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 issued standing orders for the U.S. military 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 the authority to decide on any military response should Trump be killed. This comes amid rising tensions, with Iran's leadership vowing revenge for the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Trump claimed that Iran has threatened him and stated that missiles are ready to be launched at Iran if necessary. The White House has not commented on the implications of Trump's orders.
