Iranian state television has broadcast a direct death threat against Donald Trump, hinting at a renewed assassination attempt. The message, accompanied by a photo of Trump from a previous rally where he was attacked, read: “This time the bullet won’t miss.” This threat escalates tensions between Iran and the United States amid protests in Iran and fears of US intervention. The Iranian side has repeatedly threatened the US with retaliation in the event of an attack, while Trump has warned of “very harsh action” if Tehran continues to suppress protesters. This particular threat is considered the most direct to date.
