US President Donald Trump sent a stark warning to Tehran overnight, saying the United States would "completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran" should there be an assassination attempt against him.
During funeral ceremonies this week for former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei - who died at the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict in February - many mourners took to the streets holding signs calling for the deaths of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"1,000 missiles are locked and loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian government act on its threat," Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social account.
He then signed off the post with the phrase "praise be to Allah", which he also did in a post threatening Iran last April.
On Friday, the US President said he had agreed to continue talks with Iran, but reiterated that a ceasefire outlined in the two nations' June "memorandum of understanding" was over.
