US President Donald Trump has issued a fresh warning to Iran, saying "1,000 missiles are locked and loaded" if Tehran attempts to assassinate him. Trump claimed the US military has already been instructed to retaliate in the event of any assassination attempt and warned that Iran could face "complete destruction." The escalation comes as the United States reportedly gives Iran 24 hours to publicly commit to keeping the Strait of Hormuz open and halt attacks on commercial shipping, warning of "serious consequences" if the demand is ignored.
