President Donald Trump recently detailed those instructions in a New York Post interview.

His instructions are straightforward, if highly unconventional: to launch an immediate, massive bombing campaign against Iran if he is successfully assassinated.

What Trump Said
Referring to the long-standing threats against him by the Iranian regime since the 2020 airstrike that killed General Qassem Soleimani, Trump stated:
“I’ve been on their list for a long time. That’s what we’re dealing with… The only thing is, I’ve left instructions — if anything happens, to just literally bomb them at levels that they’ve never seen before.”
In a corresponding Truth Social post, Trump elaborated on this stance, writing that “1,000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded” and that orders have already been given to the U.S. military to completely destroy all areas of Iran for a one-year period if they carry out or attempt an assassination plot.

The Legal and Military Reality
While Trump claims these instructions are firmly in place, constitutional and military law experts note that a sitting president cannot legally bind the military to an automated retaliatory strike after their death.

- The Final Say: Any actual decision to deploy troops or launch missiles would rest entirely with the newly sworn-in president and their administration, not the instructions left behind by the deceased executive. Hindustan Times
