Trump, in his less diplomatic style, has repeated Biden’s warning, albeit in much more colorful language. He told reporters in the Oval Office in February that he had “left instructions” for what should happen if he is murdered by Iran. “If they do it, they get obliterated,” the president said. “There will be nothing left.”

After brokering a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Donald Trump is urging Israel and Hamas to make a deal that would stop the 20-month-long war in Gaza that has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians and over a thousand Israelis.
