Iran issues sickening assassination threat against Trump: ‘This time it will not miss the target’
Published Jan. 14, 2026, 12:25 p.m. ET
Iran issued a sickening threat against President Trump Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt — with the words “This time it will not miss the target.”
The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported.
It marks Tehran’s most direct threat yet against Trump, following his repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.
The image of a bloodied-Trump appeared to be taken from a pro-government rally in Iran, which has been allowed to air despite nationwide blackouts over the protests against the regime.
Trump was infamously the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was shot in the ear by gunman Thomas Crooks.
Iran has made threats to kill Trump in the past, including a 2022 video posted by the regime depicting an assassination attempt on the president at his Mar-a-Lago golf course prior to the 2024 election.
The video resurfaced following the arrest of would-be assassin Ryan Routh, who was arrested while trying to take aim at Trump on the same golf course.
The Justice Department also said that in 2024, the US thwarted an Iranian-led plot to kill Trump after arresting Farhad Shakeri, who was allegedly tasked by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to murder the president for the regime, according to court documents.
Along with the anti-Trump signs, those attending the latest pro-government rallies in Iran were heard shouting, “Death to America!” as they vowed their support for Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The pro-regime rallies are meant to try and undermine the widespread protests against Tehran that have carried on since Dec. 28 over the nation’s failing economy.
The protests have triggered a brutal crackdown on dissent, with more than 2,500 people killed since the demonstrations began, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, with thousands more arrested.
Tensions between Tehran and Washington have ramped up over the protests, with Trump warning that a military operation was on the table over the attack on the protesters.
Officials in Tehran, meanwhile, have said that it would attack American troops in the region and even Israel if the US strikes Iran.
sounds like an act of war to me

Me thinks the bombers are being loaded up. Not certain, just a hunch.
Tell the Iranian people to run away quickly. Give them Two days, then turn 'islam' to dust.
Almost like it's scripted, because now there's good reason to go in with surgical precision to end that reign of terror.
Somebody needs a good purge. Send 'em a Tomahawk enema...
Hmmm, despite all the previous evidence, it is now Iran who attempted to kill Trump.
