Trump signs order to have Iran 'obliterated' if he is assassinated: report

President Donald Trump reportedly signed a memorandum on Tuesday ordering the United States to have Iran "obliterated" if the country assassinated him.

According to Sky News, Trump said he was "torn" about whether or not to sign the order but decided to move forward because Iran was "too close" to having a nuclear weapon.

"Trump said he would hold talks with his counterpart in Tehran, but warned he's left 'instructions' that if Iran assassinated him, the US foe 'would be obliterated,'" Sky News reported.
