Trump suggests a standing order to attack Iran if it assassinates him. But Vance would make the call
· KRGV (NBC 5)
President Donald Trump has indicated that he has left military orders for the U.S. to retaliate against Iran if it attempts to assassinate him. However, the U.S. lacks a mechanism for automatic retaliation, meaning Vice President JD Vance would have to make the call if Trump were killed. Trump claims that 1,000 missiles are ready to target Iran in response to threats against him. Iran's supreme leader has vowed revenge for the killing of his father, further escalating tensions. The White House has not clarified what would happen to Trump's orders in the event of his death, amid ongoing threats from Iran.
