President Donald Trump warned that the United States would “wipe (Iran) off the face of this Earth” if Tehran tries to carry out assassination threats against him, saying he has given “very firm instructions” for a massive retaliation. In an interview with NewsNation, Trump said “the whole country is going to get blown up” if Iran moves ahead with such plots, while also criticizing former President Joe Biden for what he described as a weak response to earlier threats from Tehran.
