US President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran listed him as the top target on its assassination list. Speaking to reporters at a NATO summit in Turkey, Trump said a new list was released showing his name at number one. He added that due to security concerns, he would not return home on a Boeing aircraft gifted by Qatar but would instead use a former Air Force One plane.

The remarks came as tensions between the United States and Iran escalated again despite a ceasefire agreement signed in June. Reports said Iran attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting US strikes on Iranian air defense systems, radar sites, and naval vessels. Iran later retaliated with attacks on several military installations in the Gulf region, though US officials reported no American casualties.

Trump accused Tehran of repeatedly violating the ceasefire and warned that the US could launch further military strikes if necessary. He also said Iran would never be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons and suggested possible attacks on Iran’s infrastructure or renewed sanctions if tensions persist.
