Iran issues ominous assassination threat to Trump and fires back at his claim new Supreme Leader cannot 'live in peace'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Iran has warned Donald Trump to 'be careful not to be eliminated' after the US President said he did not believe the regime's new Supreme Leader can 'live in peace'.

Mr Trump told Iran to brace for 'death, fire and fury' for keeping the Strait of Hormuz shut before threatening its new leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

He told Fox the new Supreme Leader will be unable to ‘live in peace’ and he was ‘not happy with the appointment’, having warned Iran he would have the final say over their leader.

But the regime's security chief Ali Larijani dismissed Mr Trump's comments, claiming Iran 'is not afraid of your empty threats'.

He added: 'Even those greater than you could not eliminate the Iranian nation. Take care of yourself not to be eliminated!' # id) ?>

4 Iran's new supreme leader was lucky to survive strike that killed his father and is yet to be seen in public because he's still badly injured in hospital, regime official says

Mojtaba, described as a 'wounded veteran' of the war by Iranian state TV, suffered injuries to his legs and is currently in hospital.

'He was also there and he was injured in that bombardment,' Alireza Salarian, Iran's ambassador to Cyprus, told the Guardian.

'I have heard that he was injured in his legs and hand and arm... I think he is in the hospital because he is injured.'

Mojtaba's injuries are behind his mysterious absence from the public eye, the ambassador said, adding he also wants to avoid the glare of Israel and the US.

5 Maybe he's in a state akin to the Leader in 'Sleeper'. Begs the question if they'll refer to him as the Nose or most Holy Nose.

Ace of Spades today: "You might have seen the amazing video of Iran welcoming its new Supreme Leader.

The actual Supreme Leader was not present. (Tousi TV says there are legitimate reports that he was hit during the early rounds of bombing and lost his leg and is currently in a coma.)

So to welcome the totally-alive New Supreme Leader, they brought out -- and this is not a joke, this happened -- a cardboard cut-out of a human silhouette with a photograph of the totally-alive Mojtada Khamenei's head on top of it."
