Trump threatens military action against Iran if a U.S. presidential candidate is attacked, stating he would blow the country to "smithereens."

Trump’s comments come amid claims of assassination threats against him from Iran, which he described as a “terror regime” that exploits perceived weaknesses in U.S. leadership. He emphasized that the U.S. military is closely monitoring the situation, suggesting that Iran has already attempted to carry out threats against him. In light of these assertions, Trump thanked Democrats for bipartisan support in enhancing his Secret Service protection, highlighting the seriousness of the threats he faces. He also reiterated his economic policies, including implementing tariffs on foreign nations, while positioning himself as a strong candidate for the presidency.
