U.S. President Donald Trump said that the American military stood ready to “completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran” in response to threats to his life.

Trump made the post on Truth Social in the early hours of Saturday morning. Media reports indicate that Trump received intelligence briefings from Israeli authorities that the Iranian regime was targeting him for assassination.

In the post, the president said that “1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran” should the regime attempt to assassinate him.
