Iran has warned US President Donald Trump to 'be careful not to be eliminated' after he said he did not believe the regime's new Supreme Leader can 'live in peace'. Trump had told Iran to brace for 'death, fire, and fury' for keeping the Strait of Hormuz shut before threatening its new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei. He told Fox the new Supreme Leader will be unable to live in peace and he was not happy with the appointment, having warned Iran he would have the final say over their leader. But the regime's security chief Ali Larijani dismissed Mr. Trump's comments, claiming Iran 'is not afraid of your empty threats'. He added, 'Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Take care of yourself not to be eliminated!' Larijani's threat comes just days after an Iranian operative was convicted for an assassination attempt against Mr Trump during the 2024 presidential race. Mr. Trumps campaign was warned by national security officials that Iran was targeting him and had multiple kill teams inside the US. Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national who was trained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was found guilty of the assassination plot on Saturday. .
