President Trump on Friday told The Post he has \u201cleft instructions\u201d should Iran succeed in their plots to assassinate him \u2014 and there\u2019ll be hell to pay.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been on their list for a long time. That\u2019s what we\u2019re dealing with,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026 The only thing is, I\u2019ve left instructions \u2014 if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about recent reports that Israel this week flagged intel of a plot to take out the US president, Trump indicated there was no fresh plan from Iran \u2014 but said Tehran has wanted him dead for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no. Israel came up with nothing. No, no,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been No. 1 [on Iran\u2019s kill list] for a long time, and it\u2019s the way life is, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope you\u2019ll miss me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Iran has openly sought the president\u2019s assassination since 2020, when Trump directed the attack that killed Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani.<\/p>\n

There have also been multiple foiled assassination plots against Trump since an assassin\u2019s bullet grazed his ear at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.<\/p>\n

US-Iran tensions have been supercharged in public this week. During the funeral for the killed supreme leader, Iranian demonstrators unfurled giant banners calling for Trump\u2019s killing.<\/p>\n
