U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on his social media platform Truth Social that "1,000 missiles are loaded and aimed at Iran, and thousands more will arrive immediately thereafter, if the Iranian government acts on its threat, which has been declared in many corners of the world, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, me!" According to him, "Orders have already been given, and the U.S. military is ready, willing and able, for a period of one year, subject to extension, to completely destroy and annihilate all areas of Iran - Praise be to Allah!"
