01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that he may be assassinated, calling himself Iran's 'number one wanted' target. 'Three rounds of Iran's leadership were eliminated. Maybe this round will also be eliminated,' Trump said, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The remarks come amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Iranian outlets published a list of assassination targets that included Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump has repeatedly made statements about Iran's leadership, including suggesting regime change. The former president's comments underscore the ongoing threat perception from Tehran, even as he has claimed to be engaging with more moderate Iranian interlocutors.
