Trump confronted with bizarre assassination 'threat': 'Can no longer sunbathe!'

President Donald Trump was confronted with a bizarre "threat" from an Iranian official during a question-and-answer session at the White House on Wednesday, where he met with African leaders.

Fox News's Peter Doocy paraphrased Mohammad-Javad Larijani, "a regime figure and adviser to Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei," who said on Iranian television, "Trump can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago, because while he's lying down, a micro-drone might target and strike him right in the navel."

According to Newsweek, Larijani "laughed as he made the remark...as part of a discussion about the country's military technology."

Doocy asked the president if he thought it was "a real threat," before throwing out, "and when is the last time you went sunbathing, anyway?"

Trump smiled as he mused, "It's been a long time. I don't know; maybe I was around seven or so. I'm not too big into it."

Trump then got serious as he responded to the threat of assassination at the hands of the Iranians.

"Yeah, I guess it's a threat. I'm not sure it's a threat, actually. But, perhaps it is."

It's the latest in the war of words between Trump and the Iranians. Shortly before ordering the U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in June, Trump posted to Truth Social, "We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there — We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now."

Also in June, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News' Bret Baier that Iran tried to assassinate Trump twice "through proxies."

And last November, the Department of Justice unsealed criminal charges against an alleged Iranian asset who claimed he was charged with killing the then-former president before the election, according to The Associated Press.
