Overview
- Javad Larijani warned on Iranian state television that a small drone could hit President Trump’s navel if he sunbathes at Mar-a-Lago, declaring he can no longer be safe there.
- Trump shrugged off the comment at the White House, saying he hasn’t sunbathed in years and questioning whether the threat is genuine.
- The U.S. Secret Service said it remains in a “heightened and very dynamic threat environment” and would not discuss specific intelligence.
- The drone strike warning follows U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities in June and traces back to tensions unleashed by the 2020 killing of IRGC General Qassem Soleimani.
- Blood Pact, an online crowdfunding drive, claims to have raised over $27 million to fund retribution against individuals deemed enemies of Iran’s Supreme Leader.
