Iran unveils billboard with threat against Trump’s life

Iran has unveiled banners and a massive billboard in Tehran that includes threats to kill former US President Donald Trump. According to Punch Nigeria, these displays come amid calls for revenge for a slain leader.

While the Trump administration has expressed optimism regarding a potential negotiated settlement, the US quietly launched an attack on Monday. A US official characterized the strike as a defensive measure against Iranians using surface-to-air missiles against US assets. While Semafor notes that mediators are pushing for an agreement, The Wall Street Journal reported that Monday's strike was part of a series of attacks carried out secretly.

President Trump described the situation as a "very soft war" during a Fox News interview, warning that American forces could strike remaining Iranian nuclear targets within an hour. However, Trump told Axios that he is in no hurry to make a decision, stating, “One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush.” According to Gulf News, Trump is currently weighing three different strategies, including a negotiated settlement, renewed military action, or maintaining economic pressure.
