US President Donald Trump left instructions in case Iran succeeds in killing him. In an interview with The New York Post, he stated that Tehran would pay a high price in such a scenario. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
He commented on reports that Israeli intelligence had passed data to Washington about Tehran's plans to eliminate the US president.
According to him, Iran currently has no such plans, but the country's leadership has long wanted him dead.
"I've been on their list for a long time, that's what it's about. The only thing... I left instructions — if something like that really happens: bomb them like never before," Trump said and expressed hope that he would be missed.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that Washington agreed to continue negotiations with Iran at Tehran's request. At the same time, according to him, the American side warned that the previously declared ceasefire regime is no longer in effect.
Recall that the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18, after which they began 60-day negotiations on the final settlement of differences. The next meeting of delegations took place on July 1 in Doha, where the parties agreed to create a permanent communication channel to discuss the implementation of the memorandum.
Negotiations were also scheduled for July 11, during which they planned to discuss the unfreezing of Iranian assets and a possible agreement on the nuclear program.
However, even after the signing of the memorandum, the parties repeatedly exchanged strikes, and from July 8, mutual attacks became almost continuous. Washington also reinstated oil sanctions against Iran and threatened a new blockade of ports.
Yesterday, it became known that Iran will transfer a plot in the port of the Strait of Hormuz to Kazakhstan, and that the IAEA is considering Kazakhstan as an option for storing Iranian uranium.
