U.S. President Donald Trump warned during a press conference on the sidelines of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit that Iran may seek to kill him, describing him as their “number one target.” Trump told reporters, “They want to eliminate the American leader, and I am on every one of their lists. So far, I’ve been somewhat lucky, but that may not last, and my life is in danger.” Trump’s remarks came after he announced that the ceasefire with Iran had ended, describing Iran’s leadership as “sick.” He added, “I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They are scum and sick people, violent and vicious. If they have a nuclear weapon, they will use it.” Trump’s announcement followed a series of intense U.S. strikes targeting more than 80 Iranian sites around the Strait of Hormuz overnight, in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the strait. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that the strikes included Iranian air defense systems, radar installations, and more than 60 small boats belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
