Senior Iranian official threatens: "We are determined to kill Trump and Netanyahu"

Senior Iranian officials are threatening to kill US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and to expand the list of targets without geographic limitation, including attacks on American bases in Europe. The threats come following the directive of Supreme Leader Khamenei and against the backdrop of the deadlock in talks with the US.

In the past 24 hours, senior military commanders and officials in Iran's Revolutionary Guards have threatened to kill US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as to attack American bases in Europe and other targets worldwide. The statements were made after Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei instructed the armed forces to respond immediately to threats and to expand the target list without geographic limitation. Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Kiomars Heydari, said in an interview with state television: "We are determined to kill Trump and Netanyahu as long as we live." Meanwhile, a senior Revolutionary Guards official, Mohammad Reza Naqdi, stated that the armed forces have received a green light from the Supreme Leader to operate in any arena. Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, added that if the US renews attacks, Iran may strike American military bases in Europe and remote islands. The statements come amid disagreements over the renewal of negotiations between Iran and the US.
