on the regime’s illicit nuclear program without any American casualties. This operation set back Iran’s weapons ambitions significantly, demonstrating the effectiveness of Trump’s maximum pressure strategy.

The Biden Justice Department had previously indicted a senior IRGC member in 2022 for plotting to assassinate former National Security Advisor John Bolton, offering $300,000 to a hitman. Such schemes highlight Iran’s persistent use of terrorism as state policy.

Tensions have spiked further in early 2026, with Iran’s foreign minister issuing a direct counter-threat against the U.S. amid a brutal crackdown on domestic protests. In a statement, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran would “fire back with everything we have” if attacked again, claiming the country showed restraint during the 2025 strikes.

Protester deaths have climbed into the hundreds as the regime clings to power through violence, exposing the fragility of its rule.

Meanwhile, U.S. military assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier group, are deploying to the region, signaling readiness to enforce Trump’s red lines. Iranian leaders have ramped up their rhetoric, with some vowing that any assassination attempt “will not miss the target” this time.

Trump’s message to Iran serves as a reminder: America will no longer coddle and tolerate threats from despots. Any miscalculation by Tehran could end the regime’s reign of terror for good, paving the way for a more stable Middle East aligned with U.S. interests.
