Wednesday, January 21, 2026 - US President Donald Trump has threatened to blow up the entire country of Iran when asked about the threats to his life airing on Iranian state television.
Trump disclosed this to NewNation's Katie Pavlich after the
new 10 p.m. show host asked the president about Iran's assassination
threats.
Iranian state television aired clips of the July 13, 2024,
Butler, Pennsylvania, rally in which Trump was nearly k!lled by an
assassin's bullet, with the words, 'this time it won't miss.'
'Well, they shouldn't be doing it, but I've left
notification,' the president told Pavlich. 'Anything ever happens; we're going
to blow the - the whole country is going to get blown up.'
Trump pointed a finger at his predecessor,
President Joe Biden, suggesting that Biden should have been more forceful
against the Iranians when they continued to threaten Trump and other Trump
administration figures' lives.
The Islamic regime stayed angry at the Trump White
House after the January 2020 k!lling of Qasem Soleimani, a top
general in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, now a Trump
critic, was also under an Iranian assassination threat.
'Biden should have said something. You know, when they made
a statement, we always said, "Why isn't Biden saying anything?"
Because he didn't,' Trump said.
But a president has to defend a president like, if I were
here and they were making that threat to somebody even, not even a president,
but somebody, like they did with me, I would absolutely hit them so hard,' the
president continued. 'But I have very firm instructions - anything happens,
they're going to wipe them off the face of this earth.'
Last week, Trump appeared to be poised to launch a military
strike against the regime, who have k!lled thousands of civilians protesting
against the Islamic government.
On Sunday, an Iranian official told Reuters that the de@th
toll had increased to at least 5,000 people.
Iranians have been protesting since last month over a
faltering economy.
On January 2, Trump said the U.S. was 'locked and loaded'
and ready to strike Iran if the killings continued.
But on Wednesday, the president suggested that he believed
the regime's line that they had stopped killing civilians.
'We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and
it's stopped and stopping, and there's no plan for executions or an execution,'
Trump told reporters gathered in the Oval Office for a bill signing event that
would allow whole milk into public school lunch rooms.
The president added that if he finds out that's
not the case, he would be 'very upset.'During his hour and 45-minute-long press
conference on Tuesday, marking his one-year in office for a second time, the
president was asked if a military option remained on the table.
Trump replied that 'they were going to hang 837
people.'
'We let them know if that happens, that will be a very bad
day for them, and they decided not to do it. They didn't hang the people. I
can't tell you what's going to happen in the future, but supposedly they're
taking that off the table,' he said.
'So we're just gonna have to see what happens with Iran,'
Trump said.
