Trump's remarks come after reports that Israel shared intelligence with Washington suggesting that Iran was considering a plot to assassinate the U.S. president.


U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Iran, declaring that 1,000 missiles are "programmed and ready to be launched" at the Islamic Republic if Tehran carries out or attempts an assassination against him.


In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that the United States has prepared a devastating military response if Iran acts on what he described as threats made against him in various parts of the world.


"1,000 missiles are programmed and targeted at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands more ready to follow immediately if the Iranian government acts on its threat to kill or attempt to kill the sitting President of the United States of America—in this case, ME," Trump wrote.


He added that the orders have already been given and that the U.S. military is "ready, willing, and able" for a period of one year, with the option of an extension, to "completely destroy every target in Iran."


Trump's comments come after reports that Israel passed intelligence to Washington indicating that Iran had been considering a plan to assassinate the U.S. president. Tehran has repeatedly vowed to avenge the killing of General Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was killed in a U.S. strike during Trump's first term.

In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said he had left instructions that if such a plot were carried out, the United States should bomb Iran "with an intensity never seen before." However, he dismissed claims that Israel had signaled a specific and imminent threat.


Ceasefire is over


Trump also declared that the ceasefire between the United States and Iran has now ended, although he confirmed that Washington has agreed to Tehran's request to continue negotiations.


"The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue the talks. We have agreed, but we have made it clear to Iran that the ceasefire is over," he wrote.


The statement came after the most intense exchange of attacks between the two countries since the ceasefire took effect. According to reports, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out two days of military operations this week, targeting, among other things, railway lines that Iran was allegedly using to transport military supplies.


Meanwhile, the Trump administration has delivered an ultimatum to Iran, demanding that Tehran publicly declare that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open to international shipping and commit to halting attacks on commercial vessels.


According to reports, the message was delivered both directly and through regional intermediaries. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to hold talks in Muscat with his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr al-Busaidi, to discuss the crisis.

In recent weeks, Oman has been working with the United States and its Gulf allies to establish an alternative maritime corridor along its coastline, allowing commercial vessels to avoid the most volatile areas. According to reports, Iran has viewed this move as weakening its negotiating position.


U.S. officials claim that Iranian negotiators privately acknowledged during talks that hardline elements within the regime had carried out attacks on commercial ships in an effort to strengthen Iran's bargaining position.


One U.S. official said that Iranian representatives contacted Washington following the latest escalation of the conflict, saying, "We made a mistake. We were wrong. Let's continue the talks."


According to the same official, divisions exist within the Iranian leadership over how to implement the memorandum of understanding with the United States and the direction the negotiations should take.


Washington expects that, following Saturday's meeting in Oman, Iran will issue a statement committing to halt attacks on commercial shipping and confirming that all maritime routes through the Strait of Hormuz will remain open, without additional fees or restrictions.


Another U.S. official warned that if Tehran fails to meet these demands, the consequences will be serious.


"If this is not their position, then it will not be a good day for them," the official said.
