Iran Promises Revenge, Trump Swaps Planes Like Spy in Midlife Crisis
KEY POINTS
- •Mojtaba Khamenei, seriously wounded in the attack on his father, vowed on Telegram to avenge those deaths.
- •Israel reported Iran officials discussed assassinating Trump, causing the former president to switch Air Force One planes mid-flight on July 9.
- •Trump threatened ‘1000 missiles locked and loaded’ on Truth Social to punish Iran, ending with a surprising 'PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!'
Mojtaba Khamenei, who hasn’t been seen publicly since catching more than feelings (he was seriously wounded when his dad, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, was assassinated), declared revenge 'will most certainly be carried out'—because ambiguous threats never go out of style. Meanwhile, Israel spilled tea about Iran plotting to off Trump, who, clearly spooked, ditched the flashy new Qatar-sourced Air Force One mid-flight on July 9 for the slightly older, more creaky model—as if channeling James Bond but forgot the villain. Trump, not missing a beat, threatened ‘1000 missiles locked and loaded’ to ‘completely decimate Iran,’ and closed by shouting 'PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!' on Truth Social, a post so wild even conspiracy theorists needed subtitles.
