In response to any threats against Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff said that Donald Trump stated the United States would respond to all of Iran if it carries out its threats. In a sharp exchange of threats, both Iran and the United States threatened each other with waging a widespread war in the event of the assassination of the leader of either country. The 79-year-old US President Donald Trump, in response to a question about Iran threatening his life, said: "I gave very strict instructions. If anything happens, we will wipe them off the face of the earth." This came in an exclusive interview with the program "Katy Tur Tonight" on the "NewsNation" channel, on the occasion of the second anniversary of his inauguration.
