Overview

• Iranian adviser Mohammad-Javad Larijani warned in a televised address that Trump “can no longer sunbathe” at Mar-a-Lago because a micro-drone could strike him in the navel.
• The U.S. Secret Service said it is operating in a “heightened and very dynamic threat environment” and has intensified protective measures at the president’s Florida residence.
• Blood Pact, an Iran-linked crowdfunding site, reports raising roughly $27 million to fund bounties against those deemed enemies of the Islamic Republic, including Trump.
• President Trump laughed off the drone warning, quipping that he rarely sunbathes and conceding “perhaps” the threat is real.
• The warning amplifies tensions that surged after U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June and echoes past IRGC-linked assassination plots.
