During a discussion about Iran’s military technology, regime figure Mohammad-Javad Larijani and advisor to Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Trump “can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago”.
“While he’s lying down, a micro-drone might target and strike him right in the navel,” he said, laughing while he made the remarks.
The comments were reported by Iran International, a London-based network.
The outlet reported Larijani added “of course, we fight like men”, which suggested Iran would not carry out an attack on Trump.
In a statement to Newsweek, the United States Secret Service said the organisation could not comment on specific protective intelligence matters.
“We operate in a heightened and very dynamic threat environment and the safety and security of the President and all of our protectees remains our highest priority,” a spokesperson said.
“Our teams work around the clock with international, federal, state, and local partners to ensure the highest levels of protection.”
