A senior Iranian official has suggested President Trump could be assassinated while he sunbathes at his estate in Florida.

Javad Larijani, an adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued the warning on Iranian state television in the wake of US intervention in Iran’s conflict with Israel.

“Trump has done something so that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It’s very simple,” he said with a laugh, according to the London-based media outlet Iran International.

The comments were reported as a website called “Blood Pact” claimed to have raised more than $40 million for “retribution against those who mock and threaten the supreme leader Ali Khamenei”.

Iran making us envision "Trump sunbathing" is itself an act of terrorism.
