Former President Donald Trump had choice words for Iran on Wednesday, claiming that if he were reelected, he would blow Iran to “smithereens” if a U.S. presidential candidate were attacked.
“If I were the president, I would inform the threatening country, in this case, Iran, that if you do anything to harm this person, we are going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens,” Trump said during a rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina. “But right now we don’t have that leadership or the necessary people.”
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence briefed the former president on Tuesday “regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
Cheung also claimed that “the terror regime in Iran loves the weakness of Kamala Harris, and is terrified of the strength and resolve of President Trump.”
